America first turned into America isolated. #3E

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Deeeeem. Someone run to CVS…47 needs some aloe for this burn #NoKings

Remember, Kids, it's only called "Class Warfare," when the poor fight back.

Donald Trump claims to be the world's peacemaker, yet Ukraine faces record attacks and Gaza's ceasefire crumbles. Bold promises clash with brutal reality. Lasting peace demands more than quick deals; it requires grit and patience. #3E

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Give 👏 no 👏 quarter 👏 to 👏 fascists! Well done @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

1) HUGE CONGRATS to you both and wishes for a life full of happiness and prosperity! 2) LOL’d at your Bluesky account name! A+, well done!

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

“His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the [US] Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

LA port is likely one of the reasons it is the testing ground and first location for domestic fed troop deployment.

I was not prepared for this post after reading through updates on LA - I needed the laugh, even if it nearly caused my computer to moonlight as a coffee cup. 🤣🤣🤣

This is the only way to get unbiased advice, obviously.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

RFK Jr. has just removed every member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). These members review vaccine data and make approval recommendations. This is completely horrifying and will likely delay vaccine approvals. RFK Jr. must be removed from office IMMEDIATELY.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

People are NOT understanding the gravity of what's going down right now. Normalcy bias is a hell of a drug.

Fascists want to provoke violence so they can justify crackdowns and get some good footage to distort for state propaganda outlets

Annnnnnnd favorite…uhh skeet? Blueskee? What do we call these things? Either way A+ 🤣🤣🤣

And ppl wonder why folks in the #privacy community seem to have thinning hair. Legitimately terrifying just what information has been collected on US citizens and how much damage can be caused by poor handling and lax regulations.

🤣🤣🤣 #Reading is FUN👏DA👏MEN👏TAL.

Can’t tell me Musk didn’t see this coming. Someone check on your TSLA to the moon friend…the market isn’t going to love this.

It feels as though I leave Lutnick interviews with fewer brain cell…What an example of the geniuses running/guiding the 47 admin. 😖 S/o to @davidpakman.bsky.social for this clip.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
