Think fascism isn’t here still??

t.co/J3WrTUtc8E Next move to drown the working class. Know who doesn’t suffer when unexpected illness strikes? 1%. Now your interest rate will go up on next car to get you to job to pay $50/month for hospital bill. Slow bleed on those in least position to pay. Chronic illness=financial death spiral

She’s going to help him flip the script

Look familiar? We’re here and if you think we’ll just oust them in the mid terms, you’ve learned nothing from the current assault and what they’re capable of doing. The fire hoses will be turned on voter suppression like we can’t imagine.

Just saw @nicollewallace.bsky.social do a story on this on her show. Riveting and a painful reminder that things are getting worse and we ALL need to know how to stand up. As a baseball mom I’m inspired by this coach but more so as an American dedicated to freedom www.westsiderag.com/2025/07/10/a...

Imagine this! The “Big Beautiful Bill” gives ICE $170 billion to lock people up and build walls, but only $150 billion for the entire US Marines to fight wars, house troops, and support families. Because nothing says “secure nation” like funding cages over combat.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

And the band played on. We talk about it yet tolerate it. Where are the leaders doing anymore than talking? I see a few stepping up but until they mobilize the people into action many are becoming desensitized. People actually protesting the environmental impacts of ‘alligator Alcatraz’ not the camp

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.

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

A part of the BBB that was being under reported with dire consequences.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

Hard to argue with that.

This can not stand

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

This person is sadistic criminal

What a day. What a country! 💪

This is a real exchange I just had:

Can’t even make this up anymore. It’s a four seasons landscaping moment for me www.thebulwark.com/p/newsmax-is...

Is Congress ready to take back their article one power and do their jobs yet?

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

What Senator Corey Booker is doing right now is not only standing in the moment but also taking the record from Strom Thurmond who held the filibuster record standing against the Civil rights act. Bravo Sen Booker Someone get him on Bluesky!

Double checked my memory on the war crime in question, yup article 13 of the Geneva convention....you can't use prisoners of war in propoganda.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

This story can NOT get swallowed up by the signal story. This is appalling

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Exactly

This is one of the most dangerous threats to date This disgrace of a Speaker is finally looking to use Article 1 power and it is to weaken the only branch fighting back against the Executive overreach. Judiciary is only branch functioning in the checks and balances. This is a diabolical assault

the larger issue: Rs are dangerously incompetent- on DOGE, on economy, on natl security. They don't care enough about America to get it remotely right.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Can you say the same?! 🤚 I’ll. Never. Understand. ✨

Hmm. Wondering if former Environmental attorney RFK Jr is enjoying seeing the cost of selling his soul, in real time

It’s my daily “he can’t do that” repost but here we are with him doing it

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Where’s the big “deal maker “ now?? How about condemnation from Little Moscow Marco?

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Facts

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Kaine: "You can talk about sending education back to the states. Yeah, that's where we were before Brown v. Board of Education. The states got to decide, and the states made a hell of a lot of decisions that were really awful."
