Sadly relevant today.

Bernie's Correct ! Corporate Greed Is Stealing Workers Wages......

"We blow up ‘alleged’ drug boats in the Caribbean but pardon actually convicted drug traffickers in the U.S. Someone help me make sense of this.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...

I have the highest respect for Afghans who helped Americans during the war. Ask any soldier who served with them how valuable they were to the mission? Look, even Trump thought so. But now he is desperate to blame Biden and punish all these great people for the actions of one. Don't let him.

On Native American Heritage Day, California celebrates the strength, survivance, and leadership of the first people of this land. May today inspire us to embrace these values as we collectively face the challenges of our time.

I still wonder how trump’s been able to get loans after his bankruptcies? Is he beholden to Putin?

#Pinks #ProudBlue The trump regime approved asylum for the Afghan shooter on April 23 2025. Patel, Pirro and the rest of the White House under trump are lying and trying to shift blame like always. www.reuters.com/world/us/off...

The truth comes out.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair. Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority. We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

Absofuckinglutely 💯.......

We know the Predator-President plays by his own set of rules and drastic measures need to be taken. I can’t imagine what our country will look like a year from now. A word from Gov. Newsome. #Pinks #SheShed

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit. Elite capitulation continues. Read all about it here: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator. I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

F*CK TRUMP. Following illegal orders is, and has always been a crime. Following orders is not a defense (ref. Nuremberg trials).

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words: “Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.” That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

youtu.be/vIgU28b7hfU #ihipnews Musk briefly revealed that major MAGA “America First” accounts are actually run from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, and Nigeria. He shut it off, but it confirmed MAGA’s online support is heavily driven by foreign troll farms. Jennifer Welch | IHIP News

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

Pretty sure these hyper-elaborate skincare routines are scams (and bad for the environment). Also: telling women they need to spend this much time and money on skincare is bad for their career growth and for feminism. 🧪👩🏻‍🔬

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

WTF? Seriously?

Increasingly, the polluted heart of the climate crisis appears to be Donald Trump.

Kristie Noem has been embezzling funds to a company that she owns. This is Criminal and will be dealt with in the future.

He’s never set food in a grocery store as a customer, has he.

#Trump is a convicted criminal. The Trump administration is a criminal organization. This is a transparently corrupt, impeachable offense. When #Trump is removed from office his actions and entire executive legacy must be expunged from the government. #ImpeachTrump #Resist This is TREASON

Imagine. A society that wants their people voting.. UNLIKE OURS

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage that previously stated "Vaccines do not cause autism" has been changed to cast doubt on the scientific research that supports the finding. n.pr/4oiyHPO

Gavin #Newsom: “The President of the United States of America just called for the death of Democratic lawmakers— This man is sick in the head.”

It’s ingrained and indoctrinated on US military members not to follow Unlawful orders. Trump never has taken his oath seriously, he will never understand this.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve. No contract? NO COFFEE!

Thank for including me Hopeful! We are stronger together!

Sabertooths lasted almost 20 million years. So why aren’t they still here? A new study suggests their extinction may be tied to something surprisingly simple: the slow decline of the prey they relied on. 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/M6S6gP0
