The Obama Appreciation continues... #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

This isn’t left vs right. It’s corrupt GOP vs the people who earned their benefits. Demand members of Congress pledge: no benefit cuts, no higher retirement age, no privatization. Fund Social Security by making millionaires pay their fair share. #HandsOffSocialSecurity #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

MS NOW: A Texas Air Force base is grappling with a major flu outbreak just weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dropped the military's flu vaccine requirement. Are we great yet? 🙄 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Baller Alert: JD Vance spent part of his memoir press tour this week guaranteeing that Trump would outscore nearly every president in American history on an IQ test. Trump thinks the Revolutionary War was fought with planes, but sure JD.😅 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

1/ Eighty cities just told Flock to take its license plate cameras and go. No viral moment, no executive order. Just residents reading contracts, showing up at council meetings, and voting the dragnet out. Here is how they did it. You can do it, too🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocrac

If the water in the Reflection Pool gets any nastier, RFK Jr. will want to swim in it with his grandchildren. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

1/ We worry about cameras the gov't installs. Meanwhile millions of us willingly strap a sensor to our wrist every morning & pay for the privilege. Researchers ranked 17 wearables on privacy.Three big names landed at the bottom. Wearables are tracking you #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

1/ Twelve cents. That is what one record costs on a US servicemember or even you. Home address, health, finances, location. Duke researchers ran the experiment and one purchase routed through a foreign .asia domain. Our troops & you are for sale. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

1/ A lot of cities banned facial recognition and a lot of people relaxed. They should not have. Police moved to a new system. It does not need to see your face. It tracks your body. Your gait, your build, your bag, your clothes. 🧵 Big Brother is Watching #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Atlanta Black Star News: During the G7 Summit in France, Trump placed his left hand on Brigitte Macron and leaned toward her face, when she quickly stepped back, creating an uncomfortable public moment. Trump is a walking HR violation. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

"Sherrod Brown has always fought for working Ohioans." -Mark Schmiehausen, President of Teamsters Local 20, representing nearly 5,000 hardworking men and women across Northwest Ohio. That's the kind of endorsement that matters.

These fucktards never ask what the people will be doing while their robots take all our jobs away. This is exactly why they will go the way of dinosaurs. A meteor is coming.

Every generation has a choice. Sit on the sidelines? Or carry the torch forward? John Lewis chose the fight. Our ancestors chose the fight. Now it's our turn. #GoodTrouble Weekend of Action July 17-19. Will you stand with us? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

They trashed the White House, used the entire federal government to promote this spectacle, and they only got 7 million viewers? For context, not only is this a lot less than other fights, the Puppy Bowl drew 15.3 million viewers this year.

Oh the reflecting pool was definitely vandalized; but it was by Trump and his incompetent no-bid contractor. Not only did they waste taxpayer money, they lied about costs and embezzled the rest. Like Trump, we should stiff him. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AoKWtjpinSby...

Remember to use this again for Nov midterms! Billionaires don't stand at the gas pump watching their money drain away. They don't care about your grocery costs, your mortgages, your jobs, healthcare for you and your family, your freedoms. Vote the GOP OUT! Tax the billionaires! TY Lincoln Project!

Eddie (Xmas Vacation): "Sh#tter was full!" It's drain the swamp time, again. Trump paid $14 million to a no-bid contractor to fill the once stately Reflecting Pool - with algae and peeling paint. What a disgrace. For what? $14 million could have helped a lot of people. Happy freaking birthday, USA!

🧵 NEW: US senators launched an investigation on Thursday into the White House, demanding answers about about the Trump administration awarding low-competition federal contracts to an event planning firm that organized Trump's Jan 6 incitement rally. Freedom 250 Trump rally is set for Wed, June 24.

“In a series of memes posted on social media, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and the Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (ADLCC) have framed the stakes for Arizonans in the 2026 election.” #Pinks #MomSky #ProudBlue blogforarizona.net/arizona-gove...

“Authoritarian and unconstitutional detention for no significant public risk is arbitrary & unjust”, said Gostin, health law professor at Georgetown Univ. law center. “The hypocrisy is unreal.

Julie’s background has enabled her to understand the struggles of multigenerational families . She has been committed to making lives better. As congresswoman for NY-7, she will continue fighting for working families #LiveBlue #ResisranceUnited #ONEV1

A powerful reminder of when presidents could stand together, despite their differences. This moment in Chicago shows what American leadership looked like when respect and unity still mattered.

Worth noting that Fox spent this week falsely claiming that Barack Obama’s new presidential center is a waste of taxpayer money even though it’s completely paid for by private donors. But not a peep about Trump spending $1B for plane he’s taking with him …

Where will you stand? Will you be among those who raise their voices for civil rights & look injustice in the eye? Will you step up to protect the foundations of our democracy while the choice is still yours? Open the #DOOR to change. Be the one who acts. @defendersofourrepublic.org #ProudBlue

I’m starting to wonder if whoever told Donald that the phrase, “Thank you for your attention to this matter” sounds impressive on social media posts, is the same person who convinced him that slathering orange paint on his face makes him look handsome. If so, kudos for the subtle subversion. 🤣

This transcript of Michael Caputo's interview w drumpf is worth the read. While we're a bit inured to his on-screen blathering, reading the text more fully betrays his broken brain. www.axios.com/2026/06/19/t... #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy #DV1

Costs are skyrocketing. Veterans are facing healthcare gaps. Military installations are under threat. Jessica Killin is a U.S. Army veteran and experienced leader who has a plan to address these and other pressing issues facing #CO05. Elect Jessica Killin Colorado's Fifth Congressional District

This is the damage we can see. Imagine the damage we can’t see (yet).

Shame on any headline writer, news outlet or reporter who 'just got off the phone with donald trump' who runs with "Trump says there is a deal with Iran" or "Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is open." He is misleading America and if you help him do it, I don't even know what to say anymore...

Tracy Morgan’s brain is his own limit. Teachers show children anything is possible with education. People like Morgan are the problem for saying that other careers are inferior. What would he say if his child dreamed of being a teacher. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Mo

Trump's threat ought to inspire even more news reporters to get out to the reflecting pond to do videos just like this one from Jon Karl. No better way to show Americans the scummy water and peeling blue sealant than this: youtube.com/shorts/bXoJz...

"at least 159 known cases among recruits & two hospitalizations among recruits at Lackland Air Force Base at Joint Base San Antonio, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. One source told ABC News the number of cases & hospitalizations may be higher." abcnews.com/Health/flu-o...

Boycott Trump’s July 4 Party “Freedom 250 has already received tens of millions in taxpayer funding, which it is supplementing with private donations, solicitations for which have promised big-money contributors posh perks and presidential schmoozing” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/o...

Goodnight, dear friends. I’ll mostly be working on some tasks off line tomorrow, but I’ll be back in full force Monday. Have a great night and a beautiful Sunday. 🩵

Whoa. “‘I’ve dealt with this little fucker,’ Bessent would say to associates about Zelenskyy,” ..“‘He’s tricky. He’s like the special-needs child for the Europeans. And he’s acting like Mr Bean on crack.” "News of Bessent’s alleged remarks may embarrass the Trump admin.." Not a chance

So, “years in jail" for people who touch the peeling paint in the Reflecting pool but reparations for these traitors? #FDT

#ResistanceEarth Separating plastics from other waste and sorting them by resin type is slow and error-prone. Researchers may have an answer: 3-D transient thermal barcodes. They use mid-infrared wavelengths to generate heat patterns that identify common resins. techxplore.com/news/2026-06...

Trump: "Nobody has taller algae than I do. Everyone is telling me, Sir, your algae is the toughest, smartest algae. You wouldn't believe how tall my algae pool is."

Trump appointed Airbnb cofounder and current Airbnb board member Joe Gebbia as Trump admin Chief Design Officer in 2025. "His position requires no Senate confirmation, which means he files no financial disclosures" $ABNB @sarahburris.bsky.social reported: www.alternet.org/trump-govern...

What happens when it’s a catastrophe instead of a reflecting pool? It’s going to be bad.

#ProudBlue #Recycle #Rebuild We all need some good news - especially from Gaza. Take the time to read this - perhaps we can find other areas where this recycling of rubble into bricks can help others in war zones! Congratulations Tala & Farah!

Coming to your neighborhood soon!

CNN at Reflecting Pool: This is the output from what's going on over there. And you can see it is clearly green. This is the water that the federal officials are saying is absolutely clear. It very clearly is not

How dare someone put their hand in the water. This is what authoritarian government does. #8647 #trumpIsUnfit Hold all these minions accountable too. Wasting our taxes on stupidity, chaos, corruption, cruelty. #Voices4victory #USDemocracy #DV1

Oh FFS! It’s not vandalism. It’s photosynthesis that caused the algae, it’s hydrogen peroxide that caused the paint to fall off. But then again, you never believed in science, and instead, you have people arrested, including an Olympian, for your bad decisions and to save face.

Update: Kegsbreath now requires everyone at that base to now have the flu vaccine, no exceptions. However, he isn’t requiring it at any of the other bases. What could go wrong?

I'm sorry what was that about ICE?

She almost said "motherf***" again 😆 🤣

Every single public official in the world should do this, stand up to Trump, starting in the US.

Election time is almost here! Don't forget to register or cast your ballot before or on August 5th in this critical primary! open.substack.com/pub/distills...

More proof that Trump came to Washington to protect the Swamp.

In today’s World Cup play I am rooting for Team Algae

Trump and Hegseth created the situation - the reckless war with Iran - and now they do not know how to get out of it. Iran is screwing over Trump and Hegseth daily. These two men should be forced to resign. The military costs alone warrants their resignations. Add to that the global economic costs.

#ProudBlue #Defend #ScienceMatters An outstanding 🧵about the algae growth in the reflecting pool. When an expert speaks they demystify situations for us. That’s important for society. This regime turned its back on science, cut funding, questioned the effectiveness of vaccines & more. It must stop!

Italy’s most prominent right-wing populist publication today: “Trump is a testicle.”

Calling anti-AI people “Luddites” is rich. The Luddites saw the scam: owners using machines to gut skilled labor. Now doctors, lawyers, engineers, artists & factory workers are finding out the degree was never a shield. Capital owns the machine—and the paycheck.

"Call the National Guard! They're stealing my scum! That's MY scum! MY algae! MY peeling crap! DETAIN THAT MAN!"

Iran just closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Meanwhile on Truth Social..

Closed. Which it wasn't before Trump started his illegal war.

Hey, can you guys stop hydrating, showering, washing clothes and seeking “human comfort.” You’re messing up Bezos’s plans for world AI domination.

*Double take* Trump just said no tolls "UNLESS IMPOSED BY AND FOR THE USA". I'm sorry what?

DOGS. Let's talk about em ... 🙃🤗

Coffee on my deck on a gorgeous Saturday morning 😎

He's out of his mind. Everyone knows who I'm referring to. Amazing.

He's so mad about that concert at the Obama Presidential Center. www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

I went to service this morning, and got called to Torah for the first time. I felt the spirits of my grandpa and great grandparents lifting me up as I recited the blessing along with one of the community’s elders. It was a very emotional experience and I’m still a bit verklempt.

The Obama Presidential Center at night.

This is completely horrifying. He has destroyed 250 years of beauty and history.

Is this one of the cards Trump holds? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Again, it's not what he does. It's what GOP in Congress & SCOTUS ignore, and what the press either whitewash or ignore. Given where we are right now, this is insanity. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-strai...

NYT finding its courage. “Over the course of the 3-day summit, Mr. Trump — who has had a fixation with the nation’s first Black president for more than a decade, starting with pushing a racist lie that he was not American — mentioned Mr. Obama by name nearly two dozen times.”

PLEASE! It's so damn irritating and inaccurate.

The Scots are leaving and Boston is having some serious collective separation anxiety. Please be gentle with us.

So heart breaking. This is out of sight way to get rid of what you consider disposable beings. Please speak up for our vulnerable fellow humans. Please get loud for those who need help. Have a generous heart & demand the same of our electeds.

Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom should belong to some and not others. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality. Today, we celebrate all of the joy of Juneteenth.

Please Tartan Army... You drank up ALL THE BEER IN BOSTON!!! We Americans WANT YOU TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD CUP NOW!!!! WE WANT TO PARTY WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU!! So please Scottish National Team, WIN A GAME!!! Don't just do it for the Tartan Army!! DO IT FOR US!!!! 🇺🇸

We've got two and half more years of this. All preventable. All because six million of you couldn't stomach a woman as President.

Nixon talked to the portraits of former presidents. Trump super glues hideous fake gold stuff onto the Oval fireplace mantel.
