I’m here for the oppressed people in our society. Christofascism, white supremacy, and LGBTQ+ hatred (but I repeat myself) are destructive to democracy. We need to win the information war to electorally defeat these fascists. He/him #ProudBlue #protest
A win! A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from gutting the appeals process for migrants facing deportation stopping a planned overhaul that would have automatically thrown out all appeals
Another lie to justify his stupid and illegal war.
If we’re not supposed to want bad things to happen to him, then why does he keep saying the things he does
This presser is fucking insane.
Trump threatened to target Iranian electricity production and “hit them so hard that nobody can ever rebuild in that location”
That’s not a thing. Even if we nuked them.
He also said we’re bombing Iran to help China. Batshit crazy.
"Will Democrats make the obnoxious and unlikable Stephen Miller a key target in their midterms messaging? Will they run against Miller’s extremism and in solidarity with the vital contributions of immigrants?"
Strongly agree with @markjacob.bsky.social here:

Donald will only restart the military draft if he can sell bone spur diagnoses for $1M/each.
He finally gets a little pushback on his lie and then he’s got nothing. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
The US president is an addled madman. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
At the House Republicans’ annual policy retreat in Florida, Trump said he would refuse to sign any new legislation until his expanded version of the Save America Act is passed. He also floated the possibility of using military force to take control of Cuba.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
He’s a psychopathic sadistic liar.
Trump—atheist, adulterer, blasphemer—who (major-media reports confirm) detests organized religion, has posted a creepy, grifty "prophecy" that frames all he does as ordained by God.
His derangement is growing—he must be impeached before our economy collapses and more soldiers die for his delusions.

www.mediaite.com/media/news/d... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy Tennessee’s most ignorant racist Congressman Andy Ogles has put his ignorant foot in his even more ignorant mouth by calling for a complete ban of Muslims in the US. Poor Andy, still proving he is the most ignorant Republican in the GOP.
He went from “unconditional surrender” and “I must pick their new leader” to full “just declare victory and get the hell out” TACO Trump.
Trump said we were going to war to demand that Iran turn over all their enriched uranium to us, and we also demanded regime change where Trump would choose the new leader. Now Trump is apparently declaring victory after accomplishing none of that.
everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment — Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil — by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah. the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 — and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda. that’s why we’re in this mess right now — because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.
did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power — that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c
(1 of 2) The thing to understand about Trump and war is that Trump sees war as a spigot he can turn on and off.
Is it possible this war goes on for years? Yes—but it's equally possible Trump one day decides the political cost has been too high and simply announces victory and says the war is over.
Keep it going...

It’s past time for Trump and Hegseth to come clean on this. They already know the truth. What they are doing now is simply refusing to accept responsibility.
New NBC poll finds Trump deeply underwater on top issues:
44-54 on immigration
43-54 on foreign policy
41-54 on handling Iran
36-62 on inflation and cost of living
More confirmation that Trump has hit the trifecta, tanking on GOP friendly issues of immigration, economy, national security:
It should have been obvious to MAGA that the "no more foreign wars" slogan was always going to be an empty promise as long as Trump had folks like Lindsey Graham in his inner circle.
This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”
I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.
But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.
