Saying the quiet part out loud…with a megaphone 📣
The country lacks leaders but have a surplus of lackeys and supplicants…sigh…

I thought the country was heading in this direction but I’m shocked at how fast the fascists were able to do it.
They refuse to identify themselves They’re masked They’re violent They don’t wear body cams They remove plates from vehicles They respond, when told they are “ruining our country”, to witnesses filming this man be disappeared with “Nah, the liberals already did that.” Twice, and laughed. #Pinks
Parking is a real problem in DC…perhaps they should try pulling up on the WH lawn.
Religion is not 'good', nor is it benign. It is in fact, harmful to individuals, and dangerous to society. Thus, the idea of "religious tolerance" is null & void. #Feminist #Feminism #Discover #Religion #Atheist/Atheism #EduSky🍎 RELIGION HARM STUDIES LIST: pisoproject.wordpress.com/religion-har...
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

No surprise. The GOP without Trump is just a racist street gang.
"Arrests of journalists while on the job are unusual in the United States, with successful convictions on charges being even rarer. Despite this, at least 13 other journalists have been charged with crimes related to their work since the start of 2025 within the United States."
Rhode Island Secretary of State Gregg Amore's office has yet to respond to a DOJ request to participate in a call with the feds to discuss a possible ‘information-sharing agreement. Via @stateline.org rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/07/16/t...
has anyone noticed yet that texas is going to pass anti-trans and anti-abortion bills as a part of their flood response
trump is a rapist, many times over...
It’s not just the DOJ who are covering up the Epstein files, the GOP voted down the Democrats amendment to release all the Epstein files within 30 days. The women are being victimized all over again by the Trump admin. all because Trump was there. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.thetimes.com/us/news
The DOJ is seeking the voter registration lists of several states and other election information ahead of the 2026 midterms, raising fears about how the Trump administration plans to use the information. Colorado faces the most sweeping request. By @jonshorman.bsky.social @stateline.org
A woman who was a young girl of 14 at the time, who was involved in Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking case was brought to Mar-a-Lago by Epstein and Maxwell to meet Trump is a Jane Doe. Trump is John Doe 174 in other civil cases involving Epstein.
🚨 The nation’s *LARGEST* right wing militia, the 3 percent’ers, are attempting to abduct people from immigration court. This must be known about in order for people to protect themselves.

GOP equates Science with Dem philosophy and therefore must be evil and wiped out.
Stupidity has consequences.
When your Government fires every Employee that saves Lives you understand how important Government is that protect People's Lives..this use to be what your Taxes paid for..now all the money has gone to ICE..
ICE IN INGLEWOOD, CA July 4th
Watching INDEPENDENCE DAY with the family. I like the President in the film much more than the clown now residing in the White House.
Without lies, this Administration would be speechless.
The directors of the FBI and CIA say newly declassified documents show intelligence officials acting of a political motive to harm Donald Trump. Read them yourself. They do not. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
I agree

Sad but true. It’s hard to be brave when surrounded by cult members.
Cowardice is leaving the right thing to do to someone else.
Leave god out of this. She’s got better things to do than help Johnson and his ilk.
The Grand Old Party died years ago. Today it’s a cult of personality revolving around the need to please and placate the Supreme Leader.

Optimists are perpetually disappointed…
Remember when MTG whined she “wouldn’t have voted for it” if she’d read the AI part? Well, Democrats are forcing the Big Ugly Budget to be read out loud—and it’s being streamed live. But the Senate floor? Empty. Not a single GOP Senator there to hear the bill that will crush millions of Americans.
Breaking news: U.S. intelligence obtained private communication among Iranian officials, discussing this month’s military strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and remarking that the attack was less devastating than they had expected.
"While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on some degree of responsibility and even courage from elites." The people are passing this test, and the elites are not.
🚨One of the most terrifying elements of the Trump budget bill is NOT getting enough attention. The Bill will make ICE the biggest policing and incarceration agency in the US. Bigger than the FBI, with more jail space than the Federal Prison Bureau. It’s a budget for a police state.
Murkowski may be a U.S. Senator, but she’s beholding to her voters…and screw everyone else.
🤢🤮
The Butch Cavendish Gang…the sidewinders who ambushed the other Rangers he road with.
Of course SCOTUS gets to put the final spin on whatever passes…
A corrupt system is when ~155 million Americans are represented by 53 MAGA Senators but ~200 million Americans are represented by only 47 Democratic Senators—so the will of 155M is enforced on the will of 200M. Tyranny of the minority is not a functioning Republic, its an aspiring Autocracy. 3/3
A corrupt system when you need 60 Senate votes to protect every basic Constitutional and civil right in this country—but 6 unelected SCOTUS justices mostly appointed by a POTUS who lost the popular vote can strip them all away. 2/3
A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

Schumer to force reading of 1,000-page GOP mega bill, delaying it by half a day Sad that this is the best he can come up with…
Well the rich don’t use Medicaid so they figure no one else needs it…
Update on the Big Ugly Bill: Sen Ron Wyden just released a statement from the Senate Finance Committee & CBO. Republicans have almost $1 TRILLION dollars in cuts to Medicaid. Yep. You read that correctly: 1 trillion dollars 🤬 Keep the pressure on MOCs! www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-memb...
DEMOCRATS—hell yes, do it‼️ Force the full bill reading on the floor. No more Senators pretending they didn’t know what was in it when they voted. 📌 Senate Dems may make clerks read the entire budget bill out loud. Good. People want fight—this is one way to show it. @democrats.senate.gov
I mean if we’re going to rename places, I propose we take the poorly populated states like S. Dakota, N. Dakota, Montana and Wyoming and combine them into one state based on the Dakota Territories.
A NJ state senator proposes that Delaware Bay be renamed the Bay of New Jersey. I wonder where he came up with that idea? I swear this is just an IQ test.
Next stop - only MAGA gets to vote

If it was not clear before, it is undeniable now: the President, Congress, and Supreme Court no longer support and defend the Constitution.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell mocked Donald Trump for saying he feels like a warrior by referencing the last-minute medical diagnosis that kept him out of the Vietnam War.
www.aol.com/fired-rehire... Some former employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who were fired, rehired and fired again this spring say they have received debt no... WTF!
Trump is still crashing out over the intelligence assessment: "Anybody here from CNN by the way? Because you're really a disgraceful network. MSNBC I think is actually worse. But they're all pretty bad."
Age steals your memory, your intelligence and your height.
The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, with several new members handpicked by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is meeting today and will discuss topics that are closely associated with the anti-vaccine movement. Here's what to watch for.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?

UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe... Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?
Three years ago today, Trump's far-right Supreme Court majority ended Americans' federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade. Since then, over 100 women have been denied emergency abortion care. Amber Nicole Thurman, 28, was one of them. Today, share her story. www.propublica.org/article/geor...
Making up your own facts is what two year olds do…but many outgrow that.
what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.
Use this thought experiment - what if no one paid taxes?
BREAKING: SCOTUS over liberals' dissent, blocks district court order requiring process before carrying out third country removals. SCOTUS's order allows Trump admin to carry out third country removals without the protections required—notice and opportunity to raise a challenge. No reason is given.
![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 24A1153 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL. U. D.V.D., ET AL.

But the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments are clear: no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” It doesn’t say “citizen.” It says “person.” The Constitution doesn’t get to be optional.
The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.
A very poor excuse for an excuse. I remember when only the Lone Ranger wore a mask.
Cult members are to be pitied…and examined for brain worms. 🪱
NOT BREAKING NEWS!
When will the sycophants learn that their fealty to the evil, fascist criminal will never pay off? He has no loyalty to anyone but himself. Massie should drag other former MAGAs who Trump has scorned in building a former MAGA, pro-Constitution coalition. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
