Netanyahu is the Jewish Putin..

Remember when the far right feared being implanted with chips and having their movements and purchases tracked by the government? Good times.

is anyone else just really depressed about all this shit? ugh

On balance, I was more comfortable with Fox employees lying about wars than running them.

Russia carried out a terrorist attack against a civilian train in Dnipro filled with hundreds of elders, women and children. The train was targeted with a ballistic missile. #StandWithUkraine

The costs of restricting abortion? More than $130 billion per year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... via @MotherJones

#RFKJr is destroying American biomedical research and public health. Every word out of his mouth including “and” and “the” is a lie. #truthmatters

Not to rain on everyone’s ceasefire-not-ceasefire parade, but that wrecking ball of a big dumb bill is still working its way through the Senate and still launching an assault on women, wages, benefits, and the entire working class

So we're all in hell?

Knew there was a reason today’s vibes are so rancid

He's just a really dumb asshole. This fucking ding dong is the goddamn president.

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime

I just watched the Surviving Ohio State doc on HBO. Devastating and damning. I say this not as a Michigan fan, but as a human being. And as bad as you think Jim Jordan is, he’s worse.

People keep saying “Trump doesn’t understand” when it’s really “Trump doesn’t care.” He cares about money, power, and immunity from prosecution. That’s it. He’s not confused; he doesn’t care about the day to day of POTUS duties. Plutocrats and mobsters are VERY interested in doing that job for him.

Dear people of #georgia America is still with you. The Georgian Dream is a nightmare and the govt is going down.

Can't wait for Jake Tapper's deep reporting on how a decrepit old president completely hallucinated a ceasefire.

That he thinks he can control another country's military from his phone's social media app is deranged.

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Touché.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Me ASF currently: #NintendoSwitch2

Anyone still want to argue that John Roberts isn’t the worst Chief Justice in SCOTUS history?

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

You can’t make this shit up. newrepublic.com/post/197119/...

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

We could be about to get another exciting lesson in the importance of global supply chains

♀️♀️ Time travel with me a half century to the 1970s, to the world of second-wave feminism and the publication of "Our Bodies, Ourselves." One of its authors, Norma Swenson, died last month at 93. She recalled being criticized by feminists around 1970...+ 🎁 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/b... 1/3

100% of Black people self censor at work. Its a job site not your personal safe space, snowflake.

So I said to Steve I says, "shame on a nigga who tries to run game on a nigga" in the middle of the coffee break room and well, one of *whispers* them heard me, so I called her sugar tits, grabbed some cream and yelled "dolla dolla bills, y'all" as I walked back to my cubicle. What's the big deal

A Trump regime ICE trooper pulled a gun and threaten to kill US civilians in a car as he crossed the street. Meanwhile other regime thugs pepper sprayed and attacked civilians, during an ethnic cleansing operation, at Home Depot in Santa Ana, California. #StopICE

Men spend a lot of their lives scaring themselves so that they can feel important, feel heroic, or feel like victims so they don’t have to care about the people society really victimizes. Or, more darkly, to justify cruelty. This cowardice is contemptible, we should not take it at face value.

Reminder again: this is the 22 year old boy Trump put in charge of preventing a terror attack at home:

Trump regime ICE troopers attacked an elderly woman (legal resident) selling tamales, they manhandled her so violently that she fainted, then threw her on the ground and stripped her, she had to be hospitalized. She received medical help after US citizens intervened. #StopICE

You know, Iran is going to feel mighty silly when they realize that they could have avoided war with the United States by just giving Donald a $400 million plane—or, an even better bribe, a $1.5 billion golf course. www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/t...

To be clear, Netanyahu isn’t a leader, he’s a criminal as well as the dictator of Israel and he’s been waiting decades for a useful idiot like the orange felon to help him with his plans.
