i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

Bears repeating that he is threatening Iran over something that wasn’t a problem until he bombed Iran. In this sense it’s very much like many other problems he’s promised to “fix” bsky.app/profile/pale...

Ron Johnson wants the Supreme Court to follow the Constitution except when he doesn't like what the Constitution says.

25th please. Now.

Imagine having to pretend that a piece of shit like Trump knows what he’s doing. Couldn’t be me.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last five decades, but he's doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.

Congrats to Donald Trump for having the largest US protest in history comprised solely of people who hate his fucking guts.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

America literally refuses to learn any lessons from its many foreign policy disasters in the Middle East. It's actually remarkable. The same stable of neocon warhawks, Christian nationalists, and Islamophobes - who exist within "liberal" circles as well - still parrot the same talking points.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?" Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

They didn’t “lift” Americans off of food stamps. They kicked people off food stamps.

The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already. Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.

Fantastic and alarming article by David Rothkopf. We are no longer a democracy, and haven’t been one for years. It’s time to eat the rich.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

This NY Times video breaks down the reckless incompetence of ICE, the ICE Agent’s murder of Renee Nicole Good, the cruelty of ICE in the immediate aftermath, and the blatant lies of the Trump Administration. Make sure everyone sees. Split into 2 parts in order to fit on Bluesky. Part 2:

The next Democratic administration should expand the court. There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...

I guarantee no member of the National Guard would have been killed if the National Guard hadn't been idiotically deployed to American cities to make a Very Special Boy finally feel like a Big Army Man

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

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

same way they oppose abortion but say "my body my choice" about vaccination. its not about a coherent ideology. its just about owning the libs. if you try to make it make sense youll go mad.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Voting is underway in New Jersey. This is a close race, and a MUST WIN for us. A loss would enable Trump and his GOP sycophants. If you are nearby, please set aside a day to knock doors and get out our vote. If not, please phone bank or donate.

Damn!!!! Those are some beautiful sights! #NoKings

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?

Stress-Free Eric Adams Spends Day Bribing Pigeons In Central Park

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The stupidity part is this new eugenics bros ending vaccines to “cull the weak” — but that’s not what happens. People don’t just die. They are maimed, disfigured, disabled, disadvantaged for life by totally preventable diseases that no one ever needs to have. Having them does not make you stronger.

"When the rich rob the poor, the rich call it 'business'. When the poor fight back, the rich call it 'violence'." Mark Twain

Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

More name changes afoot… Department of Defense = Department of War Department of Education = Department of Keeping You Stupid Center for Disease Control = Center for Crackpot Conspiracies Department of Agriculture = Department of Subsidies for Farmers going broke from tariffs

One can dream…

It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.

Behold. The festering carcasses of American rot all shoved into ill-fitting suits.

Yes, a movement is spreading of towns and counties passing "resolutions of condemnation" of Trump for his abandonment of the Constitutional order and other "injuries," "abuses," and "usurpations." More than 60 resolutions are moving in 20 states. Ones in NM and MA have passed. Learn more 👇

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Donald Trump has immunity for all of the crimes he committed while president. Barack Obama does not. by Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas

Reposting this from a fellow teacher: "With the passing of Trump's awful bill the hope of federal loan forgiveness after teaching for a decade at a public university has been taken off the table. So has the possibility of full discharge after 25 years...
