That poor duckling is all of us on Trump/Republican controlled America .... *sigh*

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Ad is such lies. Baumgartner's Trump-support voting record has repeatedly hurt his own constituents along w/WA state. 1 ex: he voted to cut healthcare - both medicaid & fed ACA subsidy and his district has one of the largest medicaid recipients, for billionaires' tax-cuts, cliche & evil

Blu-Ski posts anyone? 🤣Angry, old, white, republican men making a fool of themselves while also indicting themselves reading aloud TRUTHS about themselves calling out their core ugly, racist, bigoted, homophobic selves. Yes, Kennedy, me too "hyperbolic"

Amazon is using AI in terrifying ways to disempower workers. We must fight back. buff.ly/PQ38IbP

Elias Irizarry was charged with misdemeanor trespassing before being pardoned. Now he’ll serve in a sensitive position at the Pentagon’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict office, which oversees embassy security, hostage rescue, etc. trib.al/pIPQx8K

In case you haven't heard, Trump wants to keep people from mail-in voting unless they're on his approved list. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

“We all need to play by the same set of rules” - @aoc.bsky.social

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

This is a new low in the use of the shadow docket. The Court blocked a lower court ruling on the so called "interim docket" (as conservatives call it). Then, quietly issued a final judgement without allowing us to even brief the merits appeal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If eight children are murdered and nobody notices, they're still dead. ICYMI @citizencohn.bsky.social on the mass shooting that was barely covered:

Republicans weaponizing bigotry into laws, true of a lot our country's laws through the years. Though in modern times its the republicans still using that toxic method, some Dems politicians complicit w/ anti-socialism pledges & Dems' leaders like Schumer's bigotry against Mamdani in his race.

Nothing screams "political freedom" like a bill that would...denaturalize immigrants for supporting some of the same economic policies as many American elected officials. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social on Chip Roy's "MAMDANI" bill:

The company’s right-wing politics and eagerness to facilitate U.S. and Israeli military aggression abroad, NSA global surveillance, and ICE deportations has also made many weary of its access to incredibly sensitive personal data.

So, cars are now going to constantly monitor you and lock the transmission if it thinks you're not fit to drive. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

What about holding Trump to the same standards when he calls the press enemies of the people and calls for the execution of democratic leaders? JFC CNN have some fucking integrity

The Trump admin has made it difficult for even the most highly skilled people in the world to work in America. The denial rate for a green card for an alien with extraordinary ability nearly doubled to 46.6% by the end of FY 2025. @mclem.org @erikbryn.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

When I think of the billions and billions of dollars that have been pumped into Israel for years I wonder why Americans don’t get angry that their tax dollars have provided free healthcare, childcare, universities, etc. to Israel AND NOT TO AMERICANS THEMSELVES!!!!! .

Republicans are all protecting pedophiles… Mike Johnson must have skeletons in his closet about this same issue.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office. But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority. (Published Oct. 2023)

I’m hoping that she is getting through to some of his supporters.

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

So true 💔

This is what corruption and wasting taxpayers' money looks like

But what's next? Why no emulating French w/wide-spread strikes? Of course, workers don't have any of the protections they do in France & most European countries, incl govt healthcare. Maybe that's been a stealth way to keep masses subjugated too?

A certain skill set able to rig elections to get the guy in to serve their self-interest then? Dropping regulations, allowed to do whatever-the-hell, never mind the existential threats, the govt contracts, the billions added to personal wealth of the owners. We know 2024 "results", now midterms too?

Does anyone trust this DOJ on anything anymore? There's your answer to question Scott Horton's asking ⬇

Did the DOJ rely on factual claims they knew were false in seeking and securing the Antifa convictions in Prarieland, Texas? It now seems that they did. inthesetimes.com/article/prai...

The Israeli government has displaced a total of 6 million people from their homes. (3 million Iran, 2 million Gaza, 1 million Lebanon). 6 million people. The equivalent of the entire population of Maryland displaced from their homes. By one government.

Joe Kent’s Resignation Could Bolster A Wave Of Conscientious Objectors To Trump’s Iran War Kent’s resignation came as the most recent and perhaps most consequential of a series of rifts opening on the far right over the war in Iran. tinyurl.com/zEkcL9

OPINION: Once upon a time, America, albeit for a millisecond, saw South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham strap on a pair and condemn the tyranny of Donald Trump.

Senate Republicans are growing anxious about the midterms. They once felt like they had a glidepath to keep or even grow their majority in November, unlike in the House, where GOP control is razor-thin and members have become increasingly on edge about Democrats returning to power.
