Republican priorities.

Take note.

Sign our letter telling your U.S. Senators to VOTE NO on the Republican Big Bad Betrayal Bill and instead prioritize families and our economy over billionaires. #MomsSky action.momsrising.org/sign/SenateR...

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: I asked Sen. Tina Smith if Donald Trump is to blame for the cruelty infecting America. She absolutely torched him: “Trump makes us think people are ASSHOLES. They’re not. HE IS.” A sitting U.S. Senator just called Trump an asshole. Mic. Freaking. Drop. 🎤

ICE is the new American gestapo. No one is safe.

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

Seriously, how the hell did the Trump administration spend — or more accurately, waste — $45 million on that pathetic military parade? It was a national embarrassment. Really, where did all that money go? Makes no sense, if you ask me.

Free speech for me, a felony for thee.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

I want to be clear: I cannot get enough of this content. My appetite for this public humiliaition is insatiable. My schadenfreude tank is unfillable. I want more- always more.

Millions of protesters across the U.S. took to the streets in demonstrations against the Trump administration today, in stark counter-programming to the president's Washington, D.C., military parade planned to start this evening.

A friend texted from DC and said people are wandering around wondering where everyone is lol

Protesters formed a human banner at Ocean Beach during the "No Kings" protests in San Francisco. The protest is among thousands of nationwide demonstrations that took place today against Trump. 📸: Photo by @santiagomejia.bsky.social #NoKingsDay

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

In Donald Trump's America, if you say "I am Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary," you get thrown to the floor and handcuffed.

Rep. Lynch: "In late March, ICE agents wearing masks detained Rümeysa Öztürk. And those of you who watched that abduction, when you compare the old films of the Gestapo grabbing people off the streets of Poland ... it does look like the Gestapo."

We’ll wait, brother

Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence fed the JFK files into an AI program, asking it to see if there was anything that should remain classified. https://trib.al/AqWNKuR

If you’re worried about property destruction wait until you hear about climate change

ABC News is suspending @terrymoranabc.bsky.social because he spoke the truth. There is no such thing as a free press in America.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

More gun violence is buried in the awful Republican budget and tax package. SIGN NOW to join @momsrising.org in telling U.S. Senators to vote NO! #MomSky #GunControl action.momsrising.org/sign/Silence...

Jeffries: Yes Joni, the American people know that at some point in their lives, they are going to pass away. The cause of death should not be Republican cruelty

Highly recommend sharing this with friends and family. Important. #HeatherCoxRichardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social [audio version] heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-30-202...

All those old guard conservatives who incrementally moved closer and closer to MAGA are now members of a party that worships a draft dodger, hates NATO, loves Putin, started a trade war, passed record deficits, pardons criminals who beat cops, and hates the Federalist Society.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
