Say thank you to #VolodymyrZelenskyy “40 Russian bombers destroyed in 4 different regions, according to reports I've seen.” ~ Maria Avdeeva ~ #SheShed

Joni Ernst every Sunday.

🕸️🃏 "Zelensky has no cards…" they said

Agreed… and he wants to take away healthcare from poor people so he can have even more. The insatiable greed of billionaires is destroying them and civil society. No amount of Ketamine will fix a bottomless pit of soulless pursuits.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

No kidding, one of my favourite photos I've ever taken. Things got very grebey yesterday #birds 🌿 (Eared grebes)

EVERY Republican should be asked if they would want this for their family. Being asked to wear a mask during a pandemic was somehow robbing them of their liberties, but keeping a dead family member on life support to have an unviable child and forcing them to bear the costs… is A-OK?

Huge conflict of interest!

Great idea from @cherijacobus.bsky.social.

Fighting to save our democracy and freedom is no easy feat but I’m in it until I take my last breath. Have a great day. ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 #MondayVibes

National Literacy Institute: 21% of adults in the US were illiterate as of 2024. 54% of US adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level). Worldwide the US ranks 36th in literacy. This is horrifying. It also explains a lot.

John Oliver is funny but he’s also absolutely right — @TerryMoran shouldn’t have moved on from Trump’s lie about the photoshopped MS-13 tattoos, he should’ve pressed Trump on it further and made him wear it even harder.

“How much injustice will Americans take? Has the arrest of a judge crossed a line you cannot tolerate? How about the taking of three small American children out of the country in the middle of the night without due process? Have we crossed the Rubicon yet?” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I think we should raise the salience of this.

POLITICO: “A federal judge is raising alarms that the Trump administration deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with ‘no meaningful process’ even as the child’s father was frantically petitioning the courts to keep her in the country.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

This seems like the exact scenario all those mouth breathing rednecks claimed they were hoarding automatic weapons for. What's that... crickets you say?
