Mike Johnson somehow combines all the worst traits of Waylon Smithers and Ned Flanders.

I stand with California! Get the troops out of there! 💙🙏

Shut down the Senate.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

Apparently you haven’t heard about my new organization … we specialize in F bombs. www.fafopac.org

Call your senators, demand they shut the Senate down.

Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? ... There would be no oppressed had there been no prior of violence to establish their subjugation. - Paulo Freire

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

Fucking fascists.

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

Why do people keep saying Black people will be ‘next,’ when WE never stopped being targeted. Black people already experience whatever abuse this country heaps on other marginalized groups. This may be your first time witnessing it or experiencing it firsthand, but not ours.

World Cup and Olympics cannot be held in the US.

Being well read pays off 😆 #history #fiction #sffbooks #booksky #funny

Cuomo already sounds defeated by Trump's authoritarianism. I will stand up for our city of immigrants because I'm not funded by the very same MAGA billionaires who put Trump back in the White House.

Stand tall Governor Newsom; this is your moment. We have your back.

Love this!

If elected Democrats don’t stand with the people of California, then they shouldn’t expect the people of California to stand with them.

Something the Democratic Party is NOT doing right now, which it MUST DO, Is run ads on EVERY MEDIA PLATFORM KNOWN UNDER SUN, about the unconstitutionality of using troops on domestic soil. STOP ASSUMING people learned the Constitution in school. THEY DID NOT! You cannot

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

Add 3 seats to the SCOTUS first!

Yup.

Oh fuck. They are saying the quiet part out here loud and proud.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Good for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social. He is free now and his legacy is secure. He will be remembered for speaking out and not bending the knee. Also he will make more money now and have a bigger platform and influence. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/b...
