“We served a nation—not a king, a bully, or a dictator.” — U.S. Navy Veteran @rustyhicks.bsky.social

Trump has federalized the Guard, threatened governors, and now wants active-duty Troops in our streets.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about control.

🎥 @votevets.org

The Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to freedom of speech

The right to peaceably assemble

The right to petition the government for a redress of grievances

I’ll be DAMNED if I let some wannabe dictator take away MY rights

See you on Saturday, Trump

The Bleach Community Is Ready for RFK Jr. to Make Their Dreams Come True Online communities dedicated to the use of a toxic bleach solution to treat everything from cancer to autism believe Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is interested in their cause.

The bleach community (no, not the anime, but literal bleach) is really, really happy for RFK Jr. to be in a position of power. They think he can make their dreams of using toxic bleach as a solution to treat everything—from cancer to autism—come true.

Great use of taxpayer funds.

JFC. This is only going to get worse.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles.

THIS is waste and abuse.

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr
Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

Trump’s fault!

This corn fed & bred young Kansan, this 26 year old beekeeper with a degree in Environmental Science & 2 Master's degrees who focused her studies on international sustainable development was gunned down in a brutal hate crime.

A HATE CRIME!

SPEAK OUT!

Are you brave enough to condemn murder?

Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Should Doom the GOP. But It Will Doom Many Americans Too Trump and the GOP will celebrate its likely passage with a pyrotechnic display of lies, to help them “justify” more tax cuts and other benefits for the rich and powerful.

No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America. It's time to face the fact that virtually every other leading democracy on the planet serves their people better than we do here. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...

That’s ok, Trump only needs it after he leaves office. If he leaves office.

The clearest conclusion I’ve come to doing a DOGE podcast for 4 months is that they’re not just incompetent at cutting waste and fraud, but that was never the real goal. And it’s vital to get folks who share that goal to recognize that.

McGovern: My state of Massachusetts funds states like Indiana where the gentlelady is from. We get back less than we give. And so how dare she or anybody else vote to steal our tax money and give it to billionaires?

🔥🔥🔥

The White House: (iii) assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs;

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.

Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

Clyde owns gun shops in Georgia.

As I predicted April 30, Chip voted for it. These guys all make lots of noise about debt and deficits, then vote to pile it on in record amounts.

In 2017, they sold us a “tax cut” that mostly helped billionaires—and now income inequality is even worse than it was 8 years ago. The same crew is back with a “beautiful” new bill… that’ll push the working class deeper into poverty. #MomSky

Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing.

GOP members and their staff filed out of the Capitol early this am taking the ultimate Walk Of Shame.

While Americans slept, the GOP ignited a “Debt Bomb Bill” that rips Medicaid away from Millions, gives Billionaires and Millionaires tax cuts, and blows up our national debt by $4 Trillion.

Dear Judge Farbiarz: Petitioner respectfully writes with an urgent request for this Court's intervention regarding his ongoing detention. Specifically, and for the reasons set forth below and to aid in his habeas and proceedings, Petitioner requests that this Court issue an order: (1) requiring the LaSalle Detention Facility to permit Mr. Khalil to have a private contact visit with his wife, Dr. Abdalla, and newborn child today, May 21, 2025, for two hours' and/or (2) at a minimum, permit Dr. Abdalla to join a contact visit currently scheduled with immigration counsel at LaSalle so the legal team can discuss legal strategy and facts known collectively between Dr. Abdalla and Mr. Khalil and which is relevant to his pending habeas case and for pending motions in his immigration proceedings. One of the first orders issued in this case was to direct the U.S. Attorney's office to ensure that DHS would provide regular access to counsel, Khalil v. Joyce, 1:25-cv-01935, ECF 29 (S.D.N.Y.), which is an equitable power this Court retains and authorizes the relief requested modest as it is as compared to the painful costs of denial. As the Court is aware, the Khalil family welcomed their first child one month ago, on April 21, 2025. In order to provide the most indispensable human connection and to help Mr. Khalil prepare for his ongoing habeas proceeding and for the upcoming immigration hearing, Petitioner's wife and his newborn baby have traveled over 6 hours and 1500 miles to visit Mr. Khalil in detention, which will be the first time he will be able to see or hold his family since his arrest and transfer to Louisiana, over 10 weeks ago. As this Court well knows, Mr. Khalil is purportedly in civil immigration detention, where he cannot be subject to punishment or retaliation; yet currently, routine legal or family visits only occur in a confined space permitting muffled communication through a full plexiglass window that permits no human touch.

Petitioner's counsel have made repeated requests for a contact visit to occur between Mr. Khalil and his wife and baby to the relevant ICE and GeoGroup administrators at the LaSalle Detention Facility in Jena. Such a visit is necessary for the most elementary human reasons and given the ongoing strain of his pending habeas petition, this visit is critical to ensure Mr. Khalil, who is an active participant his legal case, can continue to meaningfully contribute to the proceedings before this Court. The relevant administrators have responded that they are unable to accommodate this request, including a confirmation of this refusal this morning. (Email correspondence attached as Exhibit A). ICE policy authorizes contact visits between detained individuals and family members, subject to the reasonable discretion of DHS officials? The refusal to permit a contact visit is not reasonable and is further evidence of the retaliatory motive behind Mr. Khalil's arrest and faraway detention as well as the ongoing punitive nature of his detention. Petitioner, his wife and infant son are, as all the evidence in this case demonstrates, the farthest thing from a security risk It is the government who chose to detain Mr. Khalil and send him 1500 miles from his family rather than detain him, as they could have (and as we have requested in seeking a transfer there), in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where counsel confirmed with an EDC official that family contact visits are ordinarily provided on a daily basis and where a parent is permitted to hold their child. 3 In addition, a legal contact visit has been authorized for today between Mr. Khalil and his counsel, from 11-3pm CT. It thus appears the facility can accommodate contact visits absent a plexiglass barrier. Thus, the facility should make accommodations during or after this time for a private in-person visit where the family can be alone together for the first time. In addition, and at a minimum, counsel needs to meet with Petitioner …

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's attorneys urgently ask Judge Farbiarz to order ICE to permit Khalil to hold his newborn son today "for the most elementary human reasons." ICE has so far denied the request, despite his wife and child having made the 1,500-mile trip. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

#BlueSkyVets Trump ‘s acceptance of a Qatari $400M plane is an outrage.

A foreign government gifting a crucial component of the U.S. Presidential fleet raises ethical and security concerns.

Additionally, it places a significant burden on American taxpayers.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes
