What are we even doing?
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Imagine the President of the United States having time to make social media posts about a company's logo. Or even thinking that they should weigh in on what a private business does with their logo. This country has gone batshit crazy.
Heard it for the first time in a long time, on the radio yesterday. Great song, ages well!
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
Trump says immigrants must prove ‘good moral character’ — this from the guy who paid hush money to a porn star, stole from his own charity, and tried to overturn an election.
Gilead.
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
Honestly, the funniest thing about this is that over the past 50 years, there have been more Republican presidents who were male cheerleaders than those who have been in combat.
The Idiocracy.
More dumbing down in order to fill the ranks with loyalists. Meanwhile in some countries in Europe you can't even be a regular police officer without a bachelor's degree and/or years of training.
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
The depravity just continues and continues.
Donald Trump complaining about violent crime in DC is rich.
“Bleak and soulless”. You nailed it.
Hideous. But how could we expect anything else?
Meanwhile, I get fined for not predicting my yearly retirement income far enough in advance to make estimated tax payments.
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
Before DJT, William McKinley was considered the most corrupt President in US history. It took Teddy Roosevelt a massive effort, to get the Republic back from the Oligarchs. traffic.libsyn.com/yinhistory/E...
And every year, Apple employees have to sit through mandatory compliance training only to watch the CEO publicly violate it. www.apple.com/compliance/p...
This is being misreported, and I think it's important to correctly frame it, so that folks don't sound clownish when they're advocating for trans service members. The Air Force is denying *early retirement* to trans service members who have served 15-18 years and are being forced out. (thread)
What about "medium well" and "medium rare"? How are they faring?
In Alabama, another horrible ICE detention story— pulled over for going 1 mile over the speed limit and then put into detention, a woman who earned a masters degree and has become a beloved community advocate. Not a criminal. Someone who contributes to America. www.al.com/news/2025/08...
Hahahaha!
So they want to stop poor people from having abortions but they also want to stop poor people from preventing unwanted pregnancy. Got it.
Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it. Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.
That one between those two countries. Those three that all happened close together. That one where both sides are our friends. And the one that lasted 500 years. Get the man a Nobel Prize! 🤢
Seriously though, who hasn't cut a billionaire sex trafficking best friend out of their life after he poached one of your 16-year-old "spa attendants" from your golf-course country club of rich old white men? The fucking nerve, amiright?
That was my question too. Doesn't it all have to go through appeals courts first?
It’s got groove. It’s got meaning.
I lived in El Paso. Avg daytime high in June is 97°. Avg low in Dec is 32°. The temperature on a single day can easily swing by 20-30 degrees. On top of the sheer cruelty of these massive deportation efforts, these people will be subjected to extreme temperatures while living in tents in the desert.
It's just so beautiful!
That is such excellent news!!!
Of course he did. Always trying to block the things that they themselves do undercover. "Get rid of kiddy porn (except on my own computer)". "Get rid of abortions (except for my daughter or girlfriend)". "Deport all the illegals (except for my landscaper, housekeeper and nanny)"
That was my thought also. Somebody somewhere has the complete, unredacted file with nothing removed from it...
For sure.
What an idiot.
A BC is not required for a driver's license in my state. And a DL is about all a person needs in order to do the things that you've mentioned. Maybe this article will help you understand. interfaithalliance.org/post/the-sav...
Yet at the same time, they attack Harvard and other universities, claiming they are being “too political” and may be in violation of their tax-exempt status.
Because Stalin did it so well.
Apparently these numbnuts stopped reading at “Stalin used urban dwellers to work the farms”.
Oh, don’t worry. It’s only if they’re on Medicaid. You know, also poor, with the least amount of individual power to stand up for their rights. This whole situation is disgusting.
Geez, still rough on the neck. Maybe it needs a strap that they can rest their forehead on if they want. Farm workers are incredibly hard-working.
Just pure natural beauty.
Not only chain emails, but chain snail mail, back in the day!
It is political.
"With best wishes, I am. Sam"
Haha, that gave me a good laugh! I'm assuming that it will only be funny to people of a certain age :)
Of course it did. Aviation sales experts expect private jet purchases to increase dramatically this year.
July 4, 2025. I REAFFIRM: “A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may DEFINE A TYRANT, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people" - The Declaration of Independence
First, it’s unconstitutional. Second, it’s a solution in search of a problem. Third, many people do not have a copy of their birth certificate and getting one requires a good amount of effort and also paying a fee. I could go on and on, but the first sentence is the most important.
Lunacy. They just funded Trump’s private army.
Wow, that golden color is magnificent!
I agree. Why should people who get tips not have to pay taxes on that when people that are working normal jobs pay taxes on all their income? And why should overtime not be taxed? Some firefighters make $25-50K in overtime and yes, they should pay taxes on it.
They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.
Oh, so American citizens can pay who knows how many millions of dollars to send stealth bombers with 14 Bunker Busters to Iran, but we’re not entitled to know whether that mission was successful. Got it.
What a bunch of charlatans.
Cute pic, Robin!
"We love you, God. Christ reigns over all, but he’s a bit of a commie, let’s be honest. We pray to you, oh God, that your Son, our Savior, turns away from Marxism. No, we don’t know Marxism, but to be fair, we also don’t know Christianity." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/we-dont-re...
And they don’t show up in some electric blue pick up truck and random small cars.
And those ridiculous sneakers!
Meal Team Six strikes again. These people are scumbag wannabes in their masks and tennis shoes, just living to beat up old men who are not white.
Is this Ireland? Beautiful light.
“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...
CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...
This.
I assume Trump's political appointees including those in the Cabinet would be interested in knowing whether all of their private, vetting info turned over to the White House has gone directly into Russian, Chinese and Iranian spy agencies for future exploitation and blackmail.
Sorry. This is very raw. But what’s happening in LA right now is absolutely horrific. #iceraids
It’s because he only wants to do things that make him and his family money, while at the same time, his demented brain is twisted by the likes of Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth.
Seems like everything related to Musk blows up at some point. And our tax dollars are funding this crap.
So much for MAHA.
Oh, I totally missed the point about the freedom fries at first, but I was stunned at the low cost for the food!
Hahaha!
It’s like accidentally saying “Love you” at the end of a business call because you’re so used to saying it at the end of a phone conversation with your family! I don’t know anything about this guy, but I do believe it was an honest slip.
Right? Running, fighting, escaping from people who look like this is something that's drilled into our heads from the time we are a little girls.
They’re not even bothering with the fake ICE costumes anymore. This should feel unacceptable to every single person in America.
I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
SCOOP: The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.
🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful! I was out front with my vomiting dog on a recent night at 2am. Next day, I looked at my security camera footage and saw a cougar walking past the same spot about a half an hour prior. First one I’ve seen in four years of living here.
You could listen to the actual press conference, and then you would hear what was said.
There are definitely wannabes out there who see the current environment as the perfect circumstance to do what this person did. The worst mass murderer in Canada used a replica police vehicle and uniform during his crime spree.

USMC Ret. Lt. Colonel Joe Plenzler deployed with the same Marine battalion now heading to Los Angeles. Marines training for war are now being deployed against American citizens. This crosses a dangerous line. Brothers, remember your ethos, #RememberYourOath.
He hires incompetent people so that he can put all the blame on them when things go wrong.

Post is a few months old (yeah, feels like years, doesn't it?). The numbers are shocking, and it's an incredible blow to the uncompensated victims, not to mention our justice system. This person is a former DOJ pardon attorney and you can learn more about these pardons on her Instagram feed.
It is assault.
Anyone still believe that Trump or Hegseth have any respect for military members?
i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone
Dems need to go to town on these idiots instead of letting them off with “OK, bring it back when you have time.” The gravity of this situation is immense.
Exactly! Enough of this lightweight questioning from Dems. “Oh it’s OK that you likely violated the constitution and can’t even cite your source even though you’re the head of the DOD. Just get back to us when you have time.”
Trump just wasted $130,000,000 on his political stunt mobilizing the military to L.A. Are you OK with this waste of taxpayer dollars?
Exactly as I predicted months ago, RFK Jr. has purged ACIP, almost certainly as a prelude to stacking it with his preferred antivax quacks. www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...
That is stunning!
"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
What a disgusting pig.
