I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free. gofund.me/e44538b52

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Father David has something to say to John Roberts. #USDemocracy

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about. What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars. We're paying for the torture of children. I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

It’s being reported that as many as 10 Democrats may back multiple short-term funding extensions into January 2026. That would mean the last 40+ days were wasted and would hand the GOP a serious narrative win. What are we doing?

Noting “no country should be above int’l law,” Mayor Brandon Johnson urged the UN Human Rights Council to hold Donald & his Gov accountable for a “worsening human rights crisis” in the US Johnson asked UN experts to come to Chicago to witness 1st hand abuses committed by ICE agents, wreaking havoc

This is a big deal!! 💪🇺🇸💙 Mayor Brandon Johnson 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you have a costco membership, PediaSure and diapers are on sale right now. Might be a good thing to grab and hand to your nearest food bank/etc if you want something quick & easy. 💓

The US Army was telling active duty soldiers to get food from food banks in Germany. They removed it. WE aren't socialist, but certainly willing to mooch off other nations socialist programs. PATHETIC. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Ohio #Military #Veteran #UnitedStates #FoodSecurityForAll #Shutdown2025

⬇️ DAILY REMINDER ⬇️ I post this every day so we never forget January 6, 2021. We saw the traitors in action. Never forget that Trump was their leader. Never forget that Trump could’ve stopped it but he didn’t. The world watched. History remembers. NEVER FORGET. #Pinks 🌸 🎥 @mjfree.bsky.social

The Internet is forever. #USDemocracy

This is so discouraging. I had forgotten about this inscription.

If you live in a state with a large rural population, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider investigating which areas in your region are food deserts & consider possibly giving to food banks that serve them. Rural food deserts are going to be the regions worst hit by the SNAP cutoff. Absolutely devastating.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️ Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you. Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No. 1/2

I found this looking for what is good for donations. Take a look. Please consider donating to your local pantry. We need to stick together and support each other. Please share. organized31.com/donate-food-...

Jeffries: "What's hateful is what happened on January 6. That was a Hate America Rally sponsored by Donald Trump and his sycophants who incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol. That is what hate looks like. What you will see this weekend is what patriotism looks like."

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered. Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Now do Native Americans We are still here We are the original sin We were slaved 1st We were sold & "deported" 1st We were kicked out of our land 1st We were victims of genocide first We are still victims of cultural genocide - every time, you say we are irrelevant -"they are all dead already"

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

Too funny

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press. Doomers will be blocked. TY for your attention to this matter.

Why does it not surprise me that he even signs DMs ‘President DJT’. (This was I obviously supposed to be a DM or text or whatever) My 83 year old mother signs all her texts ‘mom’ and I always tell her… you know what, nevermind, WHAT TF ARE WE EVEN DOING YOU GUYS THIS IS INSANITY

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

“Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear… This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones… Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect.” Sophie and Colin Hortman

Link? I'd love to read this in full. Also, just posted this; maybe we are all looking in the wrong places to find the root of the current crop of mass shooters: bsky.app/profile/jaro...

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

To be a political reporter in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime. Or you just have to be willing to pretend you’re that gullible. Either way, we deserve better.
