Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Ironic to hear Happy Independence Day when people are being disappeared, losing their jobs, thrown off Medicaid, and their children’s school lunches snatched away, while GOP celebrates the Big Ugly Bill passing! America is broken

This 👇🏼 our disabled are terrorized for asking our government for help.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

This 👇🏼 not terrorism yet?

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

Hey Congress appropriation committee members, y’all lit up tax payer dollars!

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

Wanna witness dishonorable conduct? More to come from this regime

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding. They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR. Let me be real clear: What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

"Your agency acts as if laws don’t matter, as if the election gave you some mandate to violate the Constitution and the laws passed by this Congress. It did not give you that mandate." --Sen. Chris Murphy confronting DHS Secy Kristi Noem www.americaamerica.news/p/confrontin...

americaamerica.newsConfronting the Arrogant LawlessnessSenators Chris Murphy and Patty Murray incisively criticized the illegality and inhumanity of Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security. It's a start, but not enough to overcome this cruel regime.

Shameful👇🏼

Daniel Goldman@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co

Trump's making a mockery of the DOJ. First Kash Patel is appointed FBI Director. Next Alina Habba is named US Attorney in NJ. Now, he's named Fox News' Jeanine Pirro for US Atty in DC, which has jurisdiction over Trump’s crypto corruption. His assault on the law continues.

HIPAC dismantled by HHS, good luck with hospital and other health care services in fighting infections in the workplace. There will be no deaths because they won’t be counted MAHA!

Global diplomacy is utter failure with this regime

Keith Edwards@keithedwards.bsky.social

India has attacked Pakistan. Israel and Gaza are still at war. Russia has continued its assault on Ukraine. The world economy is crashing. Trump said he’d fix it; instead, he made it worse.

This is Thug Talk, disrespecting another country’s leader before the whole world is beyond indecent.

Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social

This part just sends me: “Someone just drew a line…..I’m a very artistic person.” Just the insult of talking about another country’s borders and physical integrity this way with the PM sitting right there trying not to leap out of his chair. It’s just indecent.

True dat👇🏼

NO THANKS TO KINGS@wallawalla-99.bsky.social

It’s crazy to watch a country try to do time travel—not to the future, but 150 years backward to the Gilded Age. Back when life expectancy was 40, workers had no rights, and monopolies owned everything. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a national death wish.

They know this, just not following through because they scared spineless

Dennis@jedclampett.bsky.social

I’ll go one further…any President who violates his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” should be impeached, convicted, and removed from office.

He looks like a repressed catholic and cardinal…Jesus did not advice to persecute and hassle LGBTQ. He did hassle the tax collectors and corrupt people.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion. www.joemygod.com/2025/04/card...

Another falsehood they hope to turn into truth hood via spin cycle to hoodwink the American people

Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Playing Russian roulette with the defense of our country, what could possibly go wrong

Politico@politico.com

Trump has privately told Hegseth that he’s sticking by him, reinforcing his public support for the embattled Defense secretary who has faced calls for his ouster amid growing turmoil at the Pentagon.

If Congress and SCOTUS still cannot see that this regime is out and out destroying America then ya, the American people are truly on their own. SMDH!

Aaaaaand another lane opens for China — whose influence in Africa is already ascendant.
