I like dogs and cats, and democrats. Beer and wine and I'm just fine. Desert winters, punk rock and #FlyEaglesFly football all give me joy.

This fake Christian grifter funnels off over $700,000 from just *one* of his many "charities." And he pays no taxes--because he's a "Christian" who doesn't delve into politics. TAX THE CHURCHES.

CALIFORNIANS: listen up, this is super important 👇

Micah@rincewind.run

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

I think most would agree that the economy in the first 6 months or so of an administration can be affected by the policies of the previous presidency. But, come on - you are two years into this. This is all on Trump.

KILMEADE: Inflation is up 3.7% & gas is up 9%. For people who say 'I'm going to vote for the other party,' what do you say? KATIE ZACHARIA: Well, the reason we're in this situation is Biden, so I would say President Trump has done everything he's been able to. You can't correct the ship overnight.

The last two years, I have felt powerless, but today that power shifted back to me. I voted. And it felt great. Each little circle I filled in on my ballot felt like my own personal "FUCK YOU!" to Trump, the GOP and the people who put and keep him in office.Today was therapeutic.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

Ossoff is giving a master class on how to dismantle MAGA candidates. Pull no punches, give no quarter, stay on offense. Do it all with a controlled and factual delivery.

I would like to think that this failure is the beginning of the end of the death penalty in the US. It's cruel and barbaric and applied unfairly and irreversible.

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

"If you're a citizen, you have no reason to fear" For what it is worth, as a naturalized citizen who still has an accent, I carry proof of citizenship 24/7

BASH: He's a US citizen MARKWAYNE MULLIN: He wasn't arrested BASH: He was arrested. He was later released, but he was arrested. Do Americans need to carry around proof of citizenship now? MULLIN: If you're a citizen, you have no reason to fear

Just one reporter - please, just do it. Next press conference, ask him, "Mr President - what the fuck have you done with your hair?" I know it is trivial, but I want to see him melt down.

Bless these neighbors.

Friendly Neighborhood Mouse@missmouse.bsky.social

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

Just spent 3 weeks in England. It was encouraging that we didn't meet one single person who could say a kind word about Trump, everyone without exception hates him. Even those on the right can't stand him.

We don't have to like her, we do not have to trust or respect her, and we certainly don't have to vote for her. And of course we do not know her motives, but this post is 100% truth to power. And yes, there is a little vomit in my mouth as I write these words, "Well said MTG, I agree with you."

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

I am horrified by the brutal killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE earlier this week. Mr. Araujo had no convictions and had been living here for decades, working toward the American Dream. ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.

Imagine being a little wanna be Nazi turd. You're proud of your big day yesterday, making like a pretend soldier, and being all racist and shit. You scroll through social media and see this - people you idolize accusing you of wanting healthcare for all and wanting to save the planet! Awww bless.

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

substack.comA Terrible Thing Happened to My FamilyEven in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

WTF LAPD???? The LAPD showed up with 20+ officers and even sent a HELICOPTER for a noise complaint in an apartment complex in Canoga Park. And they shot and killed Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. He wasn't dangerous. He wasn't a threat.
