Wait, aren’t those Ninja mutant turtles there?

He’s the biggest fucking crybaby in the history of the world. He’s an embarrassment to this country.

Keep the pressure on after "No Kings Day" -- Here's a Next Step from @standupamerica.com. LOTS more to choose from right here >> www.nokings.org/next

So making America great again means crashing the market, blowing up trade, destroying domestic air travel, eradicating foreign aid, blowing up spaceships, erasing our history, painting everything gold, humiliating the military, and raiding farms, schools and baseball stadiums.

My boss told me I was getting fired for poor reviews. I told him my work was the best anyone has ever seen before and he should stop listening to FAKE reviews!

Donald Trump’s Favorite Lie: ‘Two Weeks’ — 7 Years of Promises, Still Waiting

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

OH HELL NO

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

“There is a vast chasm between the concept of freedom inscribed on paper and the reality of freedom in our lives.” Revisit Jelani Cobb‘s piece, from 2020, on Juneteenth and the meaning of freedom.

I call bull

Just published: It's not just one arrest. It’s a strategy. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

"The town Select Board is reviewing claims the ICE processing center is being used as detention center against their zoning code by keeping detainees in inadequate conditions for longer than a few hours, as originally intended..." www.nbcboston.com/news/local/b...

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

The Republican budget bill includes new tax breaks to private equity firms who take over smaller businesses, load them with debt, close factories, and fire workers. Yet another Wall Street giveaway by the "party of the working class."

Time to get the fuck out of Kansas Dorothy!

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

He is just a MAGA liar!

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

For real tho…

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

And have to complaining about Juneteenth, he took off work early and went golfing as usual.

There isn’t a single decision Donald Trump has made, which isn’t suspect at some point. Permitting coal plants to continue, Cutting VA loans to veterans, and merging the DHS with immigration and enforcement and using the marines to protect those officers should never be allowed.

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory. The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

Hahahahahaha

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

I have long believed believe that Donald Trump was the Manchurian candidate selected by Vladimir Putin after giving him hundreds of millions of dollars

Tell me again about the grand old party the party of Republicans, the family party, the children party and then explain again how they can take the money from snap program and cut it so children have nothing to eat. I call out the GOP bullshit. They want to protect families but cut their healthcare

Three weeks ago tomorrow. 🤡

What is this—Make Asbestos Great Again? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

So much for MAHA.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

"Peace president."

Sen Chuck Grassley, age 91, is holding a hearing on the former president’s cognitive decline. Crickets on the current presidents’….

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Clarence Thomas is an anti-American traitor ♥️🤍💙

WOW! SpaceX’s Starship 36 just exploded in a massive fireball prior to launch.

Today is Day 68.

So where exactly are those hundreds/thousands of criminals and gang members and terrorists the President keeps shouting about to get our attention!
