U.S. Migrants Deported to Congo: ‘Where on Earth Is This Place?’ www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

It is still incomprehensible to me that the white Democrats could not read what almost all the House reps of color understood: you do not enshrine a hater to sainthood, admit to your voters that the Republicans laid a trap, and then become ensnared with eyes wide open. Including my rep, Becca Balint

The entire right wing is in rage mode today. Why? Because the lazy, out of shape orange creature had to walk up a flight of stairs. I am in my 70's and keep myself in shape- I would be completely mortified to admit that walking up a flight of stairs was a challenge. Investigate the UN!

If are really, really angry at the entire Republican/ Center right Democratic establishment, Bob Dylan's MASTERS OF WAR is a great anthem for the moment.

So Schumer and Jeffries are on their knees begging the dear leader to meet with them- the very same dear leader who instructed the repugs in the senate not to negotiate. We really need leaders who don't play nice with fascists. Desperately.

How can we share a country with such hateful racists? Every day we live with this cruelty and stupidity makes me feel we need to secede at least economically- no tax dollars to the fascists! If the sending states kept their tax dollars, trump would be cooked.

Check out NYT today:they ran a story on the red envelopes full of cash that Eric Adams' volunteer is handing out to Chinese news media reporters-they saw this a month ago in 3 different occasions: sat on it until a small, independent THE CITY,turned them in.Imagine if Mamdani was seen bribing media!

Amazing on so many levels: Macron just stood there, the trumpers do not find this humiliating, and the orange a-hole actually believes anyone gives a shit about his tacky, overpriced junk.

It is refreshing to see some backbone in some surprising places- Gavin Newsom is trolling trump awesomely! Kathy Hochul has claimed she will fight the Texas redistricting. Not enough-but hopefully people will pressure some of the Democrats who have shown zero leadership-NJ, CT, OR, WA- and others.

Where is the so-called leadership of the Democratic party as Trump and the fascists who run Texas are trying to destroy what is left of democracy in this country? Schumer? Jeffries? silent as the tomb. We desperately need an opposition party and it cannot be led by these two spineless creatures.

How many Jews do I represent? We are so so sick of being called anti-semites by the guy who just called someone 'shylock,' the guy with the Iron cross tattoo, and the rest of the Jew-hating, Israel supporting Christian right. We support the rights of Palestinians to live-that makes us anti-semites??

U.S. Strikes on Iran Are Another Wedge for Divided Democrats www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u... NYT does it again- writing about Israel and omitting the centrist Democrats' refusal to say word 1 condemning the starvation campaign in Gaza, as if that were not central to opposing Israeli aggression.

TRUMP WANTS TO BE ADOLF HITLER BUT GUESS WHAT? WE ARE NOT GOOD GERMANS GOING TO WORK IN THE CAMPS. AND THIS IS NOT 1938.

Vigil Sunday, May 18 at Brattleboro town hall- 7PM. we will be mourning in solidarity those suffering under the Israeli starvation campaign. Please join us. Bring an empty pot or bowl.

Donald Trump is saying that he never posted this picture of him as Pope because he has annoyed his Catholic supporters too much with his blatant disrespect. RT it everywhere because that orange pig hates it.

This is the website that has templates for Know Your Rights cards for immigrant communities in a variety of languages. You can print them out at home or have a local printer do it so you can distribute them at local stores and centers. Please re-post 🔥 ‼️ 🙏 www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta...

We just crossed the Canadian border into Vermont after a liberating week in Montreal . Midday on a week day- NOT A TRUCK OR CAR BESIDES US. We have done this crossing many times- never seen anything like this.

Trump-Appointed Judge: Administration Must Return Another Man Deported to El Salvador www.commondreams.org/news/deporta...

I am grateful: we held a memorial for my mother, who died at 99 in February. Not a trumper present, and many there, including a friend of hers who is likely 90, who told me about her attending local protests! As well as the former Republicans (2) who are totally anti trump now. They are so hated!

Stephen Miller should be prosecuted for libel.

ARREST NOEM, BONDI, MILLER TIL THEY BRING THEM SMALL HOME!

Listen to Vermont Representative Balint on Democracy Now today! She is a clear voice for the opposition! Nothing weak here- if she, as a descendant of a Holocaust victim, can call BS on the Trump claims of academic anti-semitism it is clearly a lie. The true Jew haters are the MAGAts

VERMONTERS: where is Phil Scott? 2 Vermonters were picked up by ICE storm troopers. no comment from Phil. Threats to our closest neighbor? Where is Phil? We know he is still in office because of his threats to any local control of our public schools. Anyone want to think about planning a protest?

The dumbness is really hard to take. They really believed the serial liar when he told them that other countries paid the tariffs. Just like they all believed Mexico would pay for the wall. I guess they will never learn-and we have to share real estate with this bunch of shits.

So what's next? I know they are testing us with the refusal to rescue Abrego Garcia. Next: send brownshirts to openly murder a prominent leftist or Democrat. What do we do after that?

Yet another gross failure by the corporate media: where are the headlines about the amazingly openly illegal insider trading?

It’s time to BOYCOTT WALMART! Are you READY?! 🤚 #BoycottWalmart

this is now officially Nazi Germany. Trump can pick up a group of innocent men with tattoos, no due process at all, ship them off the a concentration camp, and walk away, according to the fascist John Roberts. I thought his job was actually follow the law. silly me.

It appears that the trump family engaged in a bit of insider trading. They sold stocks, converted cash to crypto: they knew exactly what they were doing, knowing that the rest of us will be hurt, and some will be crushed, while they are as always laughing all the way to the bank.

we have a microcosm of the national problem with the Dems in vermont:about 30% vote for D. state rep and then vote for the self claiming "not trumpy" republican governor. 4 times. So the super right wing ed. sec. he hired is now telling VT teachers to comply with the DEI order. Or not. Very suspect.

What will the United Nations do? The trumpers have already proposed "advanced vetting," to block the entry of delegates they don't want here. Shut it down and move to Geneva, Toronto, or ?New York would take a big hit, but it may be the only way the UN can survive.

so one of the only bright spots in the tariff catastrophe is this: auto mechanics, body shops, and large appliance repair people will be raking it in!

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/iIUZSRVj

Tourists are cancelling trips to the US – here’s how this could affect its economy theconversation.com/tourists-are...

So now Elon knows he can't buy everything- the people of Wisconsin said no. So likely the lesson he will learn is this: free and fair elections are really unfair to Elon, so we can't hold anymore. This will be thorough one of Dear Leader's illegal executive orders: if you can't buy it, ban it.

So Elon,a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat was not for sale.The lesson these shits will take from this is that holding a free election is not acceptable.If they can't buy it, they want to destroy it, so that is what they will try to do with what remains of the electoral system. Kiss fair counts byebye.

Perfect commentary.

We can't rely on the fascists following the rule of the judges- Biden did nothing to fix the Supreme Court, so it is pretty much in the tank for trump in all judgements. Roberts has given up on the appearance of legitimacy- it is Clarence Thomas's super corrupt outfit now. time to fill the streets!

Trump is ignoring the power of nationalism at his own peril- and threatening Canada could bring down the US government- at least half of us want nothing to do with attacking our friends and relations in Canada- we would certainly undermine the effort.

If trump pretends to hold an election, count on this kind of BS happening.

tourism: I wonder if the vast majority of tourism industry executives are trumpers- I am hearing nothing from that industry as trump and musk arrest hikers and others who had just come to vacation- now Europeans and Canadians are going anyplace but here.

Mark is beloved by millions of kids, which makes it particularly great that he’s teaching them how to inform their parents that Tesla is a danger to children. This is another one of those “we don’t need a ‘Rogan of the left’, we need normal men” examples.

Lots of energy at today's protest.

CHUCK SCHUMER: WE ALREADY KNEW YOU WERE DESPICABLE, BUT WOW! GOOD JOB SELLING OUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO THE NAZI PARTY. REMIND US AGAIN ABOUT THE CONCESSIONS WE RECEIVED FOR GIVING THE STORE TO THE REPUBLICANS?

Can you say the same?! 🤚

Yes he did!
