#TrumpsGulag

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

Isn't gorka similar to santorum? I think it is the same substance but spewing from a different orifice.

Holy shit. This is the funniest political ad I’ve ever seen. The Republican House Caucus wants it taken down. You know what to do.

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers. Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla. The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

Protest sign quandary: try to be funny or just express my overwhelming anger? Trump disappearing anyone is horrible but now he wants to disaappear "home grown' citizens. I don't know how I can be funny about any of this.

An Egyptian friend - a U.S. citizen for decades declined to go with me to any of the 50501 rallies. He said he might be targeted to be deported, or worse. I kept telling him he was being paranoid... Until today. POTUS saying he would deport U.S. citizens is flat out fascist. My friend may be right.

Interesting read

Low-income workers who are covered by Medicaid are generally in jobs that don't provide health benefits. Without Medicaid, they'd be uninsured.

Whenever I go out anywhere except work I wear a tee shirt and usually a baseball hat and sometimes oversized pins that all identify me as a progressive Democrat. A lot of people make positive comments. I encourage them to go to rallies, call their representative. ANYTHING BUT STAYING SILENT.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Many people don't know that #birdflu is found in more than just birds. Use the search engine on the website to find which mammals have been affected in your area. If you find a dead animal outside, make sure to protect yourself by wearing gloves and an N95. #H5N1 www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-po...

@godlessprimate.bsky.social nice starter pack! Always good to find more 💙's to connect with!

So. Fucking. True.

This is my biggest takeaway from Star Trek! It's not the space battles, the technology, or even the sci-fi themed stories... it's the thought that without embracing our own diversity, we would never be able to venture out and discover any of those new worlds! 🖖

share.newsbreak.com/cl9crt3z?s=i4 “It’s the source of that data that the whole world uses, which is why, if it’s inaccurate, it has such devastating impacts on people,” he told the Post . “Overnight, you literally become financially paralyzed.” No administration should be able to do this. 💙✊💙✌️💙

“I choose courage.” Thank you @cohen489.bsky.social

In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Mississippi.

I always thought the name of this group was a bit over the top hurtful. Until RFK Jr. took over HHS. Now I wish the name applied to one more. I did always like the song though. I need to play it loud for the MAGA freaks when I'm out and about. I love finding ways to antagonize them.

What makes this so funny is that the man with sign looks to be an unassuming, respectable, senior citizen who is demonstrating an innocent contraption.

Very emotional moment waiting on checkout line this afternoon at the supermarket. Heard foreign accent spoken behind me by mother speaking to her adult daughter. I said I like your accent where are you from? They said Ukraine. I said I am so happy you are here. I hugged them both.

Who is the gestapo agent stupid enough to show his face in this clip? He needs to be relentlessly publicly shamed. Followed around by people with big speakers on their cars screaming "racist MAGA Pig".

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues He is Andry Hernández Romero. God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH. We care

#StandStrongBrevard 📢📢 Brevard County, FL!! We need everyone to come and stand with us to defend our democracy! The last event was amazing, uplifting, and full of positivity. I understand we have more volunteers, parking attendants and more details to come. Please consider joining. Grab a friend.

I've got several people to the 50501 rallies but there is one Progressive friend who is refusing to go. He hangs out with a group of friends that have all turned MAGA. he refuses to admit they are bullying him into inaction. Westchester Putnam NY area. We need a group here like "Drinking Liberally".

Lt. Col. Harry Tull, a Tuskegee Airman, was on my father's RB47H crew. He was elected to the 55th SRW Hall of Fame in 1999, Nebraska Aviation Hall of Fame 2003, & received the Congressional Gold Medal 2007. May 1949 the Tuskegee Airmen were the first USAF Top Gun Pilots 332nd Fighter Group.
