I’m waiting for the black smoke

Don’t poke the bear.

For the sake of our children, our loved ones, and the futures they deserve, we can’t just stand back and watch this democracy disappear. It’s time to level the playing field. It’s time to fight back.

What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.

UPDATE on the Border Patrol arrest outside of Newsom's press conference last week. A dozen Border Patrol agents descended on the streets outside his conference. They ended up arresting a delivery driver with no criminal record — then appear to have lied and claimed he was a drug dealer.

🚨 HUGE NEWS: PRESIDENT OBAMA BACKS CALIFORNIA’S FIGHT TO SAVE DEMOCRACY WITH REDISTRICTING.

I don't care what President Fat F*ck says, SLAVERY WAS BAD! Pass it on.

Unconstitutional.

It's bad enough to watch these people flip flop on their previous positions... but do they realize that the thing they're flip flopping ON is getting accountability for child rapists?

In December 2023, Kash Patel said that Epstein's black book was under the "direct control of the Director of the FBI." Can anyone remind me who the current Director of the FBI is?

Always have . . .

Amazing watching these rightwing grifters blame Pam Bondi for refusing to release the Epstein files— as if she has an ounce of autonomy. As if she’s not merely a Trump appendage. The mental gymnastics they do to avoid acknowledging that their deity was close with a pedophile is a sight to behold.

The latest update from the "protect the children" party:

Why so quiet, JD?

“We were there for unrelated reasons but also we were never there.”

Call To Action: National Protest to call for the removal of Donald Trump. Washington dc and every state capitol, city hall, and town hall. Organize yourselves, post your events below, stronger together. The country is in your hands. #3E #NoKings #RemoveTrump

⚠️Criminal charges needed—UHC secretly paid kickbacks to nursing homes to block/reduce hospital transfers of nursing patients to the 🏥. End result is $$$ in UHC pockets—while your grandma dies without hospital care… how is this not committing outright murder? Asking for a guy named Luigi.

HEINOUS—Trump HHS’s RFK Jr just ended US recommendation that healthy pregnant women & kids receive COVID vaccines. 📌Extraordinary move that bypasses scientific system of vaccine guidelines from CDC!! Kids & women are not immune to Long COVID! Gift🎁🔗 wapo.st/4kk4DlE

Elon Musk’s DOGE was an abject failure. Musk said the cost-cutting task force would save $2 trillion. But even its own estimate says that just $160 billion has been saved — and at tremendous cost to our country. That’s one reason why Musk is so hated by average Americans.

Wowie. Republicans can’t govern, 2025 edition. What an absolute disaster for Johnson and Trump.

BREAKING: The GOP-led House Budget Committee just voted to reject Trump's big budget bill — an embarrassing setback for Republicans. Five conservative hardliners joined all Democrats in voting against the bill.

Great podcast!!!

NEW: ICEBlock is like Waze but for reporting ICE. Check it out here: slate.com/technology/2...

HAPPENING NOW: A hearing in the Abrego Garcia case about the ridiculous Trump state secrets privilege. I'll be following along here:

Remember when the Secret Service shut down these outfits on Amazon for threatening Biden? Yeah, me either. 😬

Good lord. The Trump administration invoked privilege 1400 times in the Abrego Garcia case?

Congratulations, Bruce Hilpert, on your excellent Letter to the Editor in today's Arizona Daily Star!!

BIG BEAUTIFUL BUST Chaos for Trump and GOP—The House Budget Committee blocks the GOP tax and spending bill from advancing in a 16–21 vote. Republicans Clyde, Roy, Brecheen, Norman, and Smucker voted NO. An embarrassing setback for Johnson and Trump from their own party.

Accurate. This “8647” outrage is absolute fucking nonsense. I’m not even a fan of Comey, but pretending that 86 means to assassinate someone is insane.

✈️ ICE Air in Nevada 👀 An Avelo Airlines A320 (tail: N804VL) on ICE charter is arriving now in Reno from Phoenix-Mesa.

He was only unable to kneel at their feet due to physical limitations. This dishonest jerk will stop at nothing to get freebies and cash.

Guilty of treason

This all so sad.

Unhinged!!!🤬

Hey MAGA, here's a nice fuck you from your leader. Idiots

Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future. And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.

Trump’s Eugenics Program Will Decide Who Lives & Who Dies !?! The MAGA movement isn’t just pushing bad policy, they’re implementing a modern form of eugenics. conspiranon.blogspot.com/2024/08/mr-t...

This thread. I can’t explain it, but I haven’t been to church since high school, and yet this deeply offended me.

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

NEW: The Trump Administration want's you to believe it's the most transparent in history, when nothing could be further from the truth. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/transparen...

This is complete BS. So are federal employees who don’t show allegiance going to be fired ?

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

The Trump White House rapid response account accidentally retweeted a report that Hegseth is on his way out

Unhinged

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat."
