Absolutely despicable incompetence
You think we werenāt prepared for the last pandemic ā¦.
Usually a great group of folks to connect with!

This isnāt bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
AMERICA: āItās a mental health issue.ā REST OF THE WORLD: āWe have those. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA: āItās video games.ā WORLD: āWe have those too. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA B: āItās cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.ā WORLD: āGod, youāre stupid.ā

Funniest thing Iāve seen today
Funny but disturbing at the same time
A year ago todayā¦ God how different it could have been.
Rep. Nicole Collier is a Goddamn warrior. This is a woman who is demonstrating grit, resolve, tenacity and the refusal to bowā¦rather than just yapping about it.
What's happening to our country right now should chill us to the bone.
"Trump turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. Even his flaws have flaws. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid." -Nate White

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important. A free press exists to question authority and help the public question it as well. But authoritarians insist that they must never be questioned. This is the cost of tyranny. deadline.com/2025/08/corp...
Wow. Trump announces he is firing the U.S. Labor Statistics Commissioner for reporting that jobs numbers are weak under his watch. This is what dictators do.
Truth
Idiot Banks showing why he failed math in elementary school.
nice and simple but they still wouldnāt get it
UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty and the Republicans just voted to let Trump take the Qatari jet with him when he leaves office. Insane corruption. There is no bottom.
I had heard people refer to this and I assumed they were exaggerating. My bad.

The mass deportations wonāt save money. They wonāt get bad guys, protect citizens, curb fentanyl, or help our economy. But if we let them, they will inspire more racism and fear, and prepare us to accept a police state. Donāt let yourself become numb to this.
1/4š§µ While Donald Trump had us doom-scrolling and chasing scandals...Stephen Miller was building something darker: a white nationalist legal machine. Quiet. Methodical. Cold. His goal isnāt just policy...itās permanent architecture.

Musk will be responsible for the deaths of 14,000,000 people. Thatās a genocidal amount of death.
What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?
Wow! France gifted her to us, and now theyāve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. š A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.
Everyday
Your hairs would turn gray instantly if you could hear all the private threats Donald Trump made and the lies he told to get the ten GOP holdouts to fold. The billionaires of this country just garroted America, and they had big, shit-eating grins on their faces as they did so.
I donāt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make whatās happening now look like childās play. And people are disappearing.
It's a fascist regime, folks. You have to start treating it like such. You need all hands on deck and a remarkable change in attitude, language and tactics to confront Trump and MAGA. The old guard ain't gonna cut it.
When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.
Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation ā kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs. This is Project 2025 in action.
Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

I promise you: I am going to work every day to make sure the American people know who did this and hold them accountable. Today is a bad day for America, but a good day to renew that promise to yourself: stay in this fight.
The majority of Americans donāt want this. And in less than 500 days a majority of Americans will be able to speak up and loudly reject Republicans in Congress in the midterm elections.
The razor-thin majority that lets Republicans control the House was decided by a little more than 7,000 votes scattered across three districts in Iowa, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. Thatās certainly no mandate ā and when asked today a clear majority of Americans disapprove of them, too.
The 50 senators who voted against this bill represent tens of millions more Americans than the 50 who voted for it.
America doesnāt have to be this way ā and itās important to remember on days like today that most Americans donāt even want America to be this way: Less than 200 days into his second term, a clear majority of Americans disapprove of what Trump is doing ā the only president who has ever been less po
Republicans in Congress are making sure that more people who are barely hanging on financially finally go broke, that more hungry children have even less to eat, and that sick people pay more to get care ā or if they canāt, they just get sicker and die.
Republicans in Congress are spending tens of billions of dollars to expand the unconstitutional kidnapping, trafficking, and confinement of people whoāve committed no crime.
Republicans in Congress are transferring wealth from the working class and middle class to billionaires and big corporations.
The hundreds of millions of Americans who will be worse off because of this awful bill should hold those Republicans accountable ā but they only will if you make sure they know who did these things: Republicans in Congress are taking health care away completely from millions of people, and making i
@warren.senate.gov's latest email hits all the nails on the head: The Republicans in Congress who voted for this historically bad, deeply dangerous bill should be ashamed of themselves ā but we know they wonāt be.
No one voted to kick 17 MILLION people off their health care. No one voted to RAISE the cost of groceries. No one voted to give handouts to BILLIONAIRES. Donald Trump and Republicans just sold out working people. This is a gut punch ā but we will NOT stop fighting back.
Any far right US Supreme Court decision which alters or reverses any part of OUR Constitution is invalid. They do not have the authority to make amendments.
So just to recap: - Parents can force schools to erase LGBTQ+ existence because ??? - The Court's opinion on birthright citizenship is ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ. - We're reverting back to the Articles of Confederation ig ??? Except our population is now 340 million and every court might be its own country.
Two weeks ago millions of people in this country marched saying "NO KINGS." The Supreme Court this week responded, "SORRY FOLKS, YES, WE HAVE A KING."
Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen. This is madness.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jacksonās dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
So the Iran Nuclear Deal, a sophisticated multilateral agreement reached by hundreds of adults over a two-year periodāwhich kept us safe for yearsāhas been replaced by a pathetic, obviously false bedtime story about a supposedly obliterated nuclear program being told to us by a known con man Got it
Their corruption is endless. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
āforget about intelligenceā is what should be on those dumb red hats
As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But heās a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.
Fitting for the cock and balls stage design
Itās āTrump saidā with fucking everything. His word is law. Literally. Fuck that!
I still remember how long the USA argued over whether or not there were 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq. Colin Powell did a whole thing at the UN. Now it's just 'Trump said they have them.'
Theyāre going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. Theyāll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. Theyāll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and theyāll do it again. And then a few years later theyāll pretend they were with you all along.
I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.
By the way, the US striking Iranās nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraineās nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason itās forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
We have a madman running the country and a bunch of abject morons who support him, itās as simple as that. They think of themselves as āgood peopleā because they live amongst so many others of their ilk. Sweaty hordes of mediocrity with greasy fingers and malignant minds.
Project 2025 laid all this unconstitutional horseshit out for everyone to see. America failed an open book test
In other news, any Democrats that is incapable of speaking up passionately and directly against this fascist Trump regime should not be taken seriously as a present or future leader. The age of timidity and complicity and fecklessness is over. There's a vacancy for leadership and fighters.
Fascism: a populist political philosophy or regime that exalts nation & often race above the individual, that is associated w/ a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, & that's characterized by severe economic & social regimentation & by forcible suppression of opposition
When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.
Trump isnāt waiting for chaosāheās engineering it. This National Guard move in LA isnāt about order. Itās bait. He wants a flashpoint big enough to justify invoking the Insurrection Act. Wake up. This is how power grabs start.
Better question: who does daddy Thiel choose?
Methinks Elon is one ketamine bender away from tweeting how Trump stole the 2024 election.
Maybe itās a distraction. Maybe not. The only question I have is why hasnāt Musk kicked the orange felon off X? #trump #musk #Twitter #trumpvmusk
Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies canāt keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.
Someone should tell Trump that Elon would feel very owned if he fully funded USAID and the CDC.
POCAN: Who's in charge of DOGE if the guy who's taking over for Musk, for just left, he's leaving -- sounds like a circus VOUGHT: The cabinet agencies that are in charge of the DOGE consultants who work for them are fundamentally in charge of DOGE P: Oh, that's an answer only a mother could love
The Trump administrationās billion-dollar cuts to the National Institutes of Health include a $2.7 billion blow to the National Cancer Institute slashing more than a third of its funding. āFor the past 50 years, every significant medical breakthrough, especially in the treatment of cancer,

SCOTUS just gave the Trump admin the green light to deport 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua & Venezuela. These people entered LEGALLY under Bidenās humanitarian parole. This isnāt about āillegal immigrationāā in Trumpās own words, this is about ethnic cleansing. #OnYourSide
Donāt be so naive. Itās complete bs.
Absolutely
Trump is blatantly trashing the Constitution, the very foundation of our democracy. This is a disgrace to the office and an insult to every citizen. Our rights are not disposable. They are not. #Remember
Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how heās feeling about it.
Almost everything he does is illegal. And youāre right about the damage. It will take decades to recover from this administration.
I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it
