The Trump admin has come to bluesky. These new accounts for gov agencies are not run by anyone we know in the agencies and have all started off with Hatch Act violations. In true bsky fashion, I'll be blocking the lot of them rather than giving them any engagement.

Thou shalt not let billionaires destroy all of your lives to satiate their infinite greed. Thou shalt rise up and tax them over 50%.

Reminder: this country literally had a revolution because they didn’t want to pay tariffs on tea! Tariffs are in the Constitution—and Congress has the power, not a wannabe king with a spray tan. Just sayin.

The Trump administration is rescinding the Roadless Rule, a decades-old policy that has protected 6.4 million acres of forest service land in Montana from being developed. You can read more about the Roadless Rule and what losing it may mean for Montana here: bit.ly/3ThKpgq

BREAKING: Massive ICE raid ongoing at a farm in Camarillo, Ventura County, CA. Local news reports that an unknown number of workers have been detained. Almost 20% of US strawberries come from the county. US food supply at risk from Trump’s fascist thugs & Stephen Miller’s quota.

Red flag: The IRS has said in a court filing that churches and other houses of worship can endorse political candidates from the pulpit — carving out an exemption in a decades-old ban on political activity by tax-exempt nonprofits.

PAY ATTENTION: L.A. just got a little preview of what’s coming. No arrests. No real “threat.” Just cops in riot armor playing soldier. Martial law isn’t a conspiracy anymore, it’s a countdown.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

ICE kidnappings, the Big Beautiful Bill still need our attention. Keep protesting, calling your reps, because this is something you have control over. Iran is the biggest ever diversion from all the other horrible, evil, unconstitutional shit trump is inflicting on the country.

Sure, keep walking, but don’t forget to chew gum too. He thinks you can only watch one thing at a time. Make sure you spend some time, attention, and clicks-etc. on the other things going on right now that still matter too. He’s counting on you losing focus. Don’t.

“‘If this were done under regular order, it would be referred to the appropriate committee and there would be hearings and ample opportunity for public input and refinement,’ Quigley said, ‘but trying to slam it through under reconciliation is just a recipe for bad legislation.’”

Lee’s greed was a tactical blunder. Call the Senate tomorrow. They’re weak on this. 📞 (202) 224-3121 www.usa.gov/elected-offi... “Lee drew strong condemnation from many of his fellow conservatives in particular, who have slammed the proposed sell-off as a betrayal of the American people.”

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

I 💯 % agree with this. They want Trump out and Vance in. Vance is fully vested in P2025 and under Vought and Thiel sway. There would be no stopping them then.

The online feud is amusing, yes, but it’s no accident. If you haven’t already heard of Dark MAGA you need to learn. The plan has always been to replace the dunce. The evil psychopaths taking over our country are playing us. Please do not be distracted. www.commondreams.org/opinion/dark...

Elon & Trump are fighting now, but they were thick as thieves when they were looting the country. Don’t let the billionaire breakup distract you.

What did I say? They started with immigrants. Next comes citizens they consider low hanging fruit. Disabled citizens are on deck y’all. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

FYI - From one of my chat groups: Please inform all contacts from your list not to open a video called the “Dance of the Hillary”. It is a cyber attack from Pakistan. Beware it is very dangerous. They announced it today on BBC radio.

thank you congresswoman!!!

Lincoln Square@lincolnsquare.media

Public lands belong to present and future generations. They are part of our historic national treasure and need to be protected. But Trump and MAGA Republicans want to hand over our protected public lands to the highest bidder, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury isn’t having any of it.
