Again: Faith leaders *themselves* have long also criticized "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric — including leader's Leavitt's own Catholic tradition. Here are some examples from the past 24 hours, including a statement from Sisters of Mercy of the Americas (Catholic nuns) on the shooting.
Was it the same black paint that was used in 2020?🤔👇😏 www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Trump wants to control the arts, sports, comedy, universities, news, opinion, etc. It's called dictatorship.
Listening to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social's marathon speech and I just went to CHURCH!
We’re lighting the I-35W bridge green tonight and tomorrow in honor of Melissa Hortman, who found joy and peace in trees and gardens 🌳
Texas and Florida seem to be the strongest MAGA hold and the proving ground for everything that Trump is trying to run through the federal government. I think Texas is worse, but DeSantis is a mini Trump and doesn't care to hide it. Not anytime against the state or people, more talking govt.
Tuberville has set his own bar for racist comments pretty high and I think this tops it.
Me. I said it. And I stand by it.
Just some of us? That's really sweet.

Late posting this, but these stats @politicojoe.bsky.social shares, Where are the violent criminals TACO keeps talking about in these press conferences?
Sending you strength, my friend. And if I had one, an invisible cloaking device.
Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.
Another day to note: A criminal administration is alienating our allies, destroying our international standing & isolating us in this world. Why is it allowed to continue? Where are our lawmakers? They have the authority & ability to stop it NOW. Why are they impotent? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
🧵 1/2 US citizen tackled by ICE in downtown LA—for filming them harassing street vendors. They pinned him face-down, punched him, & then left him seizing on the street. When his family tried to intervene, they were shoved & threatened. The man never touched an ICE thug. Video in 2 parts
🧵 I don’t post these videos for clicks, drama, or followers. I share them because we have to stay informed. Fascism doesn’t arrive with fanfare—it creeps in, disguised, normalized. What happened in Mission Viejo should chill every one of us.
Impunity and immunity
If it were me, I certainly wouldn't travel to a red state. And probably not to a state you weren't born in or currently reside in. This is effing chaos. And anything can happen at any moment.
Out of Florida, yes. Out of the US, maybe. I'm in KY and I'm trying to get my adult kids out of the state, preferably out of the country.
🇺🇲 When will Americans flood the streets to PROTEST their BROKEN, CORRUPT Supreme Court system? #SCOTUSIsCorruptAF
So true, I believe if you follow the money, it will lead to the criminal in the White House. He is running a crime syndicate that will not answer to anyone as pockets are being lined with money.
Arbeit Macht Frei
Constitution? I thought he had done away with that.
He just wanted to say 69 during a press conference
Done done and done.... And it's not working...
No way he could spell that
You're implying he's ever had a therapist.
Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.
I love this kind of "helping"
😳 🇺🇸
Jamie Raskin's excellent book about the many failures & traumas of the Trump administration was "Unthinkable". I believe the best title for the follow up book will be "Unimaginable". @raskin.house.gov

Kegsbreath He'll be remembered only for treason
That's not National Guard
Fellow lawyer friend of mine who does Immigration in #LosAngeles sent this. #ICE is denying people legal counsel; tear-gassing the lawyers they do allow; tear-gassing small kids. This is only the beginning; having basically memorized Project 2025, I can assure you, things only get worse. from here.
ICE, as directed by Trump, is doing exactly these things. I’m worried sick the WAY too many Americans are either not informed about it - or worse, don’t care. Trump’s lifelong dream is to become a ruthless dictator ala Putin/Hitler/KimJongUn. He’s accomplishing Nazi Germany.
Leader of @seiuca.bsky.social was almost murdered by ICE. He now faces charges. The union, one of the largest in the US, is calling for a demonstration on Monday.
And yet, the bill passed so far. He's just a peon there to defend other people's writing of the bill. I'm not mad at him.
It doesn't matter how many times you explain it, he still won't understand
It was GOLD and so obvious. Of course it flew right over his orange head.
Republicans are so embarrassed by their bill, that they won't even read it aloud... Many have used the excuse after signing that they haven’t read it at all!! Because it’s shameful!!
Elon Musk is choking a black community with air pollution to run a racist chatbot on a right-wing social media site. The next phase will double the gas turbines. A short vid on a dataset I found showing the scale of this problem Part 1 below, or full on YT here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrQC...
Is not enough enough already? Will you really allow the trump-regime to get away with even more terrorism/war on the people? Is it not high time to FULFILL YOUR OATH !?
Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...
That's what Trump is trying to find out
And jasmine Crockett
“A peaceful protest, and this is what we’re greeted with. Where’s our right to protest?” As Governor Newsom says, they want violence and a spectacle. Imagine the reaction if Biden sent thousands of National Guardsmen and Blackhawks to Tennessee against Gov Lee’s wishes.
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
1/My faith teaches me to love my neighbor, feed the hungry, and clothe the naked – not turn our backs on our most vulnerable by cutting access to health care and food from tens of thousands of Iowans and putting our rural hospitals at risk.
Here’s the Democrat running against Joni Ernst! Please give him a follow and your support. Let’s get Ernst out of Congress! @sageforiowa.bsky.social
Joni Ernst on Medicaid cuts: “we all are going to die” JD Vance on school shootings: they are a “fact of life” Donald Trump on toys for children: two dolls are enough And Trump after a school shooting: “…get over it, we have to move forward” These people are incapable of governing. Or humaning.
I mean true, up until this point FORMAL declarations of war have been done that way. However, I didn't feel like this administration is doing things with formality or normalcy.
This is incredibly sadly accurate
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
There are so many choices; Panama, Greenland, Mexico, Canada, maybe even Ukraine. /s
Yet
According to Trump and his cabal It’s illegal to criticize him Voice dissent to a side he disfavors in an armed conflict Represent anyone who opposes him in a court of law Receive grants-even if they were approved-with which he disagrees Or protest corrupt billionaires if they’re his friends
School shootings " thoughts and prayers" Tesla - will hurt you. Keep the boycott going
Two days later, everyone at VOA has reportedly been fired.
Certainly not waiting on them, but it would be helpful if there was a leader to stand to.
Hey! Not this, or all, farmers! There are plenty of progressive farmers.
I was gonna say the same thing. I love seeing these (re)connections happen.
That's doing us & them no good!
I think there are more. Al Green & Bernie Sanders, obviously. Maxwell Frost and a few others. But their response is too scattered and weak. There isn't a cohesive, organized effort.
Would be an impeachable offense if it were any other presidency on any other timeline.
AND have the most dominant, golden age on the planet Earth. DUH! So. Much. Winning. /s
Such bullshit that Trump claimed to bring back free speech while removing people with dissenting opinions from his SOTU, starting with Al Green. Trump is a fraud. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...
What I wouldn't give to have a flippant emo in the Senate right now!!
Forced and timed
38,000 workers died he says Trump always lies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...
"38000 workers died" he says Per usual, that's a lie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...
@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social DO SOMETHING!!
Gotta fund raise so they can keep "fighting". /s
Really calling himself out there.
But ... Wait ... Does he... *Sigh*
Fucking bullshit @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social!! Step down and let someone with a guts take charge!
Indeed, I am ALSO fucking pissed!! Why are they NOT making a scene? Who cares if the GOP gets fuel from it?
I DO NOT feel liberated. 🤬
I'd buy one
Always read the fine print.
They have to make sure he's holding up his end of the bargain.
We're looking for someone to lead Good Trouble. This ain't it.
Brazen.
We made them give up their nukes during the fall of the USSR in exchange for ongoing military protection. We literally owe them our support. This is not being said by anyone and should be.
Somewhere? He's in the next room holding hands with Leon and cheering.
Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.
So embarrassing. So disgraceful. So underhanded.
I shared this with my MAGA mother in law and her reply was "I'm not eating bat so I'm not worried." Ahhh yes. Let's only worry about you. Additionally, that's not what the article says. 🤬
Democrats are out in front of the Treasury right now, demanding answers! This is EXACTLY the fight we want to see.
The incompetence and AUDACITY is jaw dropping. Not quite shocking because... Well, big dumb orange man. But WTF. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...
Where is Sarah Cooper? She's the only reason I could handle these press conferences.
From this morning
Last week.
He's going to get the air traffic controller killed.
My daughter just had a webinar canceled because government scientists were not allowed to participate. She got an internship with a prestigious health nonprofit, but didn’t even apply for an NIH fellowship because she knew what was going to happen. We’re robbing a whole generation (and ourselves).
