A cartoon by Pat Bagley

I’ll take a progressive socialist over a Christian nationalist any day of the week.

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

Distraction not accomplished. We still called out ICE and the ugly bill. We still protested and spoke out on domestic events as we spoke out against the attack on Iran. Unlike some, most of us can focus on more than one thing in a day.

Dear Bloomberg, CNN, etc, there …was…no…truce! Stop it!!!!!!!

There was no ceasefire. Once again the president lied. He and his regime continually lie to Congress, to the courts, to people of the US, and the world. They all should be impeached, expelled and face criminal charges.

Or in Gaza

If love is the threat, maybe it’s the system that needs disarming.💜

Of the three branches of government, the executive branch has the least power. This was done on purpose. Now the legislative branch has abdicated. The judicial branch is ignored (at best). Two insane toddlers play toy soldier to the detriment of all.

Do those wanting to cut care to millions, illegally arrest millions, cut aid to those losing homes to natural disasters, applaud the destruction of war really want Jesus to return???? Read Matthew 25.

And what allies?

What?!!!!

Trump obviously learned diplomacy from listening to Dr Demento. “We come in peace, shoot to kill.” youtu.be/la6VSh_TxoU?...

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

Holy shit.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

They hide their faces now. They will try to hide their history later.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress could put a stop to this at any time.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Happy Juneteenth

Republicans are attempting to ram through a provision to sell millions in acres in CA, including land around Yosemite, Mt. Shasta, Lake Tahoe & Big Sur, as part of their big ugly bill. Our federal public treasures shouldn't be sold off to the highest bidder. I will fight this, tooth & nail.

I dunno. 30 years studying Scripture. Advanced degrees. Somehow I missed where the Bible says we can bring about Christ’s return by destroying Iran …

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

This is Trump's America.

Someone show me where Congress passed a law requiring people to carry identification papers at all times.

Cartoonist: Jonathan Brown

So now we can be arrested for 1) not carrying identification and 2) asking for identification.

The US has one political party that tiptoes on eggshells attempting not to offend anyone while the other blatantly lies while calling everyone who doesn't believe their propaganda a slur. If the Democratic party doesn't grow a spine and start going low, we are doomed.

Okay we hit the 3.5% sweet spot on Saturday. Now what? Gotta keep the momentum going.

So the taco is going to halt raids on farms? But aren’t those the jobs the white men wanted so badly???? 🤔

Today’s GOP: makes light of the assassination of two political leaders while calling in the marines because ICE got spat on. Y’all need to rethink your priorities, buy back your souls and grow your hearts three sizes.

Mike Lee 👇

Alex Padilla, who was roughed up by Trump's goons while simply trying to ask a question at a public press conference, nails it 👇 Tell Congress, a co-equal branch of government, to speak out and oppose Trump's fascist use of the National Guard here: bit.ly/449vUkP #ResistTrump

Mike Lee is fecal. For his written thoughts on the horror in Minnesota alone, any healthy republic would immediately expel him from its national legislature. That's all. That's the tweet.

Yesterday’s demonstrations across the nation in favor of democracy and against Trump’s dictatorship revealed the power of the people. Millions reasserted the “We” in “We the people.” Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-5b2

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

I’m proud of the Twin Cities for showing up today. I’m proud of all who stood up despite the threats of government-sanctioned threats of violence and arrests. We made a stand.
