On the one hand, things are pretty f*cking bleak. On the other hand, it's June 🌈, it didn't rain (much) today ☀️, and we have each other to fight these cretins. Love wins. #keepfightingback

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

Wow — John Fetterman has missed a remarkable 30 votes this year, has cancelled town halls, and avoids engaging with voters. But he did make time to go on a first-class, five-star hotel, all-expenses paid $36,000 trip to Israel to barbecue & hang out with Israeli military and government officials.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

#Russia is about to succeed in what they said about 70 years ago. That they would take #America without firing a shot. They almost have. Entirely. They have our data. They own our government. We have no laws. No due process. People are being eugenics’d out or disappeared. #RESIST

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump Cut Deal To Let *Sinaloa Cartel Members* Into US apnews.com/article/el-c...

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

I’m so glad that Donald Trump is laser focused on both rooting out corruption in Washington and making sure it’s always “America First” #QatarForceOne

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

WTF is going on? Where’s Hegseth?

I'm no fan of Mike Pence's stance or policies (or really his personality or anything else about him...) BUT he is absolutely a national hero for doing the right thing on Jan 6th when he was pressured to reject the Constitution and all that it stands for - he is a Profile in Courage.

“I don’t think Americans need two kidneys. They can have one. One big beautiful kidney. The other they can sell to buy groceries.”

May the fourth be with you, Illinois.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Holy McCarthyism. The “Oversight Project”—which began as a project of Heritage Foundation (led by Kevin Roberts)—tweeted on 4/30/25 that it has asked the FBI to “release records regarding Jamie Raskin's father, a suspected communist agent…” 1/ x.com/itsyourgov/s...

Ashley Babbit's family is poised to recieve 30 million dollars (from tax payers) thanks to the Dept of Justice... Mrs Sicknick just wanted a phone call and the people who assaulted her son Brian held accountable.

In Star Wars. those who have embraced the Dark Side of the Force wield red lightsabers. So, in other words, perfect.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Trump said that he does have the ability to bring back Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, but is not willing to do so.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

"Any leader that would force a back tax on their own people in the form of tariffs lacks both intelligence and compassion." - Barack Obama, 2011

If this makes you happy you've been walked to a dark as hell place. And I am sad for you.

Call me old fashioned, but I think any president creating a meme coin hustle to recruit anonymous financial backers and rewarding the biggest spenders with “a night to remember” private dinner with the president kinda feels like an impeachable offense.

This is how terrified they are of people in government telling the truth to the American people about what they are doing behind the scenes. Cockroaches hate sunlight.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

American state media are referring to MAGA Steve Witkoff’s meeting with murderous Dictator Putin as constructive. I’ll call it what it really is, him receiving instructions.
