Sorry, where’s the lie?

We don’t serve a king. He can’t do whatever he wants.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

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

I just gonna go ahead and say that putting active duty United States Marines on the streets of an American city is, in fact, heavy handed.

How now-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem felt about a president potentially federalizing the National Guard one year ago:

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

Chris Murphy just told Cory Booker that on one social media platform alone, he has had over 150 million clicks on his livestream filibuster.

The SAVE is built on LIES and will result in the disenfranchisement of MILLIONS of married or divorced women, Native Americans, trans voters, veterans, people of color, low-income workers...In short, ALL of us. It MUST be stopped! 🛑 #HandsOffHerVote

So, the guy who was gonna end all wars has bombed Yemen, threatened to bomb Iran, and threatened to invade Greenland. Did I get that right?

Give me it. ❤️

Welcome to America, where the people taking abortion rights away from poor pregnant women have advanced to taking food away from poor actual babies.

Don't let the distractions obscure the truth! While we're debating Trump's EO, remember: Republicans are quietly trying to advance the SAVE Act, which would strip away the voting rights of millions of Americans, disproportionately affecting women and people of color. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

REPORTER: Would you direct agencies to study the impact tariffs would have on prices in the US? TRUMP: No. There's nothing to study. It's gonna go well.

“If the current admin continues to defy court orders, will you commit to call for articles of impeachment,” read one question. “I just think we need to watch the process play out,” Rep. Celeste Maloy responded “He’s breaking the law now!” an attendee cried. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Great piece by @benrhodes.bsky.social about how Democrats can stop Trump. Key words from Slovenian activist Nika Kovac: "“The thing that is making him powerful now is he’s thinking that nothing can stop him,” Ms. Kovac said. “You need one victory.” " How to get that victory? 1/7

😳 Where the hell are we?! A French scientist was denied entry to the US on March 9th after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had ‘expressed criticism of the Trump administrations’ research policies’. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Injustice x 1000 Ohio Republicans claim $600 million for public education is "unsustainable," but they have no problem handing that same amount to billionaire team owners for a new stadium. Priorities? Not our kids. #EduSky

Nah. This headline is not accurate. Zelenskyy is excluded. The call this morning with Trump and Putin is really about stealing assets from Ukraine. Russia won’t have to give up a damn thing!

Starship is “not trying to revolutionise the space industry; if it were, its concept, design, and testing plan would be totally different. Instead, the entire project is optimised to fleece as much money from the US taxpayer as possible, and as such, that is all it will ever do.”

This is worth watching again This is how it's done. Thank you, Congressman John Larson, representing CT01. Now, in his thirteenth term. On the House Ways & Means Committee and the Social Security Subcommittee .

What happens when you elect a traitor and his Russian asset to the White House, a known Russian propagandist and Putin apologist to be Director of National Intelligence. No US citizen abroad is safe, especially not our servicemen and women…

Biggest Federal Employee Unions Says Shutdown is Preferable to Elon/Trump CR talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bigge...

US judge to extend block on Trump administration ordering mass firings. A California federal judge on Thursday said he would grant "additional relief" in a challenge to the Trump administration's mass firings. #MomSky www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

She advanced DEI at her university. Her son-in-law, Vice President JD Vance, wants to end it nationwide. bit.ly/3DqZtnL

Pittsburgh Steelworkers union leaders are already upset with Trump for vowing to block the US Steel-Nippon deal. Won't it be great when Trump's 25% steel tariffs increase production costs, leading to job loss in the steel industry? #ProudBlue #TrumpTariffs #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

This is how you shut down MAGA! WATCH: Congresswoman Strickland coming in HOT with the facts 🔥 #RepublicanCutsHurtVeterans

"The fear is very serious, and it is in every sphere...this is...authoritarianism. We are already in the midst of it, and it’s very terrifying. Everybody should be paying attention."

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

As the Stock Market crashes and wears all red in his honor, here's Trump’s post from August 5, 2024: “STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR III, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT "LEADERS" IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!” Dip shit Trump says what?

DOGE just sacked half of @usedgov’s workforce, including lawyers defending students with disabilities. If these chainsaw massacres are so popular, why don’t they bring them to Congress first? How many cases do they have to lose?

"The SAVE Act does not include proof of name change or a marriage certificate as acceptable proof of identity. This could be vital for married women with a birth certificate that does not match their current legal name" www.newsweek.com/save-act-rai...

Piece about the Musk/DOGE take over of the Social Security amin. They demanded and got access to all your Social Security info and then left it exposed to others. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

FACTS👇🏾👇🏾

The president, who last week told Congress he had "stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America," said today that the government had arrested a student because of his disfavored opinions. "This is the first arrest of many to come," he said.

Don't be conned. The "period of transition" Trump speaks of is merely the psychotic shitstain taking the Biden economy — which was the "envy of the world" — into stagflation and recession, allowing billionaires to plunder and pillage businesses that go bankrupt. 1/2

Trump is banning the words female, females & women from the federal vernacular but not male, males or men 🤦🏻‍♂️ And words like "tribal" which is certainly gonna effect things at the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Look at his list. WTAF?!

After a week of infighting, flip-flopping and crashing stock market, America sees MAGA awakening to the biggest betrayal in our history! What did y’all think a convicted felon, rapist and Russian loyalist would do? Resist, refuse, ridicule! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

This EO targets yet another private law firm & is Exh. A of Trump’s retribution. But it’s also a shot across the bow at large law firms that have what Trump calls “unlawful D.E.I. practices.” And it unlawfully interferes with this firm’s business. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Zelensky’s approval rating jumps 10 points after Trump attacks Poll after Oval Office stand-off puts support for president among Ukrainians at 67% 👏 www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

OUTSTANDING AND HAPPY NEWS! The Supreme Court has ordered USAID must be paid- The starving will finally eat. The fact that we even have to fight to feed the hungry and treat the sick tells you everything you need to know about this moment in time. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...
