It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago.

That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.

In case you need a break, here are some of my dad’s hydrangeas. July in New England.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

E.P.A. Suspends 144 Employees After They Signed a Letter Criticizing Trump

We are so far over the guardrails here.

Far-right groups are sharing scary messages ahead of ‘No Kings’ protests Accounts associated with extremist groups are sharing detailed information about protest organizers, including names and where they work

It's hard to not see the assassinations of Minnesota legislators and not think about the increasing calls for political violence from far right wing extremists.

As a reminder, Donald Trump pardoned over 1500 of these violent extremists upon taking office.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

This is not about protecting kids.

Old North Church in Boston. There is a yellow projection lit up above the entrance that reads: “One if by land, Two if by D.C.” (1/3)

Old North Church in Boston. The project now reads “Let the warning ride forth once more; tyranny is at our door.” (2/3)

Old North Church in Boston. The projection now reads: The Revolution started here and it never left. (3/3) Context: the first line is a version of well-known lines from the historical poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, which actually read “One if by land, two if by sea.” Which referred to the number of lanterns used to indicate which route British troops would take at the start of the American Revolution. Old North Church is the same church used to hang the lanterns, and Paul Revere’s ride actually did happen, though not exactly as Longfellow told it.

I do believe the lantern has been lit.

Hopefully these are arranged in the correct order. Here’s a link to historical event referenced in the pics: www.paulreverehouse.org/the-real-sto...

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

When the VP says they "do not think military force will ever be necessary," he’s saying it’s on the table.

Greenland is of strategic importance, but this Administration needs to stop threatening our allies — because without allies, we are less safe.

It’s that simple.

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.

Circling back on this…

But the emails!

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

“Tesla Crushed by an Olmec Head” is by Mexican artist Chavis Mármol.
It features a 9-ton replica of an Olmec head resting on a Tesla Model 3 & represents the clash between ancient culture & modern technology, critiquing consumerism & capitalism.

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors!

Let that sink in for a minute…

The CDU, the party of Angela Merkel, won. Neither the pro-Russian BSW nor the far-right AfD, which Elon Musk and JD Vance both strongly supported, will be part of Germany's next government since the CDU, SPD, and Greens vowed not to work with them. Tough break, MAGA.

French far-right leader cancels US speech after Steve Bannon appears to make Nazi salute at CPAC – Europe live Jordan Bardella cancels speech at US conference after former Trump aide appeared to make gesture at end of his speech at event on Thursday night

When a "far-right leader cancels a speech" should mean something.

Watch the video yourself. It's a nazi salute.
