Beautiful!
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Please join me in thanking the Miccosukee tribe for shutting down Alligator Alcatraz. NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS ON NATIVE LAND!
Laurens, Union, Spartanburg, Sumter, Bennettsville, Hartsville, Lake City, Myrtle Beach, and many other cities in S Carolina have higher crime rates than D.C. Maybe the SC National Guard needs to be deployed to those cities.
Lockland, Elwood Place, Canton, Springfield, and other cities in Ohio all have higher crime rates than Washington, D.C. Perhaps the Ohio National Guard should have remained there.
In October, we published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism.
This is exactly why the District of Columbia needs statehood now!
At a time when we have a president who wants to halt Black progress, silence Black voices, and erase Black history… I’m thankful for this 🙏🏽

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim
EU leaders have issued a statement ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting: “The European Union underlines the inherent right of Ukraine to choose its own destiny and will continue supporting Ukraine on its path towards EU membership.” ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
Will Trump mention this and reprimand Russia when he meets with Putin?

Based on a lie.
Never! Democracy will live on if we don’t give up.
This is literally obscene. Where is Congress?
This is completely obscene. How can a Congressional Representative adequately represent these people?
Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.
The media needs to thoroughly rip through these false data - nonstop. It is obscene.
300,000 Black women have left the labor market in a three month period this year, and it's estimated that the unemployment rate for Black women is as high as ten percent but none of this is getting much traction. So, I wrote about it on my blog. blackgirlinmaine.com/commentary/f...
This is a waste of taxpayer funds.
The law was introduced after sheriff’s Deputy Julio Alvarado failed to write a report about his slamming of a Black woman to the ground in a 2021 viral video, despite a policy that officers document each time they use force. —in partnership with @propublica.org veritenews.org/2025/07/23/l...
This is insane. Lying is so anti-Christ. This is just unbelievable.
And who paid for tariffs?
JUST IN: Former Jan. 6 prosecutor Michael Gordon (prosecuted Riley Williams, Ray Epps, Bigo Barnett, among others) and press aide Patty Hartman have sued Pam Bondi over their terminations from DOJ. Their lawyer: Abbe Lowell storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
This is absolutely horrific. Where is the Congress?
Snatched from immigration court as he tries to follow the rules. Sent to who knows where, for who knows how long. While Trump and Stephen Miller’s private prison friends and ICE rake in billions.
NEW: Want to learn about the Supreme Court justices’ financial connections to companies and people? We've updated our database with 2024 filings that detail travel reimbursements, gifts, book income and more. By @cerealcommas.bsky.social
The law is race-based despite the Trump Administration asserting it doesn’t want race-based policies.
Can you imagine if President Obama had done anything even remotely similar to this? They’d (GOPs & Dems) would have impeached him a thousand times over.
My question is revenge for what? No one has taken their right to vote away, passed race-based laws forbidding them from owning land, houses, or businesses or working in certain jobs. They haven’t been subjected to slavery or lynching bec/ they are White. Haven’t had their land confiscated.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
You’re making the poster’s point. Because this is “real action.” www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fa...
Did someone say real action? washingtonmonthly.com/2017/01/03/o...
Wow! Maybe you weren’t listening? apnews.com/article/harr...
Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man. Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.
Hmmmm…..Where are all the calls for Walters’ resignation?
When you strip away humanity
This is simply unbelievable. Does Trump know this will make him look culpable and like an accomplice to pedophilia?
That part. It’s beyond disgusting and immoral.
I don’t understand how people can spend precious time thinking up ways to harm vulnerable people. This is sheer evil.
We have got to pass stronger laws to protect innocent people. Law enforcement officers should not be celebrating beating, tasing, harassing, and abusing innocent people. LEOs who engage in these practices should be fired.
Our hearts go out to the family of Terrance Taylor and @hoyer.house.gov & his staff. We join you in mourning the loss of Terrance Taylor, a true patriot and warrior for justice and democracy. Terry gave so much to so many and will be dearly missed. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
He clearly saw the hand-writing on the wall.
He connected the dots between the money, the merger, and the pressure he might face. He essentially predicted his own cancellation on air. https://trib.al/5NGd6O4
Same here. I’m awe-struck.
@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social is a National Treasure. PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS!
Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.
Thank you @kevinmkruse.bsky.social. This is GREAT! Thank you @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social. Brilliant.

That part!
Are you sure it’s related to dementia? Did he have dementia when he called for the innocent Central Park 5 to be executed AFTER they’d been exonerated, or is this just who he is?
How clairvoyant.
Beef prices are at record highs, and industry experts say could stay that way into 2026 and beyond. Ground beef averaged $6.12 a pound in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to federal data released this week. Steak prices jumped 8% year-over-year, per the latest Consumer Price Index.
Rather than building on the manufacturing momentum of the past few years, the Trump administration and congressional Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which dismantled nearly all the policies that jump-started the manufacturing boom.
Congo and Rwanda-backed rebels on Saturday signed a declaration of principles in Qatar to end fighting in eastern Congo that commits them to a permanent ceasefire to be signed in one month.
If Grassley didn’t follow the rules, is the judicial appointment legal? Can it be challenged?
The New Jim Crow.
They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be. There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...
Russ Vought may not like that Congress holds the power of the purse — but that’s the Constitution. The budget process is bipartisan to ensure we serve ALL Americans, not just Trump and his billionaire friends. If Vought wants to change it, he should resign and run for Congress.
I remember my high school social studies teacher warning us to never marry someone who grew up in a town with no fluoridated water & complaining about the thousands his family was paying in dental care for his wife - who grew up in such a town.
This is wild!
It appears Elon Musk’s penchant for slashing federal contracts did not apply to him. Meanwhile, contracts protecting women from sexual abuse, developing affordable housing, educating children, providing healthcare, & stopping housing discrimination have been gutted. fortune.com/2025/07/14/e...
Obama literally said those who have been most fortunate, like him, need to really amp up and level up. He’s not talking to the base. The base isn’t doing as well as him unless you know something I don’t.
At a time when inflation and unemployment are rising.
It’s mind-boggling. The crash happened before Obama even became President. McCain requested the Presidential campaigning be halted so he & Obama could head back to D.C. to handle the crisis. www.npr.org/2008/09/25/9...
Think of the toxic environments we could clean, the number of houses we could de-lead so children can be safe, the healthcare we could provide, the instances of housing discrimination, the children we could properly educate with $200 Billion.
Think of all the children we could educate with $200 billion. We could actually pay teachers, teachers’ aides, janitorial staff, etc. a living wage.

Oh, this is golden.
Of course. The state has been changing in terms of its population and they must rig the system.
1940-someone was salty about Superman:
It’s also a deliberate act of racism.
The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.
Was there ever any doubt? Trust me. She’s thinking of a strategy for other non-Hispanic White groups as well.
France can’t loan the U.S. the money because African nations like Burkina Faso are waking up and taking control of their own resources.
Wow! If you bomb someone I don’t like, you can be as racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, xenophobic, or sexist as you want.
Thank you, Box of Frogs!
Oh my to the g! Thank you. I came here to say this.
Oh how very careful these speakers are as they tip toe around the obvious. Can’t we just boldly acknowledge that there is an elephant in the room or that the emperor has no clothes? Must we timidly wonder?
This piece by @alondra.bsky.social is too important. It’s a must read for anyone concerned about the state of scientific research.
Hear, hear! We miss too much when we move too fast and exclude important constituencies. This is an excellent piece.
What happens if a relative of the elected officials who are pushing for this arcane law get convicted on flimsy evidence?
I received this email from the SSA as well. It is a complete lie. Social Security income is still taxed — the Big, Ugly Bill did NOTHING to change that. Welcome to 1984, folks.
The epitome of gaslighting.
If the Chief Justice is indeed self-aware, then he must understand the danger he’s put us in. Checking the power of the President is his job and he has not done it well. That has imperiled us all. It has put our children at risk because it will be another generation B4 we get a good SCOTUS.
Luttig: There is nothing that John Roberts is not aware of. He knows everything that’s going on. The Chief Justice has said, you, the Democrats, are every bit as responsible for this as the Republicans. That’s offensive.
No lies detected.
And “the Blacks.” Don’t leave us out because they’ve been wanting to get rid of us since the 13th Amendment was passed.
This is worth a listen for how clear an explanation of the reason for, and reasoning behind, the nationwide injunction SCOTUS decision @sifill.bsky.social delivers. Have heard a few lawyers try to explain it but none managed to do it so succinctly and clearly. youtu.be/xQf5m74NFPQ?...
the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.
It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.
Folks, Navy Federal Credit Union will no longer have to refund $80M to servicemembers illegally charged overdraft fees after the Trump Admin dismissed a case brought by the CFPB, under the Biden Admin, to protect military members. apnews.com/article/navy...
It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die. There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”
Their whole purpose is to inflict pain and trauma on Black and Brown people. And MAGA relishes in inflicting that pain. They glorify the hell they are causing to the least of these.
Exactly. They are not even trying to hide it.
