Scandal was pure Hollywood, yes, but two of the tropes that ring true are: when you rig an election the truth eventually comes out or devours everyone; and the WH Chief of Staff has a lot of power- exactly the position Stephen Miller should not have. šæšæšæ
Got to say he went in an interesting direction even for himā¦
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And itās all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax ā it's cruel.
I can't get past Peter Thiel naming his company Palantir aka the magical objects in LOTR used by an evil control obsessed entity for weird authoritarian surveillance state reasons It's like an 80s movie villain who runs a company called SwastikaCorp, like its TOO on the nose
Fatality.
Stephen Milker molting š¤£š¤£š¤£ but for realz do they always but THE PRESIDENT in all caps becauseā¦.thatās cringe
I briefly dated a cop a few years ago(donāt ask) and the recruitment was so bad he had new officers whoās gun safety and training was so bad he had them hold flashlights instead of guns in drills for fear of friendly fire/ accidents. And that was apparently before standards were dropped.š« š« š«
Is it bad that I also find him hot AF?
Itās time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.
Love the meme but wouldnāt it be awesome if the ghost of Robin Williams started haunting the WH? We already know Jackie Oās ghost is there and not pleased.
Thank you
My friend and I were talking tonight about how different the world might be now if you would have been elected. š
Iām so tired and honestly angry that he is abusing the honor and training of our military with his antic domestic and abroad
Wake up America. Itās going to be FAFO time come flu season #CDC #RFK
@governor.ca.gov and his team doing the lordās work @gtconway.bsky.social š„š„š„
Itās time for the boomers of both parties to step aside
And yet the majority of US Americans still think we are the sun the world revolves around
KOH: āTrump Stripped 1 million workersā bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Deptā¦ Closed miner health clinicsā¦ Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programsā¦ This is the real story of Trump & Labor.ā #LaborDay
Thank you
I saw a post on Threads where a woman was saying how the majority of people over 40 still rely on traditional media and have āno clueā whatās happening. Itās 2025- you canāt just chew and swallow. Trump is not well. JD is a twat. Release the #EpsteinFiles
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetās 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.
The real question is will the Dems do what needs to be done to save our country? I donāt believe Jeffries and Schumer have what it takes but there are some lawmakers who do. Time for new leadership.
Wake up America. This must stop now- people are being traumatized and brutalized and communities are being damaged- they wonāt stop with immigrants. Wake up! #ICE
Ok this is kinda funny
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
I went to bootcamp in Great Lakes- his actions defile all our institutions.
This is racist profiling and it must stop- car wash workers arenāt the danger. Masked goons snatching people are.
Itās bad enough kids have to do school shooter drills but now we have #ICE agents in schools??? So much damage is being done to our nationās kids before they even graduate- and it could all be prevented.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage ā and solidarity. Be prepared.
Old Video Of Eminem Pointing Out 1 Weird Thing About MAGA Goes Viral: 'How In The F**k?' - Huffpost āhis baseā¦ thinks that he cares about them and itās actually the people that he cares about the fucking leastā¦.howā¦do you feel like you relate to a billionaire who has never known struggle?ā
I am so tired of rural politicians having as much say and power as highly populated areas contributing more taxes. Time for the electoral college to go. Unless you travel and know the places you are talking about sit down and shut up.
The perverse joy they get in the cruelty
And their social media teams
Your weekly reminder that Miller is a cross between Gollum and a thumb.
We talk about the trials and other methods of accountability for ICE and the regime leaders if and when this is all over- the social media team for DHS, the WH, etc are included
Iām pretty sure Trump is Millerās lackey at this point. Otherwise I šÆ agree with Pritzer.
šæšæšæ
At some point they started caring more about profits than truth
Walz has joined the party. US governors and comedians are doing the heavy lifting while GOP politicians - lame Dems like Jeffries- and legacy media roll over. Wake up America- we are inches away from complete fascism. And life will suck- just wait.
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
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
This is cruel persecution.
Well if even Bill is saying itā¦.
Can we discuss Hegsethās flag pocket squareā¦.
youtu.be/5Y-LofzaMRE?... John Stewart calls Mitch McConnell the Kentucky Fried Reaperš¤£ while calling out how Trump has cheated or been bailed out over and over @thedailyshow.com
abc7.com/post/tv-show... When the cops finally detain her stalker, who is very dangerous, he is treated with dignity, not manhandled, given mental exams and a trial. Way more than anyone ICE detains. A man who terrorized a victim for 13 years is treated better than an innocent food vendor.
UGANDA - there needs to be more outrage about shipping people to third countries. Wtf
Comedians like Stewart still doing the heavy lifting @thedailyshow.com
Release the Epstein Files -yes- but why canāt we just believe survivors- the tale is as old as time that powerful men get away their crimes. Maxwell is evil too and I believe women who are complicit in the harm of women and girls deserve all they get.
I have a question for the Dump administration about the Bolton house raid happening now. Aren't we still waiting for EPSTEIN files to be released and weren't we told some would be released today?
So many politicians have been in housing thatās paid for or homes with no mortgage for so long they donāt know what the rest of us go through. My own homeowner friends donāt have empathy for renters like me- itās a āwell you should have boughtā¦then youād wouldnāt have high rentā¦ā
It wonāt stop with immigrants. Wake up America. And FFS find some empathy because at some point we will be begging the international community for it. @georgetakei.bsky.social
open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... @hcrichardson.bsky.social latest āLast March, scholar of authoritarianism Timothy Snyder wrote that those who fantasize about a strongman make the terrible mistake of thinking āthat a strongman will be your strongman. He won't,ā Trump is consolidating power quickly.
He shouldnāt be allowed to talk about women or girls period.
IF there are elections again and Dems are in power we canāt do a post Civil War or post Jan 6 response- have we finally learned????
@crockett.house.gov š„š„š„
The danger is not so much that machines may become like humans, but that humans may forget what it means to be humane.
NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.
He looks different- like worse- if that were possible. I think he has less than a month.
What losers. #AbolishICE
@governor.ca.gov doesnāt sleep
Only her mouth moves
Does anyone else want to pound their head on the wall when she speaks, blinks, anything?
Profit Over Patients: Private equity turns prison healthcare into a death sentence. A 57-year-old woman in a Santa Barbara jail begged for help, screaming that her guts were twisted. Instead of sending her to the ER, Wellpath medical staff dismissed her as just another opioid withdrawal case. š§µ
1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this? 2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS
We cannot become desensitized to the violence. This cannot be the new normal- it will only get worse. Ask Russia.
Have you looked at people shopping in grocery stores? Itās depressing- you can feel it. Itās palpable.
Claiming something is about ānational security" is not a blanket excuse to violate our civil liberties. The Trump administration is not above the law ā and we wonāt stop fighting to hold it accountable.
Just a thought: what if we simply believed survivorsā¦.
ššš
The genocide must stop.
Showing the endangered leader of an invaded country my hats
So glad @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social has returned @acyn.bsky.social
VON DER LEYEN: āThousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children must be returned to their families.ā TRUMP: *completely ignores her, congratulates himself on slapping tariffs on EU goods (raising prices on Americans)*
For reference, for decades all presidents red or blue have had plants on the mantle. The WH is the peopleās house and we have no kings in America.
WATCH: John Oliver clowns @reptimburchett š¤” for claiming he sleeps in his office out of fear when he told @notusreports itās to be more productive. Again: weāre told he slept in his office as a state legislator in NASHVILLE also. Timās lying. (Again) (H/T @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )
Thank you
āHallmarks of authoritarianismā: Trump banks on loyalists as he wages war on truth
Basic math says they arenāt stopping with immigrants. Wake up America. #ICE
Russian attacks on the Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia killed 10 people and injured dozens on Monday, hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine arrived in Washington, D.C., to discuss a possible path to peace with Moscow. nyti.ms/3JCbitG
I just canāt. They shame one of our most sacred places- I have always felt like the Lincoln Memorial was like a temple. This must stop.
The Guard needs to stand down.
Stand down. šŗšø
The Guard needs to stand down and stand with the American people
This is beyond terrifying
The beauty of our democracy is it's integrity. Americans must step up to defend against rigged elections.
šÆ thank you Senator- now mobilize your colleagues to actually help the American people.
Many more must join him. We canāt focus on our petty disagreements- we need to backup those who are stepping up to lead.
A shameful way to treat a Marine. Thatās what happens when you give a bunch of incel cosplayers badges and guns.
And this is what Fox is reporting soā¦ā¦š« š« š«
Thatās my Capitol!!! We donāt take fascism lying down. #DC
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... I canāt find the interview with the rep for Nebraska farmers
I really canāt wait for Homan to be in an orange jumpsuit.
Do not turn away.
