Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

What is this—Make Asbestos Great Again? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

Oh, Canada.

Good morning rebels...

The only justice in America at this point will come from the American people. You better start rising up. Big time. Civil unrest. Civil disobedience. In Big Beautiful numbers.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

😡😡😡😡

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

🚨 🚨 VIDEO Ohio politicians are at it again. Pretending that there is some crisis of non-citizens voting in Ohio (a lie), to make voting harder for countless Ohioans and current Ohio voters. Here’s a clip from my testimony earlier this week:

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

This thread is so important for folks in #Ohio and across the country. Thanks to David Pepper for giving testimony re SB153 and amplifying the testimonies against HB1/SB88. As I collect signatures for the SB1 referendum, I am often asked, "So, which insane bill is this petition about?"

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

ICE agents making arrests while masked— no warrants. This is about basic civil rights. What are our protections? Who’s accountable? Congress must act. Hold hearings—sanctioned or not. ☎️ Call your Senators and Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Senate offices are closed right now. Their inboxes aren't. Send your letters demanding Senators not cut health care or food assistance. Let's send 1,000 in the next 2 hours: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Fed Chair Powell graduation remarks to Princeton nod toward our current predicament: "Look around you. I urge you to take none of this for granted. When you look back in 50 years, you will want to know that you have done whatever it takes to preserve and strengthen our democracy."

I love that the party that's supposed to believe in freedom wants to literally control every single thing that you do even when it comes to getting a vaccine that they don't believe in.

It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert

Hard not to agree with this

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

Just utter lawlessness from the Trump Administration, with no goal other than to punish institutions for refusing to bend the knee. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Rebellions are built on hope.

More than 150 Ohio farms were recently supplying the state’s food pantries with fresh produce, meat, and dairy. President Donald Trump's USDA has put an end to that program, devastating both small family farmers and the effort to feed hungry Ohioans.

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?
