Last year ICE fascists shot and killed a 23-year-old American citizen named Ruben Ray Martinez. Then they covered up the murder. A year later, the only witness to the crime has died in a car accident. Read and subscribe (especially if you’re in Texas): letsaddresstexas.substack.com/p/ice-shot-a...

They're really stopping an election that's already under way to erase my people from the map.

#DonTheCon strikes again - remember when Trump promised that this ballroom wouldn't cost the taxpayers anything?

Surprise surprise!

Palestinian photographer Saher Alghorra was awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography for documenting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. His photos are worth seeing, so here’s a gift link:

People are hurting, Republicans in Congress know it. They’ll be thinking of you while they dance the night away in Trump’s new gold-plated ballroom — funded by $1 billion of your tax dollars.

Happy Cinco de` Mayo DOLORES HUERTA, Champion for Labor Congratulations and thank you to DOLORES HUERTA for ENDORSING XAVIER BECERRA for Governor of California .. He will be a GREAT GOVERNOR of CALIFORNIA @xavierbecerra.bsky.social xavierbecerra.com El Tio Becerra Era

Republicans think women are like breeding stock that they can force to reproduce, it is disgraceful

Let us not forget!!!

America Continues Coddling Weak, White Men with Joy Ann Reid The Trump Administration's remarkable failures and dismantling of U.S. security and power are yet another sign of the destructive illusion and fallacy of white supremacy. thelefthook.substack.com/p/america-co...

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

Checkmate! “If we can take back control of the Straits of Hormuz, it is checkmate,” Graham said. “This thing is over.” Ummm….ok. So all we have to do is go back to the way things were before you started killing people and blowing $#!+ up. Got it. Thanks, Lin. #RadioFreeAmerica #politics

Reminds me of this viral Twitter post:

The brothers and their parents were taken into federal custody earlier this year during a required immigration check-in. The story caught the ear of a country music icon. n.pr/42cshJn

Republicans want you to believe that women are the problem, but the truth is that these toxic, white MAGA males are insecure. It’s obvious they’re terrified of strong, independent women who have their own opinions and aren’t buying their misogynistic bullshit. Republican men are the oppressors.

And Republican women are toxic white insecure males' biggest collaborators.

Why don't these guys just say "I'm a White Supremacist"? They want us to think they're alpha males or whatever but they're too cowardly to be honest about their bigotry

Usually, you see this level of lying from shitty authoritarian regimes, which is on brand for Trump; expect more BS.

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

My PT (who masks but doesn't require patients to) was infected with covid by a patient last year. Had to cancel a couple weeks or so of appointments til she was testing negative. A lot of us had to go without our regular care because one person couldn't be bothered to protect the medical provider 🤦

She sums it up this way: “I became a cringe MAGA influencer for 8 years before I found my brain.” Now she is ready to “talk about my experience within this machine of MAGA” and “speak about the inside of a system that nobody else is.” Then there was Elon's "breeding plan" for her.

ffs

Violent men run everything Misogyny is hate crime Women have always been at war Who cares?

1 in 3 Americans are skipping meals or cutting utilities just to afford healthcare. •ONE IN THREE• I personally fall into that statistic. And Republicans want to cut Medicaid to fund Trump's war. This is a crisis Republicans are CHOOSING. #HealthcareNotWarfare

Today in beautiful St Mary’s county I joined IAM workers as they launched their campaign against billionaires. Workers are the backbone of this country, not billionaires. They were elated to have a candidate come and stand with them! I will always stand with workers, with unions, and with you.

🆘 JAPACHE! Euth Listed by the Maga goon squad for leash biting, are you kidding me. He’s a sweet affectionate boy alone and scared in this shelter. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF THERE‼️ NY NJ NH NE CT DE DC MD ME MA PA VA VT RI- expenses covered! Please repost me! Urgent 🚨

Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress cut healthcare, but give unlimited funding to sustain a war in Iran that nobody wants. The cost of gas and groceries have increased significantly while you struggle to afford medicine. Vote them all out in November! #HealthcareNotWarfare

I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

Gas prices are up over 50% since your dad started a reckless war in Iran. But congrats on the airport logo. Huge accomplishment!

I have a suggestion for democratic governors and states attorneys. Stop suing and start redistricting. Play the same game.AR, CA,CN,CO,Del,HI,IL,KA,KN,MA,NY, NJ,NC,OR,PN,RI,VE,VI,WA,and WI.The dem states are more populated. Get busy redraw all the 20+ dem state maps. See who wins period full stop!!!

What happened to the donors who were paying for the ballroom and not the taxpayers?

Here’s 30 years of Bibi Netanyahu claiming that Iran is days away from nuclear weapons.

Even Fox News is shaking their head at this

Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service. Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world. [1/2]

They spent at least $50 BILLION over 2 months to bomb people in Iran. I don't want to hear a single thing about what can and cannot be funded in this country. Ever. The End.

"Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that 'donors' were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it." - Ron Filipkowski #DonTheCon

Fair warning. I’m gonna tap the sign now…

Finally, some good news to share Thanks to the people who documented this, the freedom fighters and lawyers who made the bonds for these detainees. La Lucha Sigue ✊🏽

The married lawmaker is facing allegations of sexual misconduct toward two female staffers.
