There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Creating an axis of evil 👿

This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
Agree Mr. Reich ! Chump's Regime Is Only about Him,RepubliKKKans And Their Wealthy Donors......
It's not only voter suppression. It's highly racist too!
The tariffs are ILLEGAL! End them now! Totally unfair to everyone but Felon47. apnews.com/article/trum... finds Trump's tariffs an illegal use of emergency power, but leaves them in place for now
If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
so the massively overhyped machine built on stolen property by people who don’t give a shit not only will replace your job but it’ll also try to help kill you. got it. pretty easy messaging if we’re being honest
Think about this: 14% of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in *the past week.*
You'll notice that "Successfully triangulating to avoid difficult issues using polling you conduct yourself" isn't an option.
He is an evil stupid pawn of the most racist bigoted people in “our” country, and lies flow from his putrid mouth without pause.
Gov. Wes Moore is the 63rd Governor of the state of Maryland. He is Maryland’s first Black Governor in the state’s 246-year history, and is just the third African American elected Governor in the history of the U.S. He received a Bronze Star for his heroic service in Afghanistan.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has filed a new legal action to block his immediate deportation. The habeas petition has been assigned to Judge Paula Xinis, who handled earlier legal proceedings demanding his return from El Salvador. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71191...
Ah yes, the famous Biden census of 2020… when Donald Trump was President.
Governor Moore is not having it‼️ #Pinks #ProudBlue
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy
1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
JUST IN: On X, DHS says that Kilmar Abrego Garcia “will be processed for removal to Uganda.”
CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country? KEVIN HASSETT: It's possible, yeah. That's absolutely right.
The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/who-really...
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
That's trumpflation.
Sending the National Guard to police cities and masked ICE agents to kidnap people is full-blown authoritarianism. This cannot stand.
Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles seems to have been just the start of an authoritarian takeover of American cities. This is not leadership. This is a scary, unlawful grab for power, and we should all be deeply concerned.
Blind loyalty, kool-aid drinking, sheep, cult, etc!

"Trump showed the world what an 'America First' foreign policy looks like in practice—attacks on allies, capitulation to dictators, and the abandonment of any remaining pretense that the United States will support and defend democracy around the world."
Illinois stands with Ukraine today, and always. Slava Ukraini!
FIRE WHISKEYLEAKS PETE NOW
Through MAGA’s reality-distorting mirror, we’re a bunch of sore losers for ever casting shade on their lawful 2016 win, hypocrites for having criminally prosecuted their patriotic attacks on what they see as our fake 2020 win, and downright traitors for resisting the consequences of their 2024 win.

"If you want to have a coup against the constitutional order, you want to control the capital city. And if he has control of the policing in the city of Washington...Who's gonna tell him to leave the White House?" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @jvl.bsky.social:
Thank you for this!
Remember when Russian state media called her “our girl Tulsi”?
🚨BREAKING: The California Supreme Court has DENIED the GOP's emergency petition to block the state’s new redistricting plan, ruling that GOP lawmakers had “failed to meet their burden of establishing a basis for relief” under the state Constitution. Follow @democracydocket.com for full details.
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
“Science envy” and I always through some form of rhetorical community/social embeddedness would impress me far more than attempting to become an ethnographer overnight for a project
Such a vile pig
Trump calling murderous war criminal Putin his “fabulously great friend” and “Boss” proved that no matter what disgusting things someone does as long as they have power and wealth will still be Trump’s “friend” Like Epstein. Trump remained friends with Pedophile Epstein until his death #ProudBlue
If you don’t think Trump is compromised, ask yourself how Ghislaine Maxwell got a meeting with Todd Blanche and how Putin got a summit on American soil.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Loved Neil Young already. Love him more…now.
Thank you. And thank you for reposting.
American soldiers, ON THEIR KNEES, rolling out a red carpet, for a merciless murderer. ABOMINABLE.
And he took off his platform shoes that make him slant forward.
“Why would it be something you wouldn't consider criminal as to your own personal decision with your partner, but, as to Lizelle, that personal decision is now homicide?” the ACLU's Lauren Johnson told Jezebel. www.jezebel.com/texas-da-who...
I am once again begging everyone not to participate in the John Bolton Rehabilitation & Monetization Tour.
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
Gut wrenching and terrifying to have this angel disappear. If you’ve traveled in the vicinity of Lake Buchanan in Texas in the last few days or know silence who has, please share with anyone who might have seen or picked him up near Hwy 261. #lostdogs #llanocounty #BuchananDam
It was clear the Russians weren’t there to negotiate in good faith when Sergei Lavrov arrived wearing a sweater with CCCP on it They were trolling Trump from the beginning—and Trump enthusiastically let himself be trolled. (CCCP is Cyrillic for USSR, a nod to Russia’s current expansionist goals.)
Photo of Putin and Trump in Russia…from NYT. Did T take out the inserts from his shoes so he doesn’t slant?
Trump is going to give away Alaska’s precious minerals to Vladimir Putin.
Holy shit! This is outrageously WRONG and obviously criminal behavior. Those damned uniforms serve them as entitlement to assault.
Governor Newsom on the media’s feigned outrage over his Trump-style posts: What an admission! Where have they been not asking Donald Trump this?
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
CA Governor Gavin Newsom confirms that he will call for redistricting to offset any gains Trump and the GOP attempt to make and says Trump will try to stay in office past his second term. Newsom also confirms that ICE officers were sent to the presser in an attempt to harass and intimidate.
Last night in D.C., community members documented officers as they conducted random traffic stops and arrested several people. They told the officers to leave and some stationed themselves at the corner of the street warning drivers to turn left to avoid ICE.
District Attorney of Philadelphia:
HAPPENING NOW: Day 3 of the bench trial in Newsom v. Trump. The state of California is seeking to enjoin Trump's use of the military for law enforcement purposes. Judge Charles Breyer just took the bench to hear legal argument from the parties. I'm covering for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow 🧵⬇️🧵

Take the time to watch. Wish I could vote for him!!
Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
Here’s the deal, America! We don’t care about political party when it comes to pedophilia. We won’t stop until they are ALL exposed for this sickness. Unlike MAGA, Dems don’t praise the trafficking and raping of young girls. #Pinks #Voices4Victory #DemVoice abcnews.go.com/US/court-doc...
“President Donald Trump has expanded his military campaign against the United States…” is the only way we knew how to start this piece.
THIS is what I immediately remembered.

She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.
"Habibi..." I wish I could afford to live in NY so I could vote for him.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
It's helpful... I've just started and I feel less scattered and agitated already

Replacing the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics with a stooge, proclaiming that crime is up when it’s down, and taking over the Smithsonian are all about trying to take over facts. But facts are facts whether or not Trumpists agree.
