This is a fact 👇

This is just awesome!

Make no mistake: everything that Republicans are doing, from selling off public lands to gutting Medicaid, is to enrich the wealthy while everyone else pays the price. #DontKillOurMedicaid

🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦 Thank you Canada😍

Outrageous: ICE agents arrested a former U.S. Army interpreter who risked his life aiding American troops in Afghanistan, right after his asylum hearing in San Diego. The interpreter legally entered the U.S. after the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

After the nurnberg wanna be rally last night, the troops cheering in agreement and the silence from flag officers, are we common citizens still confident that the military will defend the Constitution? I have been and continue to be dubious.

LA? www.history.com/this-day-in-...

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

If LA becomes the Reichstag moment, the 14 June parade his Nurnberg parade moment, Canada his Sudetenland grind, Musk his troublesome Roehm, immigration his target minority, when will we have the Night of the Long Knives party purge and elevation of Miller as Himmler?

What could possibly go wrong with deploying the National Guard against civilians? #IYKYK #4DeadinOhio #KentState youtu.be/hUzlpIxXbtM?...

I know it's not germane to this moment, just before LA becomes the Reichstag Fire moment: why, over the last 40 years, hasn't government viciously prosecuted companies that hire workers illegally? Just like the war on drugs, they focus on the supply, not the demand. All about $$$ for corps.

Pondering the synchronicity of a Red Square style parade on 14 June which happens to be one month before Bastille Day.

This is what we have become? Sadly yes. Stand-up on the 14th.

Two tarantulas in a bowl. Trump and Musk? (ai generated image if you couldn't tell )

What it must feel like so much of the time to be a young woman in today's America....

If the GOP says that Universities shouldn't be spending more than 15% of grant money on overheads - maybe we should have a law to apply the same standard to all 501.3(c)s, PACs, and Churches!!!!!

More hypocrisy from MAGA+GOP : bitch and moan when military bases and posts are renamed (i'm no fan of that)... but then they rename facilities, ships, etc. because they don't like the "message" the names send. So tired of this hypocrisy www.military.com/daily-news/2...

A reminder of what resistance means. What it may cost. We are not alone. We speak with one indignant voice. The Constitution took blood and overcoming fears. The struggle is real. We are not alone. We stand on shoulders of giants. music.youtube.com/watch?v=luVp...

So I am listening to all this about medicaid cuts that we are told are non-cuts: I gotta ask, are we actually going to believe these people about medicaid when they are the same ones who told us they'd lower prices on day one? And send the stock market to new heights? Really?

@markhertling.bsky.social ... fine job on morning Joe. especially liked the psychological impact on Russia like Doolittle's Raid! This will impact their focus on internal security. ... across the nation's scope.

Brilliant!

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

Resist this disrespect to the laws that have helped each of us preserve the union for 250 years.

#6 ... sure sounds like Political Kommissars installed everywhere to spy, report, override, to ensure ideological purity and unquestioning compliance with the Great Leaders dictates.

Never ever mess with social security and never ever mess with the Boss.

We can deliver a smarter, stronger and safer Europe. A Europe open for business, that innovates, with new ways to tackle old problems.

JUST NOW — Ben from Ben & Jerry’s interrupts the RFK JR. hearing: “Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by kicking kids off Medicaid! They need to let food in to starving kids in Gaza!” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJpRn4B...

The complete lack of ethics and sense of morality and justice is just so effin disappointing to the point of visceral militant disgust.
