AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

What a dick!

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

When the jump-off goes wrong.

Yes.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

Back in April, the Trump Admin gave states a choice: comply with ICE, or lose funding for roads, bridges and public transit. That ultimatum is completely illegal, a federal judge just ruled:

Former President Barack Obama issued a warning about the future of American democracy, while speaking at an event in Connecticut. Obama cautioned that the country is “dangerously close” to normalizing behavior “consistent with autocracies.”

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100. Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC. This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.

Hard to argue with that.

This is how it's done.

The top .05% evade $120B in taxes, and employers steal $50B in wages from workers — each year. All other property theft totals $14B per year, with immigrants responsible for only a tiny fraction of that. CEOs & billionaires will always be a bigger threat to you than immigrants.

every day i think they can’t get any worse. every day i’m wrong.

Not too shabby. Now we build on it. www.thedailybeast.com/data-guru-g-...

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Exactly!

F*ck kings. This is America.

It's way past time we impeach the lying sack of shit?

I keep saying this!!!

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Newsom: Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Over 10,000 protesters marched peacefully through Downtown Los Angeles for a third straight day, their voices rising against ICE raids tearing families apart. In silence, they filled the freeway—an ocean of defiance and unity. No violence, just courage. This is what resistance looks like. 💪🔥✊🏽🕊️📣🇺🇸

There are many evergreen social media posts of the Trump II era, but my personal nomination is this from @brendannyhan.bsky.social captures the multidimensional degeneracy of our times:

Trump is turning the U.S. into a cruel nightmare state and pariah. Who are we? Who are the officers willing to “just follow orders” and do this?
