I’m shocked that two nations who have been fighting for thousands of years continued fighting even though Trump used all caps in his social media post

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Does JD Vance Boelert know that "back then" Trump was president, and indeed, he's the one who ripped up a deal that was succeeding in preventing precisely what Trump claims he's trying to prevent?

Me to Democratic leadership:

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Today is Juneteenth. Did you know the Constitution in Trump’s endorsed Bible is missing the amendment abolishing slavery? meidasnews.com/news/amendme...

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

No terrorism charges are being brought against the man who shot 2 elected officials and their spouses and dog. But people who vandalize Teslas are classified as terrorists... Fuck this regime

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

This is a distraction [dies in nuclear war].

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, undeterred by protests. But it's okay if you are undocumented in a red state because those farmers and restaurants need people for menial labor jobs It was always about punishing Blue States

Good doggie

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

Thank you for your Service. Again.

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

This yr office, bro?

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

This is one of many reasons why the administration is full of shit with their military nonsense. They don’t care at all about the men and women who serve. They don’t even think of them.

Exactly.

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

The LAPD says there was no violence and they had things under control. The National Guard never even made it to their armories no matter clearing the streets. He’s declared victory and thinks he can dictate masks are illegal. This is a 2:41 AM lunatic post.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

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

Trump incited attacks against law enforcement. He then pardoned the attackers. Now he says he won’t tolerate attacks against law enforcement. But what he means is he feels very comfortable using force against those who disagree with him. In fact few ideas are more core to his presidency. Thugocracy.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Get the sense that attack in Colorado was the work of a single individual and thus hard to prevent. But worth recalling how how many FBI have already been pulled off counterterrorism and other forms of crimes for immigrant round up duty.

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST. Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.

Conservatism, where being scared of everything and whining about it on TV are feats of strength.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Today from Trump: If you're an international student dreaming of coming to the United States to find a cure for cancer, you're out of luck. If you're a washed-up white reality TV star couple with a ton of plastic surgery, here's your get out of jail free card.

It’ll be wise NOT to use BBB. They chose Big Beautiful Bill intentionally to conflate it with Build Back Better. When shit hits the fan, and it will, they will simply blame their disaster on Biden’s Build Back Better, and MAGA’ll believe it. And like clockwork, too many on the left will too.
