Beware Get your documents together If this gets passed in the Senate it becomes law Everyone needs documentation to vote The hardest hit will be women who took their husband's last name You need: birth certificate, marriage license, and photo ID. All must be originals,copies not acceptable

2/8 Reagan and Gingrich also effectively turned "liberal," "food stamps," "entitlements," or "the environment" into pejoratives. Further back, author Ayn Rand advocated for elites as more worthy than the rest of humanity. Simply put she amplified the message that their greed was righteous.

3/8 Many other toxic cultural influencers enabled sadistic dogma to become social and economic policy. Trump's MAGA depraved is the culmination of the right wing's masterclass in cultural subversion. Their war on "woke," "diversity" and the LGBTQ folks is a continuation of their cultural assault.

4/8 Simply put these people amplify grievance to replace empathy, compassion, rationality and the notion of civic duty with a cultural ethos a special few dominate and the rest of us must lay back and enjoy it. As we fight amongst ourselves over crumbs elites laugh and trade human sex toys.

5/8 For better or worse, heads of state and their political messengers define a society's cultural ethos that in turn becomes their global brand. Predatory conservatives have unapologetically strived to eliminate basic human decency from our culture.

6/8 As predatory conservatives have unapologetically correlated their culture of cruelty into socio-economic policy, "moderates" have been mealy mouthed in defense of human decency. End result is a generation of school shootings, more insane wars, and children eating worms in concentration camps.

8/8 Should that be your fates, to paraphrase Melania Trump, the rest of us will say to each other, "I don't really care. Do you?" Eliminate empathy from our culture means there will be none for any of you.

7/8 To all elites, you're on notice. We're not gonna fucking take it any more. Don't solicit our donations if you consort with humanity's enemies to fatten your bank accounts. Otherwise, you will surely find the rabble mob weaponized in the culture war will hang you upside-down Mussolini style.

🧵 1/8 Predatory #EpsteinClass conservatives have long understood that culture correlates to policy. That's why their Goebbel's mouthpiece Pat Buchanan coined the phrase in 1992. Hence, loaded phrases such as "state's rights," "welfare Cadillac queens," or "moral majority," launder their hate.

WTF

“After defeating Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy war they started has now been downgraded from ‘regime change’ to ‘Hey! Can anyone find our pilots? Please?’” Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X. "Absolute geniuses.” trib.al/UQKSHgE

Don Jr. and Eric Trump didn’t just suddenly become corrupt. What’s changed recently is they don't even try to hide it. The sketchy business is right out in the open, and they know they can get away with it. For now.

We need to do more than win in November. We need a massive blue wave. The only way to stop the MAGA shenanigans of the Trump regime is to win big, limit their power, and then do it again in 2028. Please follow the people on this list who are on the frontlines fighting for US. go.bsky.app/K6JGV3h

Dear all, Follow all in this awesome powerful Starter Pack by our own @aaronblack.bsky.social We are going to win in November when we all work together here and also across more social media. LFG!!!

This is a blatant betrayal of our veterans who have dedicated their lives to serving our country.

This is a disgrace. After serving my country overseas, the way I was able to buy a home was through the support of the VA loan program. Now, more than 10,000 veterans have lost their homes because of this administration’s disastrous decision.

In 2025, LA for the 1st time in its history showed 2-consecutive yrs of homelessness decline, dropping 17.5% since Bass took office in 2022. Thousands went into temporary housing w 85% retention rate in permanent placements Don't let MAGA media lie *Note, US homelessness is a nationwide epidemic

A lot of very smart people have worked on finding ways to rehouse people. I appreciate LA Mayor Karen Bass for working hard to cut red tape and make real progress — creating hope and saving futures. Reelect Karen Bass as @mayor.lacity.gov.

#WAR … is not a video game, a meme, or an excursion. tRvmp, who is a sadist and pathologically violent, is using his considerable propagandist skills to numb you to the horrors of war. And just as bad, maybe worse, … He could give a flying FUCK about U.S. service members❗️😡 youtu.be/45KcJxLDWpk?...

Yes, tRvmp will likely lose in the #SCOTUS case Trump v Barbara, but the bigger question, answered here by @elienyc.bsky.social, is why was the case even heard? Yes, we’ll take the win, but there are bad losses still to come! 😢 open.substack.com/pub/thenatio...

My prayers are with the service members, their families and loved ones, and for the safe return of those still missing. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

In my weekly video, I talk about why democracy matters after 8 million people showed up to say #NoKings & the importance of protecting it. I also share @aft.org wins, including strong contracts, new agreements and workers organizing for a better future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w_x...

Can you have another one in May too? Oh and how ‘bout that #GeneralStrike? 🧐

NEWS: A second U.S. Air Force combat aircraft has gone down in the Persian Gulf region, per NYT. Officials say an A-10 Warthog crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, with the pilot safely rescued. This comes as an F-15E was shot down over Iran—one crew member recovered, search ongoing for another.

Maybe we shouldn’t have gloated about Iran having no air defenses left when Iran clearly still has air defenses? Just a thought.

A girls’ school. Desks. Backpacks. Dreams. Bombed! Felon47 casually say “some of our soldiers may lose their lives,”. That’s someone’s child. He says it like it’s weather. Families will feel it like an earthquake💔 There is nothing strong about empty desks and folded flags. Nothing! #SheShed

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez challenges systems designed to exclude us. She refuses to shrink, soften or apologize. When women stand firm, power trembles! When one woman speaks boldly, millions feel less alone. That’s not noise! That’s leadership! #SheShed #StrongWomen #UnapologeticWomen 1/2

A lot of crazy 💩 going on in the world. It's pretty bleak, but at least there are some incredibly talented comedians who can make us laugh about it. Here's a fun #TimelineCleanse

Can we all agree that as soon as the fascists are no longer in charge, that EVERY single person involved in the torture & brutality of immigrants including children & babies is severely punished? Even paper pushers & administrators were prosecuted in the Nuremberg Trials.

Lots of questions on this thread about… “OK, but are these numbers for real!?”

#GirlPower #RadicalWomen #WomenBelongEVERYWHERE Amina, also known as Queen Amina of Zazzau (Zaria), was a 16th-century Hausa warrior queen in what is now northern Nigeria.

In Jan 2025, he said Elon Musk was going the balance the budget with DOGE finding fraud. On 2/2/25 he said tariffs would balance the budget. On 6/2 he said OBBB would balance the budget. On 6/12 he said Trump Cards would balance the budget. Now he says Vance will do it.

One way or another, this country is going to learn that accommodating white supremacist ideology will destroy this country. It did so once before and is doing so again. Is this country really prepared to allow our military to be DESTROYED by racism & sexism. Are we watching this like a TV show?

"Under Bondi, in the first six months of Trump’s administration, DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, fraud, and drugs..." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

When I first came to Italy, more than a quarter of a century ago, the 1st film I saw was by these 3 Milanese comics and I didn’t laugh once. Of course as I understood Italian politics, geographical differences and inter-country prejudices they became funnier. But 1/3 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ask_Me_...

We are now at the point where it is completely legitimate to wonder... Who will be the next: -American Citizen -student activist -journalist -college professor -lawyer -Democrat politician -nurse (Pretti) -mother (Good) to be executed on the streets of America?

Trump wants to use free navigation of the Strait of Hormuz to drag erstwhile US allies into his war. Iran wants to use control of the strait to separate the US from its erstwhile allies. Who has the upper hand in this process? Iran. Never before has a US president conducted warfare so witlessly.

I’m gonna hazard a small analysis here. Pete Hegseth didn’t just fire the Army chief of staff because the #WarinIran is not going well (spoiler alert, it isn’t!), he likely fired him for telling him and the felon in chief things they didn’t want to hear! 🧐 And this… 1/2 youtu.be/cIY7cHvrUDk?...
