😡 GRRRRR!
We will NEVER be a dictatorship! We will never be a monarchy. We will forever be a constitutional democracy, a federal republic, a free people who have a say in our government.
Pope Leo understands, like hie predecessor, Francis. May their understanding, and clear, intelligent message of hope and change resound across this world.
Growing up, our elders would challenge us to get an education, get experience, and then come home and help our communities. That's exactly what I did. I served as Navajo Nation President, and now I'm running for Congress to keep delivering for rural Arizona.
Agreed! From Missouri. Many of us are trying!
That is too sad. And very wrong.
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
Crazy!
Well done, Coach.
This man is an authentic American hero A Black man facing armed federal agents to stand up for his youth baseball team. Brave. www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
The CDC quietly did lots of work that keeps everyone safe. RFK ruining it is something that can negatively impact the health of millions of people. It’s both tragic and scary. www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Science is real
The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.
California stepping up.
Wonder how many people listened to this in a church this morning and yet will also go online or in the streets later today and call for the shutting of borders and for those in the most desperate need to be turned away?
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Oh yeah, these guys.
Hitler's Brownshirts were recruited from the unemployed, common criminals, and thugs. Then it got worse
Their proposal? A special panel (similar to the one created after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks) that would award them damages for what they claim were “unfair prosecutions.” The very people who fueled a violent insurrection now want the government to cut them a check.
But now they’re demanding more. In recent weeks, those same rioters and their lawyers have been lobbying the Justice Department, pushing for financial restitution.
On his first day back in the White House, Trump granted clemency to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. That pardon gave them their freedom and even seemed to satisfy their initial calls for revenge.
😡
Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. We’ve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!
It’s important to stay abreast of the news, to organize, and to resist what’s happening in all ways possible, but it’s equally important to preserve your sanity. Play with your pets, enjoy your families, work on hobbies. Pace yourselves. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Love to you all.💙
It’s back to school season! 📝 Before they came for our agency, we would publish virtual bookshelves throughout the year highlighting NEH-funded projects and works. We found this one tucked away on the website and thought we’d share. shorturl.at/xrUP9
Sweet!
Thanks. How did you know? ❤️
Incredibly wrong that the CDC is ignored and RFK, Jr. is the mouthpiece for ANY medical information! Sometimes I just can't anymore.
A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.
Thanks Beth! @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social @swansonrodney.bsky.social @sandor22.bsky.social @resist4harris.bsky.social @mersyme.bsky.social @oneveteransoath.substack.com @stephen5150.bsky.social @agb2g.bsky.social @weriseupagain.bsky.social @liberalwarrior.bsky.social @arlie.bsky.social
And with that, I'm going back to my book. Goodnight everyone.
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
Here he goes.
I have something in my eyes...
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.

Lotta folks upset a journalist interviewed a kid after yesterday’s shooting and I have thoughts. If this is what you are angry about you’ve missed the kid’s message. Stop school shootings — not with drills or locked doors or thoughts and prayers — but with gun control.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Everyone deserves access to care—without fear, without intimidation.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
"Minnesota has permissive gun laws. Yesterday showed us what that means for kids." by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/insideme...
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Multiple CDC leaders have resigned in the wake of layoffs and a shooting at the agency’s headquarters this month.
Guess I missed this one. And yes, I even check out the stories I like.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
JD Vance posted “It is shocking to me that so many left wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy.” A father responded.
Just had a routine doctor’s appointment and I didn’t know this - the pharma companies couldn’t even ship the fall Covid vaccines without FDA approval. So, I guess we’re lucky they are available for people with pre-existing conditions this year.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
😂🤣!
Agreed. And I AM American.

9% of US troops surveyed say they would obey any order they are given, even if it is illegal. 9% say they don’t know what they’d do. 2% refused to answer. The majority understand their legal duty to disobey illegal orders.
Living the best life... 😊 #dog #dogday #bluesky
This is disgraceful so very wrong in many ways.
Thank you, Captain Blaha! Now let's pray that many of them listen and do the right thing.
Thank you, Captain Blaha. Let's pray many of them listen and do the right thing.
If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.
Continuing from the last post, let’s be blunt. None of it makes sense. No one should be taking the word of someone convicted of sex trafficking minors. She’s lounging in a “vacation prison” after everything she did.
In the coming weeks, the Trump regime plans to mobilize 1,700 National Guard troops to 19 states—most of which are Republican-controlled—to support ICE, their domestic terrorist organization. They’re targeting these states: AL, AR, FL, GA, ID, IN, IA, LA, NE, NV, NM, OH, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WY
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
Israel showing the US how to do it. Are we watching?
As well as the US.
People, ultimately, have the power. Rise up, everyone everywhere.
Blithering incoherent moron.
This... it's all about priorities
Hear, hear!
This ain’t no stinkin’ television show. Sherrod Brown can flip this Senate seat. Early support is crucial. If you’re able, give what you can today. Let’s GO!!!!

You're not required to show ID unless they witnessed you committing a crime. Ask "Am I being detained or am I free to go?"

When an American President stands alongside a murderous dictator and declares to trust that man more than our public servants across the aisle, more than our nation’s Press, he’s stepped out into the stark light of day and revealed himself. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-maga-a...
Not a bad idea.
There's a definitive reason why Germany has no statues, monuments, nor forts named for Nazis.
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
This reads like an invitation for MAGA extremists like the Pizza Gate shooter to open-carry in DC.
Now is the time to be curious about our universe, to be imaginative about all its possibilities, including the potential for humans to live in good and sustainable relations with each other and the ecosystems that we depend upon. This is a time of stubborn freedom dreaming.
"The rise of fascism in the United States convinced the Guthrie family and their associates that the music scene needed a dose of Guthrie’s anti-authoritarian, anti-racist, Nazi-punching ethos." #woodyguthrie #folkmusic #antifascist
criticizing politicians is good actually, we should be able to push them in a better direction given they are meant to represent us and our interests
Capitalism’s endgame is fascism.
“Emergency” is a word w/meaning that should be justified by facts. FBI data suggests that Memphis, Cleveland,Toledo & Little Rock have higher crime rates. The media would do well to interrogate the basis for the exercise of emergency powers rather than “residents say crime really is bad” stories.

NEVER!
While atomic bomb survivors warn the catastrophic risks, leaders of nuclear-armed states and self-proclaimed 'realists' argue that the deterrence of nuclear weapons is what keeps them from being deployed.
