I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon. Walmart, Target, ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it? I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

This happens in North Korea, Russia, and now it's happening here. MAGA is not American.

Youth club soccer is the devil. My child loves it so much and wants the harder competition, but it’s a damn nightmare Ponzi scheme of bullshit and I’m so over it.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Putin owns him

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Does anyone remember Signalgate?

The North Carolina Supreme Court temporarily paused a lower court’s ruling to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in the state’s Supreme Court election, unless they fix their ballots in 15 days. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The SAVE Act is straight-up voter suppression. Military ID? Doesn’t count. Driver’s license? Not enough. Overseas? Too bad—go find your birth certificate. It targets Troops, spouses, and women—on purpose. And they know it.

Y’all know what to do

#booksky 💙📚 trying to vent my female rage through reading…these were great, but it’s not working.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

While we all watch the absolute decimation of trillions of dollars in 401K holdings, just remember this. 75M of you voted for this. For those who sat this one out or voted for the orange fat fuck because they didn't like a black woman who liked to smile, I have a simple message. Fuck you.

Waiting for the orca/penguin resistances to join. Those memes are going to be great fun.

None of this is meant to further American interests. It’s meant to further the oligarchs interests.

🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

Who did this?

Are we great again?

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.” Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

We could have had compassion and intelligence but too many moron magats fell for hatred and stupidity.

Hello, Congress. Are you really going to go along with this tariff fiasco? Use your power.

People saying that Cory Booker's actions are a "stunt" have no understanding of its profound psychological power. For the US and beyond. People ALL OVER THE WORLD are watching this and thinking, "Oh, thank god. They're fighting back. Someone over there is finally fighting back."

@booker.senate.gov is an American treasure. I liked him before…I love him now.

“the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied”

I hate the #hrbt with every fiber of my being.

The kind of person that kills dogs.

I would like to thank @stephenking.bsky.social for reintroducing the word “obdurate” to my vocabulary. It encouraged my son to use it for his school vocabulary parade today, and his loving sister played up her role in his example! 💙📚

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Still relevant as ever

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

is that bad? Seems bad

Warner, with Gabbard and Ratcliffe sitting in front of him: "If this was the case of a military officer or an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they would be fired."

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Hegseth has to go. This should be a non-partisan opinion.
