Guys, this is URGENT. The Senate will vote this week on whether a Chilean billionaire copper miner / trump buddy can poison the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area forever. This is not just a Minnesota issue. Please call your senators and tell them to vote NO on this. It’s forever.

Re the Gatsby party, the vulgar marble bathroom, the overall horrible taste, all outward expressions of serious inner ugliness: “If you want to know what God thinks about money just look at the people He gives it to.” ― Alexander Pope

So they fired all the federal employees who kept the skies safe and the air clean and the justice system working because “fraud and waste” which they couldn’t find. And they’re hiring a gazillion ICE goons to torture human beings at the cost of many billions. What a waste. What a fraud.

Christofascists taking away SNAP should remember these words of Gandhi's: "There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of food."

After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics the next year. Almost half of nations joined. I sure wish the globe would look at the self-invasion we have going on here and skip the World Cup in 2026. You're all in danger of being rounded up anyway.

If you can keep it. We didn’t.

Yes, millions will lose health care so billionaires pay less taxes. But the really big deal is: millions will lose health care SO THE GOP CAN BUILD A POLICE STATE. It’s partway built already. Why isn’t this the framing of this? Why aren’t we screaming about this? Why is there even a GOP?

My son has a genetic condition that means he MUST have continuous health insurance because of the risk of a bad flareup. He had Medicaid this spring while he diligently searched for a job (& is now working). ANYONE might need it at any time! Why rip up this safety net? Other than sheer cruelty?

These billionaires are all just useful idiots to this moron and the rotten people propping him up.

Somebody suggested Alligator Auschwitz. A prison people are sent to without due process is a concentration camp.

This is the actual whole game.

I'm a little discouraged that relatively little of the conversation around this stupid fucking bill is about the massive billions in added ICE funding. These nazis are already tormenting hard-working immigrants, but more detainees are needed to inflate trump's ego. We are ALL at risk. Get it?

People are already dying around the world from the loss of US aid for medicines. Immigrants are dying in ICE facilities. And now the GOP brings it to little kids, families, mothers, our elders. God damn all Republicans to hell. There are no good ones left.

This horrifying alleged man is the only reason my daily prayers have an element of “and yet”

Concentration camps trump everything else. Got it, you twisted gargoyle.

Actual people, with parents, kids, people who love and count on them, are dying NOW because the US no longer helps them get AIDS medication they can't otherwise afford. trump did that when he decided it was too expensive & we needed the money for concentration camps. A death cult full of ghouls.

This also means make sure early that you are registered to vote and can get to the poll, since the GOP has made it harder in many areas.

I would just love to see this in action. Would invest in blue paint. 😅

OUR money, to be used to terrorize and torture OUR neighbors.

Immigrants are not bad. Not scary. Not lazy. Not a drain on society. They just serve as scapegoats for Stephen Miller's self-loathing because he is a genuinely loathsome gargoyle who wants to blame someone else for his failure as a human.

Shoveling OUR money at masked goons to terrorize human beings. Helping no one but their rich sponsors. That's the GOP in 2025.

"With Supreme Court Ruling, Another Check on President Trump's Power Fades" --NYT Make that "another check on ANY president's power." Who thought things could be worse than trump 1? And here we are. The next gargoyle could be far worse, in ways we can't even imagine. SCOTUS has left us helpless.

How could Amy Coney Barrett put birthright citizenship at such risk when she has kids born in another country? can someone explain how kids born elsewhere would be safer than those born here? She must be a truly shitty mother.

In memory of the Hortmans and Gilbert.

Yes!

What if Democratic leaders started referring to things like the military, bridges & dams, roads, utilities, support for farmers, etc. as socialist? Re-educate people to the beauty of shared services. Stop letting the idiot right use socialism as a swear word. We are smarter than that. (Aren’t we?)

Garbage bill!

What is TF up with the SCOTUS Stenchy Six? They aren't even looking at the law or precedent. They're just making shit up, and hurting a whole lot of people. I know they like the RVs and stuff they get from far-right funders, but SCOTUS justices are actually supposed to rise above bribery.

London seems to be surviving just fine with a Muslim lefty mayor. NYC oligarchs pipe TF down

Will national democrats learn anything from NYC? We’ll see. Wel’l hope so. Meanwhile, petty me is enjoying gloating over the demise of an entitled woman-disrespecting establishment-endorsed bullying male.

“…strategic malpractice by a sclerotic Democratic party and political media that again and again chooses to foreclose on its next generation’s ability to build a power base for the future…” Yes, read this!

wait, WHO is playing right into the hands of the enemy, you evil gasbag moron?

I was on a jury where a guy was charged w/ assaulting a police officer. He indeed pounded the shit out of a police officer. We had to find him not guilty, bc the officer was in plain clothes, & for the charge to stick, defendant would have had to know for sure the victim was an officer. Just saying

OMG RIGHT!?!?!? I can never believe the nonsense "journalists" just let pass by without nailing their subject to the wall on it. Basic follow-up questions could save the Republic, but of course our puppy-brained compatriots might get bored and change the channel, so nope.

“Burdensome leadership” that the people of California *chose and elected*. Fuck Noem. Fuck her crappy boss. She and these vicious thugs should be thrown in jail.

Exactly!

Demonizing immigrants--> ICE raids --> protests --> military response --> more protests --> martial law --> CANCELLATION OF ELECTIONS. This is their end game. Protest peacefully. Get it all on video. Don't give a single excuse to these fascist ghouls to escalate.

This is just setting the stage to cancel elections. We all see it, don’t we?

Will never understand why anyone buys the right wing fearmongering about immigrants. Nevernevernever. It's all lies.

If I had to pick between impeaching trump and impeaching Alito and Thomas, I'd choose them. trump is a stupid buffoon. They are too, but are inflicting longer-lasting destruction.

And trump, share what you REALLY did to help Putin

"We are all going to die" should make everyone kinder and care more about each other. Not be more GOP selfish. We are all mortal, which makes the moment in time we share as conscious beings on this planet all the more precious. Basically: what Jesus said when he said "love thy neighbor."

Our bodies belong to the government, according to this regime. Some “party of limited government.” Whatever group thinks it’s exempt: you’re next.

Can someone please explain how it is legal for masked unidentified people to arrest and haul away other people? I am asking seriously. Is this in fact legal in this country? If so, what stops any of us from "arresting" people we don't like? If not, who can sue to stop this?

Cowards and bullies on an inhuman scale.

Republicans hate and fear women.
