Spending a few hours today sobbing in grief and heartbreak over the thousands and thousands of Americans and our loyal and true Allies, our Brothers in Arms, that died so that Freedom could live, so that Good would triumph over evil, so that we’d be safe back home.

D-Day. My g-gpa was there. 90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18. Never voted or loved a woman or had kids. They gave their lives fighting Hitler and the Nazis. For America— for the world.

Can I have everything or nothing

"sir a second strongly worded letter has hit the coup base"

🚨Guys, this is really, really bad.🚨 Remember learning about the 3 branches of government in school? Executive, legislative, & judiciary? They're supposed to be EQUAL. Read this 🧵. Call your congresspeople & senators. Get involved in your community. Run for office. Be loud. Don't be indifferent.

I think that most USians are not paying attention. This is for many reasons (some valid & some not). I believe that some folks don't want to know what's happening because they don't want to have to do anything about it.

More GOP regret Trump votes. Now MAGA farmers & teachers bemoan their choice as he strips funding & shuts down aid programs. Amazing. They could have just LISTENED.🙄 But we NEED them to leave the cult. Here's a resource- leave it open where they find it on their own. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

By summer it’ll probably be a good idea to have enough money at hand outside of your bank to survive for an extended period, have your passports or travel docs in order, identify your nearest border crossing, and make arrangements for extended outdoor living situations. #3E

NEBRASKA FOLKS: “Are we just gonna sit on the couch and let these billionaires control this country? HELL NO! — I almost kinda want to cry.” 🇺🇸 PBS: “Have any of you been paid to be here?” NEBRASKA FOLKS: “No… I’m actually taking work off to be here. I’m losing money.”

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

Look around at all the people who are showing up right now and saying no to these billionaires who are trying to steal our Social Security. All our voices together is why I know that we will have another 89 years where Social Security doesn't miss a single payment. - @alaw202.bsky.social

You were told that it was 'impossible' to dismantle institutions. And abolitionists told you this wasn't true and that there were many institutions that SHOULD BE dismantled. But lots of people can't "imagine" the end of prisons, policing, etc... In reality, every single thing can be dismantled.

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

It's easy to feel like we're giving up our country without a fight. But don't be deceived by polls & media gaslighting. There is a groundswell of resistance rising. The "Fight Oligarchy" tour just packed 15K seats in AZ. We will take our country back Goodnight friends. Keep the faith✊Get some rest

Be like Tina.

Disgusting, even for Trump.

Let me state unequivocally: I do not believe @schumer.senate.gov is the literal impersonation of spineless cowardice, a craven husk of flaccid ideals masquerading as the floppiest invertebrate, a writhing worm awaiting the boot. But he all too frequently has created that impression via his actions.

This 👇 Stop hiding, stop obeying and get organizing.

There was a spike in Google searches for "oligarchy" today. People are waking up. 🍿

I have a complete set of dinnerware for six that I slowly stole from a Shoney's between 1998 and 2002.

Everyone’s like “this can’t be fascism it’s too dumb” but they don’t understand that fascism is in fact almost always very dumb! Fascist dictators are cruel and stupid men. And it’s popular because many people are cruel and stupid!

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! 😂 🎥thesuesgames

BREAKING: The Trump Administration is doubling down on their threats to shut down Social Security. “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

This incredibly brave man has something very important to say to you. Listen to him. This is what patriotism looks like. This, United States of America, is who you used to be. Time to follow real leaders and find yourselves again. Love, Your neighbours to the north.

Hey! What's critical mass and I should you care? Great question, I'd love to tell you about it. Critical mass describes the point where social pressure moves to a point it can no longer be bottled up, causing rapid social change. Learn about it ⬇️ so you can act when the do-or-die moment comes.

The Trump fever is breaking. Voters who once backed him are waking up to economic chaos, broken promises, and buyer’s remorse. Is this the beginning of the end? Read more adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

If Donald Trump is successful in cutting Medicaid, no state has the money to backfill the billions of dollars in funding. Blood will be on the hands of his administration and Republicans in Congress. Now is the time to stand up for Medicaid, working families, and each other.

He'll be cutting FEMA.

If you bury your head in the sand, you put your ass in a dangerous position.

Measles cases top 350 in Texas-New Mexico measles outbreak Also, states reported more international travel-related cases, pushing the overall national total to 378 so far this year. www.cidrap.umn.edu/m...

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

This is a mural on one of the walls of Columbia’s medical center. Keep wearing your mask. It is an essential public health tool.

Friday haikus: #1 Trump and Elon suck They never cared about you It’s all about them #2 Conservationist Wildlife and habitat first We do what we can #3 You must do something Protest, call, write a postcard “Nothing” supports Trump Can you do one (5-7-5)?

Denver has come out to see AOC & Bernie tonight. But, IUPAT President Jimmy Williams just set the crowd alight 🔥 “I have a message to the Democratic Party: GET OFF YOUR ASS! “We are not gonna poll our way out. We are not gonna consult our way out. We are gonna organize our way out." 👏

Sanders: I will tell you what I think the worst addiction in this country is, the most dangerous, and that is the greed of the oligarchs. Everybody wants to do well. These guys already have billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions. How much money do you need?

The National Weather Service is facing significant staffing cuts and has temporarily reduced weather balloon launches at several sites. These balloons are a key tool used by meteorologists to gather data for weather forecast models.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
