Wow, so on the ground, no longer a threat and still being beaten!? Land of the free, am I right?
It looks like Andry was likely released!! This is huge news!! May we never forget what the Trump admin has put all of these people through www.immdef.org/blog/andryre...
Heartbreaking and infuriating. And worth remembering when Fox News personalities joke about being Nazis, the systematic destruction and devastation visited upon Eva, her family, and millions of others was carried out by Nazis. Itās not funny and it shouldnāt be platformed
I mean, he had some awfully nice things to say about Epstein, so that is pretty plausible
If you have friends or family who are like, āI donāt really understand this white supremacy thing,ā show them this unhinged pic posted by our fricken government. It should replace the definition of āwhite supremacyā in the dictionary
It is unconscionable that Andry and others are still in an El Salvador gulag. We cannot forget about Andry and the others.
Andry JosĆ© HernĆ”ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 120 days. As vigil, Iām posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
Who needs ethics, am I right?
That tracks with this admin
Rig count has fallen for 11 consecutive weeks. ā½ļø
We have three branches of government: the executive, the yes men, and the people who never say no

Just the worst of the worst. The criminals, the drug dealers, the rapists, those taking advantage of the system, and not doing it āthe right way,ā right? Do I have the propaganda, right? www.wlwt.com/article/ayma...

Trump cuts to National Cancer Institute are so drastic that its Physician Data Query, which compiles info doctors turn to when caring for cancer patients, is not being updated.This is dangerous - tell our reps to restore funding Fitzpatrick 202-225-4276 McCormick 202 224-6324 Fetterman 202-224-4254
This is a great idea
WELKER: āNYT is reporting thousands of calls from flood victims to FEMA went unanswered because you didn't renew contracts to keep call centers staffed.ā NOEM: āFake news.ā Again: ā1984ā is upon us.
This is absolutely horrible. We have to make these stories known to anyone who will listen
Holy shit -- Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade *deficit* with the US

oh this is interesting. i pretty firmly believe, just as a matter of observation and experience, that complaints about affirmative action are a psychological salve for people who arenāt confident of their ability to succeed
"Questioning is the way of learning," Encourage your children to ask questions, not to accept existing answers.
1. Release the Epstein files! 2. The Epstein files are sitting on my desk and I will release them very soon 3. There are no Epstein files and the case is closed 4. There are Epstein files but they are forgeries created by Obama and Hillary so if you like me you will never talk about them again
As Scooby Doo taught millions of TV watchers: if the deceased villain's best friend tells you there's nothing worth seeing inside the locked closet ... there's probably something worth seeing inside the locked closet.
A Texas official said āthere wasnāt a lot of timeā to alert camps of the flood risk. But AccuWeatherās chief meteorologist said warnings gave āplenty of time to evacuate people to higher ground.ā āThe question is, Why did that not happen?ā he said. By @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social
The incompetence of this administration is stunning. Two days after the floods in Texas, FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of incoming calls. Contractors were laid off on July 5th, and Kristi Noem didnāt renew their contracts until five days later. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

Fascinating how MAGA is making Bondi the fall gal for the Epstein files debacle, as if she isnāt operating at the express instruction of the man sheās protecting.
This is so good #superman #filmsky #woke
ICE isn't bound by the 4th amendment? Homan needs to be sued into oblivion. Make sure people know that this is the official stance. RP
100% Trump and his admin has zero clue about this context. Just another consequence of having complete morons running our government
āHeās revamping the rose garden. One half will be a bowling alley where smoking is encouraged, the other half a flea market, where bootleg movies will be for sale. Speaking of, you shouldnāt pay to see the new woke Superman when you get your own bootleg copy from Trumpās Bazaar.ā
The State of GA is cancelling almost 500,000 voter registrations in the next 40 days. Check your registration. Remind your friends to check their registration!
Shoot! Before he resigns from an actual job and goes back to spreading lies on a podcast, ask him why the FBI closed its case into Prince Andrew. I would think he has some insight into that
Iām just a chaplain but Iām pretty sure racial profiling is a no-no in law enforcement. Pretty amazing that wannabe mafioso Homan just admitted itās literally policy
The guy who constantly bloviates about everything is tongue tied when it comes to Epstein. āWeāre still talking about that creep?ā Meanwhile heās still talking about Obama likes itās 2008 Methinks tomfoolery is afoot
So racial profiling is the policy then. Heās admitting itās just blatant racism. Iāll never understand how so many in America are on board with this
Facts matter.
The U.S. is the only wealthy country in the world that doesnāt have a universal health care system. As a result, the U.S. spends the most on health care as a proportion of GDP, while having the worst health outcomes among those wealthy countries.
Of course it was
Following the civil rights movement, how did racist, shit heads get expelled to the dark, dank recesses of the society? That canāt happen soon enough to this clown and everyone aligned with him
She understands her role is not just to write for history but to sound the alarm, to rouse the public. āI am actually heartened that people are focused on the court and the work that weāre doing on the state of the government,ā she said. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
If Trump is firing you today & you want to fight back, consider running for office. Weāll help you get started. runforwhat.net
The level of dehumanization and cruelty is despicable. Any support for this is a wonderful indicator of someoneās moral compass (or lack thereof). Itās so disgusting and heartbreaking that fellow Americans would gleefully support www.rawstory.com/alligator-al...
I hope these whistleblowers know how important they are. Those with the courage to speak out and provide receipts will make a huge difference over the next 3.5 years
Nailed it!
Well that is terrifying
Oligarchy say what? Itās like theyāre literally proving everyoneās point
You know we're in the upside-down when stating the obvious is news

Itās a great day to consider running for office. runforwhat.net
TIL that people still have expectations of this administration
New: Trump lowers expectations for reaching Gaza ceasefire deal this week open.substack.com/pub/diplomat...
Quick question, who in the hell still has expectations of this administration that could go any lower? My expectations for this admin rest on the Mariana Trench, and they still canāt meet them
When the fury fades, I just feel sad. Our reputation is destroyed and canāt be easily rebuilt. Weāve alienated allies that have been reliable partners and have realigned with authoritarians. Ughā¦ just the antithesis of anything I would have ever hoped for my nation
Oh boy. Something tells me we will no longer be cracking down on China buying up our farmland (after 24 hours of it being an issue) šš
"It is not an accident that at the same moment that Trump is turning ICE into our national secret police, heās also creating new classes of 'illegals.' You do not have to squint to see 1930s Germany."
The US has gone so far astray that I donāt know how we ever recover from this type of unhinged depravity. The darkest impulses of our country have been given not just a voice but a platform. Thereās no way to put this stuff back in the bag like it never happened
Umm, never. You would have to have some sense of shame or self-awareness to realize you should resign. Neither exists with these people
Retirement has a way of making Republicans speak the truth. Funny how that works
Popes take vacations?? For some reason that is surprising to me. Or maybe it just sounds like the set-up to a joke

Perhaps heād be willing to give Trump a crash course on the English language
Lyinā Ted, both lyin down on the job and lyin every time he opens his mouth. Next to JD Vance, has to be one of the most unlikable people in the world
At the DeSantis Everglades detention camp, people with green cards are being held in terrible conditions, with maggots in the food, the lights kept on 24 hours a day, and delayed access to medicine. One guy had his Bible taken and was told "here there is no right to religion."
He. Is. So. Unbelievably. Stupid.

I feel this so much
The dehumanization is gut wrenching. Our government is treating human beings worse than animals. And a portion of the country is cheering it on. We share literally no common values or vision for this country. How do we recover from this? Seems like a bridge too far
I donāt think Trump is doing much except rambling incoherently and playing golf. My theory is JD Vance is in charge of foreign policy, and Stephen Miller is in charge of some domestic policy.
Our last secretary of defense didnāt inform the White House that he was going to the doctor and republicans had hearings about it. www.cnn.com/2025/07/08/p...
itās insane that real antisemitism like this is intensely normalized and endorsed by the most powerful people in the world but you canāt say free palestine without people trying to ruin your life
Looking for inspiration? We're announcing 50 (!!) new endorsements for 2025 races -- 74% running for municipal office, 16% for state leg, running across 15 states. These are community-focused leaders running strong grassroots campaigns. Hell yeah. runforsomething.medium.com/50-reasons-n...
Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA isnāt something the Administration should brag about, itās a disaster for veterans who deserve timely care and support. Every job lost means a longer wait time, a slower claim, a missed opportunity to care for someone who served our country.
In Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro is warning that as many as 25 rural hospitals could go under thanks to the GOP tax law and more than 310,000 Pennsylvanians lose Medicaid coverage. "They knew what they were voting for. They voted for it." penncapital-star.com/briefs/gov-s...
Hi God, itās me again. If there was ever a time to reinstitute smiting people, I feel like now is that time and I submit this crew for your consideration.
So this is the emergency docket, so they donāt have to explain how they came to this decision, correct? So, they can fully legislate from the bench without any justification. What a great set up for an authoritarian
For no particular reason I was listening to Rage Against the Machineās āEvil Empireā And in the song āVietnowā thereās this line: ā Fear is your only God ā And all I could think was how that line defines the entire belief structure of white, Christian nationalists / MAGA
Itās almost like they arenāt motivated by any underlying values or ethical principles.
Holy majoly. This should have huge implications for the CECOT class, including Andry!
lol notice how eugenicists love to bring up the SAT scores of people of color while never revealing how they did on the test themselves? Interesting.
How am I still amazed at the absolute clownery of this administration? Its like you think it canāt get any dumber then a new day dawns and here we are
Canāt wait until someone tells the NYT about the SAT scores of legacy admissions.
Bro has a sixth sense for natural disasters. If the Trump admin wonāt reinstate full funding to NWS & NOAA, Tedās travel could be a second rate replacement. When you see him head out for yet another undeserved vacation, itās time to GTFO of Texas
What happened today is that a group of armed soldiers and federal officials walked across a park where a bunch of kids were playing until Bass asked them to leave. Now listen to the DHS official ranting about how Bass is protecting "MS-13, child rapists, drug traffickers." Is is insane.
The only newsworthy items from the NYT hit on Mamdani are: 1. NYT reporters are apparently chummy with white nationalists who spout eugenics 2. NYT editors apparently believe their peers are trolls like Chris Rufo 3. NYT "standards" for using hacked materials are not actually followed
Is one of the letters going to be written in penguin? How does this genius expect the inhabitants of Heard Island to make a deal if heās not speaking their language?
We all just witnessed a war criminal present a nomination to a lifelong conman who has forged no peace for a Nobel Peace Prize. Stupidity at this level can only exist if we are living in a simulation, and frankly I donāt know how it can top itself but I feel like weāre going to find out
