“We the People” means all of us. Republicans can have January 6th — the 4th belongs to everyone else. Happy Independence Day🇺🇸

The last sketch in Episode 2 of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Unhappiness” is a must-see. Skewers Trump. Thank you, executive producer @barackobama.bsky.social variety.com/2026/tv/news...

#TailgateTogether is a Mutual Aid Group with a primary focus of feeding and clothing the houseless community in New Orleans on a bi-weekly basis. We also assist with Hurricane relief and feeding underprivileged schoolchildren. All of our work has been vetted, verified, and documented.

Yup. The childless, post-menopausal Susan Collins was the deciding vote to ensure that Americans women didn’t have the choices and bodily autonomy she had as a woman of reproductive age.

Has Trump turned all federal law enforcement officers into Gestapo goons? Seems that way. Are these people new hires (hence likely unqualified) or are they longtime employees who’ve been laying in wait to be foot soldiers for a fascist?

Interesting @pewresearch.org report about our political colors. Quiz says I’m “Loyal Liberal.” A better label for it would be “Traditional Liberal.” Loyal sounds sycophantic. Too many in my personal orbit are the chartreuse “Tuned-Out Middle. What are others here? www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Also listen to this excellent @staceyabrams.com podcast episode about the White Nationalism movement. (Christian shouldn’t be part of its name.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

June 14: Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day! Thank you President Obama! Thank you @petesouza.bsky.social !

Omg!

Congressional people should only be paid the minimum wage of their state !! Then we'll see how fast that will get raised !!!

Exactly! #Pinks #USDemocracy

“We’ll go dancing down the street Kissing ev’ryone we meet When that man is dead and gone” Every time I wake up to the news that today isn’t that day, this old classic comes to mind. It’s a great day to #RESIST!✊🏻💙 #ProudBlue #RESIST youtu.be/XDkhzVw0yBs?...

Meet the behind the scenes folks who make big $ in DC influencing the laws that impact us all. The smarmy outnumber the good ones. The magazine tried to humanize them w/ questions about their first jobs, what they always keep in their purse/briefcase, etc. Blech. washingtonian.com/2026/05/05/w...

No notes…

I know it’s wrong to be mean toward people who are suffering from a terrible illness. But, hey, Trump and the GOP have broken all ethical and moral norms. So … I hope Pam Bondi is afraid for her life, physically suffers, but ultimately survives so she can be prosecuted for her criminality.

The U.S. Government is running Nazi-style concentration camps. We need another nation to invade us, rescue the immigrants being tortured, protect the non-MAGA citizens from our own government — and then prosecute the Trump regime Nuremberg-style.

🚨🚨🚨🚨Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips reads horrific account of a young woman after giving birth from the Epstein files Trump Epstein reading room. WHAT DID GHISLAINE MAXWELL DO WITH THE BABY? “Close your eyes”

How did the men who now work for ICE and the immigration prisons function before Trump? Did they have jobs? Were they in jail for assaults? Do they kill puppies and kittens for fun? I feel naive for not knowing that so many of our fellow Americans are savage monsters.

This story really stays with you. “It all feels quite like the Handmaid’s tale,” she wrote on Sept. 24. “I had to seek refuge, travel by ambulance across borders.” She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help.

NEW: She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help. Emily Waldorf’s case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.

MAGA morons will be descending on the city for Trump’s birthday weekend June 14. In normal times, DC is a great, vibrant city. It’s sad that its hotel, restaurant, parking staff and store clerks (many of whom are immigrants) will have to serve and subject themselves to people who hate them.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

I will not be told to care about Trump's shootings by people that ignored hundreds of school shootings.

How is being a flabby-faced, fat-assed, physically unattractive white man (e.g. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves and essentially all GOP men) who is threatened by the existence and desired equality of women and non-white people is proof that your kind is “supreme”? It is actually proof that you’re not.

Let’s not forget conservatives don’t believe in reparations for slavery but they do for white sesitionist rioters against their own country/democracy… The end of true patriotism.

I’m hoping Harry Dunn @libradunn1.bsky.social wins both this lawsuit and his race to replace the retiring Steny Hoyer (D-MD) in Congress. There are too many candidates in the primary. He will be a more powerful presence in Congress than any of them.

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Trump: "We have a man who is doing a great job. I knew it! Because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He kept me out of jail."

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked: -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Expanded Child Tax Credit -Programs to support reproductive health Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

This is 100% true.

I have kids coming home from college for the summer. Have told them I forbid packages from #Amazon being delivered to the house. They need to shop local, or directly from the source or go without.

They will have to be Impeached, removed and prosecuted 🤬

In a series of harrowing interviews on Australia’s 60 Minutes, they paint a picture of a desert fortress where even men were subjected to vile sex attacks—while the FBI allegedly sat on tips about bodies buried in the dirt.

What an awesome idea for a raffle prize: Win a free vasectomy! (Article from @vermontpublic.org) www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...

NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

I wish the same energy for demanding a ballroom went into demanding gun reform when children are shot in schools.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT HIGH PRICES and CORRUPTION Not really a good campaign slogan, eh? BTW: FREE postcards custom made for congressional and presidential races. Go to ruralfreedomnetwork.org

It’s stunning that real life is so negatively impacted by people’s belief (or claimed belief) in different interpretations of a fictionalized story and the concept of an all-powerful but invisible being who, conveniently, sides with them and ignores their cruelty to all others.
