Of course my electorate, nationals heartland, doesn’t have a not shit candidate, but yours actually might so check it out and get behind them if you do. And vote for the least shit candidate with the least shit preference deal if you don’t have one, like me.

A federal judge blocked Trump's sweeping executive order ending government support for DEI programs

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

That article is so hard to read but desperately needs to be read. Ukraine needs our support like never before.

Ukraine has shown all of us around the world, what passion and patriotism looks like. For the past 3 years, they have stood tall and strong in the fight for democracy, sovereignty, freedom and humanity. Ukraine is all of us.

I love this so much.

I snore. But I realised today that if my sleep is light I wake myself up with my own snoring, especially if someone else is here. I dozed off while my support worker was here today, vaguely registered snoring in my sleep state and promptly woke up and said “I heard snoring, was that me?”. It was.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

This is insane. A woman being questioned and police trying to detain her for being in the women’s toilets. It’s not like she was even causing trouble. She was just going about her business. WTAF America?!?!

There definitely should be a boycott of any companies that go back to Russia. Just because Trump is in bed with Putin and wants to hand over Ukraine doesn’t mean we have to be.

What a disaster! So many people impacted. Definitely new blood needed, as per Trish’s post.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Politico’s owner liked Vance cozying up to the Nazi-tainted AfD. Good to know.

The most accurate depiction of trump I’ve seen yet.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Since Trump’s inauguration over 10k people have been deported. In Texas, school bullies repeatedly threatened to deport a little girl's family. This poor 11yo was tormented so brutally that she ended her own life. Please share the suicide hotline #: 988. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It’s the fucking churches…

‘Dutton urges RBA to resist pressure to cut rates’ 🤨 Now, why would he do that? Dutton literally wants to sacrifice people struggling with mortgages so that he has a political advantage He doesn’t care abt the plebs. He only cares abt himself. This is not the kind of man who should b in politics

I am Proudly WOKE!

BREAKING: A plane just crashed in Covington, GA, leaving two dead. That’s the seventh plane crash in recent weeks.

Not that long ago, this alone would have been seen as the huge betrayal of free speech that it is. The fact that it seems like small potatoes now just shows how far down the road to dictatorship America has already driven. It's not enough just to stop things getting worse. Time to clean house.

So much for free speech. Let's make this cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social go viral. I'm married to @tealcartoons.bsky.social so I might be biased, but cartoons have long played a vital role in shaping political debate - both past and present. This type of censorship is deeply troubling.

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

America First. Canada Second! If you vote for Poilievre! #cdnpoli #peipoli

Trump’s sweeping freeze on U.S. foreign assistance has threatened programs intended to counter al-Shabab bombmakers, contain the spread of al-Qaeda across West Africa, and secure Islamic State prisoners in the Middle East.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Europe needs to back Ukraine with everything then freeze Trump out. Make him absolutely unimportant

I know it shouldn’t, but this just blows my mind.
