So true....

Justice Clarence Thomas accusing *anyone* of allowing politics to influence their conclusions is rich.

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

Hard to argue with that.

War criminal Netanyahu has been trying to drag the US into a war with Iran since the early 1990s, regularly claiming Iran is only a few weeks from nuclear weapons.

True leadership is facing up to your responsibilities, not running away from G7 meetings and not flogging Chinese phones masquerading to be made in America you fuckin coward! Ever been in a warzone like this hero?

‘Have you no decency?’ Read the scathing letter a Minnesota US Senate staffer sent to Mike Lee

“They said only criminals, and now they’re saying, ‘Well, they did come in illegally, so they are criminals,’” he added. “Hispanics or Latinos that voted for Trump, they didn’t think he was going to go after kids.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

💯 💯 💯

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Good morning bluesky!

If the GOP goes through with plans to sell millions of acres of public land, the Dems should loudly declare that they will take it all back under eminent domain when the get power again. And that there will be no refunds.

The pardons he sold took money from the victims — from their pockets (and ours) right into his.

Would you look at that.

"Maybe you should have marched better in Dear Leader's birthday parade. Kidding! We would have deported her anyway. We don't care about you people."

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

THIS 👇 is the real reason Dotard left the G7!

They just detained Brad Lander.

So devastating 💔

Sadly, I’m afraid that those with smooth brains will NEVER get it. 🙄

„The man from Moscow.“ This is the actual cover page from Le Point.

CNN: You were called out for calling a school board member a 'whore' in a text. You've called one of your congressional colleagues a terrorist. Are you part of the problem? REP. RANDY FINE: Calling evil for what it is, calling danger for what it is is acceptable

Was Chuck Todd expecting Trump to de-escalate? Oh, Chuck.

Minnesota Star Tribune debunks each of the lies and conspiracies posted on social media from Mike Lee, Elon Musk, and all the other usual suspects who do this EVERY time. www.startribune.com/fact-check-d...

Vaccines save lives!

Not to alarm everyone, but there’s a lot going on right now…

Censure now

Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

The Senate Majority leader is lying

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

DON JR: They talk a lot about the rhetoric & the violence and it seems to be caused mostly by them NN: You don't think everybody has to turn it down? DON JR: I'm seeing it come from the left. The guy in Minnesota seems to be a leftist. NN: He voted for your dad JR: I'll believe it when I see it

Huge clematis in my garden. I can’t remember the variety. 🌱

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

Happy 41st birthday to Tim Lincecum!! I really miss watching him work. Here's a painting of “the Freak” with the Giants in April of 2009. Still haven’t been able to find out who the photographer is, but credit to them for a great shot!!
