Milford Mass high school junior snatched by ICE. “He’s been here since before kindergarten, he’s an honor student, and a member of the high school band. His classmates are terrified. This is not the United States of America that we signed up for.” 🤬😢 www.boston25news.com/news/local/m...

Being in a constant state of 😡outrage😡is exhausting. Find an outlet for those feelings. Get in the street and start yelling 📣 #weekinprotest thepeopledissent.substack.com/p/660-protes... www.fiftyfifty.one June 14 #nokings 🚫👑 actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

This this this ALL OF THIS. Thank you Bill.

Yesterday was Ozzy's #GotchaDay! Two years of joyous enthusiasm and endless laughs. You cannot be around this dog long without smiling.

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

Publicly, anyway. Dark money and crypto bribery options still open. Billionaires gonna corrupt and steal any way they can.

MAGA: drain the swamp! Me: yeah! MAGA: we need more transparency in government! Me: agreed! MAGA: too much corruption! Me: right on! MAGA: Hunter Biden & Burisma was shady AF! Me: no doubt! MAGA: Trump openly accepting jets as gifts & profiting off crypto isn't corruption. Me: *drowns self in swamp*

Well that tracks

A reminder that none of this is true about AOC, it’s demonstrably and provably untrue, and it’s being pushed by the kind of C-list (ok, D-list?) celebs who flock to Trump and MAGA:

Less rain, more sun. Happy Friday!

I dunno, maybe we should stop falling for the notion that a politician that calls everyone else CORRUPT, or LIARS, or CHEATERS.... Couldn't POSSIBLY be a corrupt, lying, cheat himself. 🤯😒 Yes some people just ARE that shamelessly hypocritical and sociopathic. 🤷‍♀️

The people telling you the only one losing their Medicaid/Medicare are the lazy moocher frauds who don't qualify... Are the same people telling you the only people being deported without due process are the most evil bloodthirsty gang members.

MAGA thinks this won't hurt Americans. Wrong. Many poor American students are able to enroll for free because many international students are able to pay full rates. This attack is petty, dictatorial, vindictive, and makes America stupider. apnews.com/live/donald-...

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

According to ProPublica, more than a dozen top executive branch officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump's "Liberation Day" market crash.  Today would be a great day to ban public servants from trading stocks, don't you think?

Not only do the rich get richer, but the visual of the "lower class" peasants being kicked off their healthcare and dying in the streets makes it abundantly clear who is #WINNING in America! THAT'S what trump means by MAGA....

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

The Cuomo kids just need to GO THE EFF AWAY already. Democrats need to clean house in so many ways.

It's the cirrrrrrrcle of liiiiiiife.... The Republican model: slowly break things, obstruct anyone who wants to fix it citing the debt, and once all hell breaks loose from it being broken, blame the other side for not bothering to fix it. Let it crumble. Then, privatize the thing and buy stock.

16 Democrats joined Republicans to advance crypto regulation that's been rubber stamped by the industry — as Trump profits off his own memecoin. Why? Crypto corporations have shelled out huge campaign contributions to both parties. Big Money has corrupted the system.

We want to call out a blatant lie spread by Elon Musk. Under his leadership, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed that 40% of calls to the Social Security Administration (SSA) were fraudulent. That’s been thoroughly debunked. An internal review of over 110,000

We cannot separate what has happened to working people over the last five decades from the dangerous lure of Trumpism. To build a path forward, we must debunk these 10 destructive myths about our rigged economy.

They wanna sell the data Elon and DOGE has on us all. Because of course. 🤑🤑🤑

So many prom pictures in my feeds lately. Your kiddos look great! Hope they have a blast! 🔥 Anyone else skip their prom? And despite all the warnings and naysayers, not regret it one bit? (I also skipped the whole procreation thing, despite the same warnings and naysayers, haha 🤷‍♀️😆)

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018% But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%. "Efficiency."

I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked

"Government is fundamentally different from business. The first responsibility of a business is to make money; the first responsibility of a government is to protect and empower its citizens." - George Lakoff

Can we collectively dispense with the idea that since billionaires are already rich, they CAN'T be corrupted, and would make good public servants who would NEVER exploit government positions to further enrich themselves...? To be a billionaire means you already have insatiable GREED.

It's all a grift. All of it. A ponzi scheme. Trump & his buddies are just making BANK off us.

⚠️ ICYMI: Republicans snuck language into the budget reconciliation bill that will divert $10B a year from public schools to fund private school vouchers. It's a public school defunder & tax avoidance scheme all in one. Call your reps --> 5calls.org/issue/educat... www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

This is why having an easily manipulated president who only requires flattery to "make a deal"....is dangerous

If you rob a store without a mask in broad daylight, your brazeness doesn't nullify the crime. Blatantly transparent corruption is still corruption.

The U.S. welcome mat is rolling up — at least that’s how some international travelers see it, according to a global organization representing the travel and tourism industry. It could cost the U.S. billions.

Cleveland didn’t take it home with him. BTW, Congress voted to accept the gift. It was hardly a bribe.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

So many layers of corruption.

Instead of watching the Cavs further embarrass themselves and their fanbase, I instead decided to be productive. Working on local campaign graphics to elect non-MAGA candidates. Sick of sports (or anything else) being my distraction from a fascist takeover. Gotta dump more energy into GOOD things.

I could complain about the refs but even if you took them out of it, the Cavs JUST DON'T CARE. They are ready for summer vacation. It's like the Heat in they're last game. Like the NBA execs just told the team "sorry we're gonna make sure you can't win. It's not your time."

Cavs just flat out GAVE UP. They no longer care. No fire. No ability to even make simple layups, let alone 3s. It's so sad.

I'm flat out embarrassed to be a Cleveland fan. 😞

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

Good god Cavs, don't give up yet another monster lead. It's time for a cavalanche, prove you're meant to be a playoff team.

It's 2025. How are we (as in, humanity) doing? Wellllll.... we're overworked & underpaid, stressed & cynical AF, all we have energy for is social media where we get radicalized by algorithms, lonely as hell as we replace community & church with Netflix & online cults. Do I have that about right?😓
