Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

"This is what you get when you order your 79th birthday celebration from Temu, but didn't pay the tariffs."

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

Sometimes I think the “this is just a distraction” crowd just can’t handle the chaos, and that’s their way of cooping. But this is our reality. All of it. We don’t get to pick one crisis at a time. Walk and chew gum.

Sylvester Stewart, better known by his stage name Sly Stone and as the front man of the band Sly and the Family Stone, has died at age 82. The musician died "after a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues," according to a statement from Stone's family on Monday.

RIP, Sly. You were a real one.

I have always loved this clip of Sly and the Family Stone's medley on Ed Sullivan. Simply because Ed's strait laced audience cannot resist the enthusiasm of Sly and the band. What made Sly Stone good,was not only his enthusiasm, but his energy and always thinking what was best for the greater good.

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

"When my time comes, just know I will live on in every 'whatnot' you hear. Whenever you see a momma who's so stupid, or so ugly, I'll be there. I love y'all and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it." - George "Not Dead Yet It's Just a Black and White Photo" Wallace

Makes you think.

Tariffs lingering, complacency creeping in. #econsky

Trump’s @PressSec and the Republicans claiming they’re not increasing the deficit is as big of a whopper of a lie 🤥 as saying they won’t cut Medicaid. Don’t believe us? Ask Republican senator @RandPaul (in the second clip 🤔👇🏽)

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

ICE warning. This is not a weather post.

‼️‼️

Fact-check: True

It’s plain for all to see.

Shout out to my Bluesky fam. I feel the love here. Thank you so much for welcoming me and so forth, what have you, etcetera

No, you’re not crazy. They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

Definitely a bribe!

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: 📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices 📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices 📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

Aaaand there it is.

Dog and pony show.

The Trump regime will warmly welcome the first group of white South Africans it has classified as refugees to the United States early next week. Although Trump was quick to halt virtually all other refugee admissions after he took office in January, his regime “hastily put together a program to…

“.. This tariff situation is a complete dumpster fire, and we're all getting burned. Here's the situation: Costs are up, and unfortunately, our prices will have to follow suit. .. Honestly, we're just as confused as everyone else.” @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/05/04/r...

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

This hits hard—and says everything about where we are right now. A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivor—and this is an “anti-Black moment”.

This is real

And somehow, there are still vets out here backing this man? It makes zero sense. He dodged the draft, insulted POWs, called fallen soldiers “suckers”—and now this? At what point is enough finally enough?

#ResistanceRoots Inventor Elijah McCoy was born on this day in 1844 in Colchester, Ontario, Canada. By the turn of the 20th century, McCoy had produced more patents than any other Black inventor up to that time. The phrase “the real McCoy” has been attributed to one of his inventions. /1

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Back from Rome and Melania couldn’t get away fast enough. Separate motorcades.

One of the most under-covered corporate stories of the week. $LEVI $GS

Classic GOP behavior Stealing from the ppl Diverting funds to build stadiums Enriching themselves while those who keep voting for them stay dirt poor Wake up America & see Repubs for what they are Lying, thieving, greedy bastards They talk about fiscal responsibility until they get in office

THIS is what we mean by showing up. Reps Carter, Thompson, Pressley and Sen Markey, went to a detention center where Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk are being held w/out due process. They didn’t just stand up for their own constituents—they stood together for all because there’s power in numbers.

Resistance is NOT futile

Niacin is no longer recommended as a treatment for lowering cholesterol. It’s not as effective at lowering cholesterol as other medications are, and it can lead to adverse effects. cle.clinic/42T8RtY
