Saddam didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, but American gun manufacturers do. They get used just about daily.

REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."

Trump’s Golden Age.

Thou shalt not start a war to distract everyone so you can continue to protect billionaire pedophiles.

To be clear, billions of our tax dollars are going to bailout the same farmers who overwhelmingly voted to harm themselves and their own livelihoods.

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

December 🔟 is International Animal Rights Day 🌎 🐾 This day is to raise awareness about the importance of animal rights and advocates for animals’ ethical and humane treatment. Learn more here 🔗

This is nothing short of mandatory right wing indoctrination at Texas high schools & colleges. Wow.

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza. Learn her name. This young woman who escaped a Honduran city overrun by gang violence at age 7, a productive member of our society with a bright future ahead, is who Trump is wasting our tax $ to deport. Cruel. And also stupid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When Trump goes on racist fascistic tirades against Somalian-Americans and Hegseth celebrates the regime's extrajudicial killing spree in Caribbean waters, we have a choice to make: A) Let it go B) RESIST If you choose B, JOIN US SUNDAY 3 - 4 CORNER OF BLOOMFIELD AVE & CHURCH ST, MONTCLAIR

It’s all so exhausting but stay engaged even when the news feels like a migraine wearing a trench coat. Authoritarianism counts on exhaustion. Democracy depends on very boring persistence.

I do not work for the shelter. Just been sharing MELIA for awhile now. The shelter does post videos on Facebook, Instagram and X. It's under "Adopt MELIA & Friends". I only have Bluesky. I post videos as I receive them. Check her out below. 💗 ☎️ 516.785.5220 ⬇️⬇️ www.threads.com/@adopt_melia...

An additional 500 National Guard members have arrived in Washington, D.C., bringing the total deployment to 2,750 troops, according to the National Guard and bringing the cost to taxpayers to roughly $1.6 million per day.

ICE detained a US citizen who was originally from Somalia. They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab. She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab” She was held for 24 hours. A US citizen. No one is safe.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
