Yes. This says it like it is.
Thank you. Me too.
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Thank you. We should play and broadcast everywhere that Trump places his ICE Goons, and his private military and police armies. How can these soldiers too easily, so easily, become treasonous traitors against the constitution?
Almost 60 years later, this song is so relevant again. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...
F#k Trump. Evil.
Agreed
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Thank you , thank you. Trump is a monster. And Kamala deserves this protection, especially from MAGA nutters and criminal ICE gangs. Thank you California.
Trump TAX is killing America, and even UK recognise Trump’s (Great) SLUMP. America is NOT being made great again. It is sssslumping
Whilst Texas disgrace Ken Paxton was indicted on fraud crimes for nearly a decade as Texas AG, he was also claiming a few homes as his primary residence which is called mortgage fraud, now he’s trying to get into the US Senate. The fascist Republican crime spree is real.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
Rupert & Lachlan Murdoch dumped decades of 💩 diatribe, evil spin, far right propaganda, while ignoring uprisings and resistance. Burning in a hell- stare forever will be too good for them! Insist Murdoch creeps face Nuremberg-like trials, not just pay billions in fines to help rebuild democracy.
This is the face of modern day PROPAGANDA Rupert Murdoch and his FOX Media have for too long been the source of misinformation and supporting the right-wing factions in America, Australia and Great Britain.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

Agree 💯 with that statement.....
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Everything you say and do does make a difference. To me, anyway. Everything you post, say, do… it all builds momentum for an inevitable positive change in Government.
Rediculous over reach by FBI : arresting a man for train fare evasion. Total abuse of power and wasting resources.

Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
Thank you Mr. President.
I can't stop thinking about this photo. How dare Republicans call themselves “pro-life” when this is what their policies do.
Your daily reminder. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
So happy to hear Lisa Cook is suing the shit out of Trump for illegally firing her. This is how you handle fascism. You stand up and fight back. Can we tack on some hate crime damages too? This is obviously racism and misogyny! She’s the first Black woman economist to sit on the Board!

“We … the useless eaters” (in Oligarch’s and Trump’s fascist eyes) rapidly increase in number as the cost of living escalates, alongside poverty, untreated illness, homelessness, inadequately supported elderly, education debt, mortgage foreclosures, low income, chronically unemployed…
And who treat women and children like shit
It's exhausting to have a government full of posturing aggressive assholes who are not only wildly incompetent but also breathtakingly corrupt, compromised, and laden with a cornucopia of drug addiction, criminal charges, and deteriorating mental capacity
I agree with you. And RFK is another Psychopath in Trump’s leadership.
Oh F#ck! Just look at assault rifle availability for the children’s sake.
Beauty not t only soothes, it fuels resilience, meaning and purpose, commitment and determination.
#ProudBlue #Pinks #RU Good morning! The philosopher Blaise Pascal said, "In difficult times, carry something beautiful in your heart." We each have the capacity to tuck away special memories that can sustain us in dark times. And keep looking for those beautiful things even during the chaotic days.
Look at this. What does it reveal?
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is trying to illegally fire her. Your words shape reality — get it right.
Trump lies constantly.

He has no medical training and his health “suggestion” have little foundation in medic science. If my doctor didn’t openly disdain him I would find a new doctor.
The US *scientific* consensus about vaccines is still unbroken. The US *political* consensus about vaccines was already broken.
Very much agree, save for Vox’s headline. Trump regime told US physician groups to ignore national vaccine consensus. My colleagues said “make me”.
America’s leading physician groups are now openly defying RFK Jr. www.vox.com/health/45922...
Thank you. Thank you
Father David somehow always says so eloquently what we are all thinking! I love his videos and words of wisdom and harsh warnings for Trump supporters! Listen carefully to his words! ⬇️⬇️ #USDemocracy #Pinks youtube.com/shorts/5tvn8...
Living Japan’s resistance to Trump’s sickening shit!
Women’s rights are human rights. #Pinks
Ohh, I love this beautiful fairy, angel, gorgeous Being. Ohh!🥰🙏🌟
For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.
Thank you. So clear. Will repost! Thanks again🥰🙏🌟
I won't pay anything for treatment. No insurance forms to complete. No worries about costs or bankruptcy. Cardiac surgeon called this morning. Less than 24 hours. Consult and booking in two weeks. That's what universal healthcare looks like in Canada. 🇨🇦
Zed-male, rather.
League of Women Voters for the win!
While Judge Dianna Gibson did not weigh heavily on the map’s specific design, she struck it down as unlawful on the grounds that the Legislature had undermined and disregarded the independent redistricting commission created by voters to keep the process fair.
Thank you, Your Honor, and way to go, Utah! The state’s Legislature will now be forced to quickly redraw its congressional districts after a judge ruled Monday that lawmakers had sidestepped voter-approved safeguards designed to prevent partisan gerrymandering.
I don't have stats but it feels like this SCOTUS has used the shadow docket cases more then any other has ever done before. They are demanding lower courts read tea leaves but they are producing ever more tea leaves that require ever deeper reading. Also the Roberts courts is just absurdly lazy.
I agree. I agree. I agree.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Agree!
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
Impeach the creep
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
Outrage
Breaking news: Kilmar Abrego García was detained by ICE on Monday after arriving at the agency’s Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in after his release pending trial on human smuggling charges, his attorney said.
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.
Agree
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.
Outrage!
Outside the Baltimore immigration office, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorney told the crowd that ICE had taken him into custody.
Nobody asked for Ghislaine Maxwell’s scripted statements. We want all the Epstein files.
Union station, DC
🤣🔊🆙 Repost please or quote. Just spread the truth 👍
Maybe send troops to ‘help out ‘ citizens in these Red criminal states?
BREAKING: @marcelias.bsky.social's law firm is seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent Texas' map (which violates the Voting Rights Act) from going into effect once signed into law by Abbott
Kharkiv tonight. People chanting “Putin Khuylo”, which essentially means Putin go f yourself
Thank you New York City for making the #ZcavengerHunt a reality 🙏
This hits right on time… My wife and I had the great privilege of visiting the African-American Museum in DC, and let me just tell you if you have not been…It is a masterpiece—go.
ICE, Alabama State Troopers and Baldwin County Sheriffs break man's arm after trying to force him into the back of a unmarked non-government vehicle in Bon Secour, AL

Brave brave brave woman, such a compassionate activist, cares about her community and country.
Parker is a true warrior with relentless spirit ✊ Parker was shot in the head in June.. she spent weeks in the hospital with a broken skull and a blood clot in her brain. Now out, she's back at the LA Music Festival.
We should remember that we are visitors on this planet. We are here for 90 or 100 years at the most. During this time, we should work to leave the world a better place because all human beings want to be happy, and no one wants to suffer. Our desire for happiness is something we all have in common.
