We are not the same

The lawyer who kept Ken Paxton out of jail during his corruption trial and defended him during his impeachment trial has now publicly endorsed Talarico for Senate, stating that Paxton has lost sight of the fact that he is supposed to represent the people of Texas. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/u...

On Meet the Press, Trump is incredibly sweaty, unhinged and insulting. I wish one damn journalist would just say, "I'm sorry, but we're ending this interview now, Mr. President. Your constant attacks on the free press, the rule of law and endless falsehoods are destructive of democracy. Cut."

This is the line HR9109 crosses. Not prosecuting violence, which is already illegal and should be. Branding a belief, and then following the money of everyone suspected of holding it.

Republicans promised prosperity and lower costs. Americans got higher bills, economic uncertainty, and chaos. Now Republicans are trying to rewrite history, but voters know the truth: Republicans promised one thing and delivered another.

"Trump is a stain and a blight on America’s character that each of us carries with us—at home and abroad. White nationalists like Hegseth and JD Vance offend Americans and citizens of the world with equal opportunity vileness and ignorance" open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

After a decade+ of nonstop pollution offenses, GOP Sen. Jim Justice's coal empire learned earlier this year that it was under federal criminal investigation. But before prosecutors could gather crucial evidence, Todd Blanche's office told them "pencils down."

NOT WITH OUR MONEY! I’m proud to stand with Cambridge and Somerville constituents who are demanding that Citizens Bank stop funding the private prison companies that enable Trump’s mass deportation regime and the fascist ICE crackdown. ✊ @boycottcitizens.org @de-icecitizensbank.org

Rocket engine exhaust, as well as the burnup of inactive satellites and rocket parts reentering Earth’s atmosphere, releases a suite of pollutants. New research from @eng.cam.ac.uk & TU Delft looks at just how much. eos.org/research-spo...

Donald Trump. What a disgrace.

Albania Tirana — protesters explain why they don’t want Trump and Kushner to privatize their land. Every day thousands of them hit the streets to make their voices heard.

Most members of the MAGA cult never paid attention to news or politics before Trump. They have no idea what an aberration he is. They simply don’t know that this is not the way public servants behave.

But Mr. President......

Well look at that Trump finally did not lie !!! He forgot to add FELON.

"A generation willing to mobilise for an alternative model of development, one rejecting oligarchic capture & connects environmental protection to democratic legitimacy, shouldn't be feared but celebrated. Albania could teach [Europe] a lesson in self-respect." Inspiring from @leaypi.bsky.social!

NEW: The Right to Record Act was just introduced in Congress, which would allow people to sue federal agents who violate our First Amendment right to record their actions in public. This bill is essential to protecting our ability to hold our government accountable.

It’s Monday morning, we could all probably use a corgi, right?

Protesters from UltraViolet Action set up outside Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to call for Apple to take child sexual abuse imagery more seriously. Their flyers ask for the removal of Grok, X, and other nudify technology as well as to crack down on child sexual abuse material in iCloud.

The White House octagon sounds like something a screenwriter cuts for being too unrealistic.

I know what those treasonous fucks are all about. Many of them were probably at the Capitol on January 6th. They need to be classified as a terrorist organization and shut the hell down.

This is Completely Unacceptable! You know what to do New Yorkers….

Every American should watch this interview between two very well respected journalists. And after you watch it, you tell me with a straight face that what’s happening in the U.S. isn’t frightening. youtu.be/ePqdmbgQ4BI?...

The truth will always out.

Don’t forget that Bongino saw the files too.

7 pardoned insurrectionists have faced other criminal charges since January 6, 2021. 19 have offended since Trump’s pardon. The public safety risk posed by Trump's pardon is not something we should take lightly. The sexual abuse of children figures prominently among their crimes, unsurprisingly.

A protest sign can say more in seven words than a hundred political speeches. When the name most associated with elite impunity follows a politician across borders, the issue is no longer diplomacy or image management. It becomes a question of accountability.
