I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

"ThEyRe FlYiNg MeXiCaN FlAgS In ThE StREeTs" Give me a break Police were beat with American flags on January 6th Ohh not to mention the confederate flag being waved in the rotunda

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

“…study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich.” www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tax...

Trump cut nearly $3 billion in the first 100 days. Cancer is the #2 killer of people. Anyway, MAGA. www.axios.com/2025/05/19/n...

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

The failure of libertarians to pick the right side in this has exposed their whole thought system. A principled libertarian attack on limiting government overreach would be welcome at this time. Put no such thing exists. Libertarian just means selfish.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Sanders: I want to say a word about Alexandria Person in the crowd: Future president Crowd: *cheers*

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

America’s real national emergency is Donald J. Trump. robertreich.substack.com/p/america-is...

Yeah. You really don't want to mess with a mob of feathery ninjas with anger issues.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Welcome

Remembering the First Lady doing a crypto pump and dump that cost thousands of people millions of dollars and it wasn’t even a story

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

@teslatakedown.com Raleigh/Durham tesla takedown peaceful March 29 rally.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

You might ask why an entire nation's worth of computer experts opted out of "let's rewrite the code that handles all of Social Security in a couple months" before now and merely asking the question makes you much smarter than any of the script kiddies calling themselves 'DOGE'.

The last few days made me feel so much better, knowing that this bunch is not gonna win a war against Canada.

Accurate, to scale 👇🏽

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

Please take the fact that I am posting this picture, despite the fact I look like someone who will take your child if you can’t guess my name, as an indication of how delighted I was to meet @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Yep. They’ve been making this mistake since 2016. In Seattle, I remember the crowds that turned out for Bernie. Hilary never had that kind of support. And it was like that in non-liberal blue states as well. The DNC made sure to hamstring him. They did this to AOC too.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

From far and wide, people love these signs
