Run faster, Petey Pout Face.
More of this.
Migrate, immigrate, emigrate. All are similar, yet different! 🥹
Ooops! He meant immigration! But Elon IS an immigrant, so he has play with the language. Sadly, his creepy politics have led many people emigrate. 🤷🏼♀️

Who took this creepy picture, and what were they hoping to achieve? Also, I don’t know if that lady deserves a medal, but she should probably get a tetanus shot. Maybe a rabies shot too.
What they want when they say "Make America Great Again!"
Oy, if thoughts and prayers worked, DT would be dead already. 😐
“The time is always right to do what is right.” - Martin Luther King Jr. No more waiting.
Please don’t equate twats with that 🍊💩, twats are infinitely more valued and esteemed in polite society.
Omg, when in the world have men not dominated literature? If a man writes a book, then the audience is for men and women. When a woman writes a book, it’s just for other women. This is part of the problem. Women can empathize with men and women, but most men can only empathize with men.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Well, not all of us, but I see your point. Just weird that everything always has to be so male-centric. And they say we’re the crazy ones. 🤷🏼♀️
Oh you’re right! He should know better! At least we’re not in a drought right now.
Plagiarized and AI book reports will not receive consideration.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Science is real
He’s not from California. We don’t waste water like that!
So true
One day my thoughts and prayers will come true. 🪦
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Remember Emmitt Till. Stop erasing Black history.
“Blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” — Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
Oh. God won’t take this one. Satan, you’re up!
They’re going to wait until he’s been Pres for 2 whole years, if he stays alive that long, then they’ll pull the trigger on the 25th. That way Vance can have 10 years in office and some semblance of legitimacy.
These farm workers work under a UFW contract in CA’s central coast and negotiated good practices like hydration stations in the fields. These are especially important on days like last week when they were under and extreme heat advisory as the temps reached the high 90’s. #WeFeedYou
He’s probably wrong though, much of Trump’s base are elderly daytime Fox News watchers - they vote by mail! 😂
Her dad was pretty messed up. Doesn’t excuse her behavior, but hurt people hurt people.
Lawmakers Hold Stocks in Defense, Energy, and Tech Companies They Oversee readsludge.com/2025/08/22/l...
They call your Social Security & Medicare 'Entitlements' so you don't call them something silly like 'Earned Benefits.'
Oh no! Those good for nothing thugs? We’ll starve!
“Real officers do not wear ski masks”.
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.
Workers are weeding the cilantro beds on their knees on CAs Central Coast. They are near the beach where it is damp. Some of the workers are wearing vinyl chaps on their legs to stay dry, while others don't have anything to protect themselves from the wet ground. #WeFeedYou
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
Sunday Fun Fact: How did NPS hats come to be what they are today? Buffalo soldiers and the US Army were involved. Another treasured tradition we owe to our rich diversity. (Credit: Flora_and_Frost)
@usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social I think you got duped at Adelanto.

Lightening speed attempt to turn the USA into a dictatorship. How many votes are lost if women lose their right to vote?
So true. I get that a strong handshake is preferable, but a couple of times they have literally crushed my hand. Like what are these guys trying to prove?
ICE showed up. He ran. Now he’s dead on the 210. Gavin Newsom—arrest these agents. Under CA’s Bane Act & Penal Code 192, no one is above the law. Not even federal thugs. #CD32 #ChrisAhuja #AhujaCongress2026 #BradShermanDoesNothing #Ahuja
Fun fact: John Dougan, a former Palm Beach County Sheriff's Deputy, has the only known copy of the full video archives seized from Epstein's house. He is also one of only 4 people ever granted asylum to Moscow, where he now resides.
I always wanted to be a humanitarian.
They’re clearing the tents by hand? No gloves??? Karma’s comin’! And this time, her name is Scabies 😆
Some powerful art spotted on the streets of Seattle
This is only going to get worse as they continue to deport the workforce…
C’mon karma! Keep it coming! Those losers sat on that poor woman’s head in the midst of all of this, rifled through her purse, knocked off her shoes, and maybe dislocated her shoulder. One towed car is only a start. More please!
But let him keep trying for it - it’s about the only thing keeping him from leveling all of Palestine and half of Ukraine so he can build ocean front golf resorts. 😖
Big win for stopping book bans: In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries. “None Of These Books Are Obscene.” #booksky bookriot.com/penguin-rand...
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
I can’t believe people believed him! The man lies like a penny in a parking lot. He lies like the rug on my living room floor! He never stops lying, it’s all he does. 🙂↔️
WATCH THIS: ICE took 17-year-old Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz off the street, left his dog to dodge cars, and laughed about the $2,500 bounty they just made. He’s now shivering in an overcrowded cell. At home? His mom is raising 3 little boys alone, including twin babies.
Newsom is often an asshole (derogatory), but sometimes he is an asshole (laudatory)
This energy is everything. We keep pressuring Newsom to rise to his power. It’s working.
Trump sends armed ICE agents to taunt Gov Newsom. If you don't see the parallels between Trump's ICE and Hitler's brownshirts you simply don't know history. We need Democratic AGs to begin arresting ICE agents. They might have degree of immunity but let them prove that in court.
Hello Fellow Resisters !🧚♀️🤟🌊💜😃In support of Governor Newsom of California and his redistricting proposals and plea to other blue states to get on board, I have contacted my Wa. State Governor Bob Ferguson and sent my message that we should support and follow suit! Can't hurt to contact your Governor!
Are any other Democratic governors getting their state ready for Tr*mp's imminent attempt to steal the midterm elections like Gavin Newsom is in Cali? I'm no Newsom fan but he did some good work today.
Republicans aren't used to being punched in the mouth. They're used to doing all the punching while Dems bend over backwards to try to be bipartisan even as they're being punched in the mouth. I hate Newsom in so many ways, but he's punching Republicans in the mouth. Thank god someone is. Sheesh.
gavin newsom is a piece of shit who happens to see an opportunity in attacking an even bigger piece of shit. if newsom wins the fight, that's good. if he can beat the big turd and then lose to a decent person, that's great. harm reduction means even newsom is an improvement. he's still not a goal.
Posse comitatus - In the United States, a federal statute known as the Posse Comitatus Act, enacted in 1878, limits the use of the US Army (and, as amended, the US Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Space Force), as a posse comitatus or for law enforcement purposes without the approval of Congress.
DC right now! #Resist
This is what "Pepe's" hands looks like after harvesting tomatos all day. He has the option of wearing gloves, but they slow him down. When you're working piece rate you can't afford to be slowed down. He needs to make every penny he can during the peak season. #WeFeedYou
There is no crime problem… “Crime” is a response to a problem The problem is poverty… The problem is inequity
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
"Mario" works harvesting strawberries on CAs Central Coast. He tells us, "It's tiring because we work all day bent over. We need to move very fast to make a lot of boxes. But there is no option if we want to earn enough to pay our rent." #WeFeedYou
Setting up for Night of Broken Glass??
The Civil War never ended. And like a virus held in permafrost, Trump thawed the MAGA white nationalists and freed them from their hibernation. We are at war. Act accordingly. Freedom requires persistent vigilance. Defend our people, all people, our Constitution, and our democracy. Fight!
The USA owes so much to these people. Especially because we are living on land that we took from indigenous people.
Recent reporting has exposed dozens of cases where US citizens, including children, cancer patients, and members of Native American and Latino communities, were unlawfully swept up in ICE raids and held for days or weeks without legal recourse. Some were physically assaulted or deported w/o consent.
Yes, these bots are active on Bluesky. Yes, the accounts that constantly shit talk Democrats no matter the subject are bots. Yes, they are actively working to influence the midterms and suppress voter turnout. Yes, the corporate media are influenced by these bots.
On Wednesday, ICE GOONS arrested a mother in the school drop-off line at Inzunza Camarina Elementary in Chula Vista, leaving her two children in the car.

On this day in 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager, was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury refused to indict the officer, who was never held accountable.

$1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich - that’s robbery!
“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.” James Baldwin, 1924-1987 Book bans and the war on truth enable white grievance by obscuring fact, erasing context & denying accurate American history. Facts are freedom.
“This is the charged, the dangerous moment, when everything must be re-examined, must be made new, when nothing at all can be taken for granted” From the '65 Selma to Montgomery March for Voting Rights to the right here, the right now @rustincenter.bsky.social thanx James Baldwin for inspiration!
Ending prison for teens might seem like a pipe dream in the age of Donald Trump. But when it comes to girls, who are less likely than boys to commit violence, this fantasy could be closer to reality than you’d think.
