I thought there were no US casualties in the Caracas raid.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I’m not sure people are going to rush to protect Merrick Garland the way they seem to think…

We need to believe the victims.

Some thoughts on the role of the artist in the struggle against oppression open.substack.com/pub/braggb/p...

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

So what’s the “Big Aspirin”?

Press: Mr. President, can you tell us when you plan to release the rest of the Epstein files? Psycho: Are you still talking about that with all that’s going on? Press: Yes, we are, sir! Yes, we are!

As a veteran, I say this: All active duty troops involved in the illegal attack on Venezuela, and illegal abduction of the democratically elected President of that country, are by definition war criminals. Commanders should have disobeyed illegal orders. Troops should do so going forward.

The looks on these people’s faces.

This is all just a lie.

This is a serious power move. Pope Leo is doing what he can. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Notice that the parts of Trump's economic program that help working and middle class Americans — DOGE checks, tariff rebates, and warrior dividends — are popular, progressive, and non-existent. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular, regressive and very very real.

These are monstrous men and women. They are angels of death, instruments of misery and architects of a sinister future that must be opposed by all Americans of good faith and goodwill.

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Americans are struggling to pay their bills and afford groceries, and we've got a President who is asleep at the wheel.

Commander In Sleep

This.

You think these things are parody articles but they aren’t… apnews.com/article/dona...

A dignatary of the crow king whispers in the ear of the steward of the queen bees lands. They have been seen huddling in private enclaves. Is he emissary or spy? She has grown wealthy off her accord with the hive. Could a liaison with the crows prove profitable as well? #art #artsky #bskyart

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

Elected officials should be able to remind Americans that members of the military take an oath to the Constitution, not the president, without facing calls for their imprisonment or execution. Full stop.

@brandyzadrozny.bsky.social’s point is a good one. You’d kind of think, or maybe you’d just kind of wish or hope, there’d be a hero who would just say something. His behavior is disgusting and unacceptable. We need to stop accepting it.

Whoever came up with these tariffs in the first place should be fired.

To paraphrase Marie Antoinette, “let them eat shit.”

Very good analysis on how the Supreme Court’s very bad stay of the lower court SNAP decision actually contains some good language and may have been an effort by Justice Jackson to salvage something for the hungry in the face of a Court that seems bonded in support of Trump.

House Republicans were elected to do a job. They are on strike I guess?

At this point, Barack Obama should come out and publicly say he’d love to be President again and he hasn’t ruled out running for a third term. I’m serious. My fellow Democrats, either fight or go home.

If he’s only going to send aid to red states, blue states need to stop footing the bill. We’re the giver states and fund the rest of the country. He won’t use OUR money on us? He shouldn’t get our money.

It’s a shitty tattoo. It was a monstrous thing to text. Mistakes yes. But the other option is a vote for a substantive monster. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

OMG. What an ad!

"Trump is going to invade American cities and bulldoze the White House" would have been seen as an alarmist liberal fever dream thing to say a year ago

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

Karoline Leavitt is a complete disgrace. Her violent and unhinged rhetoric is going to get someone killed. These extremists are sick people.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

What’s that? A little more than $120 from each human being in the United States to prop up a foreign ruler who claims to be such a libertarian he doesn’t need government intervention. And all us Americans get is inflation and no more vaccines.

"Today you lose; tomorrow you might win. Things change, Kundun." Be open to possibility #sundaythoughts

They are doing this as part of the greatest threat Americans have ever faced. One that has killed more of us than any foreign power (think about healthcare alone). Terrorists who corrupted the system and tried to violently overturn our elections and kill our representatives. American Conservatives.

I hope Qatar has the decency to use their own planes next time.

This is an astonishing statement from a sitting United States Senator. Make no mistake, I think Senator Wyden is right. I’m glad our leaders are finally saying the silent part out loud.

This is crazy and sick.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Checking in: Why won’t @SpeakerJohnson honor the police officers I was made for? Why can’t he even give a reason for not installing me?

I am not on site and have no particular knowledge, but it’s possible that what IL State Trooper are doing is not an escalation but a desperate attempt to stop one. IL and local police cannot interfere or hinder Federal forces. (Con’t)

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.
