JFC. I'm so tired of being angry all the time, but it's just one heinous story like this one after another these days.

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

Not destroying food meant for starving people is woke, y'all.

"The Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it. Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow." Yep. The pro-life party of evangelical Christians.

🚨 Farm workers are striking July 16–18 They demand an end to ICE raids & a path to citizenship for every undocumented worker who feeds this country. They strike in honor of Jaime Alanís, who died fleeing abductors. ❌ Don’t shop. ❌ Don’t work. 🔥 Stand with them.

Maybe the General Strike could be targeted. Farm workers apparently on strike July 16 to 18th Then Grocery store clerks Waitstaff Retail Boutique Auto repair Sanitation workers Etc...

As a former US Delegate to the UN, I saw firsthand how American leadership shapes the world. Now, as we fire our diplomats and slash our diplomatic presence, I see who is celebrating: Beijing and Moscow. Trump's policy is a gift to our strategic rivals.

What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

A huge tax break snuck into Trump & the GOP's big ugly bill would allow private jet owners to write off the full cost of their planes in the first year of purchase. Meanwhile, the law will cause millions to lose food assistance and healthcare. "Party of the working class."

TX Republican Governor Greg Abbott visited #CampMystic & says he won’t stop until every girl is found Has he checked on this man who is immobile, in hospice, surrounded by rising water? Was he rescued? Of course Abbott hasn’t checked on him Republicans cheered when Doge fired 600 NWS employees

Trump sent the National Guard to California for a fake crisis—no fires, no floods, no emergency. But Texans facing real disaster? Nothing. No help. No compassion. It’s not about red or blue. It’s about Trump’s racism and the fact that he just doesn’t give a damn.

Best to buy your weapons from someone you trust. Is our defense industry worried about losing sales? Or are they assuming Trump will inevitably get us into new wars soon and they'll collect from our own defense budget?

Angus: Canadians need to be really ready. We are upping our investment in military spending significantly. We are now procuring from the Europeans—whereas before, we would have just gone to the United States as usual to buy gear. We’re not buying gear from the United States.

This is from an actual Republican Congressman, from the party that is also locking kids in cages in a concentration camp in Florida, hoping they try to escape and get eaten by alligators. This is today's Republican Party.

This is an enormous restructuring of our nation and what it stands for. Beyond our ability to fathom….

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

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.

With the new SCOTUS ruling, they are allowing people to have different rights in different parts of the country depending on how your local judge rules. I suspect this will cause mass exodus from the places with less rights (red states) & also blue state people will avoid red states. Thoughts?

Senator, gum the works. Force the bill to be read loud in its full gory detail.

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.

$10 a day keeps a kid healthy on Medicaid. Meanwhile, Republicans want to hand $6 million per billionaire. This is theft in broad daylight—and kids will pay the price. 📞 Keep calling your senators: (202) 224-3121 Don’t give up. Flood the phones. #MedicaidSavesOurLives
