"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."

IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
@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!
"Here’s the truth we cannot escape: If Ashli Babbitt is honored, then few things are sacred. If loyalty to the Constitution and an attempt to overthrow it are treated as equal, we lose the very meaning of service." www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.
I can’t find the lie in this.
Someone loves puddles....
I dunno, a State funeral would be a bigly enough distraction, don't you think?
These spineless people won’t do damn thing.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
You just know these are the same guys who claimed they couldn't breathe under a mask during the mask mandates, too. 🙄
So sorry for your loss. Fur babies leave pawprints on our hearts.
So Kilmar Abrego Garcia walks free from federal custody. Funny how the system manages to move quickly when it wants to, but grinds to a halt when it’s about justice. The bigger story will be when he turns around and sues the Feds for what they put him through.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball. Red states can't function without your economies. They clearly want to F around. It's find out time.
Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
Eyeopening walkthrough of DC by this creator. If you aren’t in DC, worth a watch all the way to the end—

New ICE data show that the court order banning profiling reduced ICE arrests in LA by 66%! In other words, ICE is effectively admitting that TWO THIRDS of LA arrests were unconstitutional profiling. Did they admit this to the court? NO! They lied to the courts...
I never thought the history books would ever have, "and DC was occupied because of the 'Big Balls' incident" in them, but here we are....
Traffic stops at Howard U seems hardly about the homeless or criminals and much more about race.
Hoagie assault guy, if convicted, will be punished more strongly than J6 folks who beat police officers with poles and other objects and are now walking free (and probably joining CBP)
For those keeping track. Trump put himself in charge of the Kennedy Center, then invited himself to host the awards, then told himself he was President and "do I have time?" but humbly accepted the offer from himself before praising himself for honoring himself like no one else would.
Makes sense
It's never a trans person or drag queen.
Ugh, I really need an edit button or pay attention to my spelling checker...😆 I know how to spell numbers, I promise!
If tRump's poll munbers are as wonderful and as bigly as he says they are, why is he asking for Texas to gerrymander to get 5 more seats? 🤔 #AskingForACountry
In 1949, Superman told schoolchildren “our country is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins. So… “…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”
Undocumented immigrants aren’t showing up to work because they face a double threat: 📌 ICE could roll up to the job site, because it’s easier to target hardworking people than go after real criminals. 📌 When the work’s done, some employers refuse to pay and threaten to call ICE.
This is the wealthiest nation in history. Instead of making sure everyone has food, shelter, & healthcare, WE ARE FLYING A CHILD RAPIST WHO WE PAY TO HIS GOLF COURSE WITH A COTERIE OF BODYGUARDS WHO WE ALSO PAY. And we let him take bribes. #RemoveTrump Call your Reps. 1-202-224-3121
Who would've thought the people who choose to join ICE wouldn't be the best and the most moral people we have? 🙄
"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."
The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.
Following up on our last post, things are getting more crazy by the day. Using federal law enforcement to go after your political opponents isn’t democracy. It’s authoritarianism. Call it what it is fascism.
“Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?” Erm…..🤔
Heinous.
And people say I'm overreacting when I say the US is moving towards fascism.
Imagine getting fired because math hurt a man’s feelings. We’re being governed by a walking Yelp review.
tRump is trying to be a Ferdinand Franco, but he really is a poor man's William J Petomane. (If you know, you know.)
Another day, another reminder...
Erasing history. Another characteristic of autocrats and dictators.
Thank you to all the horses in my life past and present who have given me lessons in patience and resilience, introduced me to lifelong friends, and have been this constant I don't always appreciate as much as I should. Happy birthday to all those ponies out there that make our days memorable.
Bruce is not entertained when I'm watching a show, and I am already 5 minutes late with his dinner.
I am fortunate to live in a country that pays teachers a living wage, and we can claim school purchases on our tax, so we can (hopefully) get some of it back. The fact that teachers are so poorly treated in the US is pathetic. We teach because we love to impart knowledge.
Maxwell was already convicted and imprisoned. Epstein was imprisoned. There is no reason to consider any immunity or pardon unless they are tampering with a witness.
Again, never a drag queen or a trans person....
CALL-A-THON happening now! Join us in flooding Congress with calls to let them know: we won’t “get over it” and to #CancelCutsToMedicaid Call 866-426-2631 now!
Today’s the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act—but the fight for access, dignity, and justice didn’t start in 1990, and it sure as hell didn’t end there. Anyone can become disabled at any time. So saving Medicaid is survival. For all of us. #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies
Congratulations on learning absolutely nothing about making deals with him, Senator.
🤣🤣🤣
Newt Gingrich: Resigned in shame. Dennis Hastert: Child molester. John Boehner: Chased out by Freedom Caucus. Paul Ryan: Quit in disgust. Kevin McCarthy: Forced out by Freedom Caucus. Mike Johnson: Spineless “Christian.” American politics isn’t broken, just the GOP.
RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner
Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...
It was what we called pre-novice back in the day, which is the equivalent to 1* now.
Polls consistently show that the less informed someone is the more likely they are to vote Republican. Trump is cutting NPR and PBS. NPR and PBS are the only source of information for millions of Americans. Do you see how this works?

Thanks! It's from an event at the State Equestrian Centre in Brigadoon, Western Australia, some time in the early 90s.
@tomtomorrow.bsky.social @rubenbolling.bsky.social First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow
WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
If CBS & ABC have bent the knee And the Washington Post, NYTimes, & the LATimes have bent the knee And the Congress & SCOTUS have bent the knee All to a demented child rapist Then it is all the more imperative that we the people never bend We are who we have #RemoveTrump #EpsteinFiles
Millions of Americans receive local news and emergency alerts through public broadcasting. It is a vital resource but Republicans in Congress have slashed its funding, threatening hundreds of stations, especially in rural areas.
ICE is about to get access to Medicaid records—a HIPAA violation. Quick facts: Undocumented immigrants don’t get full Medicaid. They only qualify for emergency care like childbirth or life-threatening treatment. States like CA & NY offer limited coverage, but its’s state-funded, not federal.
Let's all try to remember the wise words of Herman Munster.
The Golden Age of Assholes.
One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case. Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real. If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.

EXCLUSIVE: Fired DOJ prosecutor Maurene Comey sends message to former colleagues, warning that ‘Fear is the tool of the tyrant.’
This is just magnificent. Absolutely perfect. @thedailyshow.com
A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.
Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com
How bad is the Epstein report? Bad enough that Mr. Super Genes 6'4" 230 lbs "he'll live to be 200!" is admitting to a medical condition to gain sympathy and/or distract. Will it work? Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!
Next up: sue this administration! A disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained in last week’s Camarillo raid, despite being a U.S. citizen. • Reporting for his security job at Glass House Farms • Told them he was a citizen • No charges. No phone call. No lawyer. • No care after chemical exposure
Senile old man doesn’t remember he’s the one who appointed Powell.
Share a coke and some files.
The new Bob Dylan, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone in between....
These videos make my day. Thank you.
"Illegal" is an adjective, not a noun.
And people still ask me why I equate the tRump administration to fascists.
Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.
