Is this the *emergency* you had in mind when you took these National Guard troops from their families @GovBillLee?
I love animals, nature, democracy and snarkiness. I am aware of the irony for Solitude to be on social media.😉 VOTE in EVERY election! NORMALLY not an angry person but these are NOT normal times. Cussing helps. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Animals, nature and music can make me smile and warm my heart on almost any day. 💕
🇺🇸 “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that." -N.Y. Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler 🇺🇸 Thank you for everything Jerry Nadler. You served you country honorably.
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Over Labor Day weekend, the Trump administration attempted to remove Guatemalan children who had come to the U.S. alone and were living in shelters or with foster care families in the U.S. https://to.pbs.org/4gcaHeI
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
I love this guy
Folks...sorry to create so much discord and confusion. 'Tis is pure, unbridled satire. I lifted the text from the preface of Kant's 1781 book, Critique of Pure Reason, and created the fake Truth Social post in Photoshop. Will leave no stone unturned in my quest to humor myself. 😅🫣 😇
👀 Uhh, this strikes me as an awfully large crowd for a Democratic Senate candidate in Maine over a year prior to an election for which they have not even won the primary yet.
US-India relations weaken because Modi won’t nominate Trump for a peace prize. Cool. How about releasing the Epstein files, his medical records, and financial documents instead?
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
Unlike the insecure, psychologically damaged loathsome piece of shit currently polluting the White House, President Biden was a REAL president for ALL AMERICANS — and not just the ones who liked him. 😳👇
This Labor Day, never forget: the sitting President said we have "too many non-working holidays." Happy Labor Day, workers.✊
This is terrifying.
Daily reminder 🚨 CA — VOTE YES ON PROP 50‼️ 🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️ Special Election November 4, 2025
Thank you for the reminder, Anne, and the dark, reflective lines by H. W. Auden on the day of Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Sadly, we have dark days ahead of us as well. I just hope they won’t be as costly to humanity as 1939 to 1945. Stand up and speak up, America!
The low-IQ party………..
poor Donald Trump
Pretty amazing point in history: we have an administration in place that we distrust so thoroughly that we assume we might not be told if the head of state were to die.
Definitely brings joy! Yay Sebastian. Thank you. 💕✊💙
Our joyful defiance undermines them because it exposes just how weak they are. They could be doing literally anything else with our tax dollars…
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.
232 followers achieved for @christaylorwi.bsky.social! That’s 200 new followers for the liberal candidate in next April’s crucial Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Thanks everyone for giving her a follow. Feel free to keep it going!
Heritage? 😅🙄 The first Cracker Barrel opened in 1969!
Or maybe rainbow? I'll take either.
This is soooooo much worse than Biden ever was. By MILES. Where is the media on this??
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Get ready #chicago Save and share this image. It will be helpful when the #iceraids begin

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES #LaborDay DAY 31 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES Labor Day Weekend Throwback to President Joseph Biden, September 2023. The ONLY President while in office to stand in a picket line Truly cared for the AMERICAN WORKER Trump hates labor #UnionStrong THANK YOU JOE
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
For the umpteenth thousandth time, how would the press have reacted, and what would they be demanding if Biden had been clearly physically ill and refusing to appear or talk to them?
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Wait! I thought Trump was supposed to be “ending homelessness.” HUD just announced a nationwide audit of Section 8 “citizen status.” Mixed-status families could lose rental assistance, even when kids are U.S. citizens. Families including children could be thrown into eviction & face homelessness.
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
maybe he’d feel better about it if they spent the day golfing
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

How beautiful!💕📌🎶
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.
You may already be aware of this. If so...it's good reinforcement: The President of Portugal branded Trump a RUSSIAN ASSET. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t even matter; what matters is this: world leaders see Trump as weak...compromised...and beneath respect.
Trump was not "played" by Putin. Trump is OWNED by Putin.
Your poor wife. Glad it is okay. Very cool looking. I have African dwarf frogs that have quite the personalities!💕
Big props to whoever came up with the idea of calling Trump “Metamucilini”

Turns out when you treat teachers well, invest in students, and focus on improving schools, you get real results. Illinois now ranks third in the nation for our education system for a reason.
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 29 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES TONIGHT I Honor my HOMETOWN, CHICAGO Trump insults our city But WITH A HEART OF GOLD We don't need the National Guard WE ARE THE HOME OF SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE WE ARE DIVERSITY, EQUITY INCLUSION WE ARE WOKE Ask the Pope
Just what I needed to hear! Thanks.💕✊💙
I know the temptation to give in to despair—fight that feeling with all of your might. You are not alone. We will fight. We will win.
📌Something called "good news" -Conservative Wisconsin SC Justice Rebecca Bradley won't seek reelection, citing "conservative failures" -Iowa Sen. (R) Joni Ernst surrenders -Democrat Catelin Drey smashes Republican supermajority in Iowa, winning big in Trump district Keep hittin' back. He did.
WATCH: “Its not exactly an Agatha Christie mystery.” @marcelias.bsky.social & @raskin.house.gov say Trump’s seat-stealing, mail-in voting ban, and inevitable invasion of Blue cities to intimidate voters are all to steal the 2026 election. Full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDLI...
Missouri Republicans are set to redraw their maps to take away a Dem seat. Missouri voters, call your legislators and let them know how feel. To Dem Govs in Maryland, Oregon, Illinois and other blue states with red seats, get out your pencils and erasers. missouriindependent.com/2025/08/29/m...
Absolutely crazy political news day considering it’s the Friday before Labor Day. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/08/...
It just keeps getting better.
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
TEXAS: “Would I be required to carry my birth certificate to the restroom because I have short hair? Is there anything in it to protect people like me?” REP. ORR: “No. It protects biological females.” @jessicafortexas.bsky.social : “That’s what I am.” More: www.fox7austin.com/news/texas-h...
it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
📌Consider that liberals have not had control of the court in recent memory, and will now control it at least through 2028. Just an amazing turnaround.
📌BREAKING: Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley will NOT seek reelection in April, citing "conservative failures" after liberals have won four of past five SC court races in the state. 📌With a victory in this open seat, liberals will hold a stunning 5-2 advantage.

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
😭I want him fired!
First, Donald Trump was found to have committed far more crimes by juries and grand juries than Lisa Cook has been by your mere insinuation. Second, when it comes to who is better suited to make monetary decisions, Lisa Cook didn't have to file for bankruptcy multiple times, unlike POTUS.
If you're on Medicare, Trump's gonna let AI decide if you get care or not.
Current, continuous mood:
The latest work-of-art at Mar-a-Lago…
When Republicans cut Medicaid, they cut funding to hospitals. When they cut hospital funding, they cut critical hospital staff. When they cut hospital staff, it puts lives at risk. Just another consequence of the GOP's Big Ugly Bill.
Did I mention ICE arresting firefighters who were LITERALLY fighting a massive fire at the time of their arrest? 🔥 #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Just months short of the nation’s 250th birthday, Trump is close to batting a thousand at speed-running the very abuses of power that led the Founders to write the Declaration of Independence in the first place.
UPDATED GOVERNORS LIST… These Democratic Blue State Governors aren’t afraid of the Trump Regime. They’re standing up for all of us! Gov Gavin Newsom CA Gov JB Pritzker IL Gov Kathy Hochul NY Gov Wes Moore MD Gov Bob Ferguson WA Gov Josh Shapiro PA Gov Tim Walz MN Gov Maura Healey MA
This is EXCELLENT ty @augursociety.bsky.social
Ha ha,nascent authoritarianism, haha,ha ha,rampant tariff driven inflation, ha ha, so funny shipping immigrants to hellhole prisons abroad, hysterical to see our environmental standards wrecked, our higher education system assaulted, so funny! Oh and don't even get me started on public health...
⚠️ MUST WATCH: Ohio voters confront GOP Rep. Davidson defends Trump’s bill that could cut Medicaid for 500,000 — and the crowd walks out.
Me too…
The worm that ate RFK Jr’s brain would be a better President than Donald Trump.
Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner has the kind of ball-crushing, "Bring it, MF'rs!" attitude that makes me slobber like a Bassett Hound. An attitude that says, "Come to my city...and f*ck with my people? Yeah. I'm going to bring down legal HELL on you fascist sons a bitches." I like it.🔥
Apparently it's a whole lot safer to go to school in Afghanistan than it is in the United States.
This whole J6ers pardoning and Ashli Babbitt honoring thing is disgusting and clearly politically motivated. Shame on you, Republicans in charge.
📌
A cult of personality. What could go wrong?
Trump’s "state capitalism" has nothing whatever to do with public ownership, socialism, helping the working class, or improving national security. There is no real industrial policy. It’s all about centralizing ever more control over America in the Oval Office.
When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.
Right now, in 2025, we all have an opportunity to honor their legacy by defending our democracy like our lives depend on it. Because they do. (2/2)
62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others. If you’ve ever wondered what you’d be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)
