I post a little, repost a lot, and comment on some reposts to avoid looking like a bot (also because I have something to add). I believe in democracy & support the constitution. I block posters who repeatedly post obvious AI photos. And I love Star Wars.

My dogs went ballistic barking when the garbage truck came by to empty the dumpster. So I’ve spent weeks joining them at the patio door, repeating in a high happy voice, “Oh, look! The friends are here! The friends are emptying the dumpster!”—all the while shoveling treats into the dogs’ mouths.

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

Trump's rage at the media over failures of Iran bombing sends a message: We can't trust anything the admin says on this via official channels. Everything will be tailored to serve the cult of Trump. On the pod, national security lawyer Brad Moss is brilliant on this: newrepublic.com/article/1972...

Definitely not the good guys.

“In the face of demonstration that vaccines are the single most lifesaving technology for children, over half a century, he is asserting a position that the U.S. will not support vaccination. This is utterly disastrous for children around the world and for public health.” Horrifying

For me, but not for thee...

I just want to cry…

Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.

Doctors who elevated this guy need to be treated like doctors who worked for tobacco companies or pushed OxyContin on everyone. Am I wrong?

Law enforcement has been sent to silence disabled Americans peacefully protesting in the Senate—because Republicans are trying to rip away the Medicaid that keeps them alive. This is cruelty, plain & simple. We see you. We won’t be silent. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social

Despite the court order, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is likely to be immediately taken into custody by ICE, which has said he must be deported no matter what happens in his criminal trial.

Where the hell do we live?! Americans in wheelchairs are being ARRESTED at the Capitol—for daring to demand healthcare and fight for Medicaid. This is what a dying democracy looks like: cruelty for the poor, handcuffs for the disabled. Shame on every damn one of them. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Time to get over him.

NEW: Emil Bove does not deny telling DoJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. Thank you for your line of questioning, @schiff.senate.gov

“Inspiring the next generation is core to what we do…” As someone who works with the next generation I want to say clearly and specifically fuck every single person enabling what is happening right now

New from me: Republicans are going after Obamacare AND ITS PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS PROTECTIONS again, they just aren’t bragging about it the way they did a decade ago. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

can’t imagine the brainworms that would lead a person to post “it’s very hard to make money on this service that is necessary for life, therefore the government can’t do it” that’s literally the EXACT niche government services exist for

Slipped into President Trump's signature bill is a dangerous provision barring states from passing any regulations against discriminatory and harmful AI. Tell your Senators now to oppose the AI regulation ban.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

important life hack for video games

The Speaker of the House insisting that Congress doesn't and shouldn't have a say in use of military force abroad is a pathetically weak abdication of Constitutional duty. The Founders anticipated the possibility of a tyrant. But they didn't think Congress would eagerly forfeit its own power.

UPDATE: Hero at the Torrance car wash, Bertha Alicia Guzmán, is speaking out after stepping in like a boss during an “immigration raid”. She helped stop a worker from being taken by “ICE” agents suspected of being imposters.

ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deport—after taking 2 bullets in combat. Sae Joon Park "miraculously" survived being shot in spine—then given 3 weeks to deport to South Korea. Will miss dying mother's funeral—then his daughter's wedding. Was legally in U.S. under deferred action.

The speaker has called for a vote on the impeachment of Donald John Trump to take place now. Tune in to @CSPAN live on www.cspan.org

I accepted “this IS America” when Trump got elected despite running on a platform that utterly crushed what I idealistically (& unrealistically) thought of as American ideals. And when 1/3 of voters couldn’t care enough to vote, had their votes rejected, or were unable to vote due to govt actions.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Best idea I’ve heard yet!! bsky.app/profile/mrsb...

Trump’s VA is pulling the rug out from under thousands of Veterans who were promised help keeping their homes. This is what happens when you put someone who calls us “suckers and losers” in charge. MORE: www.npr.org/2025/06/19/n...

100 days. 💔

War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. ~ Major General Smedley Butler, USMC

📌Trump loves our troops so much it took him only 150 days to unnecessarily put them in extreme danger.

Please take care of yourselves, friends. Protect your peace. Every troll out there would love to see you waste your time battling them instead of spending your time on the things you love.

Fucking Insane

Does this count as no “good deed” goes unpunished?

Is this really about deporting criminals? No. It's about testing the limits of the constitution and terrorizing communities. ICE is behaving like a rogue agency and the officers responsible for this need to be held accountable.
