In Pam Bondi's America bakers may refuse to make cakes for gay or trans people, medical pros may refuse to provide women with complete healthcare, military personnel may refuse vaccination orders—all for "religous" or "conscience" reasons—but an Office Depot employee may not refuse to print a flyer.

The city of Boston estimates that if all 8,000 of its bus stops featured living roofs, it would amount to about 17 acres of green space — that’s the size of nearly 13 football fields. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...
How these green bus stops help bees and communities
A green bus stop movement is installing plants on bus shelters, providing habitats for pollinators and countering the urban heat-island effect.

Trump is planning a crackdown on anti-conservative thought and speech to cripple the opposition and rig the 2026 elections. If you want to support Democracy Docket's pro-democracy mission, now would be a great time to sign up. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

America is waking up!

Rep. Ashley Hinson got heckled at her own town hall in Decorah after praising Donald Trump and the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed the House.

This really *is* Liberation Day: The U.S. Court of International Trade this afternoon struck down Trump’s mass tariffs as unlawful. It’s a fantastic win for the rule of law, human freedom, and prosperity, and a deserved rebuke for arbitrary one-man rule over our livelihoods. /1

Cause: Trump and DOGE laid off air traffic controllers and FAA safety personnel.

Effect:

- A shortage of 3,000 air traffic controllers nationwide

- perpetual delays at major airports

- thousands of flights cancelled due to staff shortages and safety concerns

BREAKING: Rand Paul calls out his own party for tripping over themselves to approve the largest debt ceiling hike in U.S. history. $5 TRILLION.

The same clowns who call food stamps “socialism” are out here writing blank checks to defense contractors. Every. Damn. Time.

Don’t blame me, I voted for both of the supremely qualified female presidential candidates who warned everyone this would all happen if the evil diabolical felon was gifted power. I remain proud AF and my conscience cleared.

Just send the interns. White House press corps doesn’t mean what it used to.
-Trump bans the AP from the White House press pool

-Judge orders AP be allowed back into the pool

-Trump admin continues to block AP from the pool, and then censors the pool report noting the AP was turned away.

Great reporting from

"Sometimes you gotta have flexibility."

-Donald Trump

That's his way of sidestepping what most people would have said. "Yeah. I ran my mouth and said "NEVER" less than 24 hours ago. I'm full of shit."

Words can’t express enough outrage…3rd graders grabbed by ICE, handcuffed, put in confined space with adult criminals

8 year olds. Children. Not criminals.

Stop this! NOW
OMG - a third grader! This is unconscionable actions by people with very evil black souls. An 8 yr old should never be someone's pawn.

The SAVE Act, explained fully in this thread, is up for vote this Thursday. The burdens are extreme. Under this bill, most Americans wouldn’t be able to register to vote using their driver’s license or state-provided ID alone.

Here’s why this fascist bill is a massive voter suppression tool.
