What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July?
Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?
Our new concentration camps?
Our dying economy?
Our ditching due process?
Our corruption?
Our broken Congress?
Our corrupt Supreme Court?
Our ridiculous buffoon President?
All we want is healthcare.

But seriously…
It’s not that bad.
The truth is the Resistance - you - have been doing a phenomenal job standing up to the criminal bullying of the last 100 days.
Musk is on the run, Trump is on the ropes, and their corporate supporters are feeling the heat.
Keep at it.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
You're telling me that Marxists took over the United States in 1980? And then the country elected a right wing movie actor, a CIA director, the CIA directors's son who worked in the oil industry, and a former reality TV show host? Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me for the first time.
This is what happens when Trumpist bullshit meets an educated person.
Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
Dear god let this man cook.
An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse.
It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.
In March, 48 people were arrested in New Mexico, according to an ICE press release. Why is nothing known about who was arrested or their whereabouts?
“I’ve never missed a court appearance. I’ve never missed an appointment with immigration or ICE,” Daboin Rall said. “The truth is: I don’t have any criminal record. I’ve done everything correctly according to the rules of this country.”

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation
Republicans say they're not going to cut Social Security, yet they've closed 1000 offices, fired 7000 people, cut off phone services that seniors rely on, threatened to shut it down, and said it wouldn't matter if someone missed a month's payment.
I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!
The only thing being liberated today is money from the bank accounts of hard-working Americans.
There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm
Trump and Elon are killing off Meals on Wheels.
No, really. 👇
Agency for older adults and people with disabilities to be shuttered under HHS cuts. www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...
If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland): "(Trump's war plan Group Chat) broke the law and it reflects the sloppiness of this administration. They act in complete defiance of what the Constitution says and what the rule of law stands for."
DOGE is not efficient at all.
I think this was from Chapter 4 of Mein Kampf.
Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.
They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.
