Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

We the people will have the last word.

The fight has just begun...

I was doing this before the election, guess I'm going to have to keep it up. 😏 Maybe do his whole cabinet.

I make these out of cardstock and popsicle sticks.

I would keep them in my car and anytime I went to the park I'd place him in all the dog shit no one picks up. #trumpdump

About a thousand people applied for some of these new Onion jobs and fellowships.

If you didn't get the fellowship this summer, your packet was probably really good or great. (Except for ~two of them, which were brain poison.)

Keep writing jokes. It's good for everybody. Next round in 6 months.

Is this even up for debate anymore......🤔

Voting Rights Victories and Texas Triumphs in Local Elections In this uplifting episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen brings you a collection of inspiring stories that showcase the triumph of democracy and community action. We start with a significant victory for voting rights as a federal judge dismisses a baseless challenge to the election results in North Carolina, affirming Democrat Alison Riggs as the rightful winner. This ruling not only protects the integrity of the electoral process but also reinforces the importance of every vote, especially those cast by overseas military and civilian voters.Next, we celebrate the resounding rejection of far-right politics in Texas local elections, where voters have opted for candidates who prioritize education and inclusivity. The results highlight a growing resistance against extremist agendas and signal a shift towards more progressive leadership in traditionally conservative areas.In a powerful demonstration of worker solidarity, employees at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin have voted to unionize with the United Auto Workers, marking a significant victory in the labor movement within the entertainment industry. This grassroots effort reflects the ongoing struggle for fair treatment and improved working conditions.We also discuss a recent poll revealing that a majority of Mainers do not believe Senator Susan Collins deserves another term, indicating a growing demand for new leadership that aligns with the progressive values of the state. This shift in sentiment could have significant implications for the upcoming Senate race.Finally, we spotlight a landmark victory for environmental protection as Southern California sunscreen manufacturer SunBum settles a lawsuit for misleading advertising regarding its reef-friendly claims, highlighting the importance of corporate accountability in protecting our natural ecosystems.Join us for this episode filled with hope and inspiration, proving that positive change is possible when communities come together to advocate for justice, democracy, and the environment!

DOGE aims to pool federal data, putting personal information at risk A centralized system with unprecedented access to data about Social Security, taxes, medical diagnoses and other private information would create vulnerabilities, experts say.

DOGE is building a massive centralized database with your Social Security, tax, and medical info stripping away safeguards and ignoring privacy laws. Musk is collecting it all and experts are warning: this is a hacker’s dream.

I second that!

I wonder if it has dawned on Trump that now Pope Leo XIV is the most powerful American in the world, leading 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide.

This American-Peruvian son of immigrants is not what the MAGAs wanted, but it's what true Christians need.

“Evil will not prevail.”
—Pope Leo XIV—

Not useless, even the supreme court is backing the people. The trump admin are simply refusing to comply and they need to be held 100% accountable. This is NOT a lawless society and the courts don't want to go around setting that very DANGEROUS precedent.

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

Hello Bluesky Resisters! Starter Pack #14 is here‼️

The first American Pope.

My 88-year old mom who is the most anti-MAGA advocate, balances her work with doing great work for humanity!

She's been my biggest supporter of Heidy, the domestic violence and recent fire victim in the Eaton fire!

Please chip in below in her honor -- it could be $10, $25, $50 or more -- thanks!

Boost!

Rally With America’s Veterans | Unite for Veterans Coalition Join veterans and allies in Washington, D.C. on June 6 to defend the VA, protect our benefits, and carry forward the legacy of the Bonus Army.

The draft dodger felon wants to CANCEL Veterans Day and only celebrate veterans who “won” wars. Rally with Veterans and honor those who sacrificed their lives, unlike the Fascists in Chief. We will not rewrite history or erase those who served and those who died.

May the 4th be with you! @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

My latest pack.
Please follow and share. Thank you so much.

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Science has never made me doubt the existence of a loving God, but some Christians have.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has no criminal record and experts have said his tattoos are not tied to MS-13.

The administration pushed out a doctored image to try and prove a connection after they unlawfully abducted him.

Trump is either confused or deliberately lying to the public.

Our country’s diversity is our most precious treasure. It hurts my heart to see our country shutting its doors in the faces of so many people because they are considered “different”, when instead we should be treating them like precious gems.

Thank you Greyhound!
