Why can't we treat our friends and allies with respect?

"It is up to us to get him back. It is up to us to free him because the US is a government still, for this moment, of by and for the people!" Watch @timmiller.bsky.social's speech from the Supreme Court demanding that Andry is freed now. Donate to help at freeandry.org

What is wrong with these people? It's amazing how they can do so much cruelty.

Here's the video to my post. 👇🏼 This is so gravely WRONG! Idk what we're gonna do, but this is FULL NAZI shite, right hea. We are the USA 🇺🇸 We're not this kinda bullshit. We have to fight back on this HARD! They are coming for ALL OF US! Don't be fooled.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

The “government overreach” Republicans who cried that universal background checks on guns would lead to a registry of gun owners, are quiet now that Trump is paying Plantir to build profiles to track every American using their personal, financial, health and social media data.

This. This is why you don’t cut cancer research. Idiots. All of them.

The Army estimates Donald Trump's vanity parade will cost as much as $45 million, not counting clean-up and repairing roads damaged by 60-ton tanks.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

‘A historic betrayal’: Murkowski slams Trump administration revoking protections for Afghan immigrants www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase. Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13 Young kids: $27 → $10 These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:

Trump’s HHS secretary: Processed foods had resulted in a “genocide” among Native Americans. Trump’s USDA secretary: Terminates the very program that dozens of tribal food banks say has helped them provide fresh, locally produced food @maryhudetz.bsky.social

The nonpartisan CBO has made clear: the GOP tax bill disproportionately benefits the ultra-rich.   Under their "big, beautiful bill," the bottom 10% of earners will see their annual income fall by 2% in 2027 — while the top 10% will see theirs grow by 4%.   That is backwards.

Elle Cordova is absolutely brilliant.

This statement by Don Jr. is disgusting. THEY have made the ultimate sacrifice? If only that were true.

Impressive visualization on the ways that the wealthy have successfully manipulated US politics to avoid paying taxes

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

"This is really not that functionally different than if those guests showed up with satchels of cash or briefcases with stacks of bill and then just dumped it all into a big bucket physically held by the President of the United States," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump's crypto dinner.

“It’s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency,” @PressSec said, before Trump headed to his golf club to dine with 220 people who bought his memecoin, which generates fees for a Trump business entity.

“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” -- U.S. Constitution, Article 1, section 9

I have no words.

The messaging problem is Kamala Harris announced a policy to expand Medicare to cover in-home healthcare on the View but it was more important to discuss whether she actually worked for McDonalds and if she was actually Black or not instead:

Jeffries: "Trump promised to veto any bill that actually would take away benefits from the American people. If that in fact is the case, is he planning on saying to House Republicans tomorrow morning that he's actually going to veto the bill? Or was he once again lying?"

Dear Republicans, Cutting science budgets has not historically been a Republican thing. For example, Lincoln created the National Academy of Sciences. Eisenhower's term increased the science budget 366%. Gerald Ford, +15%; George H. W. Bush, +30%; George W. Bush, +54%. Just sayin’.

🚨From today's @wsj.com: "The [GOP Tax] plan won’t reduce federal budget deficits and would make America’s fiscal hole deeper." "...budget analysts across the political spectrum have panned the Republican plan, warning that it worsens the U.S. fiscal picture." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

It bears mentioning that currently, approx 6% of our population are birthright citizens… a number that would have been higher in 1941-45… which means at least ONE MILLION troops would have been birthright citizens. Our troops in WWII also included 300,000 un-naturalized immigrants. FUCK THIS GUY.

THIS!

Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

The fight to protect Medicaid is getting dire MAGA Republicans already planned to strip healthcare from millions of Americans-cutting the program by $715 billion But that wasn’t good enough for ultra conservatives So now they’re looking to cut even more We. Cannot. Fail. SAVE OUR MEDICAID

"Biden ran a stable, normal government with predictable decision-making and clear values and principles. Donald Trump is taking bribes ... from Middle East nations that fund Hamas ... praising regimes that funded Al Qaeda and contributed to 9/11." Meidas Touch open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Americans, Stop Waiting for America to Look Like What You Think Fascism Will Look Like substack.com/@johnpavlovi...

SHOCKING! The Republican bill does NOT ban tax on tips or overtime. But it does snatch healthcare from millions of Americans to give tax cuts to billionaires! But go ahead, tell us again how Republicans are “pro-family” and “pro-worker.” Video: @repgreglandsman.bsky.social

He doesn’t mean an alternative to politics. He means a political alternative to popular consent.

Every time Republicans control the White House and Congress, they blow up the deficit. As it stands, the GOP’s budget adds $5.3 trillion to it, plus another $900 billion in interest. Meanwhile, they’re telling us we don’t have the money to pay for Medicaid or cancer research for kids. These pricks.

I get that people have to sell books. And I get that DNC Vice-Chair elections matter. But if a Democratic President accepted a $400 million gift from the Qatari royal family, coverage would be breathless, non-stop and wall-to-wall -- no room for any other story.

A decades-long effort at Cornell University to build a medical device to save the lives of babies with heart conditions was thrown on the trash heap by the Trump regime. There's a death toll attached to the recklessness of Trump and Musk.

I think we can officially be done with the Trump/Musk cost-cutting charade. THEY are the waste, fraud and abuse. Example 973, 826:

This is part of a Trump Day One EO. He shut down the refugee resettlement program and said that it could only come back once the program had been changed “to admit only those refugees who can fully and appropriately assimilate into the United States.” For Trump, that means Afrikaners.

“A review of Hegseth’s thesis by The Daily Princetonian, in consultation with three experts on plagiarism, found eight instances of uncredited material, sham paraphrasing, and verbatim copying.”
