Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

I knew it!

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Here are my top 10 fall dogs!

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

Probably the best analysis of the Kirk shooting I’ve heard so far. From Mark Kenny on ABC Insiders this morning.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Oh dear. Not a Democrat. Not a migrant. Not transgender. Tyler Robinson is a white guy from a Republican family. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The FDA warns public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination a radioactive isotope

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

👏👏👏👏

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

This is A+ trolling

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

NEW: An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. By Lexi Churchill and @emsimani.bsky.social

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

This girl explains clearly what is happening in Immigration court. Those judges are controlled by Pam Bondi and that's why they are helping ICE to pick up people in court when they come for their Immigration hearing. What we can do to help them. Zoom court hearings! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYHh...

This is Bella. She's thinking about this morning when she could have eaten the pizza crust on the sidewalk but didn't. Was a good girl, but good for who? 13/10 (IG: buddy_bella_birdie)

Can we get back to this please

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

As long as I live, I’ll never forget seeing wheelchair users zip tied for protesting…

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

This is Nugget. He has the teefiest teef we have ever seen. And we know the bottom six inches of furniture hates to see him coming. 12/10

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

“The US was in no immediate danger, nor was there any imminent threat, existential or otherwise, to its interests vis-à-vis Tehran. Yet Trump, having had the poison of persuasion poured into his ear by Netanyahu, had succumbed.” theaimn.net/directive-to...

While the country braces for the possibility of attacks from Iranian sleeper cells, we can all rest easy knowing that Trump’s put this 22 year old former part-time grocery clerk and landscaper, in charge of terrorism prevention. He’s got zero experience. NEVER worked in counter-terrorism. SMDH

This statement by Iranian, Kurdish, and Afghani feminists argues that we must oppose the US and Israeli assault on Iran while also refusing to endorse the repressive Iranian government. Genocidal imperialist projects will never liberate us, nor will patriarchal nationalist regimes protect us.

He is now begging the Chinese to ask Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz. Also was warned of Iranian sleeper cells in advance of a bombing so well flagged that Iran moved its stocks of uranium and staff weeks ago. All because nobody went to his birthday party 👶

ANY QUESTIONS?! Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless… Understand what's going on here. ~ R. Reich

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Take note.

1. Global trade wars 2. Political assassinations on US soil 3. Masked thugs arresting and disappearing people 4. Starts WW3 when Israel orders it 5. Stock market meltdown 6. Make Asbestos great again 7. Lardo Gaza on track Seems like voting for hate and racism is going well?

“Is this the politics of playground children?” “We’ve got the most incredible weapons in the hands of absolute idiots.” Caller Roger doesn’t hold back in his reaction to US strikes on Iran.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."
