During a protest against ICE outside 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, pepper spray was used on demonstrators, and a police officer accidentally sprayed himself in the process.

Well, that was more than an hour I'll never get back. This Military gathering was an insult to the entire US and all of those who were required to leave their posts to come back here to listen to that bullshit. To quote dear leader "SAD"

I was listening @jeffsharlet.bsky.social on the @nicolesandler.bsky.social show via Progressive Voices. I loved the analogy tumbling down mountain slope grabbing roots as we fall. I also agree the factions of the left should stop infighting or the worst of fascism will occur.

Looking forward to talking with Nicole

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

PROTESTS WORK

Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, is on video allegedly taking a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents. But as soon as Trump took office, that FBI investigation was DOA. The Trump Administration is just a gift to grift, but Democrats are fighting back. youtu.be/ClPGl9hHi40?...

Somebody at the UN deserves a prize for this

WE DO WE DO WE DO WE DO....

Power of the $$$!

Opposite World! Anything he says, just flip it to the complete opposite and you'll find the truth

Congressmember @velazquez.house.gov has introduced a bill in Congress that would bar immigration agents from wearing facial coverings during enforcement actions. "This administration is out of control, and it's affecting everyone."

On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

"We're getting rid of the falsely named renewables" followed by a phalanx of lies about renewables.

"Like nothing you've ever seen before"

"I have the highest poll numbers I've ever had" IN WHAT UNIVERSE? What drugs is he taking?

Trump takes his lies to the UN

This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

I'll give you marble floors, they'll give you terrazzo. And if you're lucky, I'll throw in some of that gaudy plastic wall shit painted gold that I put all over the oval office.

"Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for these wars that I say I ended"

Latke "Thank you very much". He stopped a million wars!! vomitatious

OMG... we're both in great shape. Please.

The lies are spinning faster than I can keep up with them. When does the General Assembly start laughing? I'm thinking they would have already if his rhetoric wasn't so frightening.

FREE SPEECH! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Hell yeah!
