To those who weren’t born yet or those like me who didn’t remember, this is why we have the EPA.

Trump Administration Allows VA Doctors to Deny Care to Unmarried Women and Democrats, Senator Murray Responds - Senator Patty Murray Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former chair of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, released the following statement on new U.S. Department of Vetera...

Language was REMOVED from VA hospital guidelines requiring healthcare professionals care for vets regardless of their politics/marital status, & allowing doctors & other medical staff to be barred from working at VA hospitals based on same parameters.

WTF?

We need to stand together to demand that the human and civil rights of every person in this country are honored.

The protest can't be a landing pad; it must be our launching pad.

Fight on, good people.

Contact your senators and demand an immediate censure. We can’t allow this shit to happen. They are begging for more political violence.

The right wing claims that:

1. Both Trump assassination attempts were done by the left

2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left

On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS:

1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters

2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist

Any org not affirmatively reporting as FACT that the deliberate authoritarian fear tactic of having ICE and LEOs run around masked, refusing to identify themselves in any way, is DIRECTLY responsible for a fake cop assassinating elected officials, is a fascist collaborator operation.

At the same time, the most powerful conservative legal groups in the country are working to overturn Hill v Colorado - the Supreme Court ruling that allows abortion clinics to have buffer zones

Trump’s DOJ also announced that they wouldn’t be enforcing the FACE Act unless there are β€œextraordinary circumstances...such as death.”

Just this week, House Republicans advanced legislation that would repeal the FACE Act and strip federal protections from clinics

14.06.2025 20:47 β€” πŸ‘ 124    πŸ” 17    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

One of Trump’s first actions was to pardon two dozen anti-abortion extremists convicted of violating the FACE Act - the federal law prohibiting violence against clinics.

Afterwards, JD Vance told a crowd of anti-abortion activists they would β€œnever have the government go after them ever again.”

I want to remind everyone that the White House and the GOP have been systematically dismantling protections for abortion providers and clinics ever since Trump took office

We’re proud to announce, today’s turnout has already surpassed the Hands Off protest! Over 5.5m people and counting across the U.S. Get out there, be seen, and be counted. This is history in the making. Take plenty of photos and videos and post them publicly. Let the world see what’s happening.

Vance Boelter is a suspect in the Brooklyn Park shootings of two Minnesota state elected officials and their spouses and is considered to still be in the Twin Cities area looking for a way out. If you see something, say something.

The political assassinations/hit jobs against Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota by a terrorist impersonating a cop are a direct result of the hateful lies and rhetoric from the orange felon, Fox Propaganda and MAGA. They all have blood on their hands.

"I believe Donald Trump wants there to be violence, involving the National Guard and the military, and that that will support in his mind, his argument that this is an invasion, this is an insurrection." - @repdangoldman.bsky.social

This is Trump’s America. The blame falls squarely on him and his vile cult.

This is Trump’s America.

Minnesota Dems State Senator John Hoffman, his wife, and State Representative Melissa Hortman have been shot by an individual posing as a law enforcement officer.

Gov. Walz has said the shootings were targeted.

How long before other Dems and immigrants start to get shot?

The planned expulsion of Gaza's population is already underway - +972 Magazine Israel is conditioning aid delivery to force Gazans south into β€˜concentration zones.’ This scheme has begun to stall, but that only portends greater brutality.

Netanyahu: β€œWe’re destroying more and more homes β€” they have nowhere to return to. The only natural outcome will be that Gazans will want to emigrate out of the Strip. Our main problem is with receiving countries.”
