"As we celebrate Pride let us pause for a moment to remember. This is an image of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget." #PRIDE #AIDS #HIV

Here's a thought, Elon's personal security detail were "deputized" as U.S. Marshalls. Perhaps THEY can do the arrests.

Given that this is just a dust-up between two cult leaders with highly dedicated members, the question I'd be asking is: "Does the White House staff a DOGE member?"

Come to think of it, Elon has screwed both Trump AND Miller this past week...niiiiice!

It's like watching "Shoot the Moon" readapted as a comedy.

The adjectives “big” and “beautiful” would normally be curious for a piece of legislation projected to impoverish, deny medical coverage, and fixate a dictatorship. But given the sponsorship of the Republican Party, it’s simply economic genocide, executed at a distance.

Look what Jake Tapper did to us. His garbage book—which contains none of the proof it claims to include—is the foundation a vile madman will now use to justify ending our democracy by undoing actions he’d otherwise not be able to touch. Democracy dies as Tapper swims in gold, Scrooge McDuck-style.

Totally not fascist.

I can't be the only one thinking that the countries now under travel ban by Trump are his future deportation destinations.

DeLauro uses her opening statement to tear Russ Vought a new one

Rhymes with "witch."

Do you really think client-confidentiality is maintained in a Trump-obligated law firm?

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ☎️ Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get married to the same sex. Don’t like gender-affirming care? Don’t have any. Don’t like Planned Parenthood? Don’t go there. Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one. Just because *you* don’t like it doesn’t mean *others* shouldn’t be able to it.

Day 1193 of my 3 day war. Several billion dollars worth of Russian aircraft were destroyed by several thousand dollars of Ukrainian drones. I remain a master strategist.

The Republican Party has chosen to fight poverty by killing off all the poor people.

Emergency video! Ukraine has the cards

Trumplings

If America’s Capitalists could be trusted to pay a living wage, there’d be no need for Minimum Wage, SNAP or Medicaid. Sadly, they cannot, and Republicans work cheap by comparison. Thus, our current State.

In Trump's case, shouldn't it be referred to as "The Urinary Executive Theory"? You know, the one where he pees all over The Supreme Court?

If someone isn’t parking a TACO food truck outside the White House, what are we even doing with this stupid timeline!?

Taco Supreme Leader.

NEW: Everything wrong in America is because of the ultra-wealthy. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/its-the-ol...

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

What will it take for you to speak out about ICE? They are ignoring court orders. They are abducting people in broad daylight. Will it take them coming after your family for you to speak out? That'll be to late. Call your 2 Senators & your Congressional rep at 202-224-3121 right now.

In a long monologue in the Oval Office beside Canadian PM Mark Carney this afternoon, the President appears to say the trade "deals" his team are working on are not deals in the traditional sense, as they will not have to be signed. This is really significant! More in thread.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

If you haven't been listening to Pink Floyd's "Animals" on an endless loop since January 20th, 2017, you've been enduring much needless suffering. P.S. - If you have no idea of what band and/or album I speak of, get a copy.

My personal Dream Trifecta are the passing of Trump, Murdoch, and McConnell in the same week.

"The theory ginned up by the GOP justices to bless their expansive vision of presidential power has some real shortcomings. Taken for all its worth, it could allow POTUS to blow up the economy by firing the Fed chair. So they had to announce an absurd exception to it." — @leahlitman.bsky.social

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.
