You unfriend people bec of politics? Absolutely! I unfriended some of y’all because you were on Drake’s side during the beef.

286 wolves have been slaughtered in Montana. Today, MT Fish, Wildlife & Parks announced that Region 4 had reached its quota + would close in 24 hours. Immediately, a follow up was sent stating the region is still open to hunting. How many wolves will die before the region actually closes?

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 She created the gas home heating system that was a precursor to the system many people use today. Her name is Alice H. Parker, a Black woman. BTW, that's not her photo. "Say what?" (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy www.blackpast.org/african-amer...

this message is for Gov Mills of Maine. Hi. TY. Love you. 💕⭐️

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

An important point to keep in mind.

#ProudBlue #DemocracyWarriors This is an incredible video. It has great information on how to combat the firehose of information from Trump. It is so worth the listen. I wish I would have had this information years ago. youtu.be/_bW0rz_PneU?...

Surely I just missed the clip of Jake Tapper using his show to take the White House to task for freezing out the AP reporter, like he whined when the Obama White House wouldn’t call on Fox, right?

Same con, different conman

The Department of Education has agreed to temporarily block DOGE from accessing federal student loan data.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

What a weak little man to use a child as a human shield.

Good morning!

Where is DOGE on this expense?

. A Black spy saved George Washington’s life, helped win the Revolutionary War, and still had to buy his freedom. If America really loved Black history, James Armistead Lafayette would have his own blockbuster spy movie by now. Instead, we get another reboot of Batman. #BlackHISTORY

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Donald Trump isn’t very popular around the world. 🤣

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

I feel like Beyonce has a ska record in her

NOW would be a great time to have a VERY PUBLIC and VERY LOUD response from Congressional Democrats on Elon Musk's unchecked takeover of our federal government...
