Crooked as they come.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Disgrace is too kind
Buy Canadian
Speak Truth......to the FRIGGIN DRAFT DODGER....
Shingles shot, while important and useful, was the only one that gave me flu symptoms for 2 days. Shingles is horrid.
Until America deals with its orginal sin... it will never move forward
Bingo.
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”
Abortion is health care. Families, not governments, should make these decisions.
Abortion care is health care. Trust the women of all America to make these decisions with their physicians, their loved ones, and their spiritual advisors. The government should not be making these choices for families, especially a government led by a child rapist and pervert.

Laura Loomer successfully stops little Gazan kids seriously injured by the IDF from getting medical care in the US. Secretary of State Marco Rubio helped her do it.🤮🤮🤮 www.timesofisrael.com/us-state-dep...
The traitorous Trump capitulates to Putin, then threatens Americans with our own military troops. This is not a real president.
Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.
✅ Confirmed Facts: Sarah Ransome testified in court and to the media that she was repeatedly raped while being trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell. She said, “I was raped three times a day. I wasn’t the only girl. It was a factory of abuse.”
Cuomo: I am now running on affordability. Also Cuomo: there is no “real answer” on affordability.
Undid. It was a tough one
Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?
New resistance anthem just dropped. 🗣️ @sethstatonwatkins.bsky.social
NEVER FORGET SCUM PEDOPHILE Release the list
I apologize for going around your setting Annie but this is one of the most powerful posts I have seen on Bluesky and I agree 10,000,000,000% Everybody should read, contemplate and believe this absolutely.
Republicans work hard to make racism acceptable to their base by vitriolic fear mongering and scapegoating. These people pretend to be good church going Christians while all along their hearts are filled with greed and hate. History will not be kind to them.

Jeffrey who? -NYT, CNN and WSJ on Grand Jury testimony revealing that “Doe 174”, aka Donald Trump, was Epstein’s prized client in his child sex trafficking ring.
Education, health care, housing. Talk about making these better for regular folks every day.
Listen to Pod Save America's interview on this today.
WaPo opinion this morning: Bluesky Bubble Hurts Liberals and their causes. Discuss. Me, never a Twitter girl, relieved to not have the ugly BS in my face.
Tin soldiers and (Nixon) coming, we're finally on our own. This summer, I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio. Life coming full circle, it seems...
Signs: Democracy = Power to the People.
Rural Floyd VA turned out maybe 150 folks of all ages for a joyful No Kings march. Saw a headline saying people who protested the Vietnam War 50 years ago are back out, and here we are
I hate to say it, but the hideous attack on Sen. Padilla came at just the right moment. If you had any doubt about why No Kings Day was so necessary... billmckibben.substack.com/p/on-democra...
The tying of health insurance to employment has been at the heart of our country's horrid system of financing health care. The whole mess needs to be tossed out and restructured. See 🇨🇦
Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

In 1975, I lived for a year in Tucumcari, working with the Eastern Plains Regional Library, a bookmobile service for 7 rural counties. Old Rt 66 ran through the town, bypassed by the interstate, lined with cheap motels.
Truth, beauty, learning, justice: enemies of the state?
😡😡😡😡
Wow.
How about we try protecting them from being shot.
JFC Why you guys cannot say something like what the Canadian PM had said @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social @jasonclaremp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social
Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

The Corporate Media & Press Matzoballers: "How dare Joe Biden pardon Hunter"
Doing time in the slammer? All you need to do is fork over "Get Out of Jail" money (not the kind in the game Monopoly), and you'll walk free as a bird. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1
He's so delightful. But I'm getting bored with his shtick
Sadly, ignorance, willful and otherwise, is wide and deep.
Okay, I’ve GOT to get one of these, lol. 🌮 #TACOTrump
If you put two NYT stories together you do get “man allegedly completely strung out on drugs uses the US government to kill 300,000 people”
I like the suggestion that they only post the ones their dear leader follows.
Love the expression.

Harvard is offering a FREE online course on the US Government & Constitution. Resistance isn't always loud. Knowledge is Power. Spread the word. #MomSky pll.harvard.edu/course/ameri...
Decades later, still waiting for that sweet trickle down.
This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.
Health, housing, and education: Dems will win by emphasizing these.
Health, housing, and education. The household issues that affect the regular folks.
CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.
Agree. This seems like a really bad idea. But, of course, someone's making a lot of money off it. Probably not the gamblers.
Listening to the birds, watching morning roll in
Y’all know what do do on June 14th! Flood the zones! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1
I've never been on Twitter, but if I were, I would post AI images of those weird muscle Trumps next to AI nudes of how he actually looks. I might do it every day.

Change Gonna Come, oh yes, it will.
Here's what I said after the election: Well, they got what they wanted, doubt they'll want what they get
The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.
Translation: she's a black librarian with a PhD.
Maybe he'll put Ivanka or Tiffany in the job. Or Lauren Boebert. Beware of librarians: we might actually believe in free expression.
Marc Elias: "Trump is the walking embodiment of everything that's wrong with the American political system." It's easier for Trump to discredit those reporting on how awful he is, rather than make the effort not to be so awful. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace
A hearing on reparations to the Black community on June 14, 2024. Black history is American history. #MomSky
MUST WATCH: Kentucky said fuck your fascism. They’re in the streets naming every failure of the Trump regime and daring anyone to say something.
‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.
I ❤️ Larry Krasner from afar
Trump invited himself to the U of Alabama - now I am inviting you to Tuscaloosa to show the world that Alabama and the rest of America have had enough. My friend Beto O’ Rourke and I will be in Snow Hinton Park tomorrow so if you are anywhere in the vicinity please come by.
1. The Philadelphia Inquirer isn't owned by a cowardly and conflicted billionaire, but a nonprofit foundation. In 2024, we tackled the "The Trump Threat" of authoritarianism head on, with more than 40 hard-hitting editorials. Many of you took notice, and now, so did the prestigious Poynter Institute
Anything you can do, we can do better 🎶 😁💙
AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.
White privilege is being hired for a job you're not qualified to do, whining about DEI while screwing up again and again and again, and then being given extra time to "get it together" in the future.
O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all of us command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Imagine weaponizing the Capitol Police against a pastor praying for the poor, while pretending to defend “Christian rights.” Rev. Barber’s arrest shows exactly what Trump’s America is: not about faith, but about power and cruelty. Praying for justice is now “breaking the rules.”
