The cost of a Trump golfing outing to taxpayers? About $7 million a round, with Secret Service factored in. At his current golfing pace, the total tab will run $183 million in 2025, about what Trump wants to cut from the Library of Congress. @deanbaker13.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/cost-o...

FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Stop saying you’re fine….none of this is fine. youtu.be/SPtMGaYLaas

That'll be the day ... (on another note, I often wish that meme creators would proofread their texts before publishing)

Wow, didn't think I could learn something new about the Nazis in my country! (I thought they were just openly having violent street fights with communist/socialist groups before 1933) But since the tRump regime are such unoriginal copycats, it all makes sense.

LET’S MAKE SURE THIS PATRIOT IS PROTECTED!!! 🚨DISTURBING: Airman Christian Stephens posted a video saying he’s not proud to serve under Trump and disapproves of ICE. Now it’s gone—replaced with a chilling message that he was forced into a psych hold, despite not being a threat. Please share.

by nearly every measure California ranks ahead of states like MS, AL, AR, MO, SC, TN and SD. CA has lower murder rate, lower crime rate, higher education, higher health ratings, higher minimum wage, higher well-being, safer envirnoment, etc than all those states.

Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."

“The lust for power is not rooted in strength, but in weakness. — Erich Fromm”

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

When people said “abolish ICE,” this is why. The politicians from both parties who called that “radical,” blindly funded them and called it “immigration reform,” because they were getting campaign donations from the corporations getting ICE contracts. And now we’re here.

There's trouble in the wind, and most of us can feel it. And we all know, deep within our hearts, that we're always stronger standing together. The challenge is to set aside our differences and forge a common path.

The stakes are way too high for us to be arguing over who has the best plan, or who should lead. The only viable "should" right now is the one that points to standing on common ground.

Whenever I'm able to be truly present and available, physically as well as emotionally, I can always find the truth within me if I'm willing to open my heart and search for it, fearlessly. The challenge is in recognizing and holding that truth, even when it's uncomfortable.

It's been over 20 years since this clip from Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' and members of Congress still aren't reading bills before voting for them.

So Elon had his last official day…

U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

FAFO

"In an environment where attention is our most valuable and scarce resource, talking about Biden’s mental state comes at the expense of talking about other things— namely Trump’s corruption, which, unlike Biden’s health, actually impacts us."

Thank you, Marc Elias. "Perhaps the latest sin was spending the last three weeks obsessing about Joe Biden rather than sounding the alarm over mass, illegal deportations, threats to free and fair elections and the unjust prosecution of those who dare speak up."

Exactly. From my recent speech about free press at the Swiss Media Forum in Lucernce: "Autocrats, especially, do not like editorial cartoons which target them. They don't like being laughed at."

Trump's fascist fetish anntelnaes.substack.com/p/trumps-fas...

And the media normalizing despicable behavior every damned day
