When the billionaires override citizen voters . . . LABOR DAY is COMING!
YIKES!
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Trump’s ICE goons now literally arresting firefighters. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

ICE job requirements. Huh. They wearing them brown shirts yet? youtube.com/shorts/CYO-2...
Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.
“Low unemployment, stable inflation, strong GDP growth” Grok on the economy Biden left Trump… keep it handy for a rainy day… 👇🏽
Does ICE seriously think that recruiting an aging Superman actor will make the citizens LIKE ICE? Ewwww. www.bbc.com/news/article...
It can't possibly be his long-term history of not honoring his debts. Nope - he's the victim (again). I bet our MAGA neighbors will be screaming about this one. Not even a full year & I'm so tired of him (again). www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...
Any bets on how long before he replaces all of this with a National "Dept. of Beautiful Truth"? Russia's "Pravda" means "factual truth", but was/is their instrument of Communist Party propaganda, and DJT loves what his totalitarian buddies do.
Heather Cox Richardson's Aug 01 Letters From an American. To my mind, DJT wins the award for IRONY with his statement: "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences." YA THINK? heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-1-2...
Remember when he campaigned on the idea of "draining the swamp"? Ironic, eh?

Tennessee's 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act allows physicians to deny care to patients whose lifestyles they disagree with. Holy Retro-Thinking, Batman! nashvillebanner.com/2025/07/20/d...
Heard about a Tennessee doctor refusing to treat an unmarried pregnant woman? Also last week (July18,2025) Trump made it official: VA doctors can discriminate against patients for political beliefs or marital status under new guidelines for VA hospitals. app.sosha.ai/s/VoisIR1a

This burns my backside so bad . . . isn't this exactly the type of government waste & fraud that DOGE was SUPPOSED to get rid of? Instead we're ADDING to it AND killing children? youtube.com/shorts/eYmZX...

But wait . . . according to his father's efforts to destroy birthright citizenship, won't he be ineligible since his mother wasn't a citizen at the time of his birth? Just asking.

NEW: Adults fighting kids for clean water, despondent toddlers and a child with swollen feet denied a medical exam - these first-hand accounts from immigrant families are offering a glimpse at conditions in TX detention centers. according to court filing. apnews.com/article/migr...
The smoke & mirrors is going to cost a lot of people their lives. He doesn't care - fewer opponents to protest his behavior.
To every member of Congress tonight: We don’t need 200+ words. We need 3 sentences. 1. Trump’s strike on Iran was unauthorized & unconstitutional 2. Congress must reassert its war powers—immediately 3. I support the War Powers Resolutions in the House and Senate No war with Iran. Full stop.
He's clearly part of Project 2025 Christian Nationalist Agenda seeking Armageddon in the Middle East for their own satisfaction. Unless we make changes ASAP, the US is set to become a theocracy that kills as many of its own citizens as it can to fit their idea of pure blood & faith.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...
Peter Sean Brown, a Philly native, should have never been held on an ICE detainer by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office nor should he have faced deportation to Jamaica.
Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go. Today, we’re once more committing ourselves to the work of ending systemic oppression of Black people in America. We’re not free until everyone is free.
We need to remind them: it's Red, White AND BLUE, it's OUR flag too! But, yeah, weird timing and deflection of their supposed purpose.

"We the People" must let them know it's worth fighting for something other than keeping their jobs under a dictator.
Another older video/post, but it bears repeating. Everyone of us must take a stand for justice. Like Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland is doing in El Salvador this week. youtube.com/shorts/mCc4w...
It's an old picture, but is THIS what we need in the US now? A human chain from D.C. to Mar-a-Lago to show that "We, the People" are NOT happy with our Constitution being trampled - I'll participate if you will!
love you! genericelder@bsky.social
Absolutely! There was a series (TV? Prime? can't remember) about AI Bots a few years ago that also played on this theme. In it, the (very beautiful female) family Bot had a semi-secret feature for sex. It was terrifying and disturbing and made me hate all the male characters (sorry, not sorry).
