(🚨) WAIT... WHAT?? Agents of Red Sea co-conspirators and Trump business partners MBS, MBZ, and el-Sisi were secretly in the White House as Trump agreed to go to war with their enemy Iran? How is this not the big news right now? How is this not bigger than every other story major media is covering?

might be worth writing your reps and asking them to speak out for/endorse Mamdani. I don't know that that will work, but people need to hear from their constituents that this is not okay.

The Republican public lands selloff is back, and just like the waking dead, it won't go away. This time it would require the sales of up to 1.2 million acres of BLM land near towns. That's where much of the outdoor recreation infrastructure exists. Call your senators and representatives.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all. Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.

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.

In Florida, “free speech” and “institutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with “race” in the title is censored for violated the law. Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

Makes me think abt the comment by a guest on @gregsargent.bsky.social ‘s podcast yesterday. The correct response to their fascism is not outrage; you can’t shame them bec they are proud of their behavior. Rather- we must call them out on their fascism while showing them we are not afraid

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.
