The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
I stopped going to Homey D"s ages ago when I learned one of the owners was a trump supporter/large donor. Although I have been to some of their parking lots to find workers to assist me with yard work (have health issues) - ICE cut a forever-stop to that now. #PincheICE #ChingaLaMigra
And connect guests to a polygraph while on the air - as a condition of the interview. At the very least we'd figure out who believes this MAGAt shit and who is hedging their future career bets by going along.
Hear ya ... feel the same disgust!
Alternative .., LA: WTF?!? and LA: Get the fuck outta our city!!! LA: 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
Wow! That's some seriously cosmic bull shit coming from Cosplay Border Barbie! I'm from L.A. and nothing trump has done here has made any difference, except to piss us off. And make us stronger in our resolve to reject him and his goon-laden administration. #SoftSecession4CA&LA
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
That's harsh -while I didn't read it I'm certain it got numerous likes and reposts. Awww ... it's what we're all thinking about most of the time. I recall having a talk with friends (all females) about what each of us would do in regard to this issue, IF we were told we had a fatal disease. So ... 🤷🏽♀️
If donny is going to pull this kind of dictator shit - what's the point of Congress? Maybe they should all be fired and be required to get real jobs? Think of how much $$$ they could save? /satire/
We have a path to win the House AND the Senate in 2026. Fight. Organize. A better country is possible.

THE FUCK YOU DESANTIS MOMENTS Orlandoans not being deterred 🫶🏽🏳️🌈 : There has been a steady stream of locals and folks from around the state and country showing up at Pulse to show their respects and mark the crosswalk with chalk. It’s been beautiful to see. ==================
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
So does GW Bush who permitted the assault weapons ban to expire during his presidency. And all of the GOPers who silently stood by and did nothing.

Good to know - thank you ... I'll give it a try next month (or if/when Frontline stops working).
I want to see the next Dem POTUS honor the Subway sandwich with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Ok, now let's see their donut haul! 🍩
I 💙 this! #SubwayJury And all of the grand jury ham sandwich jokes are spot-on! Here in L.A. if we ever feel the need to launch food at ICE, it should be burritos (but not the good ones - there's a lot of stuff that fits into a rolled flour tortilla). #ChingaLaMigra
Yes, my husband who worked with his dad would bring fleas home on his clothes/shoes. We've always had indoor-only cats. Thanks for your kindness, but he passed a number of years ago at a very old age. He practiced until he was 89 and he was loved by his patients (people and most pets).
Pol Tony Strickland is full of shit - GOP hasn't focused on "bread & butter" issues since the 1960s. He also calls Newsom's move "authoritarian," which is exactly what is needed to counter Texas' initial authoritarian move to redistrict at trump's behest. #HypocriticalGOP lbpost.com/news/politic...
... even the Frontline isn't lasting as long as stated. My late father-in-law was a veterinarian so I understand flea treatment, but they seem so much worse now than when he was alive and practicing.
Thanks for this info.My cat is indoor only but I think because the neighbors have dogs and grass close to my front door, the fleas jump over here. I suppose I could use the DE around the front door, although it tends to be humid here. I spray the indoor, use Frontline (Advantage stopped working) ...
I've been grabbing them off my cat, holding the little cabrones between my fingers and only letting go when my fingers are underwater in the bathroom sink. I let the water run and place a stopper over the drain. I know it seems like a lot for so little, but every dead flea counts.
How exactly do you use food-grade diatomaceous earth for controlling fleas in the house? TIA
And keeping her fingers crossed that the shooter is not a MAGAt
This description absolutely fits Trump
📌
Nah ... he's just old and has gotten almost as feeble as trump. Sad state of affairs.
WOW! Incredible piece - thank you!
And then they sundown later in the day.
No one is saying that, donny - well except for you and your minions
Donny apparently doesn't own a mirror (or it's of the fun house variety) because he hasn't realized his own level of abundant girth.
I do think he still has Pelosi in his ear. While she was incredibly effective back in the day, those practices are no longer relevant, but she's still trying to get the younger Dems to adopt them. Pelosi needs to completely leave Congress, as long as she is present, there will be discord.
When people spend most of their time posting negative comments under anything to do with Rep Jeffries instead of using that energy to uplift democrats to help them get out of the minority by electing more democrats next year then they are the problem not him. 👇 bsky.app/profile/maud...
Because that's what Black folks "do" (in dimwit donny's mind) they harm white folks. So because Gov Moore wishes to hurt donny (he doesn't actually, but in donny's mind he does), the only way to respond is to threaten to take away funds for Moore's communities. 🤦🏽♀️
Trump is such a moron - Gov Moore asked him to walk the streets of Maryland to illustrate that the communities are safe. It was an 'olive branch' dimwit donny! But of course, the dimwit is afraid of Black folks, of which Gov Moore is one, so in donny's mind, that must mean that he wishes him harm. 🤦🏽♀️
You know if Maxwell says donny did nothing "inappropriate," then we should consider her words in their correct context. When she saw him with Epstein, they were both raping young girls, which in that environment, was appropriate behavior. Not raping them would have been inappropriate. Right?
And we all realize that Vance doesn't know shit. He's just way too busy with his worldwide playground tour and waiting for donny to die that he can't be bothered with mundane policy issues.
I will never step foot in Texas - my tourism dollars agree. Fuck you Texas and Gov Abbot
Everyone needs to stop using these words/phrases 😂
Sorry, this Dem brown-black-white woman is not scrapping the word "privilege" from my vocabulary. While some of my usage did come from academia, I learned it LONG before and I feel it will likely remain relevant long after I'm gone. But I do agree that it is over used, esp. by white folks.
Not saying my current support will include endorsing a POTUS run, but I love what my governor is doing right now! Dissing donny is the best and I hope Gavin keeps it up. Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! Gavin!
I have a rainbow crosswalk near my home and I tend to drive this way just because it's so beautiful. And I ❤️ living near this community, although I'm only an ally. How could anyone not want to be surrounded by the love and beauty offered by the LGBTQ+ environs?! No wonder MAGAts are so hateful.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Now, THIS I love. Making the best of a bad situation. R E S P E C T
This is one of those cognitive dissonance MAGAt moments: first they scare the shit outta white folks "DC is SO bad we need the military to keep order;" but then it's "white folks need to move to DC so jury pools aren't so Black & liberal." If there was any chance of the latter, the former flushed it
I love this!

It's #Caturday !!! On the left is my lad, Jack, and on the right is the Princess Lia Bridget - both wishing you good cheer and sunny skies from coastal Los Angeles.
NEW: Trump, and Trump only, holds the key to the release of the complete Epstein Files & another federal judge has declared that to be the truth. The judge accurately notes the Trump Administration can “better inform the public about the Epstein case” than anyone else can. youtu.be/5sPDRTAC9Bg?...
this guy and his obsession with windmills! will someone shove one up his ass?!
And they're all waiting for donny trump to join them
This is so utterly frightening. May Dobson's departed soul never rest given what he's done to children, LGBTQ+ individuals, and the fields of education and psychology.
Yep, me too! Normally I would find this a bad idea, but anything that pisses off or screws trump, I'm all for! 👍🏽
Maybe you'll get picked up on the expansion team.
That was kinda "cute" in a fictional movie where the person who says it is a little kid. Def NOT cute or smart for it to be coming out of the brain/mouth of an elected official. #HolyShit
Despite?!? Well then, if that's the case, let's get Jack Smith back to work! C'mon MAGAts - you can't pick and choose based on political affiliation, or one POTUS' mental illness, or skin color.
Is it really Jesus? Or is it trump dressed as Jesus?
The Dems most likely thought that if they approved someone who they felt was 'somewhat normal,' that Donny would want to work with them on the other cabinet members, and even policy. Part of that ancient Dem practice of going along to get along. It died when the dinosaurs did.🦖
🤣🤣🤣🤣
¡Orale Magonistas! ✊🏽
Hmm ... someone apparently never paid attention in geography classes. Or ever looked at a map or a globe.
Couldn't pay me to shit on this hat. Or either of these two power-hungry morons.
🎼 Caturdaaaayyy ... and the livin' is easy 🎵 #Caturday #BlueskyCats
Hey Donny! I'm gonna go in my backyard in a few minutes to enjoy some late afternoon sun - wanna send over a spy drone? No ...? What if I say that I'm gonna take a doobie with me and fire it up? 🤣
Shit! Geez ... WTF is wrong with this administration?!? Donny already hates most of us, why spy on us to learn more? To hate us even more? Makes no sense. Possibly to see if we're harboring immigrants? Catch us in our backyards having sex acts? Or smoking pot? Wish I did have a gun for the drones.
Sharpie town!
I like the way you think!
They sent 20 officers to his home to arrest him on federal charges even though he tried to turn himself in?!? Fucking federal charges for throwing a sandwich?!
He should've hit her with a Subway sandwich too
Yes!
I've actually always liked Gov. Newsom. I'm especially proud that he's always gone after Donny's bull shit.
... being a Muslim that disqualifies him today, then which population is next, tomorrow? end/
So much for that 'big tent' that Dems are always bragging about. Mamdani wins his primary and I expect the Dem Party to get behind him. If they can't (or won't) then they need to understand why Blacks, Hispanics, LGBTQ+, et al. are no longer so keen to be Democrats. If it's Mandami ... 1/
Gloomy morning in coastal Los Angeles. Lia has decided to go 'undercover'. #cat #catsky#Caturday is coming
It sounds as if we're heading toward having a national Big Balls Day holiday in our future ... you know thoughts and prayers for all of the lame-ass MAGA bros who've have the shit beat out of them by teenage girls.
I suspect that a lot of corporations, the media and the like initially thought that if they went along with his antics, he'd move on or be more agreeable in future endeavors (much like parenting a toddler). Not sure if anyone has realized it doesn't work in the long run. Also like parenting toddlers
I'm surprised you had to even announce that - I just assumed it was common knowledge. I'd like to say that I pity the imbecile(s) who committed the crime(s), but nah ... they should have fouken known better.
Trump is a bigoted fascist operating at a third-grade reading level whose policies are completely incoherent. He believes in absolutely nothing but attention, wealth and power. the closest the NYT can get to explaining this to readers is to proclaim "this isn't your grandpa's republican party"
I know ... wish I could vote for him! Maybe in a few years when Senator Turek runs for POTUS we can all vote for him.
good likeness
I absolutely love Tim Miller from @thebulwark.com Clearly wannabe ICE agent Dean Cain is unable to discern the difference between a former actor veering way out of his lane and a former political comms guy talking about politics (same lane). And he's too old. www.huffpost.com/entry/dean-c...

Holy shit is right! Wow ... an incredible ad for an incredible individual!

I'd like to create a small variety of signs on sticks that I could whip out as needed while driving (kinda like the bidding paddles at auctions). Things like "Hi Tesla Nazi," "Ever heard of turn-signals, asshole?" "Nice roll through that stop sign, shit bird!"
This perfectly sums up the American people. It's pathetic and we don't want to think this of our family, friends, and neighbors, but ...
Not sure I want longevity with this political bull shit going on. But ... the great news about this is we know who doesn't walk (let alone fast) and hoping it contributes to his shortened life.
At some point during the addict life cycle, there is also the MLM-sell-herbal-supplements-to-regain-healthfulness stage.

So she could go out to work one day, hire a private jet, and leave the country.
Trump would never have any kind of secret policy -he has to brag about everything he thinks (let alone, attempts to implement). Of course these (brags, promises, et al.) generally come back to bite him in the ass, and that's when he rolls out the lying/blame games.It's how he's lived his entire life
