We don’t need Ted Cruz lecturing the public on not being political about a tragedy. He’s the last one.

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims [From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]

Nor will I.

Outdoor Afro, a national nonprofit, is helping families develop water skills and overcome historical barriers. capitalbnews.org/drowning-dis...

Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

My mood today

If you don't understand the nuance/truth that a lot of the "Red" states are red because of gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, voter suppression, etc And that there are liberals there who didn't vote for shitty people & policies Saying "____ state deserves it" = You're as foul as the fascists

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either. This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

Big Beautiful Bill prohibits HHS from enforcing minimum staffing standards for nursing homes. Republicans decided it's about time somebody stuck it to these nursing home freeloading patients who have too easy lives in their too well staffed facilities.

UPDATE: The official death toll jumped to 43 following the catastrophic floods that hit the Texas Hill Country as of Saturday evening, local officials announced during a news conference.

I shouldn’t let some strangers on the internet make me cry, but to my shame, I did today. Y’all just remember you never know what someone is going through. A little kindness goes a long way.

Sorry for caring. Back to your online performances which I’m sure are changing the world in marvelous ways. 🤷‍♀️

Fuck you. I actively worked in campaigns against them. If you can’t spare a ln ounce of empathy for a bunch of dead children then you are cold and dead inside. I guess only blue states matter.

Your regular reminder that most people in this country can't afford to move to another state and the inclination to say they're getting what they voted for in the devastation of a hurricane or flood or whatever the hell is a failure of common sense and empathy on multiple levels.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

“Workers are so lazy!” —Republican, talking about people who pick vegetables in 98 degree heat, while sipping an icy vodka tonic at his $200,000/year golf club on a Tuesday.

Starting to think these folks aren’t the “free thinkers” they think they are

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I swear they are taking shifts laying on me. Apparently I am not allowed to be unsupervised.

Drop some SCREAMS 😱🖤🎥

Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Oooooof, I just checked the news after being blissfully offline for a lot of the day. Could we maybe not start another war in the Middle East, as a treat?

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

I think it's rather fitting and beautiful that Pope Leo XIV is confirmed as a White Sox fan. A true advocate for the downtrodden.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

The GOP budget has $0 for FEMA’s emergency management funding, yet provides $300M to pay for Trump’s golf trips. Extreme weather doesn’t discriminate between red and blue districts. The GOP is choosing Trump’s golf over the safety and security of their constituents.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Someone is feeling himself today. #Chickensofbluesky #Farmersky 🐓🐣

Guess who escaped the house at some point yesterday? No clue how or when he slipped out but he met me at the front door. 🤦‍♀️ Glad the little turd is okay.

It rained just a little today. 😳 #dogsofbluesky 🐕

Four Seasons Total Landscaping is once again ready to host the circus!

Hegseth is obsessed with optics. Make up. Waist lines.

Cheeto wants you to know he didn’t get the brain cell for International Cat Day, so he celebrated by being a holy terror as always. #catsofbluesky #orangecats

They literally stole taxpayer money and put into their personal empire. These two are such crooks.

So many new peeps on the farm! #chickens #farmsky

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Now is a good time to pick up a chocolate 🍫 bunny for your teenager. They’ll love it. They still want the magic.

“The government is not a car company.”

This is amazing!
