It's our rights and protections being tossed out the window. "Don't need this one, or this one, toss this one, too..."
Right now in Michigan, we’re in the middle of a budget showdown. The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General – and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.
If he's not around anymore, he can't pardon anyone. Some people should be thinking about this.
Most of Trump’s tariffs are illegal, federal court rules
Police officers in Livonia, Michigan quickly responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. They used a grappler to stop the car within seconds. When the car tried to drive away, the grappler tore off its wheels and rear bumper. 📹 Video provided by the Livonia Police Department.

Higher in Michigan. Some items aren't being restocked. A lot of imports, gone.
Yes, it's just starting. Anything Navarro says in defense of the regime is a lie. We will all suffer while they celebrate. Buckle up!
Can you blame them? www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...
It's easy to see the difference in color, the decals are so brassy looking compared to the urns (?) on the mantel. He has spent quite a bit on this crap. peer.org/no-cutbacks-...
Institution after institution, created, constructed, designed, funded, maintained, for generations for this exact moment and the cowards at the top, all of whom know damn well what they've got on their hands, did nothing and hoped someone else would bell the cat.
🤣😂🤣😂
Meanwhile, they're swearing in members of NG as US Marshals. bsky.app/profile/reic...
I suppose now we get to watch him pretend to become a born again televangelist. Jesus wants you to send money to me for some evil plan. A new circle of Hell will be named for him!
Wow, he blocked me for replying with updated information? 😂
DeJoy resigned on March 24.
I'd love to see all of them wearing Zelenskyy's uniform!
Tin soldiers and Donald’s comin. We’re finally on our own
If he won all of the swing states, why do Republicans need to gerrymander?

He was shamed yesterday so he must act out on those he cares nothing from, us.
The far right is circulating a deceptive petition that will make it harder for women, people of color and low-income residents to vote. If you’re asked to sign “Americans for Citizen Voting,” decline to sign it. Thank you. #indivisiblemetrodetroit #indivisible
"The words of the prophets were written on the Subway walls." Or paralegals, as the case may be.
the stuff in here about the Michigan senate primary is accurate and infuriating.
The American press and public really need to figure out how to simply dismiss Trump's pretextual claims for authoritarian attacks and then resist the attack itself, not debate the claim. We have spent months asking "but is the Ivy League really antisemitic?" and now "but is DC really crime-ridden?"
Ain't this brilliant? Tell me #bluesky #booksky #blacksky
The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
Governor Whitmer has been silent. Slotkin and Peters have been silent.
The only place in DC where crime is up is the White House.
Now that a judge ruled it is bribery, it gives Abbot a leg to stand on? (sorry)
The pedo's tariffs are causing depression in consumers' wallets right now. Maybe this regime should desist on the HUGE spending. Money coming in from tariffs is immediately blown on unnecessary projects, funding his expansion of government control. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...
He's using the decorator version of Lee Press on Nails.
Prisoners count for the census, right? I imagine a lot of shuffling will happen from blue and swing states to red.
He's aching to be Goldfinger.

Social Security is on pace for an $18,100 cut for the average retiring couple in only 7 years if its finances are not fixed. DC politicians are failing to step up and fix this for seniors. In Congress, I will fight to ensure seniors receive what they've earned. www.crfb.org/blogs/retire...
She is disgusting and a liar. Her district needs to be redrawn.
First Donald Trump cleared the field for Mike Rogers. Now the same far-right oil baron billionaire backing the Texas gerrymandering scheme just gave five MILLION to his SuperPAC. Michigan voters will decide who wins this race. Not the highest bidder.

My hometown, Wyandotte MI, has had city owned water, electricity, and cable for years. No one is complaining. Older article but the facts remain. bridgemi.com/quality-life...
He has Weisselberg to do math for him. It's a new math, the best math.
Thank you, Sandi, for documenting what's happening all over the country. 💔💔💔
We all have to find our joy somewhere. 😄
Motherfucking wind farms…
Why dont they just admit it, it's the throne room. It's time, people.
Canada and Mexico just signed a deal, they don't care what the pedo wants.

#10 ...They’re banking on your exhaustion. Betting you’ll scroll yourself into stillness. That you’ll rage until you’re brittle— and then collapse quietly in the corner. But rest is not retreat. It’s resistance...
If you find out, let me know. I have a 5 month old grandson, it grieves me that he will grow up with the effects of this administration and whatever happens afterward. Living the nightmare...
He would also demand a yearly payment for using his name. TrumPedo.
It was rape, trumpedo raped those girls.
So very sorry for your loss. Take your time, take care of you and yours. 💐
In the modern era, authoritarians don't use censorship to shut down opposition media--they use ownership. Modern dictators force media companies that air opposition voices to sell to pro-regime oligarchs. The Trump regime is trying to use this playbook on TikTok.
Tomorrow's front page on The National in Scotland 📰 Convicted US felon to arrive in Scotland. Our Scottish friends are not messing around.
Wow Eden Sings, sings this so well. What a powerful song. Her version of America the beautiful, America the sorrowful 💜
If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September
But, they want to require 80 hours of work a month (20 each week) in order to be eligible for Medicaid.
They Knew, she researched so she knew. Sarah told us!
This week, MDP Chair @curtisherteljr.bsky.social calls out Trump’s disastrous economic policies that killed the $55 billion semiconductor plant project in Genesee County— the same policies Michigan Republicans like John James, Matt Hall, and Aric Nesbitt support. PartyOnThePeninsulas.com
Epstein is also real! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Sort of like no taxation without representation. If the federal government discontinues services, shouldn't we discontinue paying for them?
If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?
CBS should make hour long blooper tapes and play his most embarrassing moments every night during that hour. Include Epstein! Or, not agree to his ridiculous terms?
I guess we'll be seeing more of Melania, she'll want to stick close so she can watch in person when he falls over. Then, write a book.
Next he will sue the citizens of the world that read it.
It seems to me it's a lair, don't go in alone! 😮
Sugar beets supply a lot of sugar for us too, and they dont have to be grown in the south.
Smoke on the water...🎶🎶
Canada is tired of having the tariffs raised on us for the Epsteinth time. 💀😂
There's more than just a list! CDs and hard drives were stashed in bins and drawers throughout Epstein's 8 story, 40 room townhouse. Plus the safe. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
I'm never going to be able to donate to Toys for Tots again. Wtf marines?!
This has to stop! There's been a theme song all along. Listen to Santana's 1999 song about ICE. Link to video in the article along with lyrics in Spanish and English. activismjoystudio.com/revolution-s...

It doesn't take an expert to figure that out!
I downloaded my free copy then I found it at Bookshop.org for under $5. It can't hurt to have a physical copy available.
It's just sickening! My rep right next to Moses, ugh. I know redistricting is good for most, but it booted me out of blue and into deep bloody red. They don't even run a serious D candidate against her!

Read Judge Luttig's essay, it's happening again! The King “obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers” and “he has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries"
Happy Independence Day from Samuel Adams.
Gaping pig...
Now they hire the mercenaries.
The bill will also trigger Paygo. More programs, including medicare will automatically be cut.
Thread. This bill endangers *Medicare*
Wow, he wasn't offered a job at the justice dept?
I see he's graduated from the Karoline Leavitt school of lying.
If undocumented immigrants are being deported, why do they need Concentration Camps? That’s what they are no matter what they call them. History has shown the evil of Hitler. What will history show and report about Trump?
It's not just medicaid, as important as that is. There is also the matter of funding the creation of a police state and concentration camps through ICE and homeland security.
