Fuck this douchebag Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) insisted that President Donald Trump's attack on Iran made him more determined to pass a bill that could strip health care from more than 10 million Medicaid recipients. crooksandliars.com/2025/06/ron-...

This is just wrong on so many levels Instead of preparing for possible terrorist attacks after the Trump administration bombed Iran The Department of Homeland Security is brutally beating and detaining a laborer who's the father of 3 US Marines Can we at least pause the fascism while we're at war
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Remember when Bush used WMDs as the excuse for war in Iraq but then never found any? Now Trump's using WMDs as his excuse for attacking Iran but in fact he has no clue where they might be keeping their Uranium stockpile www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

Donald Trump’s traitorous presidency, his undeserved occupation of the Oval Office, and his very repugnant presence in the highest seat of power in America are all a massive middle finger to those who died so that we could endure. #LosAngeles #California johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

I’m not antisemitic, but I AM super anti Netanyahu. SUPER!!! I am a fan of Pritzker though!!
Today marks the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, Illinois. I won't be silent in the face of a continuing record rise of antisemitism in our nation. There is strength in our faith, and we can always find strength in one another.

Transcripts and FEMA are disappearing as tariffs and tariff threats come and go. No ranting or obvious agonizing here, just @hcrichardson.bsky.social calmly connecting three dots to tell a disquieting story. Which only magnifies its impact. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
