OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣

It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again.

What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay

Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

😡 no kings.
“J.D. Vance offered some unsolicited advice to Chief Justice John Roberts the other day: the federal courts need to be more deferential to Presidential authority, and the Sup. Court must do a better job of keeping lower-court judges in line.”

My advice: stop breaking the law!!

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" cuts Medicaid.

Cuts to health care for babies and new moms.

Cuts to heath care for seniors in nursing homes.

Cuts to health care for rural hospitals.

Cuts to health care for people with disabilities.

Republicans in Congress approved these cuts.

Fight like hell.
And that’s why the provision snuck into the budget bill attempting to eliminate contempt of court orders is so important to them. And so important for us to stop.

Why are accepting this? Secret police?
Here's a picture that a @kuow.org photographer took in Seattle yesterday, showing the ICE officers masked up in the hallways as they waited to arrest people coming out of their hearings.

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

NO KINGS DAY!
On June 14—Trump wants tanks in the street & a TV spectacle for his birthday. Real power isn’t staged in Washington, it rises up everywhere else.
No Kings is a national day of defiance. From big cities to small towns, we’re taking action & showing the world what democracy looks like.

This is immensely messed up.
NEW: reports today from @l-toczylowski.bsky.social and others that ICE has begun efforts to dismiss cases pending in immigration court for less than two years — so that they can then immediately arrest the same people and put them through “expedited removal,” skipping the court process entirely.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
