And as such the R party should end when we get to the other side of this mess. They can rebuild if they want, but the GOP as we know it should be dead and buried if only as an apology to the ppl who remained sane while sitting repugs turned into aggressively destructive sycophants b4 our very eyes.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

They've all immigrated to Washington D.C. They're not from Washington D.C. or natives of D.C. They're not the founders. Not even home owners in D.C.. They're Government dependents. They immigrated to D.C. seeking opportunity. They're all temporary guest workers in D.C. This is exactly what they are.

Don’t talk yourself into believing this is legitimate or normal. That’s exactly what he wants and how fascism survives.

Resist by recognizing SM is NOT making laws. Do not make any of this easier for them. Make them work for every single thing they take from us.💪🏽💪🏽✌🏾

Major disasters caused $101 billion in damages in the first half of 2025 — the costliest six month period on record.

How do we know? A nonprofit had to take over NOAA’s work tracking disasters, which Trump gutted.

What else doesn’t he want us to know?

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

found scapegoat in immigrants for 70s issues of oil prices, inflation, unemployment and drugs. Republicans found a “border security” scare tactic worked very well for them in elections, esp in the south, and voila an ongoing ‘border crisis’ was born.

🇧 🇴 🇧 🇧 🇮 🇳 🇵 🇴 🇳 🇾 🇹 🇦 🇮 🇱 @bobbinponytail.bsky.social · 9h

Prior to the 70s, the border was not a crisis. Curiously, seeds of what is happening now were planted in 70s.
Also, Bracero program ended, which had been a labor win-win for Mex&US. Civil Rights mvmt bent rich, white noses out of shape. So politicians ⬇️

Stark difference in pov tends to reflect the difference in ppl who have been caregivers in some way. Many men & most ultra wealthy have had no such exposure & it shows.

Seems men&rich need fewer hobbies & more accountability. And to be on Humanity’s Most Dangerous list.

Good morning.

It's been 31 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

It will provide an excellent opportunity to remind people of all the reasons why Donald Trump should he serving a long federal prison term.

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?

Let the American people see & hear for themselves!
