it is, again, intensely funny that the entire country threw a massive "fuck that guy's birthday party" party in response to trump's birthday party

Wealthy MAGA get loans forgiven but Americans with student loan debt get their wages garnished. Got it.

Portland, OR is out for No Kings! Streets, busses, & trains are packed.

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers. This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.

If you live in Brevard and want to file a complaint about your sheriff threatening to kill you, here's a link to the Inspector General's law enforcement complaint form: www.fdle.state.fl.us/getdoc/741f5...

Protest is patriotic. Throughout history, dictators have claimed that opposing them means hating the country. Trump is now using that same authoritarian frame. But in a democracy, dissent isn’t treason it’s how we protect the soul of the nation. We The People define what it means to love America.

ICE is staying in the marriot next to spectrum center in Irvine, please tell your neighbors / friends in the area and be safe

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

I didn't recite "with Liberty and Justice for all" every morning in school just to be called Radical for wanting Liberty and Justice for ALL as an adult.

Contrast is so clear: Do you want to live in Trump's America where disease spread, free speech is physically attacked and everything from government contracts to science depends on the whim of the mad king OR do you want to live in a free country, with vaccines and decisions based on merit

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

Trump’s America. 😢😢

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Miller will stop at nothing

This is a major escalation: threatening to turn the US military on its own citizens. This is NOT allowed! This dumbass has no idea what he is doing!

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

ICYMI, new piece/thread from me:

📢

10.9 million people will lose healthcare coverage with Trump’s bill. Healthcare is a human right, and should be free and universal!

This is a talking head, NOT a director of a law enforcement agency. This administration is all jokers and fools.

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

Guess who is going to pay for the tariffs?

Actually, yes, this and a fantastic set of encyclopedias

🔥JONES: “If they come for one of us, they will come for all of us. No one is expendable.” Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social speaks powerfully at @hrc.org about the importance of not leaving anyone behind in the fight for equality. #PrideIsAProtest #PrideMonth

Vought blatantly lies about Medicaid cuts on CNN, claiming "no one will lose coverage as a result of this bill"

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

The clip MAGA didn’t want you to see. substack.com/@demwinsmedi...

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

New update 🤣💀

This

When federal agents arrested 30 year old Tufts graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk on March 25th, they were in masks, PLAINCLOTHES & not wearing badges. Without due process, this is kidnapping and trafficking. @housedemocrats.bsky.social & @democrats.senate.gov - we need hearings on this NOW!

This photo doesn’t have alt text which is a shame because what a missed opportunity to describe this monstrosity. If you’re on a text-based app, there’s no excuse for not adding a little more text.

I'm over here using the word groceries like some old fart. What are the cool kids calling 'em these days?

Trump is the most corrupt president we've ever had. Nixon's crimes seem so quaint in comparison.

Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.

Boyle: "Out from CBO, just tonight, are the distributional effects of this bill. And what does it show? The bottom 10 percent of Americans will actually be poorer as a result of this bill with the biggest benefit going to the top 1 percent."

House Republicans don’t want you to watch their 1:00 AM hearing to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance and rip away food and basic nutrition from millions of kids and seniors. Defy the billionaires and watch anyway:

This world absolutely frightens and confuses me. Is the president made of cheddar cheese? Is the job of the vice president to dispatch popes and fuck couches? I don’t know! But even I know that when you cut revenue by twice as much as spending, you get a bigger deficit.
