YES half of us are functionally illiterate - thank the GOP for that - their No Child Left Behind deliberately leaves EVERY Child behind - it was the last nail in the GOP-Built coffin of deep literacy Literacy builds critical analysis skills - If you can't read you can't think

Hard work used to mean something: you work hard, you got ahead. Now, it feels like your hard work is paying off for someone else. Families can't afford groceries, prescriptions, or housing. I’m fighting to change that by putting money back in your pockets.

Bernie Sanders nails it.

Lest we forget: Obama secured the Iran deal without starting a war, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, or losing a single American life. But please, tell me more about how “toughness” requires body bags.

My friend @heatherwhaley.bsky.social is on here everyone so could you please shower her with attention?

“If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face…while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his…impeachment.” @jojofromjerz.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/jojo... bsky.app/profile/paul...

The once-accepted “universal truth” that the US military could not be defeated has been revealed as a thoroughly embarrassing myth by Trump’s ill-fated war against Iran, as we are being foiled by drones, speedboats and an enemy willing to wait us out

So maybe “Coach” doesn’t know what Memorial Day is and would rather give criminals who beat police and attacked the US Capitol a billion dollars of your hard earned money. Most might say this is unbelievable…..

A US-born woman born was confronted by sheriff deputies in Louisiana who were convinced her ID and social security card were fakes. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff says they did no wrong

The idea of a “face” of a movement is fine except people want the faces of people who have no interest in protecting them.

Straight up racism and fascism here. If you think you're safe- think again. Citizenship won't protect you if the Nazis don't like you.

The parallels are striking #Pinks

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

JoAnna Mendoza, Democrat running in Arizona's 6th congressional district, is ready to flip the seat in midterms. I just donated to her campaign. If you can, please donate too, so we can say good riddance to Ciscomani.

Something something broken clock right twice a day.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

Cousin Mary would know. To hell with Don Jr. and his dumbass wedding. Toasting to his inevitable next divorce. 🥂

#Shooter at WH was known to security as #mentally #ill, was #far from the WH, had claimed to be #Jesus. Yet still got a #gun and managed death by cop. NOT an assassination attempt. Not even political. Mentally ill man with gun.

I have been saying for years that Democrats should run against Republicans on the issue of corruption. Make fighting corruption the centerpiece of their hopefully populist campaigns. Well, if they don’t run on corruption this year, against Trump, then they deserve to lose.

😎🪴🌵 we want #EpsteinFiles names

No One be Surprised! Read the Response….

Awesome- please stay away. Don't come to this fascist shithole and risk arrest by ICE. Tickets, transportation, accomodation- all insanely over oriced as well. Watch the matches safely at home- or in Mexico and Canada.

The fake assassination attempts will continue until the poll numbers improve, huh? 🤣

My friend Robbie went missing in action in Vietnam on October 12, 1972. His body has never been recovered. I think of him every Memorial Day — and what he died fighting for.

Boycott FIFA in the United States. Watch it in Canada or Mexico if you want, but stay away from the US.

Jawohl.

Anyone else just going to skip all July 4/250 celebrations, large & small, this year? I will go to any and all ethnic festival & art festival, but I cannot celebrate the slow death* of my country at the hands of stupid, corrupt pieces of shit. *Which we can reverse if voters stop being idiots.

Obama had 11 attempts on his life. Biden had 5 attempts on his life. Bet you never heard of them. Because MSM never reported on them. Why? The WH asked for them not to, so not to invite copycat scenarios. Trump promotes them.

Just put a 📌 on this for future reference. Trump is cliche. Assassination attempts used to stay in power, Authoritarian leaders often adopt an "ideology of victimization," positioning themselves as the target of enemies, to gain sympathy and justify repressive actions. Stop listening to fascists

Kudos to the #NAACP for asking black athletes and their parents not to send their athletes to Red State universities. Now tell the NFL players union to do the same to the #Superbowl in Jim Crow state, Tennessee!

The day after Colbert’s final show, CBS Radio News signs off as well. The news program that became famous as Edward R. Murrow reported live from London rooftops during the Blitz, now silenced. Good night, and good luck. And Fvck you CBS.

Water this dirty should never be treated like a secret. Texans have the right to speak up when something looks wrong in their community without fearing intimidation or arrest. We need clean water, transparency, and leaders willing to stand with people over the Greedy Few.

“America has always been like this” responses to “Orange Man Bad” posts annoy me. Obama didn’t post a video of him dumping his own fecal matter from a F-18 on his critics, then threaten to go to war with Denmark. That isn’t true.

“There is no grey zone. You either stand with freedom or with aggression. If we stop supporting Ukraine, we are effectively supporting Russia.” — Kaja Kallas Simple as that...🤷‍♀️

So Many Politicians, From Both Parties,Are FILTHY Rich.......

Arizona AG rips Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap, a known election denier, over his handling of alleged non-citizen voters he claims he found. “At this point, your insistence that you are following the law is wrong at best and purposefully misleading at worst,” writes AG's chief counsel.

Reichwing oligarchs now control majority of mass media. 1/3 of people live in red bubble, insulated from reality, cheering own oppression bcuz people they hate are also hurt. 1/3 don't give a fuck, are happily ignorant, apathetic. 1/3 do care, see dark future. We can't vote our way out of it. So?

A gentle reminder

People becoming homeless, foregoing healthcare, going hungry, libraries under attack, already tattered social safety net shredded and donny, his allies are stealing billions from country & enriching themselves w/insider trading. It's treated as normal, cheered by MAGA. But when, how do WE fight it?

It's not a national security issue if the person elected as President can't go more than 3 weeks without an assasination attempt. That's a personal issue.

“Shots fired” won’t be newsworthy again until there’s a very specific outcome.

FUN FACT: No one has committed more assassination attempts against Donald Trump than Donald Trump.

Skipping your son’s wedding to attend a staged assassination, attempt certainly is a choice.

If Joe had prosecuted donny (and others ) after Jan 6, we wouldn't be in this shit show. Love ya Joe- but you're 5 years too late.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
