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.

Damaging vaccine & food supply Destroying weather info access Kidnapping/exiling people to concentration camps Hacking our most sensitive data Preventing due process Hurting children & elders to enrich the 1% If a foreign enemy were doing it, we’d be at war but in 2025 it’s a day ending in Y.

Congresswoman @repjasmine.bsky.social tells me why she is pitching herself to be the ranking Dem on the House Oversight Committee. It’s all about the moment we are in as a nation. Watch:

No tax on tips? Cool. Now make companies pay a living wage so rent doesn’t hinge on someone’s mood after a burger.

America is a husband with fascist perfume & lipstick on his collar, a trail of fascist credit card receipts, & fascist gonorrhea, but his wife is just sure he’s not having a big ol’ fascist affair. We HAVE to wake up. Please protest on 6/14 #NoKings Please call your reps 202–224-3121

Trump has repeatedly abused his authority and broken the law. Courts are calling him out and ordering him to stop. Now we shall see whether our system will survive and prevail.

This‼️

A book detailing all the fucks I give about what Elon Musk thinks about the spending bill.

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

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

My heart hurts today, and every day, about where we could have been. Fuck the entire Trumplandian Universe. We had our joy destroyed.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam

The USA has, or alas maybe soon "had", the greatest research infrastructure in the world. Unambiguously as a country it has driven progress in knowledge in a way that basically nowhere else in history ever has. Its a global tragedy for it to self-euthanise that system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Good one from Andy Borowitz.

The steady stream of gaslighting propaganda, the legislative assaults on vulnerable people, and the clear mental instability of a leader whose sole intention is to seek a new moral bottom—we can't make peace with any of it. No, none of this is normal. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/please-don...

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Hey, Democratic policy makers: most rural people aren’t farmers. We need policies to reflect that fact.

Magapublicans have no use for the Constitution. My latest:

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!

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.

You know how Mike Johnson ran unopposed over and over again in Louisiana and is now Speaker of the House? We aren’t doing that anymore. I’m the Executive Director of Blue Missouri and we are the organization that funds Democrats in the reddest and toughest districts. Join us! bluemissouri.org

It was a really big f*cking deal. #IMissMyCountry #WTFAmerica #HandsOff #WhenWeReallyWereGreat

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Dear Billionaires, If the dollar dies, so do your empires. No vault, jet, or island saves you from a dying planet or a society that no longer buys your stuff. If no one would love you without your money, you’re not powerful, you’re alone. ...

The past few months have been tough, and we just want to say thank you. In the beginning, it felt like we were yelling into the wind, no one was listening. But then you all showed up. You raised your voices, shared the truth, and made the media pay attention.

Can’t wait to become president so I can enact 666% tariffs on Fox News

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

My goal has been to make Illinois the best state to raise a family — that starts with kids having access to what they need so they can focus on learning and growing.   Illinois was among the first states to implement SUN Bucks, and this year is no exception.

Educated folks are less likely to for vote for Republicans, so Republicans defund education...

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

. . . NEW NEVER-TRUMPERS GRADUATION . .

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

Our democracy is broken. Get Dark Money out of politics and protect the freedom to vote to make it work for everyone.

I just want to say this week has seen a huge acceleration in fascism. Please PLEASE tell @raskin.house.gov and @beyer.house.gov to impeach asap. They think the midterms will save them. They’re wrong. @maydaymovementusa.bsky.social

. . THE PEOPLE will, of course, be RETICENT TO EXPRESS THEIR WILLINGNESS TODO WHAT NEEDS to be DONE in WORDS EXPRESSING their DESIRE without 'legit legal blowback'. Like, 'a Militia' of #BlueCrew for obvious reasons is clearly an emergent appropriate, LEGITIMATE DEFENSE. What I See,

The ROSENBERGS
