Y’all really need to come to terms with your cops being thugs and oppressors. I know it’s hard, but it is the truth.

Former police officer takes Email Job and immediately crumbles, describing the mere act of going to an office every day as a Herculean act of strength and discipline.

I outlived Bernie Kerik.

“The White House takes cybersecurity very seriously.” HAHA yeah. Apparently, someone hacked Susie Wiles personal phone and made a bunch of calls pretending to be her. Eventually asking for wire transfers. LOL. Way to keep it safe, TACO. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Stick this directly into my veins

America suffers mental anguish every day it sees Trump on TV.

The Pentagon is pulling $1B from Army barracks—money meant to fix mold, broken plumbing, and dangerous living conditions. Trump says he “has their back,” but he’s gutting Troop housing to fund his border surge. Talk is cheap. This is who he really is. MORE: www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Begging everyone left of center to rally behind Mamdani and pre-empt the revival of Andrew Fucking Cuomo

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 75 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Today’s hero who tossed out the TACO bomb! 👏👏

For the media, political leaders, my fellow citizens - apply the “Barack Test” as you witness the dismemberment of our democracy. What would you have said/done if Barack had done what the Trump administration is doing almost daily. Why are you quiet now? Time to get vocal, committed and ACTIVE.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

By now you've probably heard that 🪱 intends to limit Covid vaccine recommendations. Here's what limited recommendations means for you. Tl;dr: lots more hoops to jump through. Thanks to @laurelbristow.bsky.social for this summary

My dog understands every word I say.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Charlie Rangel. A founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. A fearless fighter for Harlem. A decorated veteran who never stopped serving the people.

the sorrow & the pity is a masterpiece. see it if you haven’t already

Republicans are defined by their anger. Democrats are defined by their hope.

🇺🇸 "As a sailor, who read Stars & Stripes newspaper in the 1970s, and then became the Managing Editor of that great, editorially independent newspaper many years later, I had the honor of being a part of our military, and understand it, and them, better than that punk, country club bully ever will."

My sweet princess love angel dog, Ms Dandelion Letitia is very annoying tonight. She’s been running around the house barking at something outside. There’s a lot of something outside, could be a bear or coyote.i told her she’s too old to go out there & fight something.

Maxine Berg shows how the “nimble fingers” stereotype first arose in the early Industrial Revolution as a way for managers to de-skill the labor of women workers. It was also used to exoticize labor of Navajo semiconductor manufacturers at Shiprock in the 60s. The term has a long sordid history.

Racism shortens Black people’s lives. I see no reason we should “stop” talking about it

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Project 2025 doesn’t just erase history—it actively re-writes it. They are literally re-writing it. These children will grow up having been TAUGHT that Joe Biden and the basically cheated in the 2020 election—only because Trump lost. These students will grow up, have kids and teach them the same.

Republicans are so disgraceful. These officers are heroes and every sane person in this country knows that. Screw the GOP. The rest of us are truly grateful for their service. Thank you: @libradunn1.bsky.social @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social RIP Officer Sicknick 🙏🏼 l.smartnews.com/p-lgmwzSU/iO...
