#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue If it weren’t so tragic… No, never mind, that’s all I got.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

“I'm oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real.” If you’re anxious about using your voice, then you’re probably in the wrong party, Lisa. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski and others need to grow a spine and stand up for right from wrong.

This is what I’ve been talking about - a lot of the GOP disagrees vehemently with what Trump is doing. They’re just too scared to do anything about it. Bunch of damn cowards.

Ed Martin’s appearances on Russian state television should end his nomination to be a U.S. attorney. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Former chair of the Tennessee Libertarian Party 👇🏽

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

Black Americans make up 13% of the population. But as federal government employees, Black employees are: 20% of the Dept. of Health & Human Services 24% of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs 26% of postal workers, 30% of the Dept. of Education That's the "swamp" Trump is draining.

What’s the opposite of “honeymoon”?

Reporters need to stop showing up at the White House.

There was a 32% drop in the number cars crossing into the U.S from Canada in March of this year compared to March of 2024. Forbes said that a decline of 30% in Canadian visitors would cost the U.S. economy $6 billion in losses...

Sanders: Our conservative friends say, “We support the Constitution.” Well, if you support the Constitution, you don’t throw people into detention centers in El Salvador.

Texas legilature and Abbott's vouchers. Heartbreaking for Public Schools if it passes. No referendum because it wouldn't pass with a public vote! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjN2UJWT/

RFK Jr. paints autism in a apocalyptic colors. As an #ActuallyAutistic journalist who has spent the last decade writing about autism, I had to confront him about it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

ICE targeting elementary school children is child abuse, period.

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today? And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

A physician in Texas saw patients and offered quack treatments while he himself was sick from measles. This is completely unethical.

NEW: China is switching from American to Canadian oil. Chinese purchases of American oil are down **90%** year on year. Purchases of oil from Canada are up +700%. That equates to a $20 BILLION annual loss for the United States, at current oil prices. Tired of winning yet?

BREAKING: House Democrats Will go to El Salvador to Keep Pressure on and Meet Abrego Garcia open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

The only thing missing from the reporting is what Trump said to the heads of these law firms: "Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me."

Shit is gonna hit the fan in 3…2…1…Chris Van Hollen denied access to El Salvador Prison 👇👇👇

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I’m sorry… what?

Goldman on Trump threatening to deport Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "This is the stuff of dictators ... Republicans in Congress have completely acceded to his wishes and turned over all of their own authority to Donald Trump. There is no check and no balance from Congress."

BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen is taking action on the imprisonment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and is currently on the ground in El Salvador to demand his release.

The ranking member on the House Oversight Committee is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following a whistleblower's report that sensitive data is being removed from the agency.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

Biden: One called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme? What the hell are they talking about? People earned these benefits. They paid into that benefit. They rely on that benefit.
