This is also an ATTEMPTED major distraction from a failed bill that will affect MILLIONS on Medicaid and Medicare....🤔

What Terry Moran said shouldn’t be controversial. It's precisely the context missing from so much network news and corporate media reporting: The motive. And that motive is hatred. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/bre...

Are you listening @repbeatty.bsky.social

What about when your supporters desecrate it by putting your face on the American flag and flying it at your rallies? bsky.app/profile/atru...

So Columbia capitulated, rather than fight Trump, and in response the admin is saying it wants to pull Columbia's accreditation. Maybe capitulating doesn't work and the bullies will always demand more?

He. 100%. Wants. A. Civil. War. If you do not understand this yet, there is nothing any social media feed can offer you.

“We came to the United States for protection because of what we encountered in Russia,” he said. “It seems that we are encountering here what we fled.” -- Russian asylum seeker who was detained and, he says, beaten by ICE agents. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

I disagree: DOGE accomplished its intention of an aggressive land grab of all Americans' personal data. The "waste, fraud & abuse" talk was a purposeful distraction from their real goa. which was successful.. https://bsky.app/profile/rcharanpagan.bsky.social/post/3lr6iytevpk2h

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Shows what absolute disrespect he has for the troops!

Another reminder of how it looked until it didn't.

A terrifying truth.

Sad to hear this: This was one of the very first 45's I ever bought, and just loved it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOa5... www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

So, during the greatest terrorist attack in American history, 9/11, the National Guard was never called, but Trump called them on people trying to protect the rights and dignity of their fellow human beings through protest? How does that circle square up for you?🤨 It doesn’t for me. FFS!🤦🏼‍♀️ 🤬

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

Every accusation is a confession.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

Nothin but the facts

My message to the people of California. Trump is threatening to use the marines against the American people. He is a despot. Californians -be strong. You are the front line in the fight for democracy. The free world stands with you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu20...

Some Republicans have drawn parallels between President Trump’s dispatching of National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Saturday and what happened in 1992, when soldiers and Marines were sent to the Los Angeles area to restore order after the Rodney King riots. But that was a far different situation.

The presidential memorandum never mentions Los Angeles or California. It’s a blank check for mobilizing National Guard and active duty troops to deploy anywhere to protect federal personnel or functions wherever protests “are occurring or are likely to occur.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Where were you when Donald Trump almost face-planted while climbing the steps of Air Force One? That’s a question your grandkids will ask, as we all know—citing 2024 candidate Trump, here, for the premise—that tripping on *any* kind of steps is the final confirmation of dementia

Look at this. Representative Rob Bresnahan said he would ban stock trading when he got into Congress in January. Since then, he's traded 530 times.

My undergraduate minor was in the history of science, so I'm long familiar with Social Darwinism. Like the fact that Charles Darwin never said "survival of the fittest." He decried that oversimplified & distorted version of his ideas, coined by a Spcial Darwinist. Good primer:

Fabulous essay - “Simply put, Israel exists as it does today because of the repeated choices made by societies to reject their Jews.” Many of my liberal friends have yet to understand this
