This book was amazing. #BookSky

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. The prosecutors who brought this case work for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi. Not only should we doubt the legitimacy of the case, we should presume it is illegitimate.

ICE’s arsenal is exploding 💥 — weapons spending is up 700% this year, including chemical agents and guided missile parts. More guns. More violence. More danger. popular.info/p/ice-boosts... #BlueSky #NewsSky

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

WAKE UP PEOPLE !!!

The Department of Homeland Security just spent over $170M in taxpayer funds to buy Kristi Noem two luxury Gulfstream jets. Meanwhile, Trump's shutdown is threatening the paychecks and SNAP benefits of millions of Americans. "New Golden Age" for who?

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

FUCK TRUMP!

Can’t say I’ve seen too many palm trees here in Illinois. Maybe in the President’s home state of Florida though.

For once, I'm with the majority. 🏳️‍🌈

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.” The cuts: 📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage) 📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage) 📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage) 📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it. But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Gas utility bills are rising even though natural gas prices are down. That's because a much larger share of your gas bill now goes to infrastructure instead of fuel.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Historically if state media sides with you it means that you’re not a resistance movement, so No Kings is likely being effective if state media isn’t giving them a fair shake

Six years into forever-Covid, the evidence is unequivocal Cvirus is an airborne, disabling, neuroinvasive vascular disease that can damage immunity, blood vessels & organs, increasing their risk of heart failure, diabetes & cognitive, behavioural & psychiatric disorders. And there’s no cure

Yes because of the Epstein files discharge petition, but also because Johnson and the rest of the GOP are going to try to overturn the elections of Democratic House members during the midterms, especially in more competitive seats. Laying the groundwork for that.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

I was honored and humbled to join HRC Minnesota last night for their annual dinner. I am so proud to be a part of a state and an administration that is clear that we will not stop fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. It’s not a political calculus, it’s a moral one.

"We are complicit in--" Gonna stop you there. Perhaps the average citizen is so atomized and disconnected that they actually have precisely zero power to change what the President does. By. Design.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

AWS outages are interesting because each time it affects more and more disparate things, each is a snapshot scan of the metastatic cancer infecting the internet.

Today is National Law Day & lawyers & judges across the country are coming together to reaffirm our oath to the Constitution & the rule of law. Our oath matters more than ever. Let’s stand together. www.americanbar.org/groups/publi...

We won't be silenced. Detaining workers without due process is an attack on EVERY SINGLE PERSON LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY! #MayDay

Till the day I die.

Firm, but fair.

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

Eliminating red dye in processed foods is not going to do much to improve the health of children. Why? Food deserts. Poverty. Homelessness. Lack of healthcare. Widespread COVID A healthy diet is a privilege not afforded to everyone. Tackle inequality first if you want to create a healthy society.
