TODAY: People around are protesting Trump’s illegal war. And police around the country are on high alert.
“There always seems to be money for war, and these wars are always fought on the backs of working people.”
Wondering if the media would've chosen "honored" as the verb if Obama had saluted fallen soldiers in a fucking baseball cap
What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and it’s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.
🚨 Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.
Watch all of this.
Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space
I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.
Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
"From launching an illegal war with no clear strategy to obstructing a DHS inspector general, here’s what Trump and his allies did this week that harm democracy, undermine the Constitution, and hurt societies worldwide"
From Zeteo's 'This Week in Democracy':
We’re…paying Russia to kill Americans?
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Democrats overwhelmingly oppose this war, but there are warning signs that they won’t have the mettle to force it to an end, if the opportunity arises. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter
After the DOGE group showed up but before MPD arrived, the USIP building had been placed in lockdown mode, meaning all interior doors were locked and elevators were no longer operable. So once in the building, MPD needed to manually break down interior doors to give Trump's team full access.
Florida’s Board of Governors is made up of “political appointees from the business world, from insurance executives to roofing contractors, who are dictating how professors must teach their courses and even providing state-created textbooks for doing so.”
My new piece in @truthout.bsky.social
Great planning.
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) would not rule out using voter data for immigration enforcement during a federal hearing in Minnesota, but said such data was not currently being used. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Wow. The corruption and self-dealing is boundless — in the billions.
@whitehouse.senate.gov did a VERY long speech of Trump and Epstein's ties w/Russia yesterday.

This is the first indication that another U.S. adversary has entered the spiralling regional conflict in the Middle East—and it’s the one with nuclear capabilities and an extensive intelligence network. trib.al/2ogjpvh
Disastrous Job Report, Russia Is Helping Iran Attack The US, The War Is Spinning Out Of Control
Our addled and desperate leader is putting America and the world into grave danger - Democrats must fight to force a course correction......

It’s up to all of us to document what's happening in our communities so we can demand accountability for ICE's abuses.
We have your questions about the right to record federal agents answered.
Telling courts that refunds would be "automatic" and "assured" was the government's way of avoiding emergency relief.
Instead of elevating the next generation of Black leaders, they hang on and often get primaried by younger non-Black candidates. Not a good situation. Further exacerbated by the weakening of the VRA
Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.
Yes. A MILLION.
This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

WAPO: “.. Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.”

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
So question, does anyone know where Brian McGinnis, the veteran who had his arm broken for protesting, is right now? Is he in the hospital? Jail? Has he seen a lawyer? I feel like he’s been disappeared entirely.
