Keep telling everyone you know how devastating the big ugly bill will hurt US citizens.

I hereby propose we call the migrant exception for farmers and restaurant owners the Kid Rock Privilege. It'd be a good way to convey how Trump is fucking over small business owners while helping rich people like Kid Rock. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

The symbolism of the abomination’s parade is bringing war to the Capital by starting at the Pentagon.

I know y'all have other things on you're mind right now, but if you need a distraction I wrote about a very nearly complete census taken of all cosmic objects within 65 light-years of the Sun, and it's cool. www.scientificamerican.com/article/mapp... 🧪🔭

As Heather Cox Richardson said in her stream today the Republican administration began taking about sending troops to LA in February 2025. Noem stated the troops will stay there until Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom are removed. Heather said “this is a COUP.”

Rep Baumgartner’s statement on Spokane Police’s use of force last night. He is on the wrong side of history. “I have spoken with Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown and other local government officials about last night's protests…

I want to talk about how the media is going to be responsible for increasing levels of violence. Here's the thing: the protests have been peaceful.

Thank you Senator Alex Padilla.

My question for all the Dem's expressing outrage at the treatment of Padilla is, "Yes, and...?" Responding to fascism with the floor speeches and press releases that barely make a dent in a functioning democracy is criminal fecklessness and dereliction of duty.

Gov. P could teach the rest of the Dem party a few lessons about plain speaking and sticking to principles.

Sociopath

Millions of pounds of food are thrown out every year by pet suppliers. I’m reaching across the aisle to help deliver food to hungry shelter dogs and cats. Congress, let's stop being dogmatic and pass the bipartisan BARK Act!

Former city councilman Ben Stuckart is legal guardian of a Venezuelan youth, they went to his legal check-in, he was detained by ice. Stuckart called for a protest & sat in front of the van. Spokane police fired pepper spray at peaceful protesters. Stuckart was arrested & released.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

To get elected, they said they would only hunt down criminals. His people believed him. I did not. He lied. And now they are terrorizing families. Stationed outside of schools & Home Depots. My heart just aches. It’s family separation stage 2. Cruel & unnecessary.

this breaks my heart @ufw.bsky.social we feed you they hunt us

A few fixes can help protect your home and neighborhood, and buy firefighters precious time. @coloradopublic.bsky.social

Military parade for a draft dodger all the while cutting benefits for our veterans‼️

The way President Trump is wielding his authority to deploy National Guard troops in Los Angeles is unprecedented and untested.

Trump doesn't get what it means it means to be American. He never has. We are taught from childhood that the DNA of our nation was rebelling against a Mad King, not submitting to one. Doesn't matter left or right, this is who we are as Americans. This will not end well for Trump and his regime.

A reminder that the man who ignited violence at the George Floyd protests was identified by police as a white supremacist conspiring to harm the causes of racial justice. Felt like that’s important to share as we observe the Trump regime spew an onslaught of disinformation about LA.
