“This is the moment. This is the crucial point where the future of yet unborn generations will be decided either by our action or inaction. For centuries to come, people will look back at this time and rejoice at our courage or curse our weakness.” Rise of Empire, M.J. Sullivan

This is your reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

I’ve been inactive here for good, long while-came to check in and see what’s new. Found out I’d been blocked by a lot of accounts. 😂🤷‍♀️ What have I missed?

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.

Newsom: They play by a different set of rules . And we can sit back and act as if we have some moral superiority and watch this almost 250 year experiment be washed away. We are not going to allow that to happen. We have agency. We can shape the future

AOC: "when politicians leave government, they go and work for lobbyists and that tells you everything about the coordinated interests that are in cahoots all over regardless of party."

Has anyone bought dog paw booties from Rocky Mountain Paw Protection? They seem like good quality and design. But always hard to tell until they’re in your hands. I just ordered. It was so hard to find booties large enough for Saber’s big ‘ol bear paws. I’ve bought 3 others and sent them back.

This. All day long. 👇

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

How did the poor guy mowing your lawn every two weeks become the biggest national security threat, rather than a Defense Secretary posting war plans on Signal?

A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 million— and I hope he gets every penny. THIS‼️ When being transported, Garcia heard agents boasting about how many ‘bodies’ they had gotten that day and saw them celebrate with high fives.

This is what I’m so worried about

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Early estimates indicate that it will cost around $450 million a year to operate the detention camp. ChatGPT estimates it would cost about $440 million a year to permanently house all homeless veterans. I think that speaks volumes about the priorities of the Trump administration.

I think most people severely underestimated how much fascism and kleptocracy would triumph through the surrender and default of forces that should have opposed it.

Our medical system is so broken. I spent a few hours in the ER back in March for what turned out to be Influenza A. Not only was I treated like garbage, but the hospital billed insurance $12,633.83. Blue Shield paid $9,142.69. I have had to pay $3,492.14. The abominable care I received rankled 1/

so much I wrote a letter to the hospital administrator. Never received a reply. I’ve been making payments every month and had a small balance left for July. Just received notice they referred me to a collection agency. Perfect credit score now trash. Oh, and did I mention I pay $1800 a month 2/

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?
