The license plate thing is actually something I’d been having questions about (were they using government plate, for example). Knowing that there’s actually none at all makes it much worse.

To those who value a healthy ecosystem and believe public lands should not be exploited for profit but just couldn’t get motivated to support the intelligent black lady, this is on you… 🤬 #ProudBlue #KeepPublicLandsPublic

NEW -- What happens when the top officials in an administration who had to prove their loyalty by spreading the president's Big, Ridiculous Lie about the 2020 election contemplate entering a new Mideast war? We have a government of unreliable narrators. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Seems Trump was big mad at Tulsi last week for posting that cryptic video warning about nuclear war, and took it as her sending him a message advising him to not back Israel in the war against Iran. It's made him more seriously consider nixing her office altogether. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

What can you do today? Make safety plans. Because this regime has taken away every avenue you used to have to protect yourself and your family, and even added a few more like ICE agents in masks randomly arresting people, just to keep it interesting.

Just pure unadulterated racism on Fox:

Israeli forces kill 51 Palestinians waiting for flour at Gaza aid site, witnesses and rescuers say

Utah Senator Mike Lee is facing major backlash for his reaction to the shootings in Minnesota.

We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him. It is time we all have the courage to peacefully stand up and say enough!

How can Dr. Freud possibly figure out this one

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social Welcome to Bluesky! We just released an ad that we think you'll love.

Farm owner tells Fox News that even his employees with documentation are afraid to come to work because of how aggressive and indiscriminate ICE is being.

This is our country on jackbooted brownshirt thuggery. They’re kidnapping people off our streets, without cause or credentials. It’s domestic terrorism, and it’s RIGHT NOW in America. It continues until we stop them. #OnYourSide #IDissent #MAGAKidnappers

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Senate Republicans introduced a plan to sell off millions of acres of public lands, changing the Mountain West forever. Contact your Senators today and tell them to stop this bill: p2a.co/XYbmWf1?p2as...

Welch: I have no faith in him all because he acts like a guy who got a day pass from the memory wing of a nursing home. When you see him on TV, he's slurring. He's not competent. It is just terrifying when you see the chyron that says Trump is reviewing war plans.

We are not spectators to history. We are the makers of it. They want to rule by fear. We will respond with power, people, and purpose. July 17, we get into Good Trouble.

Dearest humanities friends, I’m sending up the humanities bat signal. Heard a NEH colleague that orgs aren’t submitting requests for close out costs on terminated awards—which they are entitled to!! Here’s what to do: 1/

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.
