Just sitting here thinking of how great things were going in this country and the world, on the whole, with Obama’s presidency. The far right have blacklashed us into WW3. Wonderful.

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding. They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR. Let me be real clear: What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

In the US, kids are taught Union vs Confederates, not US vs traitors. We’ve normalized evil and then wonder why adults have a difficult time picking up on it.

Remember this

As @eltragon.bsky.social goes around the city speaking with business owners and seeing more owners choosing to close, he’s seeing the economic impact of these ICE raids on the horizon. ~ reporting for @lataco

Yes he’s a dictator. No he doesn’t have to remove elections to prove that. He just hasn’t done it yet.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

"Convincing a jury of 12 NJ citizens, most likely the congresswoman’s own constituents, that she assaulted an ICE officer and made him fear for his safety beyond a reasonable doubt, is another matter. McIver will also have a powerful defense in the Speech or Debate Clause." — @lizdye.bsky.social

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

Seems relevant.

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

You can riot for Trump and get a pardon. But if you protest ICE? Josh Hawley wants your travel receipts. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

"woke" apparently just means that you're an egalitarian. which yeah, if you are against an equal distribution of resources and status and believe in natural hierarchies and domination by the strong, you're a conservative! congrats!

It’s all been a distraction people! Following through on DOGE cuts House voted 214-212 to cut $9.4 billion in spending targeting foreign aid programs PBS Public Broadcasting NPR & thousands of public radio & television stations around the country. Look at the glee on their faces!

2026, if all goes according to the plan.

🤦🏼‍♀️

Remember when we told people that not voting for MVP Harris would be disastrous and they told us we were being hysterical, then they didn’t and now we have to tell them not to throw barricades at federal officers bc that’s going to be disastrous?

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

Exactly. This.

What the frick is wrong with 38% of us?

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Trump appoints Rep. Billy Long—an ex-auctioneer who tried to abolish the IRS—to run the IRS. Makes sense, right? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

One big, happy family. #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s...

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

there was one vote, it was for trump, and he is king of america now and you will obey

"To Mr. Cuomo, I've never had to resign in disgrace. I've never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records." - Zohran just now.
