Born in Maine, living in what was once a lovely-shade-of-blue state known as Missouri, now a gerrymandered-red state. Thank you, homies. Thank you. 🥰

Double.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

I am unsure how these leaders restrain themselves from punching him in his syphilitic mushroom

Is it just the ones who are inside someone’s womb? Asking for a friend. FFS.

She should give up her tax payer funded healthcare. She doesn’t need it. She’s going to die anyway - per herself.

“Fixing climate change is too expensive.” Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing. Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

This is my late grandfather. He served many tours in WWII in Europe & the Ardennes. He was injured twice but survived. After the war, his heart was always heavy with the loss of his fellow soldiers. This admin doesn't deserve honor, but the soldiers he mourned do. My flag flies in their memory.💙

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Guy who got a "free" $400M plane from Qatar was up late tweeting about corruption.

Wanna know a great way to tank the economy? Take Medicaid and SNAP away from seniors like my mother. Who do you think has to pick up the difference? ME. VERY few of my $ will be going to "boost the economy," that's for sure. It's lockdown time. Put a Gen Xer in survival mode, we're gonna survive. 🖕🤬

I can't believe we're still dealing with this piece of shit. Fuck everyone who stayed home last November because the Dems didn't give them a cookie. Fuck all of y'all who can't be bothered to pay attention, who want everything wrapped in a TikTok video, who can't vote in midterms because REASONS.

This part

The farm workers who feed America have earned the right to stay in America without fear. The bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernizaron Act will create the opportunity for them to do so. We welcome its reintroduction. ufw.org/farm-workers...

#Mainers - you understand this assignment, right? RIGHT? I'm trying to dig my idiot current state of MO out of MAGATism. Don't let my home state fall, please. #MainersForGolden @golden.house.gov

Since Drumpf 1.0, it's been a challenge to find non-MAGA sources for things I buy regularly. I never expected my go-to good guys would become part of the problem, but here we are. Still trying to find new sources for a few staples, but making good progress. Self-inflicted wound, Target. Bad move.

The good folks at @contrariannews.org win the sentence of the day in this article. Wish I could bold it and put it in italics! contrarian.substack.com/p/words-and-... "Frankly, I am concerned that members of today’s corporate media think their job is stenography; not journalism."

In case you need a dose of joy today. You're welcome. 🥰 @kamalaharris.com @2rawtooreal.bsky.social

All Of This! The Constitution Says This Is Illegal!

🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit Court of Appeals DENIES Pennsylvania’s motion that would allow counties to reject undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots in the state's May primary elections. A victory for our clients and the voters of Pennsylvania www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

There are two 30+ year banking and financial services pros in this house, and we are shocked ... SHOCKED, I tell you, that a compromised orange seditionist's bad policy has led to this result. Flabbergasted. Dumbfounded. Could have never seen this coming. #sarcasm 😏🤔

This post wins my favorite post on BlueSky for, like, ever.
