If the god of the Bible was all knowing and loving, looks like the Commandments might have been things like wash your hands before you eat, after the bathroom; boil water before using; slavery or subjugation based on gender or identity are wrong; etc. Kinda makes you think the Bible isn't divine!

“His return is a vivid example of the dysfunction eating away at the Democratic Party nationally. For the last decade, a group of uninspiring politicians have stomped out competition and held on to power.” @nytimes.com @maragay.bsky.social

A number of provisions have been thrown out of the Big Beautiful Bill because of violations of the Byrd rule. This includes pretty much all the Banking Committee provisions, including the defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of Financial Research. All these are gone:

Mind-bending! I can only conclude most are too ignorant to understand that Trump is Obama's legacy! "A Gallup poll earlier this year showed Obama is by far the most popular living president, with 6 in 10 Americans and even 1 in 5 Republicans having a favorable opinion." amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

It's time for a 21st Century version of the Archie Bunker Show bc sadly we need another parody of the Right's insanity, which Caroll O'Connor played brilliantly, and against his own character, to highlight the insanity of Trump and his base. youtu.be/OMKAIdXP_U8?...

@chrisccuomo.bsky.social WTH happened to you? 🤯 Now you're trying to bait @aoc.bsky.social into supporting Israel's attack on Iran, by pushing the lie that Iran is the aggressor? Just wow! You've become such a hack, nothing more than a propaganda tool for the right. Just so sad!

Hey @democrats.senate.gov & @housedemocrats.bsky.social... your silence around this speaks volumes! How bout a plan to prosecute EVERY law enforcement agent, military member, political appointee who violates the Constitution, Civil Rights, or an unlawful order? youtube.com/shorts/elqr4...

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

America is now a failed country, a banana republic! Our government does not feed, house, educate, employ, protect, provide health care, or otherwise invest in our people... terrifying, disgusting and so very sad! www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/old...

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by at least 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Research demonstrates it only takes about 3% of the population to stand up in order to have an impact. Imagine if everyone who objects to Trump just stopped working... just refused until he was removed from office. It would be hard economically, I know. But it may be all we have left!

How utterly disgusting! This man bought this zebra just for the "wow factor"--No concern for the fact this is a sentient being with needs, feelings, relationships with the herd from which he was taken. This is speciesism, and the height of human narcissim! www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Dear National Guard and U.S. Marine Corps personnel - Your oath to the Constitution comes before anything else. Before any one man or woman in office. Even before the President. No one is asking you to defy a lawful order. No one is asking you to betray your fellow soldiers or the public.

Yeah... no sympathy for this guy! At the end of the day, he voted for someone who promised to make his life better by HARMING OTHER PEOPLE!! Let that sink in... this guts and his compatriots were willing to harm others so they could benefit. Nope! Unacceptable! No sympathy from me!

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!
