vivek’s a republican, shouldn’t he be better at grabbing kids

@kairyssdal.bsky.social , can you weigh in on Trump and bananas?

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

I just assumed Fox would broadcast the Republican convention in Dallas.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Trump has done more harm to America in the last 10 years than Russia, N Korea and Iran in the last 50 years.

Happy #FathersDay

The Secretary of Defense is… A - afraid of answering questions B - incompetent and unqualified C - a blowhard and an empty suit D - deeply damaging to this democracy Choose 4

The King is mad

The Ayatollah of Iran is threatening to release videos of Trump with children if Trump actually launches a full scale bombing campaign against Iran.

decades-long manhunt finally ends

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @senangusking.bsky.social @hassan.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THE SHUTDOWN @schumer.senate.gov A "PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE" MEANS THAT PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

I will not only blame the Senate Democrats who are caving. I will blame them all. They needed to keep their ranks in order. If this happens, it's the most spineless political retreat imaginable and it will harm millions upon millions of Americans. Chickenshit, self-neutering nonsense. Cowards.

Pathetic. This isn’t a deal. It’s a surrender. Don’t bend the knee!

@durbin.senate.gov, @duckworth.senate.gov Do not ... DO NOT ... settle for any deal to open the government that doesn't extend ACA support. A "deal" at some point to have a vote you KNOW is going to lose is an abdication and just makes Senate Democrats look like they put us through this for nothing.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

There was an old man named Trump Who’s popularity was down in the dump So he met President Putin Who said he’d just keep shooting’ And made Trump slump like a chump

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵 First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Today, the Governor of Iowa signed a bill removing gender identity as a protected class in state law, the first time any state has removed a protected class in our country’s history. Trans youth in Iowa: I know you’re scared, but I want you to know that many people love you as you are.
