Happy Obama Appreciation Day 🇺🇸✨ On this day, we honor leadership grounded in hope, dignity, and class. President Barack Obama reminded us that intelligence, empathy, and calm strength belong in the White House. 💙🇺🇸 #HappyObamaAppreciationDay #NoKingDay

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Obama is the best of ‘em!

We’re at war with Iran, Trump’s gone into hiding, nobody will tell us our objectives, plan or end game, our Sec of Defense is a useless dipshit, our Sec of State lied about it, our DNI loves the leader of Iran’s greatest ally, & tomorrow we’re having a parade for Trump’s bday.

Houston NO KINGS

It really feels like he wants WWIII

@padilla.senate.gov: "We’re a co-equal branch of government, our job is oversight and accountability... If there's an opportunity for me to ask a question in-person at a press conference in my home state, that's me doing my job."

Now is your chance America. Sit by and watch our country be destroyed or stand up and fight. What’s your choice? I will fight. Every single day. To my dying breath. Not gonna sugar coat it. Make a stand or shut the fuck up. Well? I’m not waiting. I’m fighting.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

I recently gave my first major political speech of this campaign season to retire Lauren Boebert. Like, share, follow, pitch in if you can. LET'S GO!!

Impeach all these motherf@ckers! I AM BOILING ABOUT SENATOR ALEX PADILLA. He was tossed to the ground and arrested by the same group of DHS gestapo agents that have been whisking people away to points unknown without due process. It’s time to show the GOP our solidarity. F@CK THESE PEOPLE!

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

RFK is going to be responsible for a lot of death and suffering

It can happen here. It is happening here.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

@congresstran.bsky.social Trump’s goons are kidnapping people in your district. #CA45

I’ll take “Things the Sec Def Should Already Know” for $200, Alex

Must Read: In federalizing the California National Guard over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), Trump is asserting broad powers that could be used against any state, legal scholars and national security experts told Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Foster Children Removed for Deportation 😢

DONT TALK TO COPS. Their job is to close cases, not to find the truth. If they can pin it on you, they will. All you should say is: 1) Am I being detained? and 2) Am I free to go? nothing else. clam the fuck up.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Holy fuckin' shit. I'm a vet, tried to reschedule a doctor appointment with the VA, and next available is in 6 months. The VA, which WAS pretty good has totally gone to fuckin shit under the felon 47 administration.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

Finally CNN reports the truth!!

We feed you. They hunt us.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Oh.
