Beyond parody.

We have an attorney general who is covering up the Epstein Files and a President who is proud he could identify a giraffe

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.

Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

Protesters took to the streets on Saturday to protest a Border Patrol operation that began in Charlotte, North Carolina. The operation, named Charlotte’s Web, was expected to last at least one week. Today's scheduled rally is expected to be bigger as folks watched ICE raids starting in the city.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.

They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

Kristi Noem is telling bald-faced lies about ICE arrests.

More than 70% of those detained have no criminal convictions.

170+ of those arrested or detained have been American citizens.

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad.

They didn’t misrepresent anything.

Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Gentle reminder - Erica Chenoweth's peaceful resistance number of 3.5% for _sustained_ protest- generally stops govt from functioning and forces it to leave / resign/ call elections.
#NoKings is effective for many things, but not sufficient alone for regime change

Everyone should listen to this.

It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now.

This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.
The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

This is dedicated to all the great people who will be protesting tomorrow.

Tonight's song selection is from Woody Guthrie - All You Fascists, 1942.

"I'm gonna tell all you fascists you may be surprised
The people in this world are getting organized.".

Stay safe, have fun! Goodnight Bluesky! 💙

What a pity. The unwashed masses will again have to learn the lesson of how bad socialism is by us telling them how bad it is, violently preventing them from getting it, and blaming current problems on it anyway.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.
