This is a brilliant thread of contextualization of this moment and what's praiseworthy about it amidst the atrocities.

Shameful

Ghost sign from 1912!

A post by JD Vance: Everything else—-the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy —is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions.

Bookmark this moment, 11.31pm, June 30 - when JD Vance described sick Americans dying without healthcare as “minutiae”.

Because, if America remains anywhere close to a functioning society, his 2028 candidacy ended tonight.

The extraordinary moment at the NATO press conference when Trump admits he gave a foreign enemy (Iran) permission to attack a US military base.

“They said is one o’clock ok? I said it’s fine.”

He even says soldiers were still on site.

I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but that’s treason, right?

NO! #INDIVISIBLE and #Nokings does NOT RECOMMEND this strategy. Turn around and walk away. Sitting down makes you a target.

LAPD This is a public warning—not the kind your tactical goons give, with chest armor and foam rounds and dead eyes behind mirrored shields. No. This is a journalistic warning. You no longer get to control the narrative.

Thank you @smith.senate.gov

Conventional spelling, punctuation, complete sentences...nah it's fake.

A photo of 6-year-old Osama Al-Raqab, a child in Gaza. He has sunken cheeks, stick-thin arms and ribs jutting out of his chest. His aunt, Nour Sameer Al-Raqab, is seen holding a phone in the photo with an image of a healthy-looking Osama from a few months before the war began. He now looks like a skeleton. The photo was taken on April 13, 2025 and published in a story by NBC News. The full story is available at this link: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/children-gaza-hunger-aid-blockade-israel-rcna201085

Daily reminder that the whole of Gaza is being starved to death and every Western nation is allowing it to happen.

English isn't his first language. Misogyny and Bigotry is.

Accurate!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if there is NEW evidence that would change a determination *already made by a judge*, the government needs to present it in that court and get the determination changed. Re-litigating a judge's determination based on old evidence on TV isn't due process

A chart which is headlined “See How Government Spending is Up even as Musk Touts Savings”. The chart shows cumulative spending since the inauguration over the first 80 days. In summary, $154 billion more has been spent at this time in 2025 compared to 2024.

It is important to understand what a complete and unqualified failure Elon Musk and DOGE has been.

Fraudsters long before these politics. Entire BOD has resigned.

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

LOL it's Friday if you don't see this post until 12:38 am...on Friday!
