My latest on Sky Dancing with Featured Funny by @johnbuss.bsky.social wp.me/pgqML-QOY Here comes the summer sun! We've got an extreme heat warning all day. The most interesting thing is something I have always associated with the active volcano ring of fire in the Pacific Ocean.

🚨🚨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‼️

My latest on Sky Dancing with Featured Funny by wp.me/pgqML-QJ5. The contrast between Sunday's events was glaring. All over the country, people turned out for the No Kings event. There was a very boring, sparsely attended military parade in Washington, D.C.

In Hurricane Katrina, mainstream media were more worried people might take stuff rom WalMart than that grandmothers were dying on rooftops of buildings surrounded by contaminated floodwater.

Just received this encouraging update from Senator Hoffman's wife, Yvette, on their recovery in the hospital. Grateful for their progress and will continue to keep them in our prayers.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

These kids are cute but they need to put in some time hiding from railroad bulls, getting strung out and smashing their TVs in a dissociative rage before I can take them seriously as artists.

O.M.G. Check out this footage of the Trump military parade in DC. The empty bleachers. The squeaking wheels. What an embarrassment for Donald Trump. (video via Elizabeth Landers of the Scripps News service over on X)

Every Trump supporter who shot off their mouth today should apologize. The assassin who murdered Minnesota lawmaker Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark and shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, Vance Boelter, was not only a Republican, he was a huge Trump supporter.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

It is official! Despite tanks and planes, Trump’s parade was “listless and low-energy.”

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

Kickoff celebration on the beach prior to the #NoKings protest today in Fort Lauderdale. This video shows organizers of #indivisibleHopeAndAction on the beach before the crowd later grew to over 2000 people. #NoKings #Indivisiblehopeandaction #Protest #UnitedWeStand

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Trump wants us to cower in silence, but we will not back down from calling out the destruction, corruption and hypocrisy of his administration.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

I'm pretty sure we had a great turnout in NOLA! Home now bc the heat damn near killed me. The images are deceptive because everyone was hiding in the shade on the sides of the park and the street but the procession/parade went on a long time

They are actively arresting peaceful protesters for wearing medical masks at the protests. Now if you are wondering how police are treating nonviolent protesters. Have a feeling this is going to turn into a thread of actions today

This wasn’t just a political assassination. This was planned and strategic. One rep and one senator living close one another in an almost deadlocked political state by a well prepared gunman
