Wow, @laloalcaraz.bsky.social "I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk

"no more superficial individual expression"

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Love the @nashvillebanner.bsky.social!! Best source for local news!!

I don't know why I keep reaching in my mind for this analogy but American political culture feels to me right now like what Moses found when he returned from Mt Sinai and everyone had said "screw it" and started worshipping the golden calf.

So glad to see him reelected, and y'know *in* office since they literally changed the locks on him I wrote about this town last year bc there was a lawsuit to make it have elections, which coincidentally stopped around when the Voting Rights Act was passed 🙃 ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

“We cannot build bananas in America”

Starting a SCARED STRAIGHT style program where pro athletes visit high schools across America to make parents realize their kids have no chance

For the Banner I wrote about La Brigada de Oro, fear of travelling to a game and the tension that comes from an MLS club wanting to market to different groups but also trying to stay out of politics.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

White House releases new photos of suspected MS-13 members with tattoos on their hands:

Our government feels like when Scar took over after Mufasa died. Just a bunch of ecological damage and hyenas running around this mf.

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

THIS is what we want from our Democratic leaders FIGHT MAGA has NOTHING on the Democrats Our ideas are better Our policies are better Our leaders are better And the country is ALWAYS demonstrably better after a Democrat is president @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social will prove it The Reformers

Trump’s view on trade deficits is like getting mad at Target because you spend money there but they never buy anything from you. It’s just complete brain dead nonsense.

feels about right for today.

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

Has anybody seen Elon tonight?

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

Just another Sunday. 🇺🇸

This is hilarious. #Greenland

Holy shit. I didn't know all this. This is crazy.

Support these businesses, please.

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

Leaked audio of JD Vance in a jealous rant… Let’s just say JD Vance is no fan of Elon Musk and thinks he makes him look bad. But the truth is—Trump and Vance don’t need Elon to make them look bad.

World’s worst parent and it’s a high bar.

How can the IRS have tax info for undocumented immigrants when conservatives have spent years telling us undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes?

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

This poster is not true. You can’t do anything you dream of. Neither can I. Wish it was true but it’s not. You be the best you. I’ll be the best me. And that will be enough.

🚨😳 The Pentagon is going to brief Musk on Military plans for potential war with China! Gov. Walz…’Musk is an unstable private citizen who has no authority, and no business messing around with our government’s most sensitive interests’!

How, just how?

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Shutdown Averted

Wonder how the CEO’s of all the other automakers feel about Trump hosting a PR stunt for Tesla?

My question is whether Wall Street understands that an important segment of the EV market customer base will not buy a Tesla at any price. It could teleport me places and I would not buy it. I would not drive one if you gave it to me for free.

Hi, I’m God. A child’s “right to life” should include the right not to die from measles.

Senator Murphy: “This White House is on its way to being the most corrupt in the history of the country.” From Trump taking bribes through his meme coin to Musk giving himself FAA contracts to Eric Adams to Pam Bondi not enforcing foreign agent laws... Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DG6xU3z...

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls
