Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Republicans don’t care about any of this.

Oklahoma receives about $3 billion more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes. That's nearly $8,000 per Oklahoman--only 9 states have a higher per capita balance of payments. Subsidies from MA, NJ, WA, CA, and a few others are how OK remains a "low tax state."

All the states that got denied disaster aid watching Trump send the Marines to LA

Billionaire Walmart heiress Christy Walton is paying for a full page ad in the New York Times entitled ‘No Kings’ and MAGA are now calling to boycott Walmart. This is funny AF. 🤣

We feed you. They hunt us.

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

“Young soldiers make mistakes. But if senior officers remain silent, what lesson will those young men and women take from what happened?” says @radiofreetom.bsky.social. I’m embarrassed by those troops & their leaders, and they all ought review the army’s rules. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ha! Nobody wants this loser's military birthday parade. See y'all everywhere else on Saturday. ❌👑 prri.org/spotlight/mi...

Some good news!

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

Yes, this!

“The Trump administration’s baseless deployment of the National Guard is plainly retaliation against California, a stronghold for immigrant communities,” one advocate said.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to a notorious El Salvador prison, has been returned to the United States and is scheduled to be arraigned in a Nashville federal court on Friday. via @tennesseelookout.com www.newsfromthestates.com/article/kilm...

President Trump stumbles while attempting to board Air Force One

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza

ICE crossed a line in LA

When cops are the terrorists…

💯 I was SO disappointed in Democrats who voted for Trump’s cabinet nominees like this was an ordinary administration. Looking at you @amyklobuchar.com.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I watched the same thing happen in Andor Season 2.

On his first day in office, Donald Trump pardoned 169 people who were convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6.

Last night, the White House invoked questionable legal authority to order National Guard and possibly active-duty troops into Los Angeles against the governor’s wishes. This deeply troubling use of military force on U.S. soil demands urgent scrutiny.

The EPA-targeted rules could prevent an estimated 30,000 deaths and save $275 billion each year they are in effect, according to an Associated Press examination that included the agency’s own prior assessments as well as a wide range of other research.

What you see here is faces — the faces of men and women who follow strict rules of engagement after extensive training about human rights and operating in civilian populations Should raise the standard for their temporary peers

10 months ago today I bombed that kids hospital. You have imposed no meaningful consequences. Trump wants to sanction the victims. To us in Kremlin, this means it is permitted. It's why we keep doing it.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

This. Note it well.

I was an immigration lawyer for about fifteen years. The people I met… the way they wanted to give their absolute best to this country, and then DID. Skills, ideas, beauty, culture… that’s what they bring. America is a nation of immigrants, and immigration is what made America.

Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not at our borders. It is in the White House.

Statement from Gavin Newsom: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that the events in this thread are happening in the United States of America.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.
