Oh, and "defenders of democracy" is not spelled c-o-r-r-u-p-t p-o-l-i-t-i-c-i-a-n-s
Justly is not spelled h-o-r-r-i-b-l-y.
turns out the thing most of us learned as kids is still true: stand up to bullies and they usually back down — but give them what they want and they’ll *always* be back for more

Pritzker’s torching Trump as the cheater he is—cheats on his wives, cheats at golf, and now plotting to cheat America out of the 2026 midterms. Abbott & Trump want rigged maps because they can’t win fair. Illinois won’t help. We won’t let them steal what they can’t earn.

First time they aren’t buying that it is either FAKE NEWS! or Obama’s fault.
Please use stories like this and images of Masked ICE gestapo police beating immigrants and share them with everyone you know. This is a war of narratives and we can win if we fight back. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.
Oops. 🤷🏼♂️
Because you are EVIL
Prime Example of "Christian" as a cover. They are rendering it meaningless.

🥊 Today in history, June 20, 1967. Muhammad Ali was convicted for refusing the draft. “I’m against the war in Vietnam. My conscience won’t allow me to go… I’d just rather go to jail.” Ali stood for justice, no matter the cost.
Americans want Trump to take a cognitive test. 8/10 Americans said Presidents should have to take a cognitive test and share their health screenings. 74% said it should be a legal requirement. 81% are in favor of age limits for the Presidency. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.nj.com/politics/202...
I am very, very happy to be wrong. I'm glad especially to see independents split on this. I was pretty sure the protests would create a more even split, but Trump being down 15 points on this one issue tells me I was too worried.
Well, here we are 150 days into FOTUS 2.0 and it’s going about as well as we expected it would. What we didn’t expect, however was the cowardice of the democrat party
It’s easy to overlook when we don’t have an authoritarian president, which is to say we didn’t realize we elected spinelessness. We can easily remedy that, and some are already working towards that end
If you want to continue to be elected official in the Democrat Party, you’re gonna need to show that you’re doing what you can, everything you can, to save this country. Some of you work failing at that rather simple yet extremely important opportunity.
Not hyperbole and not an overreaction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7SO...
Robert Frost wrote “Fire and Ice” in 1920, contemplating the relative destructive potential of desire and hate. 105 years later, the current president relies on both, willingly destroying all in his path for the sake of his endless hunger for power and hatred for humanity.
Happy Obama Day!
Pete Hegseth is unqualified, incompetent and out of control.
This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.
I’m devastated to hear my friend of 50 years has passed. Just spoke to her 2 days ago & she was her usual feisty, hysterically funny self. This is a hard one. I was her 1st house guest in her new home in 1975 & helped her paint her NYC apartment. Just heartbroken. So hard to lose old friends.💔💔💔
Trump needs to mind his business and let California do California. It’s the largest economy in the US —a donor state. Maybe it’s time they withhold tax dollars until red states end gerrymandering and start playing fair. See how that works?
Best response yet!!
Nancy Pelosi is right, it's all about healthcare We can win back the House if that's our focus. Don't get sucked in to all the other bullshit! We win by focusing on health, health care, public health Spread those messages at least once a day www.politico.com/newsletters/...

The romance scammers have a new tact - post a few memes that coincide with your beliefs then follow you. Look for the "hello there" replies to confirm romance scamming.
I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.
Chris Murphy: "Why did Trump choose these 3 countries to go for his first major foreign trip? It's not because these are our most important allies or the most important countries in the world. It's because these are the 3 countries willing to pay him off ... this is the definition of corruption."
The DOJ is all in a kerfuffle over James Comey posting (in seashells), 8647. Made me think of the Book of Proverbs: "The wicked flee when none pursueth."
Perfect!
Mr. Springsteen @brucespringsteen.net, during his “Hope & Dreams” Tour launch in the UK last night: “The America I know—is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.” His words are painful to hear but filled with undeniable truth. “We’ll survive this moment.”
So now are the MAGA deejays going to break his records on the air and ban them from play?
The salute means nothing to him. He's play-acting, Dumb-@$$.
Americans, SADLY, have a very short attention span. Musk has been quiet, TOO quiet, lately. And his Tesla stock, which has only received one damning report after another, is rising? 🧐 He’s scheming! Read Rogue’s 🧵 again. And never forget what this monster has done and will continue to do.
This is strong! More of this please. 💪💪🐶
It is very clear now that unusual trading before news is happening. Take Friday. Right before close, in the FINAL MINUTES of the market, traders bought MILLIONS in $SPY calls, the largest volumes of days. These calls were all OTM, expirying the next Wednesday & Friday (!!!).
Why is this not in the headlines? This is a NATO country being attacked by Russia. Why is it all crickets????
Yeah, because it's part of the plan to take down America, thank to Musk.

You can call the Capitol Switchboard and ask to be connected to your Senators: (202) 224-3121 You can also use ResistBot to send a message to your senators (see attached directions and talking points).
Hell yeah! Put this on loop—this wise man speaks for me. 🔥
#ProudBlue #Resist Some how I missed John Oliver’s take on Immigration. it was really disturbing. The phrase “Not In My Name” comes to mind. It is & has been a horror story, especially at detention centers, privately owned. ICE is in the prison business! Please watch m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hpg...
Find your local event here. See you down there tomorrow. www.fiftyfifty.one
That's how we SHOULD react. +++ Use ICE Memo to justify permanent no knock option with charges for anyone resisting in any way. Use GOP House to block any investigations/info. Arrest judges & claim their Left. Use USPS police as person ICE/police. They are coming www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...
I have some breaking news: a list of all the countries with which the Trump administration has failed to make a tariff deal.
This is not an administration that is genuinely concerned about antisemitism.
UNREAL.
The lives of 6 million Jews stolen because of irrational vitriolic hatred. The Holocaust didn’t happen overnight, it started with incidents of hate, escalated into violent incidents of hate, and kept escalating. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
A few weeks before the election, Kamala Harris announced a plan that wiped medical debt off credit reports. After a whole four years of Joe Biden trying to forgive every student loan he could. Because of the people who didn't vote for her, the loan payments are due and going on your credit report.

This is who we are now?!
Please feel free to share as many times as you like.
Act NOW to save yourself, your country, your family, and their future!
We have proof that this is his way. YOU have seen it! Prices are NOT lower! We are all becoming poorer every day! Innocent people have been ambushed and taken into prisons! Do not believe the disinformation that has led our country to this precipice.
We cannot cast our children into a future where they might be taken into a prison just because we allowed Trump to become a dictator and take over our country!
Please find your voice and speak out NOW! We must protect each other from this! Tell everyone you know to call their senators and representative and tell them DO NOT allow this executive order to become law!
A White House Liaison would be installed to enforce direct presidential control in every independent regulatory agency.
All federal employees would be subject to the President’s and Attorney General’s interpretation of the law, eliminating legal independence. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) funding would be subject to alignment with White House priorities.
Please understand that our federal government would by definition have no checks and balances. All federal agencies, including independent regulatory commissions, would be subjected to White House control/presidential approval.
It would cause the United States to no longer function as a democratic republic. It would no longer be an “independent” regulatory agency that bars absolute executive power. It would formally make Trump a dictator. We must unite together to make sure this executive order must not be approved.
This is our last chance to join together, to help each other fight together to save our country! Because if If this executive order passes into law, it will be the end of our country as we know it.
In peace, I entreat everyone to reach out! We must help each other! The boundaries are not between Right and/or Left, or Republicans or Democrats. They are between God’s Truth on which we depend and live, versus the destruction of our country.
If passed into law, it would immediately make him a dictator. Everyone-- including friends or family members who support MAGA— needs to understand that this grave situation threatens the life of every American, and every child's future.
This is to everyone I know, Republican or Democrat, MAGA supporter or not. It is now clear what Trump meant when he said “Vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again.” The Nation.com just explained that the executive order Trump has now submitted IS the Enabling Act of the 1930s.

Thank you, sir, for fighting for us then, and, sadly, now. Your service is greatly appreciated then and now. 🤗

Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year.
The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
😈 we need to be much meaner 😈
The National Guard and the Military take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution- NOT a President. If Tяump dictates an unconstitutional order, the military is duty bound to ignore it.
She was right about everything, AGAIN. Sign the petition to tell Congress to pressure Trump to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to his loved ones. Friends, the only way this works is if you repost so others can sign it as well. Hit that repost button, please. 🙏🏻 👇🏻 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Absolutely fucking disgusting.
Unfortunately, it appears 'merica will not be far behind. Cause you know, god.

The setting on fire of Gov. Shapiro's residence while he and his family were inside during passover should be investigated as both a hate crime and as a potential attempted assassination.
