#TrumpGestapo

These people don't give a shit that they aren't qualified to do their job or they are so unqualified, they are not aware that they are unqualified. What is their limit? If you lead Linda McMahon into an operating room, tell her she's a surgeon, does she start cutting?

Advocacy groups that help veterans file disability claims for free with the Department of Veterans Affairs are opposing a Republican-led bill that would enable commercial companies to charge thousands of dollars for the same service.

🚨 VA Report on VA Cuts blocked by Trump and his regime. Trump hates veterans.

Nazi Musk being against the fascist GOP bill that MAGA republicans are now pretending to be against all because he wants to pretend to give a shit about bankrupting America when he just helped destroy Govt Departments left and right in order to make money for himself is crazy AF.

Thank you, Nick, for standing up for the LGBTQ+ community.

I'm sorry I know this is not news of the day but I watch my felon waving 2 dolls 5 pencil loving MADA neighbor do this all the time (and he is one of those shaved head weight lifters) boingboing.net/2025/06/04/r...

I've been so excited to hold this in my hands... and it's finally here! "Lessons From Cats For Surviving Fascism" Thank you to the amazing team at Grand Central Publishing/Hachette and to Pablo Amargo for the stunning illustrations. Canada, UK, USA - June 24th Pre-Order Now! MagnaCata.com

Trump has let hundreds of violent criminals out of our prison and into our streets while tearing non-violent families apart and deporting hard-working tax-paying immigrants. He should be impeached and convicted and spend the rest of his wretched life in prison.

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY. None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened. Read the story below.

Abso Freaking Lutely!

open.substack.com/pub/thomhart... Great read from Thom Hartmann The numbing of America. We are being desensitized to the bad (fascist) behavior from the right. Just 10 years ago the things that Felon47 has been getting away with would have caused all hell to break loose. The MSM, mostly crickets.

Don’t think for one second this doesn’t matter. 24-year-old Keishan Scott just won a seat in the South Carolina State House by 41 points! Kamala won the majority-black 50th district in SC by 6 points. 4 months of The Dictator has made a huge difference.

June 5, 1989. A lone man blocks the path of 13 tanks in Tiananmen Square with his body. The day before, Chinese govt had violently cleared protestors after a 6 wk standoff. Nobody knows what happened to Tank Man, but his act of courage became one of the most iconic images of the 20th century. ✊🏽

The thing about Whiskey Pete's implementation of what are supposed to be anti-DEI measures is he has targeted people who were historical figures W/O DEI. I can assure you that Harriet Tubman did not rely on DEI measures to achieve what she did. So did Harvey Milk. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

My latest @npr.org story: Efforts by the Trump administration’s DOGE team to amass data at federal agencies could hurt the U.S. government’s ability to produce reliable #2030Census results, economic indicators and other key statistics in the future, experts warn

Ironic these two never signed a political prenup before the divorce. This is gonna get MAGA ugly. FAST!

Jesus. This is eerily reminiscent of Alec Smith’s story in Minnesota (his death spearheaded the nationwide push for a $35/mo insulin cap).

“According to Congressman Jason Crow, more than 1,400 immigrants are detained in the Aurora ICE GEO facility alongside Vizguerra. Some of them were arrested during three large ICE raids in Colorado, with agents reportedly bursting into homes and arresting people who showed asylum paperwork.”

The Trump administration has made clear its intent to dismantle the Department of Education. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
