Today was basically the plot to Top Gun 2, except Mav didn’t have to steal an F14 to get home

You couldn’t pay me to take a Tesla Robotaxi.

Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."

Now DHS says we’re in a “heightened threat environment.” Violence up. Islamophobia up. Antisemitism up. This is what happens when empire goes kinetic abroad, it fractures at home. And they’ll use that fear to justify more force, not less.

If he fits, he sits #caturday

Dottie is tired in the way only an idle cat can be tired…

Schiff: "It's not an operation that should've ever been authorized by the president in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb."

Bluesky does have the juice - my mentions were overflowing with nimbys and randos who don't understand housing policy.

Take note.

Remember how many of you voted for no more wars and lower gas prices? Don’t worry, we won’t let you forget.

Even with everything else going on, I am still fixated on this obscenely terrible and dangerous headline from the Washington Post. Do they really believe that Democrats are looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed and arrested or are they sucking up to their billionaire owner?

Nature unleashed on the Cantabrian coast, Spain #photography #light #nature #landscape

“A 360° moment beneath ancient stone giants.” This panoramic view from Arches National Park is one of those scenes that makes you turn slowly in every direction—just to take it all in. #photography #light #nature #landscape

Hello all 👋 been travelling for a month in the Canary Islands and let my social media behind. Here I back from a image of my recent trip to Tenerife #photography #light #nature #landscape #nightscape

Absolutely amazing 🤩

A fairytale in Tuscany. Fun fact: Taken with my smartphone

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

It is reported that several US military tankers are currently moving eastward across Europe.

Hello from the Welsh border where I’m celebrating my 79th birthday. 21C high, 10C low, humidity 63%, pressure 1027.1 mb, wind 14 kph, partly cloudy, but no rain. This view taken around 10.00 a.m A heart wave is on its way.

Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

As a parent I can confirm this is the best No Kings sign

A bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour from $7.25 is back – but you might be surprised at who’s leading the charge.

Political violence must always be condemned.

The Trump Phone debuts in the US!

I’m sure Trump will tweet about how awesome the parade was since it clearly wasn’t and he is a gaslighter

Ukrainian Defense Forces launch counterattack, pushing Russians out of Sumy YouTube video by Kanal13 www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5E2...

We have plenty of reasons to be in the streets today. But one big one is we’re marching because Rep. Melissa Hortman can’t. We’re sending love to her family, and we’re sending rage toward Washington, D.C.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

If they can do that to a United States senator... think about how little they care about what they do to us.

That fuckhead Netanyahu was DESPERATE to draw US troops into a war in the Middle East, and he has succeeded.🤦🏽‍♀️

On the Ben Franklin Parkway, they keep coming and coming

This House member is freaking awesome. This is what we need more of!

In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects. Just us—‘We the People.’

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

If the proposed Congressional budget were to become law, five rural hospitals in NC could be in danger of closing: UNC Rockingham Hospital in Eden Person Memorial Hospital in Roxboro Chatham Hospital in Siler City MH Angel Medical Center in Franklin Blue Ridge Region Hospital in Spruce Pine

Ran into Senator Katie Britt and asked her if she would vote no on the reconciliation bill — which will cut Medicaid and re-segregate higher education. “A lot of people are going to die and it’s going to be because you voted for it.” Senator do you hear me?” Just a blank stare?”

10/10 signs! #NoKings
