A cool thing about our government systems is that when a cop got shot a few days ago literally everyone in the county got multiple screeching phone alerts letting us know about it but when a tornado was about to wreck our shit it was almost impossible to find current, accurate information.

That's why.

Governor Wes Moore. Governor Tim Walz. Congressman Clyburn. Chair Christale Spain. We brought the boldest leaders in the country to SC, and we’re just getting started. #DemWeekend2025

Elon Musk’s full-throttle assault on Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is less about fiscal policy and more about bruised ego, insiders say, claiming the billionaire is “b-tthurt.”

WTF people?!!!! We live in an authoritarian state now? Yes, we f’ing do! #unmask #bluecrew #pinks #standup #speakout

US stocks back to flat for the year. Meanwhile, Poland, Spain, Greece, Austria, Italy, Germany UP 30% to 40%. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

The American tax payer funds America. Law enforcement therefore, should not be masked from the public. Law enforcement who would compromise themselves due to undercover, should not be assigned to raids or warrant searches. Let’s not forget who the government is supposed to be there for,the people.

Breaking down 4 reasons why this presidency will likely go down as the most corrupt presidency in American history. 🧵🎥👇🏻

Someone just sent me a group email making the case for Jamie Dimon for president. No. No more rich oligarchs

REPORT: “Since Election Day, Elon Musk’s staggering net worth has increased by over $100 BILLION” @SenWarren’s office just prepared this report about how Elon enriched himself after buying the election for Trump: www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

The entire Federal Reserve Board should be embarrassed by this outrageous giveaway to one of Wall Street’s most derelict banks.   The Fed must release Wells Fargo’s exam reports for the last five years to the Senate Banking Committee so that Congress can review them.

The original TT post read “we were diverted going to Dallas to Nashville on Southwest for “gas-fill-up” WTAF! TSA has screened & can stop boarding like any military state country Night Vision in Broad daylight? Opening bags with passengers on board? They aren’t trained agents.

Lawrence: That is the budgetary cycle we've been in since the 1980s. Republican presidents increased the deficits. Democratic presidents from Bill Clinton forward come into office and reduce the deficits created by the Republican presidents.

Another judge just ordered govt to reveal its deal with Bukele to another alien sent to CECOT. A magistrate judge in Columbus, GA (MDGa) did so in the case of Venezuelan EDQC, sent to CECOT on 3/15 without opportunity to raise a fear-of-torture claim. 1/5 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Incredible but for once I agree with the fly whisperer.

President Zelensky and First Lady in a bomb shelter with children who today received the Future of Ukraine awards. This is resilience. This is war.

Before E Pluribus Unum appeared on US coins (1795) & long before In God We Trust (1864/1957), there was Mind Your Business (1776). The Continental Dollar, designed by Ben Franklin. Believed to be meant both literally & socially, the message also appeared on the One Cent piece in 1787. My copies:

Join the FOX Takedown in front of FOX headquarters, 499 N Capitol St NW, D.C., and tell them that we will NOT accept their sane washing coverage of and normalizing this administration.

Comparing 2 evils ICE vs Gestapo *Power to arrest w/o warrant *Power to imprison w/o trial *Power to deport *No Habeus Corpus *No Gov't oversight *Concentration camps I don't see any difference

Remembering when a coworker laughed at me and a few other women who were talking about having been at the first DC Women's March. He thought it was hilarious how we were overreacting.

Oh look another asshole to destroy our country. No Kings June 14th Stand up, fight back 💪🏼 #nokings

Good for Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders. My point of reference is from following @cnn.com, and if what he’s done there is any way representative of his talents, I would say that my Corgis could do a better job. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

the masked cops thing feels very jarring, it is clear and it's scary, but also the masks also feel like just the most obvious demonstration of how police are already a near-total black box into which public information disappears and that's just routine

it is truly remarkable how this administration is committed to be awful and wrong about literally everything, just making everything worse all at the same time

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

CSPAN could go public and become the media play of the century if it started covering Congress like this. ht: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

All but declared…all that’s missing is suspension of the constitution, habeas corpus and the US military. But we are close to martial law in this moment and it’s getting hard to tell the difference.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

Wild dog, no thank you

What this country is suffering from is too much money and power in the hands of too few people who don’t possess compassion and empathy for their fellow countrymen. I’m not talking about dividing their wealth, but have them chip in a higher percentage, they can afford it.
