🏳️🌈 NEW study: Companies with strong LGBTQ+ workplace fairness policies grow faster, earn more, and deliver steadier returns. Fairness and inclusion correlated with higher revenues, profit and investor returns. A 15-year analysis of hundreds of large companies found inclusion equals business success.
MAGA, the GOP and the Religious Right are very skilled at making the entire nation look like a mass of idiots.
This piece by Kate Shaw is a perfect exposition on the question of the independence of the Fed and the president's ability to remove governors mid-term.
Due to the Trump administration’s current policies a survey finds that a majority of Canadians will be selling off their own US property and homes over the next year! This will definitely have a profound effect on the US economy! #USDemocracy #Pinks www.ctvnews.ca/business/rea...
Fuck you and your fake prayers Andy Ogles. You are a willing accomplice to gun violence. Andy Ogles posted this vile disgusting photo of his family after the Covenant school shooting in his Nashville District People like Andy Ogles consider dead school children “collateral damage” . #ProudBlue
Round up the Jan 6 Insurrections n death penalty for them! #arresttrump
So the killer who shot the Hoffman’s and assassinated the Hortmans is getting his appropriate due process and is looking forward to telling his side of the story while immigrants who have committed no crimes are being sent to inhumane concentration camps with even basic due process?
Due to concern over Trump’s looming tariffs a UN body said Tuesday that 25 countries will be suspending postal services to the United States! 🇺🇸 #USDemocracy #Pinks www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Children are DEAD and what does Kristi Noem want to talk about? Trans people. Gender doesn't matter here. What matters are the families of the victims. What matters is the very real consequences of the lack of gun control. How dare Noem distract from the victims and center her political agenda.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
Right-wing Christian Nationalists are calling for the end of a women’s right to vote; the Nineteenth Amendment. Are we going to let that happen? Fuck No!
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
Graham Platner: "Susan Collins has been in the Senate for almost 30 years... People know that she's a self-interested politician who has tried to play this charade for many years about how she tries to be a moderate... Everybody sees this for what it is."
An expansive network of labor juggernauts and Democratic-aligned groups is pledging to help the campaign to gerrymander California’s congressional map with its ground game and field operation.
I’ll take things that never happened for $500.
DOT secretary said the transportation agency will better "manage" Washington's Union Station, including exploring private sector involvement.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Annunciation Catholic School shooting: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!” Stop paying for a f-cking minute and demand action by people and not just God.
C’mon brain worm, your time to shine!
How ICE Determines Who to Deport And ... #ABlueView🧵1/3
Thank God someone is stopping the dangerous... uh... violinists in Utah. Entered the US with proper papers at 10, later graduated with a fine arts degree from the University of Utah and stayed. Invasion! There's evidence he's been part of the vicious gang known as The Salt Lake Symphony Orchestra.
😉😉😉
When it comes to crime, I think a gunmen murdering two children in a Minneapolis church is more concerning than a nanny taking kids to a playground in Los Angeles or a homeless person laying on a bench in DC. Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.
“Ridiculous but serious. Trump is in many ways a buffoon. So are many dictators. People who dismiss the danger of Trump and Trumpism because of his buffoonishness are either fools or accomplices.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
This is an incredible speech, which every American should hear. I had it pinned but somehow it was deleted, not by me. youtu.be/QIK9vbQRwBQ?...
Toward the end of The Godfather, Michael Corleone, who has risen to become the head of his crime family, orders the assassinations of the heads of rival mobs. In his second stint as president, Donald Trump has taken the same mob boss stance: settling scores with his perceived enemies.

"The oft-mentioned tyranny being opposed by gun owners is really just the sense that the wrong people are encroaching on the privileges and prerogatives of whiteness." From 2020:
if we made immigration work how people think it works that would be the biggest liberalization of immigration in American history

@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
A 24-year-old US-Indian man living in Ottawa, Canada, Saihajpreet Singh, exposed for developing a network of MAGA bots including DOGEai to influence US elections, politics, and public opinion to support Donald Trump, the US Republican Party, and Israel. ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-...
If companies could really just stop with this fucking madness, that'd be great. 😠
If you aren’t already following @rachelwells1.bsky.social, who reports on reproductive health from Tennessee & scooped the story about the woman who was denied care for a pregnancy because she was unmarried, you’ll want to follow her immediately!
Oh so the president could release secret files if he wanted to, you say?
This is what fear looks like.
It’s probably much worse now, 12 years later
“pulled”? what in the name of merriam webster is this
Yep✔️
One thing that Americans truly don't understand is that other countries have exactly the same right to bomb us as we have to bomb them.
These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.
not even nine months ago lollllll
💯. There is no strategy, only impulses to quench an unquenchable narcissistic thirst.
If this is confirmed, it means Trump gave more advance notice to the Iranians than to key members of Congress amwaj.media/en/media-mon...
I grew up in South Asia and last year California was as hot as Pakistan in the 90s. Pakistan is even hotter now.
MSNBC has already stopped their live coverage. They are streaming Brit news. NBC News not even on live anymore. 🙄
🚨 Israeli Military Confirms Missile Launches from Iran The Israeli military says sirens have sounded across several areas in Israel following the launch of missiles from Iran. The Israeli Air Force, it said, is currently responding to intercept the missiles.
ABC’s Jay O’Brien is reporting that republicans in Congress were briefed ahead of the strikes, but that democrats were not briefed until after the attack was underway.
You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country
The "prosperity gospel" is a con for laundering money and covering sexual abuse. They attack queer and trans people as a wedge issue to amplify hate and divide families. But that's just the start: it leverages greed and delusion to promote fascism.
Secretary of the Army says he just had a phone call with "a soldier on the moon". Kudos to this soldier for "most creative made-up excuse for not marching in Trump's parade".
I don't know how many times these people have to say "non-whites are not americans unless they are part of my inner circle, we want to do ethnic cleansing" before people start listening bsky.app/profile/pale...
"Whenever you have President Trump saying these kinds of things [like] you ought to charge this person or you ought to arrest that person, I think any prosecutor who works in good faith has to cringe more than a little." https://trib.al/UgrZz3j
Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.
Oooh good point
It's hard to credit MAGA with ignorance. If they were ignorant they'd sometimes accidentally choose less evil over more evil, but no. No matter where you set them, no matter how many times you spin them around, their moral compasses point with unerring certainty toward maximum atrocity and cruelty.
At the end of the day we are dealing with evil fucking people, or, if such unflinching moral judgments make you uncomfortable, call them regular people who find evil so endlessly compelling that they reliably choose to support the most evil they possibly can every chance they get.
Has our Secretary of State properly registered as a foreign agent yet? I'm a real stickler for paperwork. 🧐
Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.
On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
Substack is also problematic however
They just arrested a US Senator for yelling that he had some questions during a Kristi Noem press conference. Where are all you free speech absolutists now? Oh, right. You were lying.
see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter”
And not just any blue state— the biggest, strongest, most vocal and active blue state. If LA/CA topple, the rest will fall in line, is the plan, I’m sure. Of course, they won’t fall. LA STRONG
If the @democrats.org aren’t calling for impeachments and shutting down the regular order of business on the Hill, then they are NOT “doing everything they can” to stop Trump’s fascist takeover. cc: @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
They mean “white”, right?
Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."
“The police and troops who should be trained in how to de-escalate violence after all these years of facing protests, know that de-escalation is not why they were sent in. Their job is to punish protesters to scare others from protesting.” - Kareem Abdul-Jabber
“This government was founded on protest.” Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993), first Black Supreme Court justice
Looking and sounding good, Newsom
If it looks like a Nazi and quacks like a Nazi….
The ninth circuit did this ?
