So true 😂 America hates Trump as much as the entire world does.
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.
Newsom v. Trump: a federal court granted our injunction, blocking Trump’s illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The ruling is clear: Trump is breaking the law by trying to create a national police force with himself as its chief.
Good. Age & term limits need to be placed on every elected official. Judges & politicians should only hold their positions for 8 to 10 years, 72 mandatory retirement age, full financial & tax transparency & trading stock should be forbidden for any public office. This is called common sense.

Once this fascist nightmare ends, predict Noem will be indicted for her illegal & inhumane actions against immigrants & American citizens.
This should be Trump & his grifting family. Behind bars.

180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
The Trump family’s historic, obscene corruption continues. The right wing freaked out over Hunter for allegedly making a fraction of this, meanwhile the Trumps are doing this all out in the open and they are silent. 🦗 🦗 www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
The 5th Circuit Friday upheld sections of a Texas voter suppression law, reversing a district court’s decision that found the provisions violated Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
My limited budget forced me to minimize my entertainment subscriptions. Bravo @netflix.com for proudly standing by democracy. I’m happy to reinstate my Netflix subscription given their noble efforts to stand up to fascism, which many cowardice corporations aren’t willing to do. Thank you Netflix❣️
Dear India, welcome to the gaslighting world of convicted felon Trump. America’s nightmare. Everything that comes out of this grifter’s mouth is a lie. 🤷🏻♀️ Easily proven lies. What do you expect from a criminal?
The country is being run by a failed reality tv star, drug and alcohol addicts, and fox news hosts.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
MAGA is already questioning Trump’s policies & Epstein handling. Starting to realize they’re going to lose their healthcare & civil liberties, while paying more in taxes. Significant # MAGAs are pissed off in TX. Without Trump the house of cards falls. It’s just a matter of how fast will it happen.
However, I live in Texas. MAGA country. The tide is already turning against this WH Admin. Actually shocked that’s already happening. When Thiel’s Project 2025 policies start to really hurt rural areas game over. And Vance is such a weak candidate, hated by everyone, including MAGA. They will turn.
The insatiable oligarchy that has its fangs in American democracy feels emboldened now. Their massive narcissism & thrill for cruelty prevents them from seeing how truly impossible their greedy objective is. We’ve enjoyed 249 years of freedom. Americans won’t quietly become an Autocracy.
Vance & Thiel think it’s going to be easier when Trump is out of the picture. They have a rude awakening coming their way. Without Trump, MAGA falls apart. We’re ALL waiting for the convicted felon to drop dead.
Because mainstream media has been captured by oligarchs, who are in cahoots with Thiel’s #Project2025 & his Hertiage cronies.

Arrested while serving the country WTF Border patrol agents arrested two firefighters Wednesday, who they say were in the United States illegally, while they were working to contain Washington state’s biggest wildfire‼️
I live in Texas. I’m screwed.
👀
No kidding. The damage oligarch rule is strategically doing to our government agencies (that protect our healthcare, environment, civil liberties & economy) is devastating. America will feel this ruin for decades, but BOTH parties are pissed off at this illegal authoritarian power grab. Fighting Mad
The Felon is desperate to stop MAGAs jumping ship. They’re just placating the bottom of the barrel cult members, gullible QAnon followers who gleefully believe obvious nonsense. Speaks volumes about where Trump’s handler’s level of panic is sitting. 😁 Amusing.
Higher education enriches critical thinking skills. GOP has been defunding public education for decades, since Gingrich in the 90s, for this very reason. Uneducated, poor people get stuck in survival mode, tragically making them better sheep. Insatiable oligarchs trying to create a 2025 slave class.
Dang this was good! Wow. If you’re a Queen fan, this is a must watch. Incredible. 🩵
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
Welcome to Texas where our politicians are blatantly corrupt. Paxton was indicted 8 yrs ago for fraud, but never went to trial. Our corrupt Texas Supreme Court looked the other way. How this criminal is still holding the highest law enforcement office in the state is insane. Screams CORRUPTION. 🤷🏻♀️
apparently a little less of the communal love vibe at burning man this year
RFK Jr is also an animal abuser, wife beater, xenophobe & sexual predator with multiple credible sexual assault allegations against him. This man meets all the lowlife requirements to be in the Felon/Nazi WH admin/cabinet full of narcissistic predators, grifters & grossly unqualified individuals.
Anyone need a Sunday smile? Here ya go! 😁🩵
AKA Genocide. The world clearly sees Putin’s heinous war crimes. You can’t run from your sins Russia. The capitulation & evil deeds of the Russian government will have lasting international consequences.
"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle"
Correct, but Trump has something they can’t buy, cult-like status among the uneducated & religious fringe. Heritage will try to push Vance forward, but he’s such a bad politician & his insincerity so transparent, nobody likes him. That includes MAGA.Vance will not succeed even w/GOP election rigging
True. However, only thing holding together the die hard MAGA base is Trump. That rural right wing base is starting to feel the impact of Trump’s oligarch agenda, which is pissing them off. Vance will be thrown at MAGA when Trump’s health tanks. Fortunately, everyone hates Vance. Everyone.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Yep. Excessive greed has many evils.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
WTF?

If prayer really worked, I would have woken up to an enormous headline this morning.
Bravo @netflix.com ❣️
📌It was a huge week for Upper Midwest Democrats who once again won big at the polls, watched the political demise of a pair of Republican stalwarts, and looked on in horror as the Republican Party of Death put gruesome actions to their toxic words: “WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.”
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 America stands with Chicago.
Go Gavin 💥🤣
Can’t forget hearing the convicted felon & adjudicated rapist admit to Billy that he was a proud sexual predator. Anyone who still voted for Trump after hearing this taped confession has serious moral & ethical issues, especially ANY woman who enabled this perverted man w/power by voting for him.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is asking a federal judge for a gag order against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”
Trump won’t be well enough to fight that fight or campaign for a 2028 run. He’s dementing before our eyes & his health appears to be deteriorating quickly. The Felon is ill.
When you politically recruit religious cult members & people on the fringe of society, by telling them everything they want to hear (while simultaneously laughing at them) this is what you get; crazy on steroids.
The demented felon’s narcissism is so out of control rotten, he’s oblivious to the fact that the ENTIRE WORLD is laughing at him. Trump is an American embarrassment as he continues to humiliate himself daily. 🤦🏻♀️ Shockimg how stupid this man truly is. #FelonNaziWHRegime
Give me a fraking break. 🤦🏻♀️
How does this worthless sellout look at himself in the mirror. Shameful little man.
James Tate The shooter was a radicalized terrorist.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
Just leaving this here 🧐

Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
The mayor of Minneapolis, where a gunman killed at least two children and injured 17 other people during morning Mass at a Catholic Church, said "thoughts and prayers" were not a sufficient response. “Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."
We’ll wait…🤔
a friend finalized her dual citizenship to an EU country today and this is what it feels like to be a dog at the shelter watching another dog get adopted
A Ukrainian drone strike hit the Petrov Val railway station in Russia’s Volgograd region. This particular site was already subject to drone attacks several days ago.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Netanyahu is considered a war criminal by most Americans & Israelites. No hypocrisy here. The world has witnessed his crimes & evil.
RFJ Jr is a heroine addict, who sadistically tortured & killed animals for fun. Does anyone honestly think this man gives a shit about public health? He’s pure evil.
Everything in the Felon’s Oval Office looks like it’s from a garage sale. Cheap & cheesy, just like the tacky grifting inhabitants.
Do Sorbo & Baio get offered acting jobs anymore? 😂
Who’s actually dumb enough to believe this evil piece of xenophobic trash? 🤦🏻♀️
A gasoline shortage is headline news in today's Russian papers, which report: “Russia on the verge of a full-scale fuel crisis” and “In Primorye [Russian Far East] & Khabarovsk region drivers report kilometre-long queues at gas stations.” #ReadingRussia

BREAKING: Fed Governor Lisa Cook just now after Trump tried to fire her: “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign and will continue my work to support the U.S. economy”
Abusing the military & infringing on states rights is also an issue w/some MAGAs, which again, have never ever questioned anything Trump has said or done. Feel splintering MAGA is going to be a really big issue for Thiel & Trump. Americans aren’t partial to fascism. We’ve enjoyed 246yrs of democracy
Shocked when a MAGA I work w/started questioning T’s policies & ICE. Never ever have I ever heard 1 bad word from a MAGA about Trump. Never. ICE’s illegal & unconstitutional kidnapping has pissed off every Republican I know. Discarding due process & sheer cruelty of ICE will be their downfall.
Excellent speech @govpritzker.illinois.gov❣️ America stands behind you. I live in MAGA land down in Texas, some of those Republicans & MAGAs are starting to wake up to the reality they enabled. Seeing the MAGA base start to fracture over the orange Felon’s unconstitutional power grab & unethical ICE.
Between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the DOJ official who tried to extort a plea out of him with threats of trafficking him to Uganda, there is someone who committed a crime. But that someone isn't Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Welcome to Texas, where they condone violence against women & minorities. This is nothing new to voters here. Texas is a shit hole state when it comes to equal rights, healthcare, education, protecting the environment, voters rights & human rights. Political corruption is not a secret down here.
This sounds like legitimate thoughts & opinions Vance would vomit, but I’m wholly against AI putting fake words in the mouth of any real person, no matter who it is. This should be illegal.
Just to be clear: Kilmar Abrego García is in custody and will probably be trafficked to a dangerous country, not because he has done anything wrong, but because Donald Trump is a vicious simpleton and Pamela Jo Bondi is an easily corrupted incompetent.
