This person blocks me. I wonder if it is a mistake or if it is somebody who I would prefer not to be connected with. I know it's easy to make a mistake on blocking. @kissane.myatproto.social

Hey, friends who keep your eyes open! I saw a very funny photo-image of the post-Zelensky meeting, where all the world leaders were standing there holding their noses while #47 pointed his finger. Does anybody know where that image came from or exists. I've searched for it, but I can't find it!

Avui he acabat aquesta obra d'art de na @bonniejo.bsky.social i @dirtyworks.bsky.social Un llibre brutal amb 14 contes ambientats al Michigan més rural.

Hi friends! Is there some internet censorship going on? Last night I found a heap of fun Gavin Newsome parody stuff, and now it seems to be gone. Maybe when we see these we need to recopy them fast so we can repost them. Does anybody know of a good site where they're all collected?

#TaxTheBillionaires Billionaires need to pay their fair share of taxes! They can absolutely afford it AND we pay more taxes than they do! Outrageous! #Pinks #ProudBlue

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

Interesting@ When somebody blocks you, you get notified--I wish it didn't have to be that way. And I do wonder why Chrisworcs blocked me.

Onward with Patriotism! American Democracy--it's what makes us great!

Keep contacting Senators! They plan to vote on their "everyone's going to die bill" on Wednesday. #StopTheBillionaireBailoutBill #DontKillOurMedicaid 5calls.or @Resistbot #WeAreDemocracy #uSDemocracy #DemVoice1 #voices4Victory

Hey West Michigan folks. I can't wait for Saturday, July 12! Bestselling author Josh Malerman and I will be chatting at the Grand Rapids library. Join us! www.experiencegr.com/event/michig....

I'm going all patriotic!

Anybody else get followed by this new political party? The vibe creeps me, so I blocked. Anybody know any differently?

Tens of thousands of people march through the Loop Saturday as part of the nationwide No Kings protest. Half a dozen other marches are taking place in Chicago suburbs.

Pussy Riot joined the 'No Kings' Day protest in Los Angeles, sharing a message on a banner that read, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Russia.” www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

A document circulated to members of Congress from Secretary Kennedy misinterprets studies and cites debunked research. This dangerous misinformation could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety which will harm public health. www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

This Native American woman really let the border patrol have it 👍🫡 Respect ‼️

My statement on Israel's operation against Iran:

The truth about President Trump's tax plan. The parts of President Trump's tax plan that benefit the most wealthy are permanent, and the parts that benefit working and middle class families expire.

There is no justification for the aggressive behavior displayed today toward Senator Padilla. This is a U.S. Senator. In a federal building. In his own state, doing his job. If they can handle a Senator like this, they can do this to anybody. It is an authoritarian response.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

At this point, I'm honestly shocked that Trump didn't attempt to have the FBI arrest the French Revolutionaries in last night's performance of Le Mis.

🧵 We need to make this clear: Americans are not opposed to immigration enforcement — we are opposed to UNCONSTITUTIONAL ENFORCEMENT that violates due process and the rule of law.

Yes it’s called PROPAGANDA. It’s everywhere these days.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

Getting your ducks (or chickens) in a row before you contact your elected official or before you speak out at a town hall about the Dirty Rotten Bill. bonniejocampbell.substack.com/p/the-big-um...

Stay strong, stay united, Democratic governors!

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

Corruption is the subject of my plain language substack. If anyone wants to write to an elected official about corruption in the Trump Administration to suggest they should get on with the checks and balances, please feel free to borrow any of my language. bonniecamp.substack.com/p/on-corrupt...
