Trump busy bringing back measles, farm bailouts, ISIS, tax cuts for the rich, out of control military spending, conflicts with allies, millions without health insurance, food stamp cuts, military parades, pardons for drug traffickers, pollution, and foreign wars.

We are failing our kids

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

@root2702.bsky.social Is this where Flynn works?

It’s time to stop saying that we need to understand these people. We do understand them. We understand that they have dug in their heels so deeply, they will not be moved by anything: not facts or data or truth or their own eyes. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-cant-ch...

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

HIRO PROTAGONIST: Enki tried to reimpose order on society by supplanting the old system of ~me~ w/the Code of Hammurabi. But Asherah worship continued in many places, an incredibly tenacious cult & throwback to Sumer that spread verbally & thru body fluids via cult prostitutes. #SnowCrash

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

ATTN: if you’re on the sandwich guy jury, my Signal is in my bio. I’d love to talk after the trial. I’ll keep you anonymous. Please share widely.

Here are the 10 states that will see the highest premium increases for families that lose tax credits if Republicans refuse to act. West Virginia 387% Wyoming 382% Alaska 346% Tennessee 320% Mississippi 314% Texas 289% South Carolina 285% Alabama 284% South Dakota 235% North Dakota 234%

Here’s what we know about the 2024 election: A MASSIVE number of ballots (substantially more than the margin of the election) were undercount DEM ballots in the seven swing states. Meaning the entire ballot was voted Dem, but the top slot for POTUS was counted as blank. Now you can believe

He really said that. F0X news host, Brian Kilmeade

On my commute home I saw that Camping World was flying their HUGE American flag at 1/2 staff. Make of that what you will, and consider whether to give them your business.

I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

Note, Axios liberated a copy of the Epstein book and other docs. I reposted a copy of the book here. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Let's make Tori famous

This is not a Christian nation. This is a nation where we are free to practice religion, or not, on our own terms. Not one faith ranks higher than another. And as our government should keep its paws out of churches, so, too, should churches keep their paws out of government.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act

Keep dropping truth bombs, Gov. Newsom!

There is a metric ton of sh*t that will happen before we get to that election. Grateful he's speaking out, but people should just chill.

Governor Abbott just said he’s got “bullets in his belt” that he’s ready to use against Texas Democrats. As a prosecutor, I’ve had criminals threaten my life. I never thought I’d see the day that the Governor of Texas threatens my life. Governor Abbott, retract your statement.

Can soldiers refuse illegal orders? The answer may surprise you.

Do * not * travel * to * the * US. Not with a green card, a visa, or as a tourist. It's not safe, especially for kids. No privilege will make you safe, they deport professors, scientists, everybody.

@grandmasheila.bsky.social WHY AREN’T DEMS BROADCASTING THIS VIDEO IN TIMES SQUARE, and on rolling video trucks across TEXAS? He is THANKING MUSK FOR HELPING THE HERITAGE GOP HACK THE SWING STATES. Paxton is admitting HE GAVE CITIZEN MUSK ACCESS TO VOTING MACHINES PRIOR TO EARLY VOTING.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

100%!

An important point. If CA wants to redraw, we would need a special election because of our state constitution. We should be organizing that now.
