Here he is, folks. The President of the United States selling his new men’s cologne for $199 and women’s perfume for $249.

Listen up #bluesky ... it's okay, to be different. 😀

Looks like a perfectly good future to me 🤷

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

LISTEN TO THIS SHIT: Mark Kelly didn’t name names—but he did say this: One GOP Senator said Medicaid cuts were fine because “they’ll get over it.” Another, told it would cost lives, said: “We’re all gonna die anyway.” And this party still dares to call itself pro-life.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Listen to JB tell you that r truth #USDemocracy

Alligator Ally is not an ICE detention facility. It’s a concentration camp. Let’s not mince words and call them what they are. The people there are suffering, going hungry, thirsty and dying. Women are being assaulted violently.

I'm actually quite a strong proponent that literally everybody should be getting a government handout. The whole point of "living in a society" is that survival is EASIER, not HARDER, for each and every person than living isolated on a scenic wooded hillside like we're the only ones left on Earth.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten: “American people don’t see this as a big, beautiful bill. They see it as a big, bad bill. They hate it, hate it, hate it! They think it’s awful, awful, awful!”

The world must be set free.

I am going to pause to say thank you to @SenateDems & ALL PEOPLE who have been engaged in education & activation! Thank you to those that are calling your Senators! I will do my part in the house, if we get that far! 🤞🏾

Debate over the 'Alligator Alcatraz' ICE detention center is a personal one for members of Miccosukee and Seminole tribes. The homes of Miccosukee and Seminole people, as well as their ceremonial sites, surround the detention center on three sides. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trying and failing to imagine a weaker, more pathetic response to US bullying. All hail the king and his oligarchs! www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Did Musk not realize he was just paying to keep Trump out of prison?

Kamlager-Dove: We are still going to be around when he is gone, and we’re going to have so much shit to clean up.

"It will take 20 years to recover from the Trump disaster in America, but we will recover. Trump is not a god or a king." Steve Schmidt

“Pro-life”

We're not shy about our hate of fascism and our demands that the regime must go. This day was made possible by all the veterans that showed up, @cliffcashcomedy for organizing and rallying us, and the folks at FLARE's Impeachment Action Center.

“An Iranian woman who has lived in the United States for 47 years, has no criminal record, and is married to a US citizen was detained by ICE as she gardened outside her New Orleans home.” ht: @timmiller.bsky.social www.nola.com/news/politic...

The best way to combat the enshitififcation of a product is to stop using it and find a replacement. This is an argument against Google Search (and Chrome). buttondown.com/natebowling/...

ICE released new Facial recognition & biometrics app connected to government databases to agents recently

I can tell you that NONE of my Florida neighbors are happy about this.

I am heartbroken by the news from Colorado where Karen Diamond, a victim of the vicious attack earlier this month, has passed away. May Karen’s memory be a blessing and a reminder that we must constantly work to eradicate hatred and violence.

Trump Border Czar Has Gruesome Response to Man Dying in ICE Custody newrepublic.com/post/197451/... via @newrepublic.com

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

🤥 Thune and Johnson “met with the president early Monday, with plans to convene again later in the day, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. People familiar with the Republican leaders’ schedules said those meetings didn’t take place.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Zohran Mamdani says, "I don't think we should have billionaires because frankly it is so much money in a moment of such inequality"

This bill will hurt millions of people. And Congressional Republicans know it. That’s why they’re rushing it through. If it passes, we’ll be living with the fallout for decades. Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is a disaster in the making. 📺: @lastweektonight.com

OK, so if you have a tanning bed, you get a little bit of a tax break, and if you need a hospital bed in rural America, I'm sorry, you're out of luck.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

So when the Gestapo at ICE detention facilities break laws they simply write new rules that are unconstitutional and we let it stand as is? What the fuck is going to be done about this? More sternly written letters? Is the battle already lost? 😡 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

They plan to roll back green energy investments. That will spike our utility bills while warming our planet. A double hit only the GOP could conjure.

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe. The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

Today is Day 80. Still waiting.

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

Worrying about your home address being circulated online is horrible. It's information you can't hide again, and can't really fix except for moving. It's something I've had to worry about a lot - if Seymour and co are sharing addresses of their political opponents, that's a huge and worrying leap.

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

why does competitive chess even have gendered tournaments

We need more politicians like him
