#ProudBlue Pope Francis has passed away. While I am not Catholic, I respected him for who he was. He had a heart for children & the poor. It must have grieved him so to watch what is going on here and how the 🇺🇸 GOVERNMENT doesn’t have a heart for anyone except the RICH. apple.news/ADTujkg4pTGO...

“Homelessness persists not because we don’t know how to solve it but because the structures of power in this country benefit from maintaining the status quo.” A powerful piece that draws on THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US to dismantle the myth of the “jobless” homeless:

The White House is trying to persuade women to have children after outlawing women’s healthcare and criminalizing miscarriages. Do I have that right?

The so-called religious right could learn a thing or two from the Pope’s final comments. #ProudBlue #Resist

Pete Hegseth has one sideburn. did the other one get shaved off as a prank or what?

More and more damning information just keeps pouring out about Pete Hegseth’s chaotic leadership. It endangers our servicemembers. Hegseth must resign or be fired.

My fav 🎤 Letitia “Tish” James 🗽⚖️💎 Attorney General of The State of New York, is The Gift that keeps on giving to anti-trumpers & the latest round of her massive fight with 🦆 is ON! Here's why this woman of power is Trump's worst nightmare & what she's done this time to make him lose his mind! 1/6🧵

A powerful 🧵 Thank you @nickyschwenzer.bsky.social

#ProudBlueVets #ResistanceUnited It hurts my heart to even use the graphic below. My dad gave his life for our country. I feel DonOLD will call for marital law at some point. It would be so disturbing to see our military go against other Americans. Like and share if you agree. #ImpeachTrumpNow

I have security questions, not to mention why she carries $3,000 in cash: www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

America Undone: How Our Inability to Confront Racism Will Be Our Self-Destruction Professor @esglaude.bsky.social joins me to discuss why America has been unwilling and unable to confront white supremacy & how Trump is the inevitable, destructive result. thelefthook.substack.com/p/america-un...

Curious to see how the wealthy, powerful and elite, who graduated Harvard and want their kids to go there, will square off now against a Trump Administration that they've bent the knee to.

These people are a disgrace to Christianity. Take off that cross, you vampire. Monsters.

Pam Bondi, prove it. You're the Attorney General. Show us the evidence.

There should've been an entire group of Democratic Senators that joined Chris Van Hollen. He shouldn't be the only one.

Pam Bondi is an even bigger piece of shit than I thought she was.

A guess as to what Trump & his co-conspirators sought to get from yesterday’s White House meeting with El Salvador’s dictator from @emptywheel.bsky.social. 1/2 www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/14/w...

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

I miss this man every day! What's happening in our country under Trump is dangerous, criminal & authoritarian. I hope everyone in America realizes & regrets what we lost in abandoning, Joe Biden, the BEST PRESIDENT in my lifetime & tunes in to hear him speak. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

New mushroom vases, plastic flowers from my trip to Dollarama yesterday, and my 2 new wee cacti in vintage vessels from the vintage show! I give myself an A+ on my window shelf rearranging.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Let me help. Shipping hundreds of people to a third-world prison—where they may be held for life—without a criminal charge or conviction is not "wonderful" to anyone who cares an iota about American values. Anyone defending this evil would have repulsed the Founders.

➡️ Trump and his administration tell a lie. ➡️ Right-wing media reports on the lie as fact. ➡️ Trump administration cites the reporting to substantiate the lie. ➡️ Trump sees the lie on right-wing media and thinks it's actually true. 🔄 Repeat

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Trump is refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to do so. This is a constitutional crisis. How can it not meet the threshold for articles of impeachment?

this is the energy

Trump defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision is the reason I say "if we still have free and fair elections in the United States" when I talk about 2026 midterms.

SEE YOU SATURDAY AMERICA…Hands Off

FFS, Chuck Another somewhat "strongly worded" statement? 🙄 You do realize over 5 million of us rose up on April 5th, right? Do you plan on joining us in the fight to save our country? @schumer.senate.gov The Reformers

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited Friends, we need to do this! It only takes a few minutes. Thank you @kevinriggle.bsky.social for posting this.

Jesse did not ‘question an aspect of the progressive message.’ He dedicated his *entire career* to popularizing the idea that progressives are unhinged, anti-science freaks who are foisting permanent surgeries on kids without assessment.

Over the last nine Presidential elections, men vote red by about 10 points, and women are the opposite. So, MAGAs Are Banning Women From Voting Because Women Vote Blue If your path to ‘win’ is voter suppression, it isn’t democracy you support, it’s dictatorship. www.qasimrashid.com/p/magas-are-...

this is the weakest an american president has ever looked on the world stage, just being proudly cucked by el salvador in an attempt to troll
