In the spirit of saying thanks to the people (that's you) who have helped us get here, we’re showing our gratitude this week. Here’s a thread on what’s coming up👇

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Statement from the #MusiciansUnion of the United States 🇺🇸 and #Canada 🇨🇦 to the fat bastard #BruceSpringsteen #TaylorSwift

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

After crashing the stock market, Trump is now in FL for the rest of the week hosting the Saudi-owned LIV golf league at his course.

Can we stop calling billionaire CEO investors and world destroyers ‘rock stars’. They are the thing you rebel against. They aren’t articulating their pain into beauty. They are just dickheads making life a bit more shit.

They don't have all of the media. Please share widely!!!

“My hope is that the dam will break in terms of Democrats going on the offense ... We need to take the argument directly to the people.” AOC

Looks like we are deporting innocent men to the Salvadoran gulag for having tattoos in Spanish that say things like "strong like my mom" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

from today's post — thanks for reading! link to the whole enchilada is here: bit.ly/43uZcdM

The beginnings of "Group Think".

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Large amounts of ketamine can make anyone feel like they rule the world. When should Americans start worrying about Elon Musk’s regular use? @shaylalove.bsky.social reports:

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

🚨NEW: Canada/EU Allies Forge New Security Alliances/Possible Ukraine Ceasefire Deal as Russia Falters and U.S. Influence Dies crier.co/new-canada-e...

Not that new though- he’s been the leader of the free world for a while now! 🇺🇦

“Trump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “The truth is ugly, but it’s necessary to face it.” theatln.tc/OBWzC38t

So that we're clear about this, the Trump administration is not only doing nothing to deport human traffickers, it has literally gone of out its way to IMPORT human traffickers.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Courage and truth always win in the end.

“This is our documentary moment” @janefonda.com

“The CFPB is there to make sure that Elon's new project can't scam you or steal your sensitive personal data...This is like a bank robber trying to fire the cops, and turn off the alarms just before he strolls into the lobby.” US Sen. Elizabeth Warren More here:

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

We’re cooked

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Ok that made me laugh

Border czar Tom Homan went on TV Monday, bumbling and sweating like a madman to keep his feud going with AOC. AOC responded with this fire: “This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing.” More here:

Keep on fighting AOC!

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: Lies do not suddenly become truths because, instead of shouting them out with orange makeup and a wig, you serve them up with a smile, eyeliner and a hipster beard.

Yesterday Elon Musk joined Trump in the Oval Office for a “press conference,” which was really nothing more than another propaganda session. The whole thing was so strange. Trump seemed like a heavily sedated animal at the zoo, hunched over his desk, letting Musk do most of the talking.

"Nearly one-third of seized fentanyl attributed to the U.S.-Canada border had no connection with Canada" www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... (🎁 link)

Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

"Canada is not for sale!", bellows Doug Ford, while simultaneously selling out Canada.

In Halifax, #LPCLdr candidate Mark Carney is announcing climate policy: "What's the bottom line? Canada can become a clean energy superpower and make the most of our existing oil and gas resources during the transition." 5/5

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

What a positive perspective.
