Maybe these few days will be a wake up call to comfortably off Americans. Over 40 million of your neighbors use SNAP. That’s disabled, seniors , kids; but also adults who have jobs that don’t pay enough to live on💡

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

This is a truly great piece of writing. Please, please read it and share widely

At what point when you’re paying troops with your own private money do they not just become mercenaries

We appear to have 2 possible roads ahead. 1) win back the House and Senate and impeach the President 2) get everyone protesting

People in historic homes can't even paint without approval, but this guy can demolish part of a historical, government owned building that he is temporarily living in?!? WTH? #ProudBlue

🚨 I do not know when or where, but it doesn’t matter. This is depravity. This is a child. Those are state employed monsters. There is nothing normal about being “okay” with doing this job. 1/2

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

For your Tuesday We Lived Happily During the War ~ ILYA KAMINSKY —And when they bombed other people's houses, we protested but not enough, we opposed them but not enough.

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Americans living abroad cannot use ActBlue to donate to political candidates, unless we do so while in the US. That’s discrimination. We care as much about our country as anyone else #DNC #democratsabroad

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids. DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members. Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Today we returned to Vancouver Island, Canada, from the US. I can confirm that Canadian car plates were still a small minority; and the queue for the ferry from VI to the States was very small with overwhelmingly WA plates. Canadians are buying Canadian and reluctant to visit.

I live in one of the most multicultural areas of the UK and there is rarely a day where I'm not positively impacted by that - whether it's delicious food, really good local businesses or my incredibly kind neighbours. I'm not saying this as a political statement, more just a reality of my life.

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

JUST IN: Every boo that followed Vance and Hegseth at Union Station was earned. You send troops into American streets, you lose the right to walk them without shame.

A year ago I did not think most Americans would have to know to say “Am I free to go?” if approached by someone in a mask. And, if not, to say nothing except “ I will only speak with a lawyer”. Enough is enough. This is America, the land of the FREE.

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Harvard is considering paying $500 million to end the vendetta against them. This should remind us all once again that the administration is openly running a protection racket. “Nice university you got here. Shame if something happened to it…”

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Goodness, gracious. This piece is among the best I’ve read in awhile. Great work @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com.

In case you want a reality check: there are moms with neurodivergent kids on Reddit whose husbands have self-deported rather than be sent to a camp, or whose husbands have been deported by ICE, and the kids are falling apart. It is the most heartbreaking shit I have read in a really long time.

Date night

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The bus is pulling up now. Will send footage ASAP. Organizers on site have low battery so we just used Instacart to send them a battery, cord, and some waters. Once they are charged they will go live. Please keep boosting. ❤️‍🩹

I am inviting you to read this piece, written by a genderfluid family member of mine. Genderfluid not because of a ‘fad’ or because they are ‘criminal’. Biologically, they are on the cusp. They are also one of the nicest, funniest and talented people I know. Please read: substack.com/@lettersfrom...

So the DNC asking David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta to run for reelection. I understand this is procedural. I appreciate Mr Hogg has conflicts of interest. But Lord above, do you want to alienate an entire generation already feeling Dems are a gerontocracy?

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

It is really tough to listen to Mark Carney’s victory speech and to hear him flatly speak of American ‘betrayal’. He’s right. Betrayal of our allies, of people in need, of our history, of US research, of our Constitution and even of a 4 yr old with cancer. Are there no depths to this treachery?

“It’s quite simple,” Leavitt said ... “Obey the law, respect the law, and don’t obstruct federal immigration officials and law enforcement officials when they are simply trying to remove public safety threats from our nation’s communities.’ Threats like 4 yr old US citizens with cancer.

I woke this morning to a letter from BC education supporting us, as parents, to help our kids and others process the horrible events at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver. Places still exist where obligatory thoughts and prayers are not seen to be enough. Thanks BC.

If you don’t speak French, the commentator is saying that the closing of research programs in the US is a world tragedy and the EU must make every effort to support US colleagues and hire when possible. Worth noting: Vance went to an Ivy League university. www.instagram.com/reel/DHeJvMI...

At this moment, the presence of adults in the room is one of the very few guardrails left. Presumably this is why Trump is seeking to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell. I hope business leaders are strongly conveying their confidence in him to the WH. But it’s a lot to hope for. #FedChair #economy

My 17 year old’s laptop cord. Knotted, it only just runs between the plug and the machine. However, as it does, he sees no reason to unknot it.

Straight talk from a Japanese representative about the Trump tariffs. Listen to what he says!! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Both Trump and Musk are psychopathic, cruel, sadistic and heartless.

I reread ‘Ozymandias’ by Shelley today, a poem on the impermanence of everything, and it filled me with hope. We are hurtling into illiberalism, violence and darkness. But it won’t last. It won’t last. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46565/...
