True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Thank you. People are out of their minds because they’re listening to the lies and the gaslighting of the far right. The Right should be against corporate welfare and giving more money to the richest in this country at the expense of children and old people starving because to do it they cut snap.

Trump has made BILLIONS off of the presidency. And if you’re one of his billionaire buddies, you’re profiting off of it too. This is raw, unabashed corruption unlike anything we’ve seen from an American president.

The DSA isn't goose stepping outside your house. The DSA has a difference of opinion in how to govern, not how to dismantle, enslave, and rule.

Did anybody read the testimony of an Epstein survivor that talks about being raped at 13 and in fantasize occurring to her unborn child while Trump was reportedly present?

Blanche to Hawley on mifepristone: "I share your concerns, as does this entire admin. As you know, we have the most pro-life president in history, and you are one of the most pro-life senators in this body. That is a good thing ... the FDA has a process ... we will protect the life of the unborn."

So he’s a crappy negotiator when I’m hearing. And according to one of his news reports, that’s why you start a war for your president.

We’re about to pay Iran billions of dollars to open the Strait that was open before the war, and to hand over the highly enriched uranium they didn’t have before Trump pulled out of the JCPOA. Art of the deal, baby.

None of this would’ve been necessary if he hadn’t torn up the treaty that Obama put in place with Iran. No one can forget he started the fire by destruction of the initial treaty, he does not get worn iota of any credit for starting a war. Nor will he be a hero when he loses.

I ain’t reading all that. Congrats, or I’m sorry that happened. But seriously… what the fuck is this. “Mandatorily requesting”? He’s a goddamn moron.

Wanna know a secret? MAGA is hemorrhaging voters. The paid shills are trying to keep sanewashing this, but there’s a reason Trump’s primary performance doesn’t translate to general elections: His base is shrinking, and voters are tired of the bullshit.

Faith leaders who are preaching morality, should be appalled by #ICELawlessness & depravity about children being tortured & SAed & deprived of healthy food, water & medical care. And passionately opposed to what is happening to these immigrants. If they aren't, they aren't good people. Period.

The wealthy Ddraft dodger should not get any ability to put up a monument to honor themselves. Their their claim to combat fame as they didn’t get an STD. And God even knows if that’s true. What a pathetic human being.

NOT WITH MY TAX DOLLARS. It’s not just that this is a memorial Trump is building to honor himself. It’s the size & the location. Twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, and towering over Arlington National Cemetery, where two presidents and thousands who died in service to this country are buried.

You can share the list…the boxes are checked by GOP & right-wing churches.

Listen to Vance’s ridiculous speech & press conference with Orban today. He’s a fascist as well. Very pro-Putin, anti-Europe, anti-Ukraine, etc.

One of the lessons from Vietnam is that when they start bombarding you with numbers like these -- ordinance used, targets struck, so many killed and wounded -- there's more we're not being told.

@contessmanBarryLoudermilk. GA House CD 11 how did you vote?

213-203, House Republicans pass a 60-day DHS stopgap bill with ICE & CBP funds — mostly along party lines. But the bill is doomed in the Senate. DHS shutdown and TSA/airport chaos will continue for the foreseeable future. Unclear what happens next. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

So we know the current regime, the Trump regime, is more than happy to kill you for misdemeanor. And Pam Bondi protects them. And they are the presidents, personal police who will do whatever revenge tour he sends them on apparently.

Kintsugi reposted

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top Dem on the House appropriations panel, says DHS is *choosing* not to pay TSA workers while paying its other employees. She says: 85% of ICE + CBP are being paid 75% of Secret Service 0% of TSA workers "The Department made that decision," DeLauro says on the House floor.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

I do not believe that there is anything that he wouldn’t lie about if it puts him in a better light as long as there’s one person who thinks he’d be wonderful and swallow the lie.

Homan is a shill for the dictator wannabe.

Homan on ICE: "We're doing a security function at the airports. We're gonna arrest criminals going through airports, we're gonna look for human trafficking, sex trafficking, money launder-- ah, you know, money smuggling"

Trump is actually engaged in paying off people so that renewable energy cannot be used. Don’t care if you want to use fossil fuels. I think it’s ignorant of what this takes. But to stand in a way of my being able to use sustainable renewable energy? That’s a travesty. This is NOT a free country.

I truly hope the government is sued immediately for this insanity. The federal government is not only causing prices to go up with the absurd unneeded war, but now to actively work against cost savings. NO. That’s not what we want taxes to go for. Where is this $1B budget? Did Congress approve this?

Jack Smith offered to testify publicly under oath. Senate Judiciary Republicans would rather pursue a baseless partisan witch-hunt. A complete waste of time.

There was already a deal on Friday that Dune took two the president who said absolutely not unless the save act is passed. So what’s changed?

So they’re planning to have the brown shirt, secret police that is not acknowledged as a lawful entity to continue snatching people from all over. This has got to stop y’all.

And mail and ballots like all the rest are safe and have not shown more than 77 out of 2 billion votes that were fraudulent. Why is this fraud trying to convince you otherwise?

Paul Eric@pauleric70.bsky.social

Call to Activism 🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Trump ADMITS the SAVE Act is designed to disenfranchise voters: "Republicans have to win this one. We'll never lose a race for 50 years." He’s talking about YOU. Your vote gone. Your voice erased. So they never have to answer to you again.

Apparently, the Nazi party under another name is growing very fast here & Trump went to war because Netanyahu another criminal told Trump he must. Not is Israeli people not the Jewish people one criminal to another criminal. The wealthy creates so that we don’t rebel against them.

Their address and greed is insatiable. They must be removed from all offices because they only care about the oligarchy and theocracy.

Democracy Forward@democracyforward.org

We’re suing to block the Trump-Vance admin’s new SEC policy that silences shareholders and restricts the rights of investors to have a say in how the company they partially own is run. This policy is unlawful, reckless, and short-sighted. We will see them in court.

DONOT PASS THe VOTER SUPPRESSION BILL SAVE ACT

CREW@citizensforethics.org

The Senate is set to vote on the SAVE America Act this week—and President Trump is ramping up the pressure by claiming he won’t sign any bills until it passes. We can’t let it pass. Here’s why. 🧵

Trump spent years trashing NATO. He's been threatening to have the US withdrawal since his first term. Now he wants NATO to bail him out of a war he chose. Europe said no. That’s not the story of weak allies-- that’s the consequence of broken trust.

@NFL why aren’t you making an issue out of copyright infringement? Protect your copyrights. Go after every violator not just the ones that are the little people.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
