Hard agree!

Trump giving a partisan political speech on a military base to active duty troops, something that George Washington said in his farewell address to the nation that a president should never do. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Shameful. The military is being politicized and taking sides. This is unprecedented in American history.

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

The Canadian Shield covers half of Canada and is arguably the nation's most prominent feature. It has a history that dates back billions of years, with mountains that rose higher than the Himalayas. This is the story of The Canadian Shield. 🧵1/10

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Oh my god, a trash can is on fire in LA!!! There’s a car doing donuts! A car DOING DONUTS! Call in the National Guard.

Karma, karma, karma, karma-chameleon…🎶

is truth a defense in this case? Is ABC News saying that @TerryMoran can't say the truth?

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

We refuse to stay silent while ICE terrorizes working class communities. We are turning out and standing united in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social calling on the release of SEIU President David Huerta!

Yes he has, Bill.

I know who his dad was.

Meanwhile, nobody seems worried about the breakup’s impact on Lil’ X.

❗️🇩🇪German Chancellor Merz believes some 🇺🇸US lawmakers are underestimating the scale of 🇷🇺Russia's rearmament campaign. "I met with several senators and urged them to pay attention to the rearmament that Russia is carrying out"

Look, um…look, er… moving parts, er…um

Not before Musk keys the car with his very special, gold key to the Whote House that his former bff gave him.

I’m more convinced than ever now with Steve Bannon trying to throw more chum in the water. Chaos is their friend & thru chaos they distract us from evil elsewhere. Thiel is still consolidating our data, senate is still trying to kick millions off healthcare & Trump still has us in failed trade war

Over/under on days before pardon?

There’s a moral to this story, Elon.

This post has Big Dick Nixon energy.

The straightest thing you can do as a man is to think a lot about two other guys' balls.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Is Elon a “big, beautiful” disappointment?

So if you meet with these historians, I'll tell you what to say Tell them that Nazis never really went away They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies
