To do today: - Release my inhibitions - Feel the rain on my skin

The @NYTimes is sooooo bad at this.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

This guy followed ICE in Los Angeles and look what happened.

NYT worst headline ever "Iran Gave Notice of Attack: Trump Offers Olive Branch".... This is repulsive messaging from a so called reputable news organization.

Posts deleted. I'm glad we had that moment. We'll close with Lord I Lift Your Name On High

I’m so old that I remember that a sneak bombing attack on another nation was called a day that would live in infamy.

🚨 BREAKING: Iranian Retaliation Underway 🚨 Here’s what we know so far: - Iran has launched “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory” targeting U.S. forces. - At least 6 missiles fired at U.S. bases in Qatar. - Explosions heard over Doha, possibly intercepted. - U.S. jets scrambling over Saudi Arabia. 1/

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Someone's panicking.

Tribal college leaders said they were stunned by the Trump administration's proposed cuts to their already insufficient funding and had more questions than answers. “It’s a dagger, and I don’t know how we can survive these types of cuts,” one college president said.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

We bombed Iran without congressional approval and I still have chores and work and kids in sports and supper to make. Living through autocracy and another possible forever war while living day to day is wild.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Trump’s unilaterally joining Israel in their war against Iran is also illegal and unconstitutional. Something every Democrat should be saying. There was no Congressional authorization.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

'Going to be ready': Dems say Mike Lee's assassination joke 'broke something open in Utah' www.alternet.org/mike-lee-mn-...

"Was it really this dumb in 2003" guys they renamed french fries

Sotomayor: "By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

I think Green Day summed it up well.

Utah Senator Mike Lee wants to destroy much of what’s left of the West’s natural landscapes. Here’s just a sample of what’s eligible to be sold off near where I grew up: Green is Forest Service Land, orange is BLM land. Contact your senators (or others’ senators), or kiss it goodbye.

Been offline for a bit — has Mike Lee resigned yet?

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Out of curiosity I decided to see if I could find out when the last time Mike Lee had a town hall or any kind of meeting with constituents. I couldn’t find a single one after 2013. It’s been 12 years.

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

South LA runs ICE off ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

the enemy of my frenemy is a sea anemone

Facts matter.

Putting the fear back in Father's Day.

Just four hours ago, even after we’ve learned the shooter was as an anti-abortionist Trump supporter, a sitting U.S. Senator is spreading fake conspiracy theories blaming the murder of a Democratic lawmaker on Democrats. Not only that, he’s pinned the post! Abominably evil stuff from Mike Lee.

Senator Mike Lee needs to immediately resign.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

So I says Mable I says “I’m in my forties, I’m going to drink a fuck ton of tea”

The Department of Energy is quietly slashing disability rights

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

The New York Times making it sound as if the United States is just about to join a super-prestigious club, when it's really slipping (slipped?) into the company of countries ruled by extrajudicial despots.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

This shit is embarrassing
