Watch this and pass it on. This is state thuggery, call them the Stasi, the Gestapo, NKVD--this is what dictators do. It's horrifying to hear this story.

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

Seriously Edward R Murrow would have eviscerated Stephen Miller. The truth is he is a horrible human being and the free press including Terry Moran, should be able to articulate this.

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

I stand with Terry Moran 💙 Shame on ABC News

This amazing post by ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran is 💯 spot on! Thank you for speaking the truth, Terry!!!

Terry Moran told the truth.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Fuck you Senator Jodi Ernst, you condescending bitch. Let’s see you go without health care, which WE pay for. www.huffpost.com/entry/joni-e...

THIS is America. ❤️🇺🇸

It’s June — that means No Kings Day is almost here. Trump is ignoring the courts and the Constitution, so we’re gathering again on June 14 to remind him there are NO KINGS in our country. Check out our map of No Kings Day events and everything else you need to know: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

This is happening all around the country, not just in Arizona. But the Health Department isn't telling us anymore. RFK halted the bird flu vaccine work. So let's see how this works out 😑

#FACTS

#ProudBlue Trump attacks every gov't dime spent on something other than his glorification or his wealthy friends. In the case of our national parks, their cost is only .07% of the budget, but creates a large amt. of economic activity (as well as pleasure).

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

President Donald Trump announced he is granting a “full and unconditional pardon” to a former Virginia sheriff, Scott Jenkins, who was convicted of conspiracy, honest services fraud and bribery.

Donny Two Dolls; “The only thing we're cutting is waste, fraud, and abuse... We're not changing Medicaid, and we're not changing Medicare, and we're not changing Social Security."

When you've paid up to $2M to get a selfie with DONNY TWO DOLLS and all you got was a hat & a 15 min. speech. #CaptionThis #15MinutesOfCrypto

“It is up to all of us to fix this. It’s not going to be because somebody comes and saves you.”

Trump's ‘big ugly bill’ includes restrictions on "the authority of federal courts to hold government officials in contempt when they violate court orders." Making judicial orders meaningless. IN A FUCKING BUDGET BILL?! No, just NO! Make their fucking phones ring off the hook! Simple as that. 😎✨

I had to get this off my chest. It requires a backward reading of oldest to newest because of the character limits on an individual post!

centuries that have led us to today’s great reckoning with the forces that must be illuminated and overcome.

that formed this country. It is so incredibly important that we hold on to these ideals in the face of senseless and inhumane actions being taken by this administration and by all means necessary take the actions necessary to protect and defend the basic principles that have always served us in the

With everything that is happening every day now, it requires a bit of looking back in time to “reset” our memories on how far this Trump admin has perverted the basic principles that we used to rely on for the norms of public service and decency, service to the country, and dedication to the ideals

Clarke: This is a fight over what is right and what is wrong. It is wrong to use this moment to drastically cut the services that the American people need—on top of tariffs, on top of gutting the federal workforce—while people are facing challenges, and then to dismantle healthcare as we know it.

Scanlon: You don’t schedule a meeting for 1 a.m. unless you’re trying to hide something. This bill is terrible. Republicans have been very reluctant to defend what’s in it.

Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Sun City, AZ” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

The U.S. now has a modern day armed secret police force modeled after Nazi Germany’s S.S. It’s called HSI and is responsible for terrorizing innocent people in Oklahoma and Vermont. Updates tonight on MSNBC.

“Sucks”, “idiot”, “moron” and “disgusted” doing some heavy lifting here.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.
