The German Chancellor pointing out to Trump in the Oval Office that his family were immigrants back in the day is some cunning I must say! Bravo! #USPOL #Merz #Trump #Immigration

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary." Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day." German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

I am jealous of the raibbow trout and crave the cold, frothing current. Make me a rock in a river bed, smooth me with algea. Dissappear into time. Protector of crawdads.

Pete Hegseth is planning to rename some ships. Harriet Tubman is too “woke” for him. www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-ne...

The comments at the end are the worst part.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

The Chrisley pardons are just the latest in a series of questionable pardons by the president.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

MAGA Republican's laughing, clapping, and celebrating after cutting Medicare by $500 billion, stripping health care from over 13 million people and eliminating food security programs for over 4 million children in the middle of the night. #3E #StopTheBillionaireBailout

Prayers for a good man.

They are now going after non profits. Please repost far & wide. www.facebook.com/share/p/1F47...

If approved, the move would be the first time Guard troops at the national level have been asked to assist in the removal of migrants in the U.S. without legal status.

Ciabatta not fuck with them, they don't knead to put up with naan of your shit. You butter believe they'll crumb right at you and you'll be toast, your loaf over. Do you want your mama putting flours on your grave? Crust me, that's just how they roll. Okay, challah at you later.

Our grandson is going to love these ❤️

I don't know what to say. I gathered signatures for a higher minimum wage and earned sick time and bodily autonomy and all three were passed by voters in my state. Republicans disregard our Constitution and our will. They don't give a shit. missouriindependent.com/2025/05/14/m...

My sympathies to the Bond family. I am proud that Kit and I were friends. He cared deeply and always about Missouri. #RIPSenatorKitBond

Dismantling and privatizing is the goal www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Army veteran Harry Miller was stationed in Germany when the Nazis surrendered. Upon hearing the news, he recalls that American troops went to sleep or shook hands. "And some just couldn't believe it."

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

NY GOP Rep. Mike Lawler desperately tries to portray himself as a “moderate,” but he’s a fascism enabler — just like all the other feckless Republicans in Congress. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!

The happiest dog, you’ll see today

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Happening now on the steps of the MO State Capitol! The public hearing for HJR 73, which overturns MO Amendment 3& reinstates the abortion ban, just ended. 100s of Missourians traveled to Jefferson City to testify against HJR 73, and were denied their time to speak. Listen to their testimonies now!

Mohsen was just released by the federal judge in VT!!

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They must understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have."

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Remember how Russia paid the taliban for every killed American soldier

RETWEET if you stand with Judge Hannah Dugan!

Resisters will be out again this Saturday in front of Hawley & Schmidt's office. #StopTheCoup #Resist #GoodTrouble #ColumbiaMo #Missouri

The National Institutes of Health plans to pool information from private sources like pharmacies and smartwatches.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Very Interesting And Typical….

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

📌62 years ago today, in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King wrote: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." 📌Let these words ring with thunder today as a madman and his odious henchmen take a wrecking ball to the Constitution and our human rights everywhere ...

More #stl metro protests for Apr 19. #nokings #teslaTakedown

Hold Marco Rubio in contempt and then see whether the administration can figure out how to comply with a court order.

Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment. To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing. Republicans rejected it.

Listen to Nancy, who came to talk to me about her son Charlie. I had to tell her that as State Auditor, I couldn't help. She reminded me that as someone who cares for fellow Iowans, I could share her story. You can also share her story. Are you listening, Governor? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8j8sjdJ/

Liar Greg Abbott says he has refused to set a special election to fill the seat of recently diseased Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner because he says Harris County doesn’t do their elections properly.
