Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) at the National Conservatism Conference this week: “What is an American?” Schmitt asked. "It is a white person. America is a white homeland that organically binds together white people of the past, present and future." What. The. Fuck. slate.com/news-and-pol...
This hot mic Zuckerberg moment show their numbers are all lies, undercutting Trump’s entire economic agenda. In a rational world every media outlet would be leading with it.
It’s a death cult. They want the elderly and poor to die.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
@indivisible.org They are cutting Medicare. We must speak up.

Maximum criminality.
Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.” Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.
Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
Won’t be long now…
Did someone need a baby goat video?? 😊 #bluesky #nature #animals
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
CHICAGO…
The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
These guys should be home with their families.
What a waste of resources.
We make them as uncomfortable as we can. We make they know they are unwelcome. We use our privilege to protect those who are being illegally targeted. Every single person has a choice. Choose wisely. Choose well.
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Pritzker gets it.
I think his time is coming soon. He’s on a very steep downhill slide. 🤞

F*ck‼️ Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.

Mornin’. Twenty eight years married today. No presents. No cards. No need. Just snuck off early to a relatively nearby beach which we had all to ourselves and we watched the sun rise and listened to the reassuring constancy of the sea. That’ll do. That’ll do. #sunrise #morning #wexford #ireland

🌱 Very happy to see a flock of long-tailed tits on our bird feeders today, at the woodland edge (not my photo obviously, they are the size of a small mouse so hard to get close to)

My mum just sent me this photo from Aldeburgh beach and it's lovely. Though obviously quite windy.

Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work. The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared
In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

A university scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in a lake in southeastern Louisiana was abruptly removed from her research position this week without explanation
Off the rails.
But somehow we did. Twice.
“Both of them.”
"How can we communicate with optimism about the future … when we're living in the here and now where American democracy is in peril? … And we're supposed to ignore it? Leave it to others to wrestle with …? No no no no no. … "That is tonight's Last Word on my last day at the Washington Post."
Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.
the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this
news.asu.edu/20250725-env... From an email I received from ASU. Scary information about our future and our children's future "MEGA DRYING REGIONS" all located in the Northern Hemisphere Drying areas on land expanding twice the size of CA every year And of course Trump has NO CLIMATE PLAN
Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man. Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.
ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
Momma and her fur baby…. No DNA test needed…. So freaking adorable… 🥰
Look who kicked the bucket last night. I’ll raise a toast to that!🍻🥂 Have a great weekend.
You need a strong antibiotic. I had that once. I thought I was going to die.
Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.
Who’s that hero out there doing God’s work? They deserve a beer.
Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

Imagine being so desperate to change the Epstein narrative that you start threatening to revoke people’s citizenship and start another trade war.
