Seems like they're trying to put everything in place so it doesn't matter who is in power once he goes.

Any idea of Donald Trump having a political career should have been forgotten the moment he bragged about the height of his building after 9/11.
“Gavin Newsom is the only Democrat that’s fighting Trump!” 5 minutes later, Gavin Newsom is just outright capitulating to Trump’s framing on policing liberal cities using outside forces to “reduce crime,” even agreeing with it!
WTF are we doing to our children in this country? This is a 10 year old who just survived a mass shooting and whose friend was shot after protecting him. He is calm and composed. This is what happens when children are raised to believe mass shootings are normal. My heart breaks for him.
People who weaponize this dont ask “how am i supposed to explain school lunch debt to my children?” Or “how am i supposed to explain how pregnant people are dying of sepsis from miscarriages to my children?”
Our 3yo had like a hundred fuckin questions about the rules & logistics & moral implications of how mogwais become gremlins, but ZERO questions about "sometimes people change from girl to boy" or "sometimes boys marry other boys" or whatever, kids dgaf, the problem has ALWAYS been bigot ass parents
I spent 5 years following Atlanta families working multiple jobs but still unable to afford a place to live. Now they fear losing food stamps and Medicaid — but JD Vance has no interest in them. That's the real story: demonizing homeless people is cover for policies pouring gasoline on this crisis.
I guess he would know about war crimes since he supports war criminals and pedophiles.

I can't respect people who use the word "woke" as an insult. They're announcing their willful or unintentional ignorance.
"Instead of being worried about the fingers he was missing, 16 years old, he kept pointing to his mouth & telling me to feed him. He had no fingers left on his hands, that had been blown away." A US doctor talked to me from Gaza City about starvation. Shocking testimony. zeteo.com/p/bombs-go-o...
She's probably meeting with Susan Collins on how to best convey her concern.
He just had a sub for his family.
Only the best in the Trump administration./s
Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️
Finally, a united nation.
24 Democrats voted to confirm him including @schiff.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @warnock.senate.gov and our "Independents" @sanders.senate.gov @senangusking.bsky.social
Not as many as you seem to think. Title 42 wasn't ended until 2023 and Biden tried to put more restrictions in place including a bill that Rs rejected by capitulating to Trump.
What can we do to stop it?
Congress taking an entire month off in a country where most people don’t get more than 2 weeks vacation is awesome
I think part of the problem is that there are so few actual constitutional requirements to be president. I know the intent was to make it possible for "the people" to be president but in practice we have seen it fail time and time again.
Honestly I doubt his supporters will care much as long as it's "only" girls and not boys.
Unless it's about his book..
THESE MFKERS ARE STANDING ON OUR FOOD
Did you hear they're also trying to get into St. John's in Oxnard?
They're also trying to get into St. John's hospital in Oxnard currently.

I feel like so much of what I’ve learned about the holocaust in my life has been (quite rightfully) centered on the victims, the unfathomable loss, the cruelty. It can be easy to forget that there were so many gleeful Nazis making it happen. This is what that looks like.
/2 Trump appeals to people for a reason: because they’re shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture. When he’s a nasty, bullying, bigoted thug that appeals to them because those are their values. I’m not going to try to be more thuggy or bigoted or bullying to find common ground.
It’s ok and normal to be scared right now. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. It’s normal to feel anxiety right now. These are incredibly important things to feel in such momentous and intense times. It means you are correctly aware of the reality of the situation and the threat we face.
Really impossible to overstate how completely this guy has failed at every aspect of being an opposition leader over the past six months. Jeffries is a truly inspiring example for every soulless careerist who would rather be king of nothing than stand for anything decent in the world.
Which way, Democratic Party?
"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."
NEW from me: A deep dive into OMB Director Russell Vought — specifically, how his plan to reshape the government is rooted in a specific ideology: Christian nationalism. Also, his favorite religious quote from an early president may be, uh…not true. religionnews.com/2025/06/23/r...
Two brothers, ages 8 and 10, stared nervously into news cameras on June 19, speaking with quiet determination to a group of onlookers much older than themselves. “We need our dad back home,” the 8-year-old said. ICE took custody of their father, Kerlin Moreno-Orellana, that morning.
Wow, so much decrying, so little action.
This is the launch from Monday out of Vandenberg. Sorry it's shaky I was trying to wrangle my dogs.
Weak men throw themselves parades to show off their strength.
Ooof. @padilla.senate.gov gave a speech on the sen floor about holding the regime accountable re LA & then sent the clip to his email list to prime people for fundraising asks w this note: “I pray that it can be our wakeup call ….” And then he voted w/ MAGA to enrich Trumps w more crypto bucks.😬
I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
My kids just told me he and his friends are trying to come up with an escape plan in the event of a nuclear attack and none of their parents survived. This is the worst timeline.
The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.
So I can just throw on a hoodie, backwards hat, and a mask and can kidnap anyone I want? What a time to be alive!
And yet you'll keep on voting with GOP.
I wrote about the No Kings protest in downtown L.A. and the people who took it upon themselves to give out free water, snacks and sunscreen to strangers.
An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.
Interesting the dog didn't need to be revived from presumably the same exposure. 🙄
Ma'am, with all due respect, that's bullshit. Thousands of people protested peacefully until the toddler coppies needed a nappy change and a nap, and decided the best way to get that was to call unlawful assembly and start with the teargas.
LAPD when they think nobody is watching
Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.
#NoKings #AbolishICE
Seems the "love the sinner, hate the sin" crowd is having trouble understanding the concept can apply to a country as well.
US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )
From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!
Aiming it at head height.
Video that shows what the press won’t show.
this is so amazing
Full armed tactical units from ICE everywhere in Ventura County today, apparently have been mass raiding employers. #VenturaCounty
He's talking about whatever will keep him "centerist": www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/chart-a...
Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."
Where are the #savethechildren people now when nameless, faceless LARPers are kidnapping children from schools, off the streets, from their families?
If you are fine with unmarked convoys of nameless, faceless LARPers shooting teargas at protectors of innocent people being kidnapped from parking lots and fields over a CIVIL infraction, we have a fundamentally different set of values that I don't believe can be overcome.
This works so well cause they’re “fighting” for something that has never existed, doesn’t make any sense, and that they can’t even coherently identify.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
More law enforcement is not what is needed, they're part of the chaos! More cops is rarely the answer. Do better! Do SOMETHING!
A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.
We know they're all obsessed with what's in people's pants so the more pics the better.
ICE crossed a line in LA
ABOLISH ICE
I'm sure he'll bring it up on his podcast.
Words, words wordswordswords.. words.
And 24 Dems voted to confirm him.
Perhaps the 24 Dems who voted to confirm Collins should have done better.
Interesting, we've already been told by VA/GIBill/VRE that processing and payment times are increasing due to staff shortages and VA staff has no travel budget to attend training sessions.
Seems to me the only religious persecution we have in the US is against the Christians and Catholics being imprisoned in other countries because they're brown.
Love this for him.
one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here
It’s amazing that so much of the press has already gotten bored of covering ACTUAL ONGOING TYRANNY and would rather go back to BIDEN OLD.
AAAAAAAAH
IIRC he's also on record for trying to kill Obamacare through killing the risk corridor program.

Thank you so much!
I have a very stupid but sincere question. How do the funds get disbursed to them. Are there still functioning banks or places they can pay electronically? If these options get shut down what is the best way to continue to help?
I keep having to restate to comrades that Tru*p is broadly unpopular and that this is an ACTUAL opportunity. Even some organizers seem to be convinced that this guy is more popular than he is. His fans are not THE COUNTRY. Stop being propagandized by the terrible US mainstream media.
But what is Schiff doing? What action is he taking, however "futile"?
What drives me nuts is it's been the playbook of fascists for like, more than a century and we still seem to lack an effective counter playbook that isn't world war.
At least one of them is nodding in agreement
They fell for the "southern white house" bs so.. yea.
