Now that the baby has been put to bed the grownups can get down to business.

The only time the good guys are wearing the masks is during a pandemic.

We're at the stage where we are desensitized to being desensitized.

Who had it on their doomsday bingo card that Amy Comey Barrett would be the difference between Democracy and Dictator? Mad respect, truly.

"Bluesky is dead." Meanwhile, on Bluesky...

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

That was the foremost thought in my head. Where are the military bands?! Why are these people so clueless? I mean,dear God, planners, do a Google search, watch some videos. A military parade is nothing without the beating drums.

I've got my hands full debunking false posts on FB; has anyone seen any figures on how many other countries joined in the US protests?

It's hard to wrap my head around the words "serious fighter" when the things they "fight" for are so mean, ugly, and destructive. If those are your goals, then yep, he's seriously fighting.

No word yet on the construction workers rounded up at Home Depot? Or the daycare workers? The restaurant workers?

Dystopian.

Nine years ago today, 49 lives were taken in a horrific attack against Orlando’s Latino and LGBTQ+ communities. Today we remember the victims of the pulse nightclub shooting and resolve to keep fighting for a future where all Americans are free from the threat of gun violence.

Yes. I do believe that Trump is fed an alternate reality.

Everyone who fought for the Confederacy was willing to put their life on the line to preserve the "way of life" where white people could own black people.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Keep standing, everyone everywhere all at once.

posted this last July. couldn’t believe i was seeing people cheering for this and waving signs in the air. these people are fucking sick.

It's worth reposting every time I see it.

Absolutely.

The courts are holding the line more than I dared dream they would. This is not a small thing in these times.

I need inspiration. What are you all wearing and putting on your sign for No Kings Day protests on June 14th?

What is the cost of sending National Guard and active duty Marines to Los Angeles, where they are not needed? What is this political theater costing taxpayers? Talk about WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.

So, Lyft?

ICE targets immigrants. RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable. The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”. Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

This is sort of what happened with DOGE. They were convinced there was a mountain of easily-detectable waste and fraud that a handful of folks equipped with "common sense" could root out & eliminate in a manner of weeks. And there wasn't. But they had promised headlines about big cuts...

This is disturbing video of a team of mounted LAPD officers trampling a protester with their ~1500 lb horses while beating him with long batons. Trampled for exercising their Constitutional rights while protecting others' rights. Contact your Rep & Senators and demand investigations & action now.

Even with Trump as president, my blood pressure feels half what it was when I was on twitter.

If you’ve never seen this, PROPUBLICA released a real-time timeline of every user of the app PARLER that MAGA used to livestream their experiences on Jan 6, 2021. You get on-the-ground livestreams all day from Trump’s speech to inside the Capitol attack. projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...

I mean . . . what?! We live in the weirdest times.

Ok this gives the alt captain America in the captain falcon show a different weight

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Man oh man, I really hope everyone shows up on the 14th dressed as Luke Skywalker and the resistance. Someone tell @markhamillofficial.bsky.social to spread the idea.

Best idea ever.

Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones, a former Under Secretary of the Air Force under Joe Biden, won the mayoral race in San Antonio on Saturday. She beat Republican Rolando Pablos, a former secretary of state who ran with support from Governor Greg Abbott.
