Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Worth emphasizing that Tom Homan has literally no official powers. "Border Czar" is a made up position that amounts to, at best, a senior White House advisor.

My statement on the arrest of California SEIU President David Huerta.

Adam Schiff - Good move. But as well-intended and much-needed as it is, I'm afraid your bill will fare as well as a snowball in hell, given the current make-up of Congress.

The first step in gathering the sane voters to show up at the next federal election is to quit calling these people geniuses, and recognize they are fools. apple.news/AtuAwaU5TRB6...

Californian Resistance

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get married to the same sex. Don’t like gender-affirming care? Don’t have any. Don’t like Planned Parenthood? Don’t go there. Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one. Just because *you* don’t like it doesn’t mean *others* shouldn’t be able to it.

This is another important history lesson that we need to heed! Historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social dedicated her substack to it last night! Read it here! 👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

PLEASE read this thread. It's vital. And offers a way to fight this open threat.

Ike would have been kicked out of the GOP today for being the ultimate Antifa.

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

His assignment was to destroy US.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

National missile defense is the longest-running scam in the history of the Department of Defense. Musk didn’t invent it, but he’s about to get a whole lot richer by perpetuating it. https://trib.al/HylddRa

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE-bros have decimated our nation’s weather warning system and are putting lives at risk. It’s irresponsible, and it will cause devastation. We need to elect a Democratic Congress and stop them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

mothrights.org/about/ More Than Human Life. There is no need for money or currency of any kind if there is no planet supporting life. Pay attention.

Be better. Do better. #deposetrump

Make Good Trouble

Continue to make good trouble. It's up to all of us to stop this madness. Remember, taking back the House and Senate in next years election paves the way for putting lil Donnie out to pasture, or behind bars. Preferably the latter with a few of his closest friends...

“How is it possible that a party that has done pretty well in its management of the economy over the past three decades—better than the other party on this front—gets no political benefit? Democrats have had a striking inability to get credit for good results.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-big...

I am trying very hard not to break things right now after seeing the Secretary of DHS indicate she doesn’t understand a legal concept so essential to the principles of a free society it dates as far back as the MAGNA CARTA.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
