Great American State Fair :-/

What if the DC fireworks display is MAGA's Jonestown?

From DC perspective, difficult to convey what a total disaster Trump-pa-looza is turning out to be -Well over 100F in the shade, and rising. -Monumental areas of DC all locked down. -No one at 'State Fair' -Caligula planning to give speech *starting* at 9:45pm. -Fireworks *starting* around 11pm

Fantastic!

By gutting OSHA heat protections, Trump has all but guaranteed that more people will suffer heat-related illnesses and deaths.

I’m reading There Is No Place for Us, by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social and one thing keeps hitting me over and over: Homelessness is rarely a single event. It’s a cascade. A cancer diagnosis. A lost job. Depression. A missed paycheck. A broken car. A wait for mental healthcare. An eviction. 🧵

Thank you! He cares more deeply than any one I have ever spoken to. These vets, active duty military, and people who marched in 100 degree heat in #Philly deeply care. They took care of each other too.

Blue only

The Mother Ukraine statue illuminated in red, white and blue for America’s 250th. Let’s see the love reciprocated.

Here’s my account of the evening: bsky.app/profile/bren...

Mo’s closing statement from the VA-8 forum is a must-watch. While other candidates dodged the word “genocide,” Mo named it. Mo is the only candidate Endorsed by @trackaipac.com Early voting is underway. Don’t wait. Vote for moral courage. Election Day is August 4. 🎞️ @deadliestmusicdmv.

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Anti-Trump protesters marching towards the White House on July 4th, chanting "8647" This is what real patriots look like. 🇺🇸

Freedom = Medicare for All. Universal childcare. No to funding genocide. The next 250 years belong to the working class. Let’s not become the very thing we fought. #GoeithMo

I started driving down to DC (I live in the ‘burbs) the moment I heard PF was there. But yeah, they were gone before I could even get on the Metro. I do know some locals clowned them and tried to ruin their photo op.

Add to this the voluntary installation of a neighborhood surveillance system, aka Amazons Ring cameras, and note that the Orwellian nightmare is here. Free access to the Gestapo, local PD’s and anyone else wiling to pay for the data. Privacy is dead.

A neighbor sent a FOIA request on the flock camera’s that popped up all over our town in the Democratic state of DE. She was sent a cease and desist letter.

Flock cameras are showing up everywhere, and Rick has something to say. Watch The Breakdown on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkulFgNFsaU

These disgusting white supremacist cowards in masks were probably the biggest cry babies when masks were required for COVID.

Come on, storms! You’re looking good to ruin #MangoMussolini ‘s party!! You can do it!

DC today.

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president. “ Teddy Roosevelt

Philly rising! 🇺🇸💙 All Americans from every state should do the same! #Happy250BirthdayUSA

also it’s great how much she struggled to get to the end of this carefully curated talking point to the point she accidentally inverted the intended meaning of it

Raw Story: Numbers don't lie and they're devastating for CBS News & Bari Weiss. Things are getting worse not better, wrote Natalie Korach of Status, because last month "CBS Evening News" hit its lowest-rated June of the entire 21st century in total viewers. 😊 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

MAGA seditionist Tina Peters has been wasting zero time in telling more election lies on propaganda outlets like diseased swastika Steve Bannon’s repugnant program. Fuck disgraceful fraud Jared Polis for granting her clemency and freeing her early. Disgusting.

Now THIS is funny! youtube.com/shorts/RqLa1...

It’s October 28, 2001 & I’m a teen in NJ watching Ray Charles perform America the Beautiful at Yankees Stadium. It’s my formative memory of patriotism. Today, though it may seem impossible, I do believe brighter days are ahead. Happy 250th, America. 🇺🇸 youtu.be/HlHMQEegpFs?...

🙏

Diversity is our strength. It always has been and always will be.

A. People in DC did not know those fascists were planning to march. B. They marched for 15 minutes and then turned tail. C. People in DC would have been out there had they known they would be there. D. Do people know how people in DC (who actually live in the city) roll?

I mean, you gotta be rooting for heat stroke, yeah?

There are currently 11 ICE Air flights in the air, hauling shackled detainees around the US on Independence Day. We know most are not violent criminals, the norms of probable cause have been abandoned, and that many won't be given due process. Live tracking: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-msp/map

For America: 🎂? #MakeAmericaNormalAgain 🇺🇸

This is what happens when you eliminate your DEI policies 🙄

No women were consulted

Super cool. I hope that the United States does better for Ukraine than we have so far. We promised that we would.

Scenes from the We the People 250 March that took place today in Washington, DC on the 4th of July.

Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.

I just want an America where it’s embarrassing to be an ignorant jackass.

Proud to have helped carry this through our occupied capital this grim Fourth of July. It was important not to cede that space entirely to soldiers, police, authoritarian idolators, and the enemies of democracy. We ended up, appropriately enough, at the Archives. Let’s hope for a better 250th…🧵…\1

Ukraine congratulates United States of America with Independence day 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Mother Ukraine monument wears USA colors right now.

True patriots protect their neighbors! 💪💪🐸❤️‍🔥

This July 4th, secure our democracy with an independent way to remove unfit leaders who fancy themselves a king. Push Congress to pass Raskin’s bill.

🌸🏵️🌸🏵️🌸🏵️🌸🏵️🌸🏵️🌸🏵️🌸

What in the Jim Crow is this? Rosa Parks didn’t refuse to give up her seat so white supremacists could take over the whole damn train. This is what America looks like on its 250th birthday when a white nationalist sits in the Oval Office.

This is horrific
