‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

Trump is taking a $400 million luxury jet bribe from Qatar while denying North Carolina $200 million in disaster relief funding.

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

Only in America do businesses have more power than the voting public. We must overturn Citizens United. We must give the voting public their voices back. Corporations should not be able to lobby and buy elections that work for them while the rest of us suffer because we do not have the power.

Because they want to kill us, Congress voted to overturn a Clean Air Act regulation limiting toxic emissions from industrial facilities like refineries, chemical plants, and steel mills. This marks the first Congressional rollback of the landmark environmental law's protections since its creation.

JUST CONTINUE TO SAY NO

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?" That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.

We tried to warn you. Project 2025.

He’s not gonna like this.

Hysterical on her part

ONE VOTE IS NOT A MANDATE. The bill now heads to the Senate, where Republicans are expected to tear up many of the policy provisions sought by House GOP hardliners.

The DeSantis scandal in Florida is blowing up. Will this be the end of him and his wife? @samsteindc.bsky.social talks with Lawrence Mower about the new probe.

MUST WATCH: They bombed a church and killed 4 little Black girls. The FBI knew—and hid it. No arrests for 40 years. This was terrorism. Now they’re banning books to erase it. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they buried. Read it before they ban that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Baby, we were BORN TO RUN!...

Sorry, Grandma, Elon Musk needs more tax breaks to keep building rockets.

Interesting viewpoints on the future direction & philosophy of Bluesky as a company. A world without kings… even the digital world! Thank you @jay.bsky.team

That was fast. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

🔥 Top Campaigns, Last 24 Hours: 1️⃣ “Protect oceans from Trump regime's deep sea mining order” (+3,249) 2️⃣ “Reject Trump Regime's amoral and fiscally irresponsible murder budget” (+1,224) 3️⃣ “No Free Pass for Lawlessness: Stop The Ban on Judges Enforcing Contempt of Court” (+797)

@moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app This person created 7 different accounts to bother me. He posted numerous threatening things to me & other innocent people. Bluesky has replied to my report about his current account, w/an apology for their delay & backlog. unacceptable I’m too uncomfortable.

📌The Cabinet of the United States of America is a collection of the worst, most incompetent morons in history, and we are supposed to just suffer through it as if it was just another cloudy day.

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

Lowering the age of children from 18 to 7 to get SNAP is a clue to their plans. In the 1800s, Trump's favorite century, the largest number of children in workhouses were between 7 and 16 years old. Even odds says we are about to see state bills proposing lowering the employment age dramatically.

Good Morning, America! The end of the line is just the start of the story. Keep up the fight. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/UMVjToYOjbM?...
