What????? I hate the chaos, corruption, cruelty of drumpf & minions.

California is one of the most environmentally conscious states, yet they found this month that 26 dog illnesses—including 5 deaths—were caused by the toxins produced by algae blooms in the Venice canals. Why are we OK with this level of pollution? Trump will accelerate it. abc7.com/post/algae-t...

Florida’s immigrant detention crisis isn’t a failure—it’s the blueprint. Engineered cruelty. State-sanctioned abuse. DeSantis turned the state into a test lab for authoritarianism—and now it’s spreading. You won’t believe what they’ve gotten away with. social.demcast.com/s/Dk6aQBQR

Emmer would apparently benefit from the very law he voted against, but can't remember why.

This seems important as the RW narrative spin is doubling down on trans community. But facts seldom matter to these assholes!

Again, when Trump says the US is being "invaded" ... well, say it with me: Everything out of Trump's mouth is a lie and/or projection/confession

Unacceptable.

"And that is why they are winning. They don’t let their individual feelings of powerlessness stop them from using what power they have maximally. They don’t despair—they get angry." A good call to action for the tough months/ years ahead:

"Commodified alternative medicine is an ideology." Correct. It is political not medical. And, anything political evolves (devolves) rapidly to do-re-mi. thewalrus.ca/wellness-ind...

Lots of Republican pearl clutching for sure! 😅

Republicans is Congress - MAGAS - have given Trump his own military. #believeit

Trump “retruthed” an image, which appears to have him holding a "Q+” sign in the palm of his hand. “Nothing can stop what is coming.” It’s just the kind of scam Trump likes to run, reigniting the Q conspiracy theory that I’m sure we all fervently hoped we’d seen the last of after the 2020 election.

He probably wants Trump dead as much as we do, for obvious different purposes. We want Vance gone too.

My friends, if you are — as I am, working on your vat of coffee to prepare for another day in the life of 2025… be advised, you may need a content warning for this picture of health. 💪🏼🫀

Release the Epstein files!!

I’d guess he’s a covert vaxxer.

"The backlash against Kennedy's vaccine views [and his horrific actions] is sucking the air out of his more popular food agenda." We do want healthy food, and it needs to be AFFORDABLE. But your vaccine shenanigans are hurting the healthy food movement.

Raddatz exemplifies mainstream media continuing to parrot MAGA talking points to ask questions yet do not follow up on same line of questioning with their MAGA guests. Gov Wes Moore put a lid to her nonsense.

Happy Sunday and Mamma’s birthday! I was very good and didn’t make any messes to wake her up! #ContessaLucia

It's not a special military operation. It's a war that Russia started, unprovoked.

Burned alive… nypost.com/2025/08/28/b...

Gorka has become the Deputy Assistant and senior counter-terrorism advisor to Trump again. He had been forced out of the Trump regime in 2017. He makes Stephen Miller look like a choirboy. He could be the most unifying topic since the Epstein Files.

Omg 😮😆

WTAF!? Seriously, when have we had enough!? Asking for a falling nation. 🤷🏼

Honored to give remarks yesterday on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, tragic period not just in Europe but also across Asia under the brutal occupation of Japan. At a time of rising authoritarianism, we must remember that our freedom, democracy, and peace were hard fought and won.

Republicans are just backward-thinking, controlling and manipulating from way back. We visited Iceland a couple of years ago. They use their geothermal energy to power electricity, hot water, and heat. Perhaps we could as well.

Pet peeve time: Ignoring the premise/obvious insanity of Lankford's full reply for a moment, that whole "I believe he's who the president picked" is not an answer to anything. "I believe he picked"? Uh, he picked RFK Jr. Nobody's belief, fact. So that non-answer was as stupid as his next statement.

Yesterday I posted a video that shows the scene yesterday leaving the white house and there were many issues with the WH version! Dates! License plates! Etc.. I was called a flat earther! 🤦🏼 After all the bizarre shit; assassination attempts, files bs, health, etc.. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! Seriously.😒

Obtaining a Covid shot this fall will be more complicated for many. Persistence will be needed but getting one doesn't have to be impossible. www.denverpost.com/2025/08/27/c...

Trump doesn't see "allies" or "adversaries," he sees accomplices in anyone who he can use for his own profit, power. They end up using him.

Resist! They want you to believe their lies and that the demise of democracy is inevitable. tRumpty-dumpty’s "strategy is always to overwhelm and even horrify people, in hopes that it will be too much." open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Hey look 👀 Another vaccine that protects against more than an infection…wouldn’t you want to be protected from cardiovascular disease & stroke?

In case you were wondering, mRNA vaccines are not really new 👇🏽

Always happy to help! 😅

"Felons against crime" isn't the best party slogan, correct.

I wish Republicans were as outraged that Trump is ignoring court orders, using ICE as his Gestapo, and is using the military against US citizens, as they were that time Michelle Obama wore a sleeveless dress. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
