Happy 4th.

In Italy, authorities said Wednesday they're keeping Mount Etna's alert level at "yellow" as bursts of gas and magma continue after its latest eruption. Footage shows lava lighting up the night sky as molten lava flows down the mountainside on the island of Sicily.

Amazon Prime Days are here. However, with these “great deals” comes a dark side—price fixing. Amazon is colluding with vendors and retailers to raise costs for consumers across the market. We’re in court to stop it.

Republican voters are nazis.

Orange moron voters are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

1. A network of purportedly progressive super PACs, spending millions in Democratic primaries across the country, is funded by a Republican dark money group, the American Prosperity Alliance (APA).

Management by moron cult.

Summer solstice–the start of astronomical summer–was this morning at 4:24 a.m. EDT. The hottest parts of summer are still weeks away, but this year’s solstice does include above-normal temperatures in the Mid-Atlantic, Southern Plains, and Pacific Northwest.

Orange moron voters are nazis 🖕

"I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is and remind us what we can achieve when we embrace our shared responsibilities as citizens," former President Barack Obama told the crowd. https://to.pbs.org/4uLPCNJ

Corporate America has turned its back on democracy and bowed down to Trump. When, in the future, it once agains becomes convenient for them to say they celebrate democracy we should not believe them. In the meantime, we are on our own.

Capitalists have no problem killing people for profit.

All orange moron voters are pestilence. 🖕

It's time for us to ban stock trading for all members of Congress, for the vice president, and for the president. Period.

1. Progressive Champions PAC, a super PAC created last month, says on its website that its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates up and down the ballot.” A Popular Information investigaiton reveals that it's a GOP front group. Following along for receipts. 🧵

Gutting $1 trillion from Medicaid wasn’t enough to appease the greedy billionaires. Now, Republicans are coming for our Social Security and Medicare. @wyden.senate.gov

On this day in history 160 years ago, Congress passed the 14th Amendment to enshrine the right to birthright citizenship in our Constitution. We went to the Supreme Court earlier this year to preserve this essential right for generations to come.

Jay Clayton has shown that he is willing to spread baseless lies about voting in order to curry favor with Trump. Whether he is a committed election denier or merely an opportunist is not for me to judge — and, in any case, it is beside the point. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

It doesn’t matter who’s in charge. FISA 702 can’t be renewed without real reforms. Case in point: Trump’s latest nominee for director of national intelligence was peddling election conspiracies just a few days ago.

Trump cut nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for giant corporations. Now they're telling cancer patients and people with HIV that they need to work harder to keep their health insurance. Unconscionable.

1. Don't believe the headlines. Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund is not "dead." The Trump administration wants to the public to believe it's dead. But their ACTIONS tell a very different story.

All republicans are fascist bigots. 🖕. Of course, this sham court would not be there if braindead, prurity 'progressives' had come out for Hillary in 2016. Instead, the mindless f**ks toed the "they are both the same" line.

We’re urging Congress to reject the SECURE Data Act—a federal bill that would undermine state privacy protections.

EFF advisor @reitman.bsky.social joined @taylorlorenz.bsky.social to explore the terrifying reality of financial censorship as explained in her new book, “Transaction Denied” from @beaconpress.bsky.social. youtu.be/tyqEYDisiZA

Dropped our ballots at the vote center at 10:00 am.

Curious Girl Straitjacketed with MoRina. Her attempt to reach and use a phone is stimulating to watch. 🥲

UPDATE: Mike Johnson said he has nothing to do with this dirty tricks operation. Which is interesting because what I reported was that it was linked to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the House Republican Super PAC. The CLF has declined to comment.

Replacing one nazi f**k with a more rabid nazi f**k. Texas is a shithole.

The truth is disappearing from national parks under the Trump-Vance administration. We’re fighting back – and people like Sarah are helping us. Share your national parks story: https://bit.ly/3Rl8aGJ #OurParksOurHistory

The loyalists of the Revolutionary War are the nazi orange moron cult of today.

Last time I checked, the Constitution doesn't allow the president to build his own corrupt billion-dollar slush fund to reward allies and punish perceived opponents with Americans' taxpayer dollars. We at @democracyforward.org will keep showing up in court to hold this administration accountable.

Donald Trump is letting AI deny care for seniors on Medicare. If there's a way to make your life worse and more expensive than it is today, he'll do it. I'm leading the charge to make sure this plan dies the death it deserves.

White American males. Educated by fox news, hateful fascist pundits, and video games. 🤪

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

Last week, we released our fifth report on conditions at private immigration detention centers in California. We’ll continue shining a light on this dark situation & calling on the Trump Admin to make the drastic improvements necessary to address the inhumane treatment of those in these facilities.

Israel is now threatening to sue the New York Times to silence Palestinian victims of systematized Israeli rape. This is a tactic they’ve used before. But this time, it’s not working.

We’re rallying in Montgomery today to show politicians that we won’t let them take away Black voting power without a fight.

Voter approved. Nazis don't care. America is NOT exceptional.

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

1. Major media outlets are credulously reporting that cost of the Iran War was $29 billion so far, citing the Pentagon. This number is absurdly low. It is based on flawed accounting and completely excluding major categories of costs. But it still made all the headlines.

All republican voters are wannabe slave owners. 🖕

Boot slave duty with Anna 🥲

It's May, so let's celebrate "May the 4th Be With You" with Rey, why don't we? It seems she's found the Force is very useful for self-bondage, and being bound is very conducive to..."meditation". This was done for @Elysian_Chaos , who dreamed it up and created the dialogue.

This ruling amounts to a nationwide abortion ban. Mifepristone is safe, full stop. This isn’t about science and protecting women, it’s a calculated plot by Republicans obsessed with controlling the private health care decisions of women in America.

I remember braindead progressives like Sarandon saying in 2016 (Hillary vs the nazi), "They are both the same." 🖕

1. Peter Thiel is pouring millions into a dystopian new start-up that seeks to discredit journalists reporting on wealthy people with a combination of retired intelligence operatives and a "jury" of AI models The company is even trying to pressure reporters to turn over the IDs of anonymous sources

Quake 🤯 3.4 magnitude, 3 miles deep, 6 miles east.

Orange moron voters are nazis.
