This week marks 40 years since the first and only time the American government dropped a bomb on its own citizens. Eleven people died. Five were children. Over 60 homes were destroyed. Learn more in @shalisemyoung.bsky.social's latest: https://bit.ly/3S6X9py

In regards to Citizens United

He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing. Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey. And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.

💯

250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king. On June 14, we’re taking to the streets again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS. Over 600 events are planned in all 50 states to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Pathetic!

That last line, PERFECTO!!

Indeed.

I’m not normally a bird watcher, but I was thrilled to catch a blue suited twit sleeping away the day.

Trump hits his 100-day mark and all he does is “win, win, win”… you check the auto layoffs, your investments, or your bank account. youtube.com/shorts/ywYV7...

Comedy is legal on this platform. #handsoff

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

We just secured the liberal majority on Wisconsin's Supreme Court thru 2029! Susan Crawford's big win keeps the highest court in this battleground state from falling into MAGA hands. Thank you for all you did to elect this Indivisible-endorsed candidate (and make Elon Musk waste over $20 million)!

Hey journalism school students! And profs! Here's fodder for essay-question analyses. Both headlines from same paper, 11 months apart. Apr 2024 on left, March 2025 on right. Inflation rate same both times (2.9%) Any subtle difference you see? (I no longer think this "matters" but still)

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judges’ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings

Yep

Everyone should make a pilgrimage to nmaahc.si.edu while they still can... The realest American history, told so powerfully. Allow at least a full day. (You need a timed-entry pass, but it's free.)

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

America is poorer and more isolated because rather than vote for an intelligent, compassionate and worthy president millions either could not be bothered to vote / voted for an evil and corrupt orange monster instead. Racism and misogyny has doomed us all. 😭 #IRS

Why is Russia bombing schools and apartment buildings, and why are Trump, Vance, Rubio, Witkoff silent about it?

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Martin O'Malley, former Social Security commissioner, says he believes the Trump administration has already taken 90% of the actions necessary to crater Social Security.

WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

Are we great yet?

Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff assures us that none of these nightly attacks are actually happening because the Kremlin assured him that they are not taking place and “I trust Putin is acting in good faith.”
