I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Welp.

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

Could there be a clearer metaphor for our country nowadays?

Who did this? 😂

Jeffries releases statement on The Felon and rapist unilaterally bombing Iran. Bypassing Congress and once again acting like the Dictator he dreams of being. There will be repercussions politically and from Iran. Buckle up! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

This is not good.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Trump is now bombing Iran. Here are multiple clips of Trump campaigning against endless wars, Middle East conflicts, and boasting that he will stop World War III.

Trump announces attack on Iran. No congressional approval. At the hands of the self-proclaimed "anti-war" president.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

Sadly, the weak, compliant reporters in the mainstream media won’t stop. After all, they don’t want to lose “access.”

JUNETEENTH in Harlem. This is what America is about. Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep. It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

These ICE thugs in no way resemble anything Americans have conventionally thought of as competent law enforcement They are *at best* a half-step above the Proud Boys

HOLLYWOOD: Trump’s unhinged Gestapo smashes a window then tackles and arrests an American citizen for filming it, saying “I got one” and counting like they’re playing some kind of sick video game. (For money) www.latimes.com/california/s...

Landry Bell, born with Down syndrome, wriggled in his sister’s lap outside Sen Mike Lee’s office as his mom begged lawmakers not to gut Medicaid. Landry & Little Lobbyists—kids w/ complex medical needs—spent the day crisscrossing the Hill to say: our lives are not expendable. #DontKillOurMedicaid

🧵 They call it the Big, Beautiful Bill, but brave kids w/ medical complexity—& their fierce, exhausted parents—know the truth. In 2017, the Little Lobbyists formed to stop Trump from gutting the ACA. They packed the halls of Congress with wheelchairs, feeding tubes,& love—& won. #DontKillOurMedicaid

My latest: "Federal Judge Orders Immediate Release of Pro-Palestinian Student and Activist Mahmoud Khalil!" Trump's full-throated attack on immigrants is critical to his authoritarian crackdown. But the masses are fighting back! thelefthook.substack.com/p/federal-ju...

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

“If you cut Medicaid, you’re cutting me.” This young man with Down syndrome says it all. GOP senators want to gut the care that helps him live with dignity. Watch. Listen. Share. Then call your Senators and demand they vote NO. #DontKillOurMedicaid

This m’fkr. Spending taxpayer money to soak up carcinogens while cutting cancer research. He has excellent healthcare ins to fall back on. My son has an incurable skin cancer syndrome, Nevus Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome. He no longer has his Medicaid to fall back on. FUCK I hate this timeline.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

Trump would bring back slavery if he could.

FOX is total CRAP!

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Whoops, I accidentally hit repost...

An important history lesson from the Grandmother of Juneteenth herself, Opal Lee—a living reminder that change takes persistence, protest, and love. Because of her tireless fight, Juneteenth is now a federal holiday. #Juneteenth

oh fuck this shit so hard

In a massive blow to Trump’s deportation machine, the ICE agents who attempted to gain entry at Dodger Stadium have been REFUSED entry and have been escorted out by LAPD. Good riddance.

You cannot have fascism without militarism. It’s a violence cult, and that violence goes outward as well as inward. This is a regime that celebrates the violent domination of people of color and treats insurrectionists as martyrs. Of course it’s going to war.

IMPORTANT, please pass it on, this could help someone in desperate need! 🙏

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

Barron Trump is the creepiest looking fucker in the world. Bitch looks like Slenderman

Yup, this is MAGA. College is primarily valuable to young women because it’s a great place to look for a husband. bsky.app/profile/keit...

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

BREAKING - A hardworking undocumented immigrant showed up to court - did everything right - and was ripped from his family on the spot. No warning. No mercy. Just gone. He paid taxes. He believed in the system. This is how we repay him. It’s disgusting.

As a former Republican who still speaks with Republicans daily, I wholeheartedly endorse asking every Republican you know this question.👇

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you
