Yet another big day @kickbacksoccer.bsky.social, as we re-introduce @firsttouch.bsky.social as the premier destination for following the global game through an American lens. @susannahfuller.bsky.social delivers 20 mins of the best storytelling in soccer. This week: The Rise and Fall of Infantino.

#EpsteinFiles No vids. Closed door.

Lead by David Stevens. “Evil was possible under them. Today that evil is in plain sight as Republicans gerrymander Black majority seats into white majorities to eliminate Black representation.” #Pinks #MomSky #ProudBlue www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

An important & VERY relevant read. For those wondering why F47, Russ Vought attack science, it is b/c of the belief that those w/ advanced degrees are the enemy. This includes the #NIH & universities. It's about preserving Republican power. 🧪 scienceandfreedomalliance.substack.com/p/why-is-tru...

It looks like Trump's revenge campaign is paying off. What prompted the president to use the full power of his office and his surrogates in right-wing media to pummel Massie? Because Massie was the lone House Republican willing to occasionally stand up to Trump.

Acting AG Blanche on Trump's so-called $1.776 billion slush fund to January 6th rioters and top Trump allies: "It is true that this is unusual..."

Steve Rattner exposes a massive failure by the Trump administration. He confirms since Trump took office, American men have shockingly lost 155,000 jobs. Blue-collar sectors like manufacturing are completely collapsing under his watch.

Trump critic Thomas Massie defeated in Kentucky Republican House primary

Well, Hallelujah! The Senate is doing what it’s supposed to do. Senate Votes to Take Up Measure to Force Trump to End Iran War www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

Thank you @lindaworkerbee.bsky.social @seizeday.bsky.social @cheryldogmom.bsky.social for the shoutout. 💙 @dairylandjubilee.bsky.social @jules1212.bsky.social @tonyhq1985.bsky.social @watchingevil.bsky.social @jwlee3427.bsky.social @abbarsha.bsky.social @phyllisjsilver.bsky.social @57kev.bsky.social

“This fund is not compensation. It is not reconciliation. It is not justice. It is a standing infrastructure for rewarding political violence on Trump’s behalf.”

Hegseth fired our Generals. And now is bringing Kid Rock to the Pentagon address our military??? These people are deeply unserious.

ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen mother & leaves 2 little kids in backseat. "I was shouting: I'm a citizen! I have my children in the car—9 year old girl and 1 year old boy!" She was held hours before being released, despite proving she was a U.S. citizen. Incident occurred in Asbury Park, NJ.

"What we are all seeing here is about one thing: power. ... Our Framers... the people who wrote the antitrust laws, were about fighting concentration of power. And this is an unholy alliance between powerful economic forces, powerful corporations, & powerful people in government who know no limits."

Welcome to Trump's new "Golden Age."

July 15, 2025: Thomas Massie introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act October 17, 2025: Trump endorsed primary challenger Ed Gallrein It is obvious what is happening here…

Another golf weekend at his country club.

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

As of April 2026, 60% of Republicans believe the U.S. doesn't benefit from NATO. NATO Article 5 was invoked once in its history, on September 12, 2001, just one day after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. 3,600 NATO-led soldiers died in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021.

Elect a felon expect felonies.

Wait, I thought we brought in trillions of dollars of tariffs and were going to erase the deficit with it? He lied again? GASP!

Nothing to see here, folks. Just a billionaire hosting a private party for the President and Acting Attorney General while his massive media merger is under review at the Justice Department, it's not a REAL scandal like Hunter Biden selling some of his paintings. 🙄

Scammers are stealing homes from New Yorkers. We’re launching the Mayor’s Office of Deed Theft Prevention to defend vulnerable homeowners, and we are pausing the tax lien sale for the next six months as we review and fix a broken system.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

If you ask me, Sen. Jon Ossoff is sounding more and more like a potential 2028 presidential candidate.

Fossil Fuels Are Not The Future….

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

"Biggest scam in modern political history."

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

We told you.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Greed and gluttony are hallmarks of evil.

Things stupid people say.

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy. This is white Christian nationalism.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

“The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" according to alert sent to law enforcement agencies.” I was called an alarmist when I mentioned sleeper cells. 🤷‍♂️ abcnews.com/US/iran-acti...

😂

Proving yet again one of my basic rules on navigating Trumpism: He will always replace an incompetent person with someone more incompetent.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
