Raising the Flag Follow my work and writing on Substack: nickanderson.substack.com

trump said fixing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool would cost $1.8 million. It is now up to $13.1 million. Turns out a washed-up grifter who bankrupted a casino also sucks at math.

A new study has found that the Trump administration's decision last year to dissolve the U.S. Agency for International Development — once a leading global aid donor — was followed by a significant increase in violence in several African countries the agency had supported.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

This is Jam. He said he was the highest jumping golden retriever in Ontario. May or may not have lied on his resume. Still 13/10 (IG: skythepupvlogger)

This is why they really hate him — because he’s showing government can actually do good stuff for regular people

When Colbert is gone, I'll have no reason to watch anything on CBS.

🔥 @chelseahandler.bsky.social : “Now that your favorite leader is making the draft mandatory, I assume all of you will be signing up to go fight in Iran… Or do you tough-talking pussies only go to the Middle East for comedy festivals?”

Late last Friday, the Hawaii State Legislature approved a historic measure that would effectively undo the corrosive effects of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.

ICE Kidnapping Springfield, MA 5/8/26

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.

Last time this shit happened....

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

A nasal spray with nanotech that crosses the blood-brain barrier after stroke that can be used at home or on the way to the ER to minimize damage. Wow. China seems to have a lot of nice things. You'd think we could, too.

Thought other politicians just hated Mamdami's guts so much because of racism, but he seems to be setting the kind of standards they Really don't want to meet so maybe he scares the shit out of them because he's showing everyone how easy it would be to actually do their damn jobs
