To my peeps, and my Brown and LGBTQ friends. Never forget that your light was so damn bright they handed the world to the first asshole who promised to dim it.

Shenna Bellows is running for Governor of Maine. Listen to this great answer during her primary debate tonight when she was asked to talk about her opponents and contrast her governing vision. This is so refreshing. Perfect answer. Follow her: @shennabellows.bsky.social

The new passports are crazy y'all

A stoic has no uniform and resembles no stereotype. They are not identifiable by look or by sight or by sound. The only way to recognize them? By their character.

The Trump Administration viciously defends “political” content from MAGA-affiliated evangelical pulpits, and political activism by church affiliates acting like all but Super PACs. Just remember that when they attack Catholic priests for speaking out on the war or anything else.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.

welp unfortunately it looks like the world actually is a complicated place that requires us to put smart people in charge, hate to say it but sometimes shit matters and its not all a troll

This is the type of energy we need.

I prefer presidents who don’t threaten to end civilizations.

Calling for a cease-fire in the evening does not somehow erase calling for the genocide of an entire civilization the same day. This is erratic and reckless leadership. In fact it isn’t leadership at all. He is unfit. He has always been unfit for the presidency.

Ah, nostalgia.

🙃

There’s no better day than NO KINGS to reflect on the words of General Mark Milley “We don’t take an oath to a King”…

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

putting ice in a confined space with cameras everywhere and a bunch of pissed off air travelers is an awesome idea let’s do it

Harris, “and we’re good with that”. 😳

We've let the wrong people define masculinity. It’s time we take it back. Real masculinity is doing what's right, and doing it with kindness, empathy and compassion. @principlesfirst.bsky.social

This is great.

“Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul and faith” Rolling Stones. Sympathy for the Devil

the rest of the world deferred to us not because they needed to but because it was easy, all to great benefit of us, and we destroyed that to get out of having to watch one hour diversity training videos once a year

"This is my Rick Santelli moment, this guy. We need to track him down." @timmiller.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social on an everyday protestor in Minneapolis who gets itL

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task? Answer? He wanted a *war*.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

GOP Senate still in fetal position as they backed away from their constitutional job to declare war. This GOP shouldn’t be trusted in any job except “pedophile protector”. Thanks to UAW worker for shouting truth at Trump. You are brave and strong and wise unlike the cowering Republican Senators.

ICE was holding a 5‑yr‑old autistic child on the street as bait to get a mother to leave her house. PAXIS can help in this situation with clear instructions of what to do and what not to do— help fund it here: gofund.me/f7c8e7424 and get it into the hands of millions.

Struck a nerve?

The only police officer shooting Republicans won’t reflexively defend is one that involved a woman who broke through police barricades and stormed the US Capitol with a huge mob ranting and raving to forcibly overturn a lawful presidential election.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world. It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office. Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

This is Seth at his best youtu.be/CUW2GmKtqO0?...

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

It used to be an impeachable offense. Now it’s a daily occurrence.

Firing over 100 immigration judges. Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings. Pausing asylum decisions. And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen. Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

FBI Director Kash Patel: "When you attack our nation's capital, you attack the very being of our way of life. This FBI and this DOJ stand here to tell you we will always refute it and combat it." Donald Trump pardoned over 1,500 rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol...

Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Dxgx5q0QLcI

A Christianity that makes the ultra wealthy and powerful feel safe and supported while making the poor and powerless feel unsafe and unsupported is a Christianity that is following someone other than Jesus.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public" - Theodore Roosevelt

No one who pardoned J/6 protesters that beat cops, etc. should ever be forgiven. This was treason and he’s doing worse today.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

ABC suspends Kimmel indefinitely, yet offers no defense or even acknowledges what was said by Trump about their employee, Jonathan Karl.
