Words are just script. It’s your actions backing up those words that reflect your true self. Democracy = strength, unity and freedom. Autocracy = weakness, division and one absolute power. #BeCarefulWhatUWishFor California Native ☀️

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

@smith.senate.gov: "They try to pretend that this violence, in this case in Minnesota, was actually driven by left wing ideology, when that is clearly not what is going on here... Let's be honest, here we have Donald Trump, one of the first actions that he took was to pardon the insurrectionists."

“The authoritarian playbook only succeeds if the people fail to recognize that the government’s survival depends on the consent of the governed.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-energy...

Trump is in a foreign country today trashing American Democrats, trashing American cities, and advocating for Putin. In other words, nothing has changed from his previous trips.

Raskin on Trump's corruption: "Whatever kind of varnish they had from the first administration is completely off now. They're not even pretending to do anything else ... it's a gangster state."

Macron in response to the Trump regime and Russia invasion threat: "Greenland is not to be sold or to be taken." "You are not alone, we stand with you" People in Greenland greeted the French leader and waved an EU flag.

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Donald Trump just laid bare his real immigration plan: 1) Target blue cities 2) Inflame tensions, divide families and stir up more chaos 3) Placate the MAGA base at the expense of our economy. Trump’s extreme policies are tearing the country apart and bad for America.

Influencers like Alex Jones and Elon Musk have spent the weekend blaming the murder of Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman on leftists and the deep state. www.wired.com/story/psyop-...

Trump administration slapped with ‘impoundment’ violation for freezing library, museum funding.

They are driving this shit into people’s backyards. Jesus.

I'm now following Newsom, et al. v. Trump, et al. (National Guard Deployment [Appeal]): View Full Case | Complaint #CL70527602

Turtle Mutual Aid:

This is not a president of the United States. This is a hateful demagogue and pathological liar who is exploiting the office to sow division and dismantle our democratic system.

The GOP’s “big beautiful bill” doesn’t just slash low-income programs like Medicaid and food stamps—it gives ICE a nice raise, too. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

The debut of American Bitcoin, a mining firm backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has heightened the ethical concerns swirling around the Trump presidency.

When does the “great” part start?

OPINION: “Republicans simply refuse to take any accountability to take fulfill their constitutional responsibilities, to hold the executive in check and it’s dangerous for America” Rep. Seth Moulton, a former Marine, joins @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLt4...

An update from @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social : The Los Angeles Press Club says police officers repeatedly used "less-lethal" bullets and violated the constitutional rights of reporters covering anti-ICE protests.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

No Kings Chicago Style. We like Democracy Neat - no ICE

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Update: Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died after they were shot at their home in Brooklyn Park.

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

Posted near the White House today

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

Seven partners at Willkie Farr & Gallagher — a prominent law firm that cut a deal with President Trump to avoid a potentially punishing executive order — announced that they were departing to join a firm that helped successfully challenge one of Trump’s orders in court.

Get real and get over it.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yesterday, a senior DHS official gave a briefing to an anti-voting group founded by Cleta Mitchell. The event focused on using a federal database to check registered voters’ citizenship information. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
