This is what Patriot Front does on 4th of July. This is normal for them. They cover their faces so you don't knownit's the same 40 of them everywhere because their numbers are small. They're a single fascist flash mob traveling the country.

I feel like a wrung out dishrag… emotionally. Since starting report cards (May), my to-do list became so long that daily tasks took over all my non working/sleeping hours. And school ended Friday, but it’s still been nonstop helping our youngest move out. Now I can’t slow my brain, so I’m fidgety 😬

Americans still don’t grasp how utterly depraved Yam Tits and the GOP are. They created the shadow #Freedom250, routed taxpayer money through the National Park Foundation to enrich themselves, and robbed us of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. This isn’t patriotism. It’s plunder. shorturl.at/Fvpbu

As a white person it's probably not my place to say this, but everyone sharing that picture of patriot front on the train with that poor woman just makes me think everyone is participating in resharing participatory propaganda made for the white gaze and not doing anything more useful

Welcome to end-stage capitalist America.

BREAKING: an anti-Trump march is currently underway in Washington DC — few mainstream outlets will cover it. It’s our duty to keep it going! Let’s go!

I am currently drinking a Woodchuck hard cider and an excellent aged rum and I approve of this message.

Mourners marched across the Mississippi to the federal building carrying coffins for every migrant that has died in DHS custody.

GOP is the “Let them eat steak” party.

It's important for us all to acknowledge these white supremacists aren't marching with masks and sunglasses in our Nation's Capital out of personal safety. They're masked because they're cowards. They lack conviction. They're gutless. They're timid. They're soft.

I love this

Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.

America: Look, Just Give Us A Minute

3/ That’s the epiphany. It’s not left vs. center vs. right. It’s donors vs. anyone threatening to change the arrangement. Corporate money funds both parties - more to the GOP for tax cuts and deregulation, but Dem-side too, just enough to keep progressives seeking to tax the rich boxed out.

It was July 1976 when Tina Turner had had enough fights and beatings with Ike to leave him permanently. It was her Independence Day...

The USA celebrates its 251st anniversary

This deserves all of the whoops! and these judges deserve all of our support.

Cabo Verde made their fans very proud tonight. So inspiring...🫶 What an amazing run in this World Cup. ⚽️🇨🇻

I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

Plus, you can borrow e-books directly from your library so those who don’t have access to cars or the ability to drive can read good books too.

With All Due Respect @carbajal.house.gov, Why have you failed to acknowledge the heroic action of Major Jason P. Watson on the steps of your Capitol Building? Is it because you place PARTY above "THE PEOPLE" or you’d rather FUNDRAISE off tyranny than invoke #RULE9? "WE THE PEOPLE"

Poor Todd Blanche. 😵‍💫 He's in the unfortunate position of hiding the crimes of the Rapist in Chief. That sucks.

The odds that McConnell is dead and yet remains in office are high and bodes poorly for other historical events which have not yet transpired

When Jeff Bezos (who is 100 times richer than Taylor Swift) was married, he essentially took over the city of Venice, pushed locals aside, and provided nothing lasting in return. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce personally donated over $26 million to charities to commemorate their wedding.

Take you dog for a walk. They can’t do it without you.

Sorry, but there should not be a privileged class that is allowed to wipe entire Black and Brown neighborhoods off the map so that they have the right to poison the air and kill people with a deadly metal cage, which they then store on public property

The United States Constitution is such an inconvenience for racists.

It’s HOT! Don’t forget to unplug your local Data center to stay cool.

I love that Larry keeps getting to work adventures despite not meeting his quota. Every workplace should be so kind to people learning their jobs.

Stay safe out there, friends.

I encounter students who're like "give me something easier to read," and when I ask what they mean, they say "something with smaller words," and I struggle not to tell them to pick up a fucking dictionary or raise their hands in class and ask a question about the word they don't understand.

Politics is not a TV show. It is real and it affects peoples lives.

Just a reminder. I'm always surprised how many people aren't aware of this. #Libraries

Weren’t they given a 7/2 deadline for releasing all of the interacted files? Seeing more about the empty “country fair” than this.

Pitiful we live in a country where a football player and a musician-superstar have a better effect on citizens lives than our government who is supposed to prioritize our general welfare.

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.

Republicans claiming that Zohran’s Mamdani’s REQUEST asking people in NYC to set their thermostats to 78 degrees to conserve energy is “communism” is just so typically pathetic and weak. They revel in performative ignorance as their brand.

Every time I hear people talk about the Dems problem with men, I think about the way the right talks about women. Fuentes is hardly radical within the GOP on this, as we’ve seen from people like Sean “mommy milky” Davis or any number of right wing political commentators.

The main challenge of the last 20 years is that people no longer face repercussions for being dumb. There’s always a bubble you can exist in where your dumb shit is average or higher.

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

Are we afraid DC will forget that they’re subjects under military rule?
