This is so anti-military and anti-veteran. This is not what the National Guard was intended for.

The Trump family’s historic, obscene corruption continues. The right wing freaked out over Hunter for allegedly making a fraction of this, meanwhile the Trumps are doing this all out in the open and they are silent. 🦗 🦗 www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
I’ve been here since the beginning. It’s fine. It’s not growing and it’s not a Place anyone actively posts on because this site makes it too difficult. I’d be here all the time
Boooo
I’d LOVE to post here more, but again, I say, this site and its limited character count sucks. Get it together, @bsky.app I guess I’ll just start reposting threads here. 🙄 www.threads.com/@wcruz73/pos...
The shooter was posting about shooting up the church for a month and the FBI was too busy doing Trump’s dirty work to flag it. Now I know for sure if that happened under a Democrat that failure is all we’d be talking about right now.

Maybe Red state governors are sending their national guard to DC because they’d be safer there picking up trash than patrolling their own murder capitals.
The words Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in his 1963 #IHaveADream speech at the March on Washington still ring true today: “Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.” We honor this legacy by recommitting to the “fierce urgency of now” in the unrelenting fight for people and democracy.
Around this time eight years ago, after Susan Collins helped derail her party’s ACA-repeal plan, she was greeted with spontaneous applause at her local airport. Now, she’s being greeted in Maine with heckling and booing — ahead of her re-election bid next year. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Fucking INFURIATING! This man worked for US… to help PROTECT US. “DOGE” RUINED his and his FAMILY’S LIFE. They CONTINUE to SUFFER due to the ignorance and IRRESPONSIBILITY of these insufferable people. THIS WAS ALL DONE IN OUR NAMES!
#ResistanceUnited #DemsUnited #DV1 #ProudBlue 🗣Midterm: GA: re-elect @ossoff.bsky.social / @ossoff.senate.gov From public health to bringing jobs to the defence of civil rights, he’s one of the most productive lawmakers you must keep. www.ossoff.senate.gov/about/
Jon Ossoff won his U.S. Senate seat in a runoff election with a 1.2% margin. The GOP is actively targeting his seat, which is considered a toss-up. Let's show them that this seat is solid Blue by throwing our support behind his re-election. Re-Elect Jon Ossoff U.S. Senate, Georgia

In a stunning moment, Elise Stefanik was booed off the stage twice at an event in her district.
Exactly. This. This is all a bullshit performance
The only remaining problems with getting to peace in Ukraine are: the war is going on, the sides are divided on getting a ceasefire, Russia wants land Ukraine won’t give up, Ukraine wants security guarantees Russia won’t accept, the US leader doesn’t understand any of the issues involved…

#EpsteinFiles
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
#Hypocricy #ManufacturedOutrageTheater
Huge news! President Trump declares "science solved!" No need for further funding as the complete spectrum of testable knowledge is now complete! Congratulations, humans! "Art" expected to be complete by September!
This is just Trump stealing another $1 billion. Call it out for what it is. This is why Trump classified the amount it's costing to refurbish the Qatar jet. Would love to see the interview of Jerome Powell asking Trump about the cost to the tax payers to renovate his new Lolita Express.

ITS YOUR FUCKING JOB TO KNOW, FOR FUCK’S SAKE!!!!!!
We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.
Tulsi Gabbard is trying to gaslight you in the name of authoritarianism, points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
$450M to cage migrants in a swamp but not one cent to shelter the unhoused. Even unhoused people without addiction or mental illness are now criminalized, cleared from public streets like rats. It's not policy, it’s punishment. If you’re poor, you’re the enemy.
The audacity
Not with Larry Ellison, Turd’s friend, at the helm, now

Good morning from Washington DC! Right now @rweingarten.bsky.social is joining @hirono.senate.gov, @neatoday.bsky.social Vice President Princess Miss, and more for a hearing on “Robbing our Students’ Futures: The Indefensible Attacks on Public Education.” Follow along in the thread below. ⬇️
To watch this hearing on attacks on public education, watch the livestream of the @hirono.senate.gov hearing here.
Julio González Jr., released last week from the Terrorism Confinement Center, said he was beaten, robbed of thousands of dollars and denied a lawyer. “I practically felt like an animal,” González told The Post.
Thank you
My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad
#JaneEugene has lived here for DECADES, no criminal record and is legally allowed to stay in the US, while reapplying for legal status… and has now been DETAINED for 3 MONTHS. This is CRUEL and UNJUST and INFURIATING
Head of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue branch resigns. He told colleagues that TX delay was tipping point after months of admin efforts to dismantle the agency. DHS Sec Noem took 72 hours after TX flooding to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/p...

I would rather be an empath than a sociopath, any day — every day. Living in an echo chamber of ignorance, versus one of growth and knowledge are not the same. Living a life where compassion, not cruelty, is my compass and I don’t apologize for wanting to protect my sanity, safety and mental health
Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?
Good evening
🥰🥰
🚨 🚨 🚨 BREAKING: DOJ official Patty Hartman, a 17 year veteran, says she was fired on Monday by Pam Bondi for being part of the January 6 investigation. She is warning that the White House is DIRECTING Pam Bondi’s moves and this wave of retribution.
freedom for republicans means the freedom to do whatever republicans want you to do. and if you decide otherwise, they’ll just nullify your choices www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...
Don’t buy the polished crap from the White House. Texas flood deaths weren’t a surprise...they were the price of gutting services. Cut first responders...ignore warnings...and act shocked when people die? That’s not weather. That’s political manslaughter.

😍 Thank you
We live in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”
ICE now has over 70 billion dollars to build more concentration camps. Just in time for Independence Day. God damn you, America.
Gotta love Gavin! ❤️ 👇👇👇
He’s a HERO
Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.
They're building concentration camps with money they stole from medicare.
As someone on SSDI, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP who is chronically ill and disabled, my heart breaks for our country. Medicaid pays for my 38 meds. This is NOT America. The big UGLY Bill that will now be signed into law is cruel, costly, and people will die. I will keep fighting and never give up.🙏💜
What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
64 percent.
Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.
I am no parliamentarian but if you can just hold the vote open indefinitely after the votes are in until you get the outcome you want that feels uhhh not democratic
And that’s in ALASKA, with the carve outs. Damn
AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
The economy got half a percentage point smaller last quarter
You MUST be a Capricorn. I like you. 😂
I now have more followers here than Jake Tapper, who once called me a troll. Who's the troll now, bitch?
tfw you've just stripped healthcare from 17 million Americans and ensured the closure of rural hospitals
It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
¡OYE BORICUA! LEVANTENSEN! #PuertoRico #PedroAlbizuCampos #Independencia
Literal cages — in sweltering, 100 degree temperatures. 🥵 Ron DeSantis should be brought up on criminal charges.

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
Republicans want 1.1 *trillion* dollars in cuts to Americans' health care. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...
Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."
A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government
It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.
Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.
This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
I always try to do my best. Thank you. 🙏🏽

We are now in the infamous "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" swaggering stage of successfully provoking a country in the Middle East to want to kill Americans.
Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill." He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.
Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?
