the basic message of the republican party is “fuck you, you’re on your own.”

America was greater when it funded a world class weather service and not an alligator infested concentration camp and secret police. .

My translator tells me "thoughts & prayers" is an American political expression that means "we'd rather have a secret police force than a weather service".

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

who could have foreseen that cutting disaster preparedness was a bad idea?

Elissa Slotkin isn't getting primaried anytime soon—she's not up for re-election until 2030. So this kind of statement from her is an unmitigatedly good thing.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

I have seen some influencer accounts calling for various types of workers to go on strike, or suggesting a boycott the workers have not asked for. Don’t do that. Listen to the workers

KXAN in AUSTIN, TX gets specific on which NWS jobs remain vacant after the Trump cuts — including “WARNING COORDINATION METEOROLOGIST” “Ensuring ample and timely warning to Central Texas counties was among the chief responsibilities.” www.kxan.com/investigatio...

Another one of those "Would be the biggest scandal in US history if any other president" stories. Shameless bribery and corruption beyond anything any other American could get away with. archive.ph/qL3F2#select...

Officeholders shouldn’t have to fear for their safety. Yet that’s increasingly the reality for so many of them. Here's what can be done to keep leaders safe: bit.ly/4b7qLLJ

We're already at "law enforcement" detaining political opponents of the regime for no reason except for that fact

The tragic disaster in Texas and the unhinged MAGA response - mostly conspiracy theories and finger pointing - should terrify everyone as we edge further into the 2025 Hurricane Season.

trump’s big beautiful bill is designed to family annihilate the united states

“This facility’s purpose fits the classic model: mass civilian detention w/o real trials targeting vulnerable groups for political gain based on ethnicity, race, religion or political affiliation rather than for crimes committed. And its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.”

We will never be silent. The Trump administration has placed 139 EPA staffers on leave after they signed a letter of dissent opposing the agency’s current direction and policies. Silencing experts won’t silence the truth.

really interesting that the vice president cites as a key intellectual influence a guy who thinks black people are natural slaves

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.

At a campaign-style rally in Iowa, Trump used an antisemitic slur while referencing unscrupulous bankers. Isn’t that the kind of thing he claims to be “fighting against”?

Here’s the true reported scandal of NYT’s scandalously bogus hit job on Mamdani spoon fed to the paper by a white supremacist shill. As thread says NYT should now cover *this* story with far greater fervor & outrage than it covered Claudine Gray - but don’t hold yr breath waiting for it to do that.

You can thank Donald Trump and Republicans for your higher grocery bills. You can thank Donald Trump and Republicans for your higher medical bills. You can thank Donald Trump and Republicans for your higher utility bills. That’s their "Big Beautiful Bill" in action.

Here’s the @nytimes defending the hit piece on Zohran with hacked material from an anonymous source that turned out to be a well-known “race scientist” 🤔 - (which they updated, sort of) It amounted to nothing anyway. Also a Snowden comp? Really? Context: www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

The Declaration of Independence and the enumeration of why America shall have no King: 1/4

Trump signs into law an unpopular, regressive bill that will take health care away from tens of millions of Americans and cut food assistance, and redistribute those funds for tax cuts geared for the wealthy

Donald Trump just signed a bill into law that'll kick 17 million people off their health care and make it harder for families to put food on the table. Republicans sold you out so billionaires can get even richer. We won't let them forget.

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

It's not only underwater. It's the second most unpopular bill in the last 30 years. (Number one is the 2017 Obamacare repeal bill.) In fact, the top three most unpopular are Trump legislation: bsky.app/profile/gell...

Nation Sets Off Fireworks To Commemorate Surviving Another Day

In honor of this year’s Independence Day, carefully read the Declaration’s charges against George III and notice how many eerily echo what the Trump regime is doing.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

This is an extreme example of what can happen to kids when their parents are brainwashed by “alternative” health snake oil. This one clearly reached the threshold of abuse and neglect, but less extreme situations play out every day. Misinformation kills.

The press has always struggled trying to cover people like Trump

On July 4, 1776, Americans declared to the world their belief in freedom, not despotism. 249 years later Americans all across the country remain true to those beliefs. YES to freedom. NO to despotism.

249 years ago, the American people declared that we weren’t going to be ruled by a mad king. As MAGA attempts to end the American experiment, we’re inspired by all of you who are organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power.

Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.

The ability to vote for over 200,000 American citizens in North Carolina is under threat because of a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration. We’re helping them fight it in court. bit.ly/3I8Qk50

Imagine. If. Biden. Said. This.

Will American democracy last 250 years? I don't know, folks.

CHARTS that show how bad Trump’s Trillions Transfer actually is: -# of uninsured ⬆️ -Debt ⬆️ -Cost of college ⬆️ -“the more you make the more you benefit” (No wonder Republicans are dancing) More: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The GOP's Fascist Plan In Action America, despite all its sins & flaws, was able to maintain a democracy for nearly 250 years. Unfortunately, Republican extremists, racists, & billionaires had other plans. With @daniellemoodie.bsky.social thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-gops-f...

#Republicans can Never be trusted again! The GOP is dead and all that remains is the Weak & Cowardly MAGA Party that does everything their Cult leader says! It’s Pitiful! This is a dark day in American History!!! #ElonMusk this is Your fault! Vote them all Out!

Today, Republicans made clear they are more afraid of Trump than the People. They’ve pledged allegiance not to America, but to the Trump regime and its billionaire backers. This is a betrayal—and a mistake. America is resilient, and the people will not go quietly. This fight has only just begun.

July 4 1776 - July 3 2026, RIP

The GOP has cut Medicaid, but found money for ICE, which now has a bigger budget than the militaries of most foreign countries. No schools, but more private prisons and concentration camps for US citizens and immigrants.

This is a monstrous bill, a declaration of war on American families. It guts our services to fund giveaways to billionaires and exponentially scale up Trump's personal secret police force. We'll hold Rs who passed it accountable and we'll fight every step of the way to protect those it harms.

Run on the most left and progressive policy ever. FDR on steroids. Bernie on steroids. More AOCs and Zohrans. Do not yield a single inch to centrist scolds
