If Tony is short for Anthony, where'd the h go? Resist fascism. Equality for all.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

It just dawned on me: if they pass the "Save His Ass Act," it will be easier to buy a gun in America than it is to vote. You need to show less ID to buy a gun than to vote.

Trump is in the process of bankrupting the United States, while ensuring his family and buddies are making millions playing the oil markets. Don't act surprised. Look at his bankrupted or folded casinos, steak business, airline, university, etc. He did for America what he did to his businesses.

Another question for any thinkers out there; Why are “we the people” paying $60bn to $100bn+ every year to have a congress who is on vacation 90% of the time, and refuses to do anything “FOR“ we the people??!?!? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

A reminder that last week, Pam Bondi accidentally released a Jack Smith memo revealing Trump’s motive for stealing and illegally retaining classified documents.

When Trump couldn’t get Congress to pass the SAVE Act to federalize elections, he just ignored Congress and signed an executive order. Again. And now we are back to the courts with more lawsuits. Again. Non-stop chaos is his brand.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Elon Musk's net worth went up $187 BILLION in 2025. In the same year, Trump illegally took $1,700 in taxes out of your pocket, cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, and doubled your health care costs.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled: Voters as “Votors” Emergency as "Emeregency" United States as "United Staes" And, it included a non-party in the caption. These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Many, many years ago, before I enlisted in the army, I was advised to read the Constitution. To REALLY read it. ‘If you’re going to swear to defend it, if the possibility is there to lose your life defending it, you should know what it says.’ More people should have received this advice.

@profootballtalk.bsky.social it can be done Florio.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Watching how swiftly other countries have moved on people implicated in the Epstein files as our POTUS & most of his cabinet just shrug & persist really underscores how far we’ve fallen as a country…not the good guys anymore. At least not until our government is disinfected of this Trumpian filth.
