Seriously concerned about Social Justice. This must include Ecological Justice -we need a planet we can all live on. I believe as Justice Brandeis did, that we can have great wealth in the hands of a few or we can have democracy. I want democracy!

The Republican plan would raise healthcare costs for working families while cutting taxes for the ultra-wealthy. This is not just a budget bill, it's a heartless attempt to take away from those who need it most. Call your members of Congress and raise hell. (202) 224-3121.

De Niro, 81, was receiving the Palme d’Or lifetime achievement award at the event in the south of France on Tuesday when he called Trump a “philistine president.” “In my country, we are fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted,”

We've all seen the video of Rep. McIver at the ICE facility—it's absurd to charge a member of Congress for doing her job What normal administration does this? Trump's DOJ does not represent the rule of law—I discussed @theweeknightmsnbc.bsky.social

We are not the Gestapo* * We do, however, arrest people who are here legally, without a warrant, while concealing our own identity, and send them to concentration camps without due process and against court orders.

Regulations aren’t red tape—they’re life-saving protections. 🧪💧 Without strong safeguards, dangerous chemicals can end up in our water, our food, and our medicine. And in rural states, where clean water and public health systems are already stretched thin, the consequences hit even harder.

BREAKING: The TRUMP DOJ has just charged Rep. LaMonica McIver-the woman in red --for "assaulting" LEOs at a NJ ICE facility. McIver is the first federal official targeted by the Trump regime as they aggressively pursue prosecutions of politicians who oppose Trump deportation policies.

Kamala was right...Hillary was right....ANITA HILL WAS FRIGGIN RIGHT..........

These people are the worst of the worst.

Voters were more likely to approve of President Trump’s performance if they had not been following some of the major news stories of his first 100 days in office, a recent New York Times/Siena College poll found.

This should be bigger news, no? www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

If only these two would get what they deserve.

America first is AMERICA ALONE.........🤔

In a very typical Republican move, the House Budget Panel voted overnight to pass the budget bill. Say goodbye to your Medicaid and SNAP, because the bill they pushed through cuts even more than what they shot down to begin with. It now goes to the House floor.

Congress is moving key legislation via the budget process, including possible Medicaid cuts. But much of the media frames it as “Trump’s agenda” or his “big, beautiful bill.” A new analysis explores how Democrats and Republicans have been handing over power to the executive branch:

Since Donald Trump is freaking out about Bruce Springsteen calling this the most corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration, it would be a shame if this video was shared even more widely...

Make it make sense....

Today in Brussels Playbook, we have a classic election special with not one, not two, but three countries all reporting national poll results. Nicholas Vinocur unpacks how it all went down 👇 ow.ly/VIJR50VUKlk

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16. Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity. 202-224-3121.

First Canada, then Australia, and now Romania. In all three, right-wing more Trump-aligned candidates were poised to win elections, and in all three, voters repelled by Trump sent those candidates to resounding defeats. The world is rebelling against Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/w...

The evil mastermind behind Project 25 and all the destruction we are witnessing.

If you read 1 article this week, make it this one! Then share it with everyone you know. Our National Parks aren't just gorgeous, they protect against catastrophes like the dust bowl & generate more than $55bn in revenue. Trump wants to slash its budget by 40% www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

With Europe about to unleash a flood of money into its defense sector, reversing decades of underinvestment, hopes are high that the continent’s dismal productivity record could tap into military ingenuity to turn things around.

#BlueSkyVets Stephen Miller's assertion that due process doesn't apply to immigrants, particularly immigrants that may be here without status," was woefully refuted in 7-2 vote by SCOTUS. "The Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law". #StandDown #ProudBlueVets #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

What foreign countries will buy our debt? We have never been more vulnerable and at risk. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Incredibly true! Thank you at @petebuttigieg.bsky.social for these wise words.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited I really do admire this Pope! He nailed DJT without even mentioning his vile name. Wonder if he has posted an all caps reply on Lies Social yet!

I make a point of not sharing it otherwise amplifying anything from this despicable person. But I’m making an exception to highlight his utter immorality and indecency.
