Trump hasn’t stood in front of cameras and ranted about a trans shooter in the home state of Tim Walz and then his plans changed and he stayed in DC (which he hates) for a 3-day weekend, but I see no one in the national media asking why.

We need red flag laws. We don’t need weapons of war on our streets. I was just in Minneapolis and the city is lovely for sure, but the people made it better welcoming us with their kindness. My heart goes out to those who are hurting. We MUST do better. We must.

We cannot keep our children safe anywhere. We have failed them. Younger people can and should be part of our government. They need a seat at the table because we sure as hell haven’t been able to fix this problem.

Congratulations. Now please do something real, immediately, about the fact that the VA News is soliciting veterans for ICE jobs. This is OFFENSIVE in the extreme. ICE is not about immigration. It’s about racism. And yes, I am a veteran.

I won! I’m so excited to roll up my sleeves and get to work!

If you’re in Minneapolis, you can come to the Hilton tomorrow morning and vote for me!

Can you get to Minneapolis Tuesday, August 26th from 10:30-12:00? If so, please come and vote for some amazing people (and me!) for the Veterans and Military Family Members Council executive committee. This council *desperately* needs new leadership.

"If you think taking the high road means silence, you’re missing the moment. Silence is not strength. It’s surrender."

The thing about John Bolton is Donald Trump is all over the Epstein files.

I truly thought Bed, Bath, and Beyond closed. I haven’t been in one of their stores in 15 years because I couldn’t take all that clutter and chaos so, yeah, makes sense the CEO is MAGA.

If you don't want nothing, don't start nothing...but if you start something, don't think I'm just going to accept it. rachelvindman.substack.com/p/fight-figh...

Started/Going Steve Brodie Edition 🤣🤣🤣

Janessa Goldbeck, a Marine Corps veteran, is now speaking for @vetvoicefoundation.bsky.social. Refusing to act on climate change hands U.S. rivals an advantage, she said.

Calllll

Oh please do not repost this mischief. Whatever you do. But if you do, sing "Ace Is The Place With The Hateful Hardhead Boss." Okay? Thanks. @natsechobbyist.bsky.social

Also call the FBI? I thought it was against the law to threaten people?

You know what to do. 🙂

This level of strategic petty is absolute genius. @natsechobbyist.bsky.social is a treasure.

The owner DENNIS JONES, also owns this store if you need to reach him.

EVERYBODY PLEASE REPOST THIS POST!

I understand the mission Rachel.

UPDATE: I called Steve and asked him if he wanted to delete his post calling for the murder of my husband and me or should I have people call them all day and he hung up on me so I think that means he wants people to call his business all day.

Just another day that ends in y with some random bitch lying about us and a guy named Steve calling for us to be lynched.

We have a president who rolls out a red carpet for despotic murderers and issues dress codes for our allies. (I was going to say 'issues sartorial demands' but I wanted to make sure MAGA cult members understood me.)

SAY LESS!

Sending our best girl to her first day of high school has us all emotionally exhausted 🤍

Cross country practice begins today which means around 3 my phone will be blowing up with messages explaining who isn’t going to practice and why (9/10 times it involves orthodontists or dentists.

I thought I had to wait 365 days from my last optometrist appointment in order for my insurance to cover it. And same for new glasses. It turns out, the benefits renew every January so not being able to see well for the past 2-3 months was entirely preventable by, you know, reading.

Join our LIVE launch now! I am so excited to be part of @thesirennetwork.bsky.social 💙 open.substack.com/pub/thesiren...

This is really going to help the US attract international tourists!

These Epstein distractions are getting ridiculous but can they please leave home improvement projects for the White House out of it?

An important point. If CA wants to redraw, we would need a special election because of our state constitution. We should be organizing that now.

“My job as a grandmother is not to make sure my grandchild is safe.”

Here’s the thing about Sydney Sweenie who I never heard of until a few days ago: I have a teenager and we will never step foot in @americaneagle @aerie or the other store whose name I can’t even remember. Bye ✌🏻

12 House Democrats joined together in a lawsuit on Wednesday against ICE, attesting that the agency denied them Congressional Oversight into detention facilities.

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

Today I am very proud and excited to announce my candidacy for Military Families Co-Chair position on the DNC’s Veteran’s and Military Families Council 💙🇺🇸❤️ During this critical moment in our nation we must all use our voices in the most powerful ways we can. I believe this is mine.

I don’t know if I’m going to run for the Senate, but if I do you’re going to get someone who always shows up to deliver results for my constituents. Someone who will NEVER back down - who will call out corruption, bad policy and BS whenever and wherever I see it. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/06...

There are few things in life that are a sure thing. You can always be sure that Donald Trump will make a fool of us when he travels abroad.

From the moment I saw that positive pregnancy test, I knew I would do *anything* to protect this little one. That’s what being a parent is and I refuse to judge or condemn anyone who seeks a better life for their children.

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.

Trying to fundraise over what's happening in LA without telling me *exactly* what you are doing to HELP is gross. This isn't a fucking game.

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters marching peacefully in LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard Reporter: “What we’re looking at right now is a quiet, organized group and demonstrators marching peacefully to their destination.”

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

This is why *none* of his nominees should have been approved by Dem senators. An absolute abomination.

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the love of my life/my ride or die. The next 50 years starts today 💚

Zelensky has promised to stop the war between Trump and Musk in 24 hours.
