Reminder, that you can bypass social media blocks protecting the current fascist regime by referring to the dictator and his regime by analogy-based names. For example... Orange Adolf Kristi Noemmler Stephen Schmittler Pam Freisler Dan Goebbino Hermann Hegseth

Jason Kander posts:
“Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor.
Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families.”
He ends with the hashtag #shutdown2025.

While children are starving, the Trump Admin is literally setting food on fire — destroying 500 tons of US taxpayer-funded food that could feed 1.5 million starving children for a week. Destroying the food alone will cost $130K. This is heartless cruelty, not efficiency.

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

Look, Republicans are trying all sorts of tricks to pretend their billionaire tax giveaway doesn't blow up the deficit. The fact is, their bill would add $4.2T to the deficit over 10 years—even AFTER the cuts they made to kick 16M off their health care. This bill is a disaster.

Senate GOP’s tax cuts projected to cost $4.2T — with costly SALT deal pending

The price tag by the Joint Committee on Taxation is substantially higher than one calculated under an accounting method favored by Republicans.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Dear Journalists, I would like to share two maps. One is the area where the protests in LA are taking place. The other is the area where the US Constitution is under assault by a tyrannical regime. Any questions on the relative scale of the two stories?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

At a time when LGBTQIA+ people are being targeted across the country, Maryland stands firm in the belief that inclusion is not optional; it’s who we are.

graphic with governor moore with large crowd with following text overlaid: "Governor Wes Moore Celebrates Pride Month"

In our first two years in office, you see that we still have work to do, but we’ve made real progress:

We passed and enacted the Trans Health Equity Act, to expand access to gender-affirming health care coverage for trans Marylanders;

I proudly signed an executive order to protect those seeking, receiving, or providing gender-affirming health care in our state;

We doubled funding for hate crime protection from $5 million to $10 million, which includes support for LGBTQIA+ Marylanders; and

And we continue to fight for every Marylander’s right to live with safety, dignity, and authenticity by investing in areas that matter most to our people – like child care, affordable housing, and education.

Pride flags overlaid with following text: "Pride is not just a celebration – it’s a declaration: Nobody should have to justify their own humanity – and we will never apologize for that fact. We are not going backward. Together, we are going forward. Happy Pride, Maryland."

Trump is losing in the courts. He's fighting publicly with Musk. His “big beautiful bill” has stalled. Trump is now left only with his vindictive rage. And of course his money-making schemes to line his pockets. He's likely to become even more unhinged — be warned.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.
