Imagine being this proud of being this embarrassing😅 #maga #trumprally #cult #wow #foryou

Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

Put this on your required reading for the day. It won't take long, and it's well worth it. Disillusioned with America? Good. substack.com/@tadstoermer...

Her voice doesn't even shake....courage.

Wow

This is the reason behind the Trump administration’s intense desire to ban Talarico content. If they lose the evangelicals, they lose all their power.

If Pam Bondi was a waitress.

Never been prouder of my Kiwi roots.

Made them take it literally. Put the actual DJT onto Mt. Rushmore and make him stay there, posing for photographs, for the rest of his natural life.

He's so good at this, isn't he?

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

This one seems worthy of a bit of attention, no?

This powerful scene shows something survivors have been trying to explain for decades. Freeze. Comply. Dissociate. These are not choices — they’re automatic trauma responses. F*ck those who don’t understand.

A master class in eloquence and heart from Mayor Johnson. If only more politicians and others in power could follow suit.

Well worth a watch. Another case of normie radicalization. This guy is the former president of a local HOA, a web developer for real estate companies and a self proclaimed "member of the square community" and he's out in the streets.

Today's winner for most spot-on comment: "Is that why she's dressed like the sofa?" Could Usha really be THAT oblivious/ tone deaf?!

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

Toot toot beep beep

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 WATCH — @mrjamesob.bsky.social: “I’m going to say this slowly… The President of The United States of America has sided with Putin against the United Kingdom. He has put the whole of Europe in the crosshairs.”

Pete Hegseth's WAR CRIMES and what we do about it. Our troops are in danger!

Terrific

Elle Cordova is the BEST!

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Listen carefully (1:22): "[The president] has tried to do everything he can to make [the shutdown] as unpainless as possible." Wow, talk about inadvertently saying the true part out loud.

"The world is watching"

In this video, Andrews points out something important. When people think of Christians, they tend to think of the Christian nationalists who cheer on Trump's evil. That makes non-evil Christians like Andrews furious. Others should feel that way too.

Seems like this deserves wider attention substack.com/@politicsusa...

Love this! So talented and creative. It’s the soundtrack to the scientific apocalypse we are living in! I follow @ellecordova.bsky.social here but this wasn’t posted. This was from TikTok! Enjoy!

"Similarily"??

Time to change residence to Maine and vote for this guy - and against the SPINELESS Susan Collins.

The (UK) Telegraph on Trump's visit: "There were the marching bands with their flawless precision and the procession of ceremonial carriages whose windows are designed to allow a view of their esteemed occupants waving to jubilant crowds. But there was no waving because there were no crowds.”

Go Jimmy!!!

I canceled Hulu & Disney+ because Disney/ABC is colluding with Trump to strip away our First Amendment rights to free speech #BoycottDisneyABC

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but I refuse to be silent. I’m canceling Hulu and Disney+ until ABC reinstates Jimmy Kimmel. #BoycottDisneyABC

That's how you do it.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

Senator Jon Ossoff speaking to his constituents here and describing the corruption in American politics. He is not pulling any punches and says Trump is a crook and a conman and wants to be King and is rigging the system for himself! Take a listen! ⬇️⬇️ #USDemocracy

JAMIE LEE CURTIS REACTS TO 'LATE SHOW' CANCELLATION: 'THEY'RE TRYING TO SILENCE PEOPLE'

I fully support this sentiment. Who are we fighting for if not others? It is counterintuitive to not allow people to learn from their mistakes. It does not serve any purpose, and it is a manufactured emotion, to keep us divided 💜 youtu.be/MaHEz8WdNQM?...
