Kudos to Texas

Florida - we will do better in August!
21 MILLION Americans lack citizenship docs. Florida's SB1334 would use that to purge voters BEFORE the midterms. Get the facts & fight back 👇

HB 299/SB 354 requires state approval of 10,000+ acre developments (15+ sq mi) with NO size limit. Local governments get just 60 days to review before automatic approval & 50-year vested rights—even with zero construction

These dolphins are trapped in crumbling concrete tanks.

Sec. Lutnick claims that @nws.noaa.gov & @noaa.gov are operating at full force – but the stories we are hearing on the ground are much different.
As hurricane season arrives, he needs to address discrepancies in staffing cuts & hold himself accountable for ensuring that EVERY community is prepared.
Here's what happened at the Unite for Veterans rally last Friday!
Last Friday, Unite for Veterans Rally at the fort!
We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader.
This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent.
If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.
Silence

Complicity
Straighten your spine
Speak & live your truth
We are working hard to have a better outcome in ‘26. Will you come join us? Thank you!

Sadly, a pardon is probably in the works.

“Nobody who is engaged in this fight right now is fearless. If you’re fearless, you’re not paying attention because Donald Trump is systematically targeting institutions and people who are standing up to him.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social tells @aaronparnas.bsky.social why you should join No Kings Day
This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.👇
More wasteful spending of taxpayers $$!
Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.
What an unbelievable asshole.
4 more examples of towns where Texans are making a stand!! Places like Harlingen, Nagaodoches, Coldspring and Lufkin. And remember the link to check out events is at the end.
Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.
