For all my family and friends, Happy Pride! Proud to celebrate and be your ally!

Trump: "We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China. Now we're essentially not doing business with China. Therefore, we're saving hundreds of billions of dollars. It's very simple."

Secret Trump Memo Tells ICE to Break into Homes Without Warrants The administration has been arresting people without a warrant for weeks.

They can come into your home & if you fight them they will charge you for obstructing justice. No warrant is needed, they can just go in if they feel like it.

The gestapo are here people.

Are you gonna wait in at home waiting to be taken next?

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Trump ‘Alarmists’ Were Right. We Should Say So. Commentators who got it wrong wouldn’t listen, won’t learn, and can’t lead.

amusing that the contrarian leftists obsessed with disdain for resistance moms ended up on the same side as centrist goobers like Jon Stewart and David Brooks www.liberalcurrents.com/trump-alarmi...

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

Wall Street’s Decision Makers Brace for More Chaos After Markets Plunge The financial titans who backed Trump are now dealing with the fallout from his tariffs. They spent the weekend surveying the damage of last week’s major sell-off.

“A top Goldman Sachs executive summed up the frustration with Mr. Trump succinctly: Someone has to stop him.”

Masses of protesters converged in cities and towns all across America.

Millions upon millions of people poured into the streets, demanding that Trump and Musk keep their HANDS OFF our healthcare, our schools, our money, our democracy — and more.

THIS is the Opposition.

Sharing an excerpt of facebook screenshot of Amanda Gailey: As someone who uses Signal every day, I need to explain how totally committed to being an absolute dumbass multiple people had to be in order for this security leak to happen. Okay, so in Signal if you want to talk to multiple people you have to create a group and give it a name, for example "JD Vance Humps His Couch." You then add people from your contacts to the group. If you are a competent user of Signal, you can then restrict the permissions so that only designated admins can add people. If you are an absolute dipshit whose only job qualification is pwning the libs on Twitter, you would create a group about war plans and not know about or activate this functionality. If you are in a group and are allowed to add members, either because you are an admin or because the admin was raised on lead paint milkshakes, you then must do the following to add someone: Click on "JD Vance Humps His Couch" Scroll down to "Add Members." Select one or more people from your phone's contact list. Click "Update" Confirm that yes, you want to add that member. This is impossible to do accidentally. Then, once you have gone through the multi-step process of adding a member, an announcement appears on the screen for literally everyone in the group to see: "JD Vance Has Added Chairry to the Group." This sentence is a line in a single-stream text thread and if anyone is reading their messages they cannot miss it. (If they are not reading their messages, one might wonder why they have been included on the chat to begin with.) At this point, anyone can say in the chat or privately, Hey JD, why are you adding the bedroom-eyed plush chair from Pee-Wee's Playhouse to our chat about your upholstery problem? Yet nobody in the war bro chat said a thing about the new member added to the group.

This is art. 🤗

Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg’s algo this just popped up in my IG stories — proof that it’s real:

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

The American electorate is overrun by stupid people.

The 2019 levels were before passage of the PACT Act expanding eligibility. VA care is the best it’s ever been, higher patient outcomes and patient satisfaction scores than nearly all civilian care. But now VA will have fewer people to serve more Veterans. Sec Collins is a #BlueFalcon to fellow Vets.

Stand With Trans Americans You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.

Trump voters are like these kids - they have no idea what’s really happening with tariffs. Brace yourselves. youtube.com/watch?v=yuOH...

DOGE’s cuts are already harming Veterans. Clinics can’t open because they don’t have staff. Beds and operating rooms are being shut down. Appointments canceled for months. This isn’t efficiency—it’s neglect.

DOGE screws Veterans!

Cancelled our telephone town hall outreach at VA. Single most effective tool for engaging our Veterans concerns and informing them of their benefits. At a pittance.

#DOGESucks

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

I’m up because I’m a federal employee who accepted a position in DC and I’m worried they’re going to yank it away from me.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.

Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.

In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

‘They are not responsible for the sins of their fathers,’ WV Delegate supports removing rape, incest as abortion exceptions Delegate Elias Coop-Gonzalez released a statement showing his support for House Bill 2712.

West Virginia Republicans are trying to pass a bill that would make abortion illegal in cases of rape or incest. The worst of the GOP always starts in the states, and we know this is the end game for Trump and MAGA on abortion. Completely disgusting. www.wtap.com/2025/02/24/t...

This Guy Might Be Even Worse Than Musk OMB director Russell Vought isn’t as flashy as Musk. But it’s his vision of destroying the federal government that’s being put into effect.

“When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. … We want to put them in trauma.”

It’s working… morale has never been lower.

Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by DOGE are expected to produce no savings Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that the Trump administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save any money.
