If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today. Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.

Honest to god, regular people should NOT HAVE ACCESS to fireworks.

Given the FLOCK of bats we just saw scrambling as sparks and shit and cataclysmic noise showered all over the wee Glen... I don't think the wildlife likes it much, either.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

The greatest scam and anti-society scam ever perpetrated against the public, so that the rich can save a couple of million on their taxes.

I'm cleaning to avoid writing so I can start writing to avoid a reality I can't clean up by myself. Fun times here this month! tlsherwood.com/2025/06/30/p...

Call your wildcard Dems too! Especially if you have ones that seem unaccountably to try to "compromise" with this admin or have before voted in ways that suggest they imagine good-will efforts at collaboration are possible with tyrants.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

America, get your shit together.

Senate Republicans have just moved to proceed to the "big beautiful bill," which would cause the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history while simultaneously cutting taxes for the richest Americans. Thread on the process to follow.

i genuinely dont know what other industry has failed as speculatively as journalism has failed at meeting this moment we are talking about whether zohran is going to do a sharia law while gop has been trying to pass a bill to strip medicaid to pay for concentration camps like

Almost like some things are more threatening to the status quo than others

I would like to live in a world where I don’t have to spend my Friday night poring over Supreme Court arguments to see if I’m about to lose my rights

pls contribute if you can! EL has meant a great deal to me for a long time, but when they took a stand for trans authors instead of compromising for NEA funding, I fell in love all over again. They publish some of the best, most diverse stories out there rn. Let's help keep them strong ⚡️🦇

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

The felon would do anything to take our eyes off ICE, tariffs, stock market, bday bust, eggs & his big ugly bill! How about a war before the Congress votes on it Monday? @daisyd.bsky.social @claynobles.bsky.social @pattyger.bsky.social @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social @phyllisjsilver.bsky.social

BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna calls for all members of Congress to immediately return to DC and vote on his bill to strip Trump of the ability to drag America into war with Iran.

Trump just threatened more (and still congressionally unauthorized!) U.S. military strikes on Iran if they don’t come to the table. More strikes — and even threats of them — endanger the lives of our service members and millions of civilians in the region. It’s clear there is no real strategy here.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

I had to look up number 8 WHATTT nypost.com/2024/11/25/u...

President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites is reckless and draws the US directly into Israel’s war with Iran. This is a war that the American people do not want and the world does not support. We call for Congress to intervene and halt this war.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Our current Director of National Intelligence:

I just called my senators @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social to tell them how opposed I am to this war on Iran & to request that they impeach Donald Trump for starting a war without congressional approval in violation of the US Constitution.

the stable genius who has never worked a single second in his life thinks that everyone else isn’t working enough; that’s it, that’s the joke

As Trump looks for a pretense to increase repression, a new training guide explains how peacekeepers reduce fear and build solidarity.

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."

While regenerative A.I. sounds futuristic, the energy required to power them comes from burning good, old fashioned dinosaur bones If you’re wonder where bazillionares like Elon Musk are building these new toxic, environmentally unfriendly data centers… You must be new here.
