While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E
This is absolute truth. Add in I've read the Book of Mormon & done a little bit of Jehovah Witness readings. I'm not being arrogant when I tell Bible thumpers that I probably know their book BETTER than them..I'm WARNING THEM to not TEST ME🤷♀️
Evangelical take over. Been in the works for decades. These people are dangerous. The same who burned women as witches. They choose to remain wilfully ignorant.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
Not listening to Black women is going to be the reason America collapses. That is all.
If a Democratic president starting sending Blue state national guard troops to occupy a red city as a power grab, the GOP officials in that state would arrest the invading guard troops to send a message that they are defending their sovereignty.
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
Saddle up kids, here it comes. No more wishing upon a politician, it's about to be full-on civil war, assuming Pritzker doesn't blink. If you're the praying type, say a prayer for us all.
Do not underestimate them. The true string pullers names are probably not even known yet.
NYC — This Do Not Turn On Us webinar tomorrow (8/24) is a great way to get prepared for the National Guard being deployed to our city. Register here: bit.ly/oath0824
In 1968, 43 African American soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas refused deployment for riot control at DNC in Chicago. “We shouldn’t have to go out there and do wrong to our own people." When will our state's National Guard do the same? #RESIST through #PeacefulProtest #NONViolenceIsPower #StopICE
@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
If you find yourself repeating fascist threats and lies and bluster, you are only helping them. “They’re going to deport Kilmar to Uganda on Monday.” Shut the fuck up. No they’re not. They want you to think they’re invincible monsters. They’re not. They’re decaying pedophiles.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
75 House Democrats voted to show gratitude for ICE forces and police amid their nationwide ethnic cleansing operations. What media is calling riots, are peaceful protests that were attacked by ICE and defended themselves. #3E #EndImpunity www.newsweek.com/75-democrats...
Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...
Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.
A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.
The Qatar bribe is *initially* going to the Department of Defense so Donald can avoid paying for jet fuel, pilots, and maintenance. It is *then* going to his "Library" so Donald can can continue avoiding personally paying such costs--and avoid paying taxes. The entire scheme is a scam.
This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.
Can Someone find this out!!... DEMS we are looking at YOU .....🤔
If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.
Georgia bans organ donation of someone who died w/o their consent—but Georgia’s 6 week abortion ban is now forcing a brain dead woman to stay alive w/o her consent because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she went brain dead. Even a corpse in Georgia has more rights over its body than do women & girls

I just watched an orangutan tie a knot. You should see it too.
This zoo is really good. They have an awesome cheetah breeding program and their animals are really well taken care of. I've seen this orang and he is magnificent.
Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!
This pup just started their fitness journey and could use a spotter. And a little encouragement. 12/10
This is Libby. She was found as a pregnant stray. Unfortunately, her puppy was stillborn and stuck, which led to life-threatening complications. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org covered her $10k hospital bill. She's made a full recovery and gets to go to work with her new human ❤️🩹
Good night 😴 War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself. Benjamin Franklin
This is Grub. She was found as a stray at only two months old. Her eyes were in a terrible state and causing a lot of pain. To live comfortably, they needed to be removed. With your support, we were able to cover that surgery. Grub healed... and found her forever human ❤️🩹
NEWS: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis of various Republican plans for Medicaid spending reveals that, under every scenario laid out by the GOP, millions would lose insurance. The GOP's plans would have a disproportionate impact on low-income and elderly populations.
This is Alya. She was born with a defect that caused her to be severely incontinent. Thanks to your recent support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover her $7,000 bladder surgery. This sentient piece of fried chicken was adopted in no time ❤️🩹

Another term. We can NOT let him finish this one FFS!
. The President of the United States just took a $2 billion bag from a UAE-backed crypto firm. That’s not business it’s a bribe. A sitting president is getting paid by a foreign government. This is treason in plain sight. And y’all quiet? Hell no. .
Is this bad? I'm no international shipping expert, but this sounds bad.
🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.
Happy #Caturday
Pennsylvania evangelical youth pastor Robert Fenton has been sentenced to only 3-6 yrs in prison for raping a child in his youth group. The church gave him approval to betroth the 14 year old girl to him when he was 26. www.thedailyreview.com/news/local/f...

This is Mister Winston. He has a very impressive gallery wall above his food bowl to enjoy while he eats. Really thinks art makes a house a home. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

This is Gunner. He is a big strong dog who happens to not be able to sleep until he's tucked into bed with two pillows and his Eeyore stuffy. 13/10
Children incarcerated at the Jackson Parish Jail in Louisiana say they’ve been held in solitary confinement, sprayed with mace, and shot with pepper balls. The fact remains: No prison is a safe prison for children.
What the U.S. government is doing in relation to public health is so irrational and harmful that it’s almost impossible to process it. They are lying about how vaccines are tested. They are lying about vaccines containing “aborted fetus debris”. This is public health malpractice.

Trump is not only pulling Americans together but also pulling American institutions together in ways no one could have predicted just months ago. A Great Pushback seems to be happening. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-great-pushback
We should limit the powers of a president. The Executive Branch was never meant to have this much authority! Congress should have checked the powers during the Bush administration. NPR, PBS, and Harvard? A play straight from Russia’s playbook!

This is Dobby. Her grandkids got her an iPad to play Solitaire on. Can't even get this dang thing to turn on though. 12/10
The Trump administration has halted $1 billion in funding for mental health services for children, claiming that the programs, which were established under a bipartisan law aimed at curbing gun violence in schools, are no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

This is Reggie and Pearl. Reggie holds the @guinnessworldrecords.com title for tallest dog living at 3 feet 3 inches. Pearl holds the title for shortest dog living at 3.59 inches. They just met for the first time for a playdate. 14/10 for both

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Beltaine, also known as May Day (1st May), marks the beginning of summer in pagan & Gaelic calendars. It's marked with Maypole dancing, bonfires, fertility rituals (👀) & by making posies & leaving them at the doors of those you love. Merry May Day 🌿-some May posies my daughters made 8 years ago:
Sticker for 1932 Detroit #MayDay parade. Printed 5 years before the @uaw.org formed and in the aftermath of the Ford Hunger March massacre, it speaks to the violence autoworkers endured to unionize their industry. From the Joe Brown Papers at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.
On May Day, it's more important than ever to remember that solidarity is necessary to overcome the imminent dangers we now face — from Donald J. Trump and the oligarchy. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/mayday-may-day
Today is the day, go hit the streets. More than 1000 protest all across the United States and Europe for May Day. Find one near you and join, share widely. www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/ #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #EndAutogenocide #mayday

Again, I am ASTOUNDED that SO MANY people don’t understand that if Walmart or Target can’t stock their shelves, NO STORE will be able to. It doesn’t matter if you are boycotting them. How are people on both sides somehow not grasping this concept?!?
This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.
This is Arang and Aro. Aro is giving them the ol' razzle dazzle, and Arang is giving nothing at all. 12/10
