Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴 The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

WTF. Netanyahu drops "preemptive" deadly bombs on Iran and Lindsey cheers him on.

I needed a laugh. There is a No Kings rally at the Place de la Bastille in Paris on June 14th.

In case you are uninformed, this is total PROPAGANDA. Illegal immigrants have never had access do to any government funded healthcare programs! The GOP knows this but they want to get your support for their horrific bill that will cut YOUR healthcare. PAY ATTENTION!

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

WTF

The phrase "rally around the flag" refers to a bump in a president's approval rating if there's a perceived attack on the county. I don't think it refers to when a president attacks his own people. Chant, "when democracy is under attack, what do we do? STAND UP FIGHT BACK".

Where are the religious leaders in the fight against ICE abductions of the vulnerable? The iconic photos of civil rights protests in the 60's always show religious leaders up front and vocal.

I feel like I've been sounding the alarm forever. I feel like I've been fighting forever. I'm worried people have stopped listening. I'm worried people don't actually care. Sorry it's just one of those weeks... months... years...

ICE conducted an illegal kidnapping of immigrants in Chicago today. Immigrants were sent a message to report to the BI Inc office to check their tracking device. They were held without representation until masked thugs with guns and batons from ICE abducted them. NOT IN MY CITY.

Trump has corrupted the pardon process. Not only has he issued pardons to people unworthy of the privilege, in many cases he received $$$$ prior to issuing the pardon.

Are any other words needed? The question is WHY? How are we allowing this to be overlooked? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

In an era where it feels like nothing you do makes a difference, power washing your fence can temporarily make you feel like Wonder Woman. Power washing is cheaper than therapy.

Trump just reposted a conspiracy theorist post that claims Biden died in 2020 and a clone was put in his place. Can you say 25th amendment!

At a town hall in Iowa, Sen. Joni Ernst, was asked about her party's plan to cut Medicare/medicaid. She said, "we're all going to die sometime." The "pro-life" party proves they are the "pro-birth" party. After you're born they could give a f*ck about you. Is this what you voted for?

True or false?

This was a peaceful protest.

Trump finds out that his tarriffs are illegal and thus starts his insane posts on Truth Social tonight.

Kudos to whoever fixed this lunatic’s Memorial Day post…

The draft dodger who's throwing himself a $90,000,000 military parade next month woke up a 6 a.m. on Memorial Day and posted this on his social media account. No mention of those who died fighting for our democracy, the ultimate sacrifice. Oh I forgot, he thinks they're "suckers and losers".

I bought these underwear to wear to a commencement speech during trump's 1st term. Today in his address at West Point he talked about trophy wives & said nobody wanted to join the military when Biden was president. FYI the cadets joined the military when Biden was president. He is dumb as a stump.

Alert: if Trump's "big beautiful bill" passes the Senate it is estimated that more than 750 rural hospitals will need to close due to Medicaid cuts. That means people will die. Tell me again how they are the "pro life" party.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

An administration that has halted asylum for every group EXCEPT FOR WHITE South African Afrikaans is investigating Chicago's Mayor Johnson for his goal of having a diverse city government that reflects the makeup of the city it governs. Go figure... blockclubchicago.org/2025/05/19/t...

FRT's that modify a gun so it shoots 700-960 shots/min. are now legal. I google it and found a video where the camo wearing host who called his viewers "brothers in Christ" has an orgasmic reaction to shooting a gun that could kill more than a classroom full of school children in less than a minute.

Between boycotting Target and Amazon I not only saved $ but I realized I was buying things because it was "easy" not because I needed it. Kind of ironic that two companies that relied on our country's consumer driven mentality cured me of it.

Yes I'm up at midnight watching C-Span while the GOP trys to pass Trump's "big beautiful bill" that reportedly will raise taxes on the poor and middle class, make cuts to Medicare and Medicaid while giving tax breaks to the top 1%. They assumed everyone would be sleeping... well I'm not.

28 people died in severe weather in Kentucky & Missouri last week, leaving $1 billion in damage in its wake. 1 died & 4 injured in a domestic terrorist bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs. Trump's response... rage tweeting about Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Beyoncé, Oprah, and Taylor Swift.

Donald Trump is raging tweeting against: Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Oprah, Bono, Taylor Swift & "many others". Why the temper tantrum? 1/2

25-47

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

At least 27 people died after a spree of powerful tornadoes ravaged Kentucky and Missouri this week. Trump has yet to offer condolences or help. Trump is reposting buff caricatures of himself slaying his "enemies" and promises of retribution. Is this what you voted for...

#ProudBlue #MomSky I had to join in on this song! We need a NEW President NOW! The one we haven’t just isn’t working out at all. There seems to be a glitch in the matrix.

Can you imagine if Obama or Biden hung huge portraits of themselves outside public buildings... 🤮

Meanwhile a gay makeup artist from Venezuela who is not a criminal and is in the country legally was kidnapped by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador.
