there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

First, please keep American servicemembers in your thoughts today and in days to come. While there was a contact strike on 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain, there are no current indications of loss of life.

Second, our U.S. Congress is a sheer disappointment in the face of Trumpโ€ฆ

Imagine if the state increased funding for public education, preschool, childcare, and healthcare instead of cutting them. ๐Ÿค”

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the โ€œbaby jailโ€ in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But itโ€™s routine. And disgusting.

If you made an Olympic team then you are already a winner. I wish people would quit framing anything less than a gold medal as disappointing.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. Heโ€™s referenced 38,000 times.

State Republicans have been working on the dismantling of public education for 20 years. They are about to get it. And then watch Indiana fall completely to the bottom of every US ranking.

Does everything need to be awful and gut wrenching? Are republicans just going out of their way to be jerks? Ugh.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

โ€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the โ€˜heroโ€™ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trumpโ€™s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

I never thought about it before but heโ€™s right, Trump thinks Greenland is huge because he doesnโ€™t understand how a map works.

They should tell him hundreds of millions. He has no idea what happens in the real world, only what people tell him.

Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

Maybe this refers to Trump finally learning he had a CT scan and not an MRI?

Based on their roster, what should their record be at this point? As a more casual fan I thought theyโ€™d be mediocre this season, not historically bad.

Iโ€™m surprised you are still allowed to post anything critical of the regime or its supporters.
