Was Someone Trolling Trump by Playing Creedence’s Draft-Dodger-Slamming ‘Fortunate Son’ at His Military Parade? Or Is It Just the Further Death of Irony?
The use of Creedence's draft-dodger-mocking 'Fortunate Son' while soldiers marched past Trump at his military parade struck some as possible trolling.

I go to bed tonight proud to know how many people are willing to stand up for what’s right — and how few are willing to rally for his hate. Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

Millions of people marched. Millions. We hear that number a lot, even billion, so it doesn't sound as big as it should. That's a *lot* of people. Do you know, say, 100 people? A million is ten thousand times that many. Want to count to a million one per second? It'll take 11 days. A lot of people.

The chicks are growing up! This process has been a joy to watch! I have raised 2 clutches myself, but to witness a mama hatch and raise and the flock take care of them, was pure joy.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

History tells us that deputizing local law enforcement in a specific federal action, one which by design, lacks due process, cornerstone of our judicial process, is one of the core elements of fascism. Not arguing semantics here. THIS IS HERE, NOW.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

MTG Caught. AOC Renews Call to Ban Members’ Trades

MTG is caught “buying the dip” as AOC renews call to ban members’ insider trades.
So, as the economy tanked, some members of Congress were most focused on making themselves rich.
