Trump: "Terrible tyrants, they came and they went"

Awkward. Also, estimating crowd size isn't one of their strengths.

Is this good?

On the bright side it is windy as hell all of the sudden and there are many menacing clouds and perhaps we will all be struck by lightning

Do not forget his heroism. He needs funds for his defense. There is only ONE source for that. Please donate. Legal fees add up. spot.fund/j4xfnxqsc

A national guardsman addresses the crowd. "The only gate that's open is way the shit down there!!" he says. We are near the main entrance and we can all see that it's dark and barred Chants of "let us in!!" People are furious

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

Just when I think they can’t get any stupider.

Oh brother. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The image of the day.

No, you are lying about what happened in the Six-Day War, because facts don't matter to you. Only your sheer hatred of all Jews does. So kindly fuck off. Or not kindly. Doesn't matter to me.

The irony of Wajahat Ali saying this about a Maine senate seat two years after he participated in the Uncommitted campaign to cripple the Democratic nominee for president.

He was part of the uncommitted until the very last few months when suddenly he was pretending to want Kamala elected bc he was running scared He was trashing Kamala and Biden left & right & spreading antisemitic garbage propaganda of Islamists but thought 5 min of pretending to care made it all ok

ICE flights. Saturday, July 4, 2026. At least 85 flights on 28 planes. At least 12 removal flights, 6 to Mexico alone. One year ago today, ICE sent 8 men to South Sudan. Only 3 have been released. Still jailed: Enrique Arias-Hierro, Kyaw Mya, Nyo Myint, Thongxay Nilakout & José Rodriguez-Quiñones.

A Real President

I expected Trump’s 4th of July thing to be a disaster but only a moderate, normal sized disaster. I didn’t expect screaming crowds, evacuations, and “Antifa changed the weather!” level disaster. It’s like the Keystone Cops and the Nazis had a baby. Benny Hill meets Mussolini.

I can’t find a link on BlueSky, but I would encourage everyone to listen to Obama’s Fourth of July remarks from today. Then, compare them to the absolute bile you’re going to hear from Trump tonight. Our government doesn’t have to be a walking clown show. Vote accordingly.

One of the most underrated aspects of JAWS is that the mayor is one of the most accurate portrayals of politicians in film.

On July 4th, remember this: ICE is one of the most unconstitutional, anti-American forces to operate in the USA in our lifetime. We built PAXIS.app to help people fight back lawfully, constitutionally: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS Help us get it into the hands of every immigrant, every ally.

Baby got back

Cabo Verde made their fans very proud tonight. So inspiring...🫶 What an amazing run in this World Cup. ⚽️🇨🇻

This image from the  Cape Verde celebration tying goal against  Argentina will stay engraved in my brain. Dude had just scored the goal of his life and his first act was to run to find his woman in the stands. ❤️🇨🇻

Trump's birthday parade, Trump's Reflection Pool renovations, Trump's concert series, Trump's July Fourth state fair, Trump's July Fourth parade... all failures. It's as though the National Mall is a Bermuda Triangle for the narcissistic projects of a dictator. Uncanny pattern.

With inflation continuing to rise, lots of Americans are looking at side hustles to stay afloat — like getting their father to give them billion dollar mining contracts in Kazakhstan.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences..."

Happy Independence Day, y'all. "...He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

new metaphor just dropped

What the president of the US is posting in the middle of the night on the country’s 250th birthday.👇 But President Biden had a bad debate and VP Harris laughed too much and made a few appearances with Liz Cheney, so 🤷🏻‍♀️. 😒

Yaaaaas.

Air Force Major Jason Watson An ACTUAL PATRIOT.

Fugitive slaves were literally not accused of a crime, this was a rather important point in the 1850s.

The magical world of MAGA BS propaganda. Oh don't forget stopping the Iran war & opening the Strait of Hormuz 38 times.

MS NOW put together a supercut of Lutnick, Bessent, and Hassett continually moving the goalposts and always saying that some future quarter will have spectacular economic growth

Remember when Hillary Clinton had a cough while campaigning in 2016 and the right suggested that she might be dying?

He creates his own reality & expects us to believe it. The FELON's FANTASY: Meanwhile, back on EARTH 1:

Perhaps if his kids owned a ballot printing company, Trump would stop attacking voting by mail.

And there it is: With just hours remaining until deadline to release more Epstein Files under lawsuit filed by @KatiePhang — Justice Dept asks judge for two-month delay, claiming it risks revealing victims’ identities.. … (which the Trump Admin has already done)

Jack Smith on MS NOW: "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."   "I think the state attorney generals have a tremendous role to play here … And I would also say that I think a thing that all of us can do is support election workers and election officials."

DAMN‼️Even former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb thinks the #TrumpRepublicanCorruption is off the charts. “We are seeing the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history of mankind,” says Cobb about Trump’s second term. Just pure insanity that his enablers allow this!

Important win.

The fun part of this story is that no one laughed. JD thought he was making a cute joke and was met with dead silence.
