Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

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.

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

We are so fucked. I mean, we already were, but now even more so.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases. Capital letters went in the upper case. Smaller letters went in the lower case. This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’ Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press? MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

indeed Frog gets it - go frog!

the latest effort to try to find the switch to turn off liberalism (also these people hate the idea of a free society)

I'm completely for people getting the mental health care they need & for building supports for people recovering from addiction, facing homelessness, etc. But anyone who knows anything about America's history with institutionalization can't support Trump's idea. It would absolutely be weaponized.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Using American cities as training for war in other countries? Horrifying. Any service member who receives these orders is obligated to disobey.

Listen up, Democrats!

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Trump donor Larry Ellison’s Oracle will oversee TikTok’s algorithm. His media company owns CBS News and is plotting a bid for Warner Bros., which owns CNN. When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Am I the only one getting annoyed with posts saying autism was 1st diagnosed in 1943? Autism has ALWAYS existed. There are records of people with autistic traits throughout history. Citing 1943 makes it seem like it started then. It didn't. (100% agrees it's not caused by Tylenol, though.)

This is what actual freedom of speech looks like — join in www.nokings.org

What a timely interview.

The hypocrisy from Trump's FCC Chair is staggering but unsurprising. It should be clear by now that to MAGA, protecting freedom of speech was always secondary to wielding the power to punish anyone who questions this regime.

Billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk owns X. Billionaire Trump ally Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post. With this acquisition, both CNN and CBS News would be owned by billionaire Trump donor Larry Ellison. Oligarchs’ monopoly over our media is spiraling out of control.

I got my flu & COVID vaccines this morning. Yay science! Suck it, JFK Jr. #VaccinesSaveLives #VaccinesWork #ProVaxx

I really think this is another statement about how he hates autistic people. Studies have found a correlation between autism & differences in mitochondrial function. The full quote also mentions inflammation, which is another theory about the cause of autism...

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Reminder that Trump unleashing federal troops across D.C. isn't meant to address any actual concerns about crime. It's a show of force. It’s important to see this and L.A. as trial runs for a possible military occupation elsewhere in the United States.

🤡🤡🤡 "That is specifically at the request of the president, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here when something is painted black it gets even warmer" - Kristi Noem "U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks... said the paint would also help deter rust." www.cbsnews.com/news/dhs-sec...

Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion. The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds. We must not become numb to this.

And to distract from the Epstein Files.

While the nation has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies. Why? He wants more power — and he wants to distract from his unpopular agenda. It should be clear that America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

I'm a pretty entrenched MD suburbanite now, but I lived in DC for many years and worked downtown for about 20. I'm LIVID about Trump's takeover of my city.

Two things can be true: 1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; & 2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.

This explains the MAGA crowd.

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio at S&P 500 companies last year was 285-to-1. The median employee would have had to start working in the year 1740 to earn what the average CEO received in 2024. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Thanks to Trump's cuts, seasonal employees at Yosemite worked for as long as six weeks without pay. The National Park Service is one of our most popular government agencies. It's being gutted to fund enormously unpopular tax cuts for the super-rich.

Me every time I need to scrub the shower or change the sheets (not *actually* seven months, but far too long considering they're very short tasks)

What. The. Fuck.

Exactly This…

This is a recipe for disaster for the spread of the flu, COVID, measles, etc. This disregards the health of the entire community as disease will spread more freely to teachers & between students & then to their families. share.google/XXuv3AfvJLIK...

Good morning✌️🍀

Once again: What the fuck???

I always think it's funny when emoji that have a specific meaning in Japan get misused by Americans. For example ♨️ is a common Japanese symbol for a hot spring public bath (onsen). The other day I got an email about a sale that used ♨️ instead of 🔥 in the subject line.

The Justice Department is recommending just one day in prison for a Louisville police officer convicted in connection with the raid that killed Breonna Taylor.

It’s ok to change your mind when you realize you were wrong.

Calvin & Hobbes because... Calvin is naughty? Because you see his little kid butt sometimes in a 100% non-sexualized way? I'm totally baffled.

Post a kick-ass woman!
