This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

The sandwich "exploded"? Was there shrapnel? Did he get cut by the shredded lettuce? LMAO! Tell me, was the explosion anything like the pepper ball rounds this guy most likely shot at peaceful protesters that very day?

Adolf Hitler repeatedly claimed that Germany’s government was failing its people. He used that narrative to justify dismantling democracy and installing a dictatorship. #TrumpisaFascist

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Look out, Canada: Vaccination rates for the vaccine that confers protection against diphtheria have been dropping. It's unlikely to end with measles.

Andrew McCabe casts doubt on Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with DOJ: “It‘s so suspicious. When you listen to the tapes, you get the sense that Ghislaine Maxwell went into that room knowing what information she had to deliver…to get some sort of benefit that she is pursuing from the administration.”

Fuck it. I’m releasing these. The police seized all of my lasers during this operation. I have a court date in my future. #FreeLordLaser #FreeLadyLaser I will tell the whole story later. But it was all worth it to release these images on this day. “Good men must not obey the law too well.”

Really frustrating seeing journalists continue using “peace deal.” This is such an insult to Ukrainians. What “peace deal” implies is rewarding a terrorist state committing genocide and an illegal invasion by an aggressor.

One of FDA's Oncology Division has lost what is essentially the equivalent of a full drug review team. It's malignant hematology review teams are expected to have a staff less than half the intended size as more staff depart this August. insights.citeline.com/pink-sheet/a...

So do something. Support Ukraine. Give them what they need.

Withholding billions in promised federal education funding that students need—and states had planned to use to support children in their states—is a cruel betrayal of students, especially those who rely on critical support services.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

We are just 6 months in… the amount of cruelty seems to be never ending. 😢 So much pain, anguish, cruelty, & harm are being intentionally inflicted onto our population. Are these considered crimes against humanity? (Even folks not directly involved are suffering) Class action lawsuits?

The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it. Dystopian, Orwellian shit.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

1. In the wake of Trump threats, multiple trans clinics in safe states have stopped providing care. Parents feel abandoned as governors apply no pressure. One therapist reported an uptick in suicidal ideation among those denied care. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.
