Not fast enough, enabling mom.
This can’t be accurate because Trump said we took in like $17 trillion in tariffs.
Charlie Kirk once said some gun deaths 'worth it' in order to have Second Amendment www.snopes.com/fact-check/c... Fact Checked.
This land is your land, and this land is my land. From California to the New York Island! From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters! This land was made for you and me!
WIN WIN. Elon lets do Ken Paxton next, please.
Release the Epstein files. We don’t care about party. Hold them all accountable! But think about it: why is Trump trying to stop the Epstein files from coming out? He’s not doing it to protect Bill Clinton.
Trump’s takeover of DC has left National Guard Troops raking leaves, spreading mulch, and cleaning. Work the Park Service used to handle before budget cuts. Those who serve our country deserve better than being used as props in Trump’s power plays. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
🎥 NEW: End Citizens United President @tiffanymuller.bsky.social and @brennancenter.org President and CEO @mawaldman.bsky.social sat down to talk about the important work of protecting our democracy. Watch here:
🚨The National Guard is now picking up trash in D.C. These images will not make recruiting brochures.
MEMPHIS—FedEx filed a notification detailing 611 layoffs at its facilities in Shelby County less than a year after raking in huge corporate tax breaks from Gov. Bill Lee. Exhibit ♾️ that trickle down economics is really just welfare for the rich.
Thoughts and prayers from the NRA, CPAC, RNC and Mar-a- Lago (all gun-free zones)
Exactly
WEAPONS OF WAR SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL ON OUR STREETS, FULL STOP. If you can’t protect yourself, your property with one handgun, which is your right then you have problems. If you need a semiautomatic weapon to hunt, your not hunting deer or game. We need to prioritize protecting our children.
Deployed National guard & impaneled a grand jury, for a sandwich thrown at a federal agent but we can’t pass legislation to ban weapons of war to protect our children. WTAF Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Tulsi Gabbard is trying to gaslight you in the name of authoritarianism, points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
Downtown Miami now, biggest protest crowd I've seen since 2020 (not including the solidarity protests for Cuba in 2021)
Marching past Trump Tower Chicago. It’s hard to show from ground level how huge this crowd is. The “No Kings” protesters keep coming.
Great job, Columbia!
"We are watching the rule of law be undermined entirely." New York State Senator Michelle Hinchey gave a fiery speech denouncing the militarized response to the LA protests.
Thousands of protesters turned out in downtown Dallas.
No Kings rally in Arlington, Texas.... #NoKings #Texas Folks as far as the eyes can see... I can't even see where the protests ends... Peaceful... Signs read >> "No power to tyrants" "No kings" "We have no kings" youtu.be/iCU5JCg0E58?...

Democratic congressional leaders are calling for heightened security on Capitol Hill after a pair of Minnesota state lawmakers were shot in their homes early Saturday. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many
YES #LosAngeles ! ♥️
Massive #NoKings march in New York City!
Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.
Two leaders who enjoyed their job serving the American people. #NoKings
Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.
Imagine being such an asshole that everyone on Earth is happy that it's raining on your birthday party
I am horrified by the news out of Minnesota. The targeted attacks on Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman and their families is heartbreaking. Political violence has no place in America.
Good one! 😂
It’s disgusting that the Pentagon went from being run by a highly decorated 4-star General to a trashy tacky rapist drunkard buffoon from Fox Propaganda. That goes for everything Dept in the US Govt now. American democracy is in mortal danger and it’ll take decades to repair the damage.
BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing? BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir BESSENT: Job growth is solid BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir
So Trump sends troops into L.A. for show—and doesn’t even pay them. The incompetence of the Trump regime never ends… 🚨 Guard Soldiers Deployed in Trump's LA Crackdown Aren't Getting Paid Yet.
🚨 ICE has a mandate to deport 3,000 people per DAY. And they’re using an APP with HEAT MAPS to round people up. Please watch and share!!
An ad on Craigslist for “seat fillers and extras to provide their time for space maximization and attendance perception for an event taking place in Washington DC on June 14th” —- people need to be paid to show fake support for Trump — $1k in crypto

Call your 2 Senators. Tell them to vote NO on the Big Ugly Budget Bill: 📞 (202) 224-3121
To clarify, the United States has $134 million to send troops to LA to stifle dissent, but no money for food or healthcare. Got it. #FreedomToDissent
Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.
Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Send this thread to every fiscal conservative you know.
Jesus Christ... the *entire Fulbright Board* at the State Department just resigned rather than cooperate for a second longer with this monster and his patently illegal schemes.
We need more members of Congress, a co-equal branch of government, speaking out against Trump's intentional escalation of the situation in LA. Tell Congress to push back and oppose Trump's fascist use of the National Guard here: bit.ly/449vUkP #ResistTrump
🚨Secret police! Do you accept secret police? My family fled from Argentina where secret police jailed my grandfather & killed my dad's best friend's father as well as about 30,000 other Argentinians. When people conceal their identities, no one's safe! Anyone could be taken, even me and you.
Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.
ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.
And the 67% of us who didn’t vote for him—Musk’s vote-flipping algorithm in the swing states and Texas did. @thecommoncoalition.bsky.social report dropped last week: thecommoncoalition.com/wp-content/u... This is not human generated data.
DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services (that are efficient!) for basically nothing in return.
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?
Well done to our friends in Canada for electing a leader who will protect them and their interests instead of MAGA trash. You are definitely much smarter and wiser than many of the hateful despicable buffoons here in the United States who chose a grotesque criminal felon. 🇨🇦
President Biden’s White House displayed signs of love, compassion, acceptance and tolerance on the lawn during his administration. The MAGA regime are now displaying the mugshots of immigrants they’ve arrested. The very definition of Love VS Hate.
This from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social is very worrying and also important
White supremacist Stephen Miller was on Fox Propaganda touting the orange felon’s “accomplishments” such as ending production of the penny, ending federal support for paper straws and getting JFK files declassified. Those aren’t accomplishments, that’s just fucking embarrassing.
Propagandist sycophant Karoline Leavitt accuses Amazon of committing a hostile political act for planning to show the additional cost of trade war tariffs next to the price of items. No, it’s called transparency, consumers will be paying extra due to the trade war tariffs.
Can’t stop watching this smooth yet piercing shade.
The orange felon promised his MAGA cult major savings and well needed cuts yet in just 100 days he has spent/wasted about $220B more than last year on nothing but evil actions and fraudulent backend deals. They fell for his con.
MAGA: We love trade war tariffs and other countries will pay for them for us. Also MAGA: We don’t want companies showing price hikes caused by the trade war tariffs because we are a cult.

Anyone still doubting the GOP is a cult?
This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?
It was a world historical fumble that changed the trajectory of America in a way we won't recover from in my lifetime.
Here's this appellate order against the Trump admin in the Colorado AEA case: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Notably, the panel includes a Trump appointee, Judge Joel Carson, and another Republican appointee, Judge Harris Hartz (GWB). Judge Gregory Phillips is an Obama appointee.
The 10th Circuit US Court of Appeals has DENIED the govt a stay of a state-wide temporary restraining order against removing aliens under the Alien Enemies Act without 21 days notice, in a language the alien understands, advising of his or her right to bring a challenge in habeas.
Dear @schumer.senate.gov, I’m a constituent. Please vote YES on S.J. Res 49. It'll block Trump’s use of a national emergencies statute to justify his tariffs We are depending on you to defend our jobs, healthcare, freedoms, & future. #DemsGrowASpine #CallYourSenator #PGAS app.sosha.ai/s/e2sIk0FM
at his rally in Michigan, Trump plays a propaganda video of prisoners having their heads shaved at the Gulag in El Salvador to big cheers from the crowd and "U-S-A!" chants
Politicizing the Holocaust Museum, targeting the National Museum of African American History — all of it is a strategy to pit communities against one another and whitewash history.
Someone just flagged this to me. Top of my reading list tonight. Probably the most in the open example of presidential corruption in US history. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio believes it is “too late” to combat the economic fallout of Trump’s tariffs and says the world economic order, with the US at the center, is breaking down.
My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

Never has the double meaning of May Day been more important! Mayday, mayday.
Pritzker: If you're not out there protesting in front of a Republican congressman's office, or out in the street making your voice heard, or calling your friends in another state to have them do it.. then you're not doing what's necessary to put pressure on them to vote the right way.
MORAN: Even some people who voted for you are saying, 'I didn't sign up for this.' So how do you answer those concerns? TRUMP: Well, they did sign up for it actually
We made a deliberate choice as a nation, until now, not to have a police state. We siloed off federal data and put in place laws, regulations, policies and internal norms to prevent the federal government from putting together everything it knows about you into one place. Trump is ending all that.
I don't know what would actually count as a new low anymore but this is a contender.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
UPDATED TIME: 4-7pm We thank you for your patience!! In response to Trump’s uninvited visit, the students are speaking out, the community is speaking out and so is 50501 Alabama to say “We don’t want you here!” Make your way to Tuscaloosa this Thursday, May 1st and stand in solidarity!
Yes, Lindsey Graham I'm sure the cardinals are looking for a convicted felon also found liable for abusing women and fined $360 million for committing financial fraud Who lies incessantly, deports cancer stricken children, violates the human rights of immigrants and imprisons them in gulags 🙄

Community note on defense secretary Pete Hegseth’s tweet
Congressional Democrats could send a criminal referral to DOJ and the 50 states for this and other DOGE activity. There needs to be a greater understanding that these guys are breaking laws and will some day be held accountable.
There are a crazy amount of starlink satellites in the sky in northern Michigan. All of the perfectly round white dots are satellites. Are there always so many? This is the night sky app. I feel like I’m being watched. Creepy.
The President of the United States is utterly out of control and possibly out of his mind, and only the Supreme Court of the United States can deliver the absolutely vicious permanent slapdown this moment requires. If that does not happen, the options for Americans appear to dwindle precipitously.
