Not sure how some Americans can just say this is ok. Less has derailed a political career. 🤬

Stock Trades by Presidents While in Office: Bill Clinton: ZERO George W. Bush: ZERO Barack Obama: ZERO Donald Trump (first term): 517 Joe Biden: ZERO Donald Trump (second term): 24,000+, averaging >60 trades per trading day. This is why the crook in the Oval Office manipulates the markets.

The Trump administration is moving to strip federal protections from millions of acres of wetlands across the country. A new EPA and Army Corps proposal would dramatically narrow which waters qualify for protection under the Clean Water Act. Wetlands aren’t wasted space.

When history is written it will mark this era as when Russia met their ultimate goal of destroying America from the inside.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

This is the protest just starting to assemble. Cops are lined on the other side in front of the protestors. #NoKings #LVprotests #peacefulprotest

Just left the Las Vegas Rally! It’s about 2 miles of people around blocks and all down LVB! If we don’t show up we will definitely lose the fight but when we show up we will WIN the WAR! #NoKings #LVprotest #Neverstopfighting!

Every word of this is true!

MAGA wanted President Obama impeached for wearing a tan suit and they wanted him thrown in jail for creating a healthcare plan, but they’re more than okay with the orange felon illegally accepting foreign bribes and selling pardons to other felons. It was always about racism.

Most people don’t know this, but @PBS is part of the backbone of America’s emergency alert system. Helps push IPAWS alerts (AMBER, weather, etc.) Broadcast-based = works when cell towers go down Trusted info during crises Backup comms for first responders it’s national infrastructure #PBS

In case you’re wondering all of the impacts of the pardons being handed out to all of Trumps friends, here is the over $1.2 BILLION in restitution and fines cancelled by the pardon. Tell me again how they are saving tax payers “hard earned money”? WTAF??

If you thought Mike Walz learned anything from Signalgate you were wrong. This was taken on April 30, 2025 during a meeting with Trump. These are all messages with high level members of the government ON SIGNAL, which means it disappears against the Presidential Records Act!

This is underreported! These centers study everything from storm models, security at our borders, gun safety, diseases and more. Congress is the only branch who can shutter this legally! DOGE dismantling foreign aid agency started by George W. Bush : Goats and Soda www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Had to look for the hand photos Trump was showing to prove he had MS-13 on his knuckles. Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t see it. First photo with the Senator other shown by Trump today.

Insanity. Like you think it, you’re sure it’s real but then you see the data and know you’re not crazy. 🥺

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

I’m wondering if someone smarter than me can answer this question. How is it legal to send people from Venezuela, or any other country, to a torture prison in ANOTHER country with no way out? Where is the legal pathway for this? Anyone?? #unansweredquestions #immigration #deportations

OMG! 🤣🤣 How embarrassing. Kind of a great metaphor to this administration, everything they touch falls apart.

JD Vance just broke apart the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy on live television.

During his hearings he swore he wouldn’t use his position to retaliate and “stay above the fray”. Another big lie from the party that lies as easy as they breathe. This should be illegal. #trumpadministration #retaliation www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

nbcnews.comFBI analyst targeted in Kash Patel's book placed on leavePatel, who is now the FBI director, included Brian Auten on a list of roughly 60 alleged “deep state" actors in his 2023 book, “Government Gangsters.”

Damn this makes me mad but at least it’s out there now. I bet needing to bed this asshat for funds for your state. But the minute he said something she didn’t agree with she should have WALKES OUT!! Too many Dems are staying silent, or going along to get along. We can’t make it normal!! #enough

📌All of this surrendering and capitulation by “marquee” Democrats points to a larger problem within the party itself. People are sick and tired of their sick and tired act. 📌Either you believe the grotesque Trump is an extreme threat to America and the values you claim to care about, or you don’t.

So if he WANTED TO he could tell President B to send back the guy the Supreme Court told him to bring back. But I’m gonna guess he won’t do that. I’m still waiting for anyone to explain how deporting to a country and into a prison vs sending to their country of origin is legal. Anyone??

Lewelyn Dixon immigrated from the Philippines to Hawaii 50 years ago. She worked as a lab technician at the University of Washington. But on a trip returning from the Phillipines, ICE detained her. Her family hasn't been told where she is being held. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/03/22/i...

This is absolutely insider trading! When are his supporters going to wake up?

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

Trump: “He made $2 and a half billion today and he made ‘900 million.’” On Wednesday morning, as the stock market opened, Trump tweeted urging people to buy stocks, knowing full well he was about to pause the tariffs. We need an immediate investigation

Remember when everyone was saying Biden was terrible for the economy? These numbers say otherwise. Why do Americans have such short term amnesia of good vs bad?

Jesus Christ what are we doing??!!

#ProudBlue This is what ICE recently did to the students at one school in Sackets Harbor, NY. This casual abduction of perfectly legal kids is both cruel and unlawful. The Trump/Musk regime is abducting perfectly legal residents of the US & subjecting them to the most horrible treatment.

WTF?

Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social

The MAGA regime is set to close a landmark Civil Rights-era Justice Dept office named the Community Relations Service which was established in the 1960s. Yet another unsurprising action taken by an evil lifelong racist white supremacist criminal and his cult.

The Empty Library memorial, to remember the book burnings done by Nazis. This monument is a stark reminder of the book burning’s of the Nazis. Heinrich Heine is quoted as saying “Those who burn books will, in the end, burn the people.” The USA is doing a modern “book burning”. 🥺🥺

Reminder of tax rates on top earners over the 100+ years of income tax in America. Tax rates were slashed as tariffs were introduced and it didn’t work and made the Great Depression even worse. Taxing the rich with higher rates helped build the modern America we know. #taxtruth #notariffs

They aren’t wrong. And the Republicans asking for a $5 Trillion increase in the debt ceiling will be the 50th increase since 1960 under Republican presidents. Compared to 29 under Democrat presidents. #fiscalresponsibility #trumpadministration #fiscalfailures

The New Republic@newrepublic.com

Here's one statistic for you: → Net jobs created under Clinton and Obama: 33.8 million. → Net jobs created under Bush, Bush, AND Trump: 1.9 million. That is not a typo.

A legal resident of New Hampshire was “violently interrogated” for hours, stripped naked, and forced into a cold shower. Given little food or water and prevented from taking medication, he collapsed and was hospitalized.
