I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?
This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

It’s not the first time Bostonians have been called radicals for resisting tyranny. Those radicals founded America. Those radicals were patriots. That’s what we are. American patriots.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people.

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it.

They just don’t care.

They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

So instead of trade deals he’s just going to publicly negotiate with himself until he walks back the tariffs?

We get a couple of months of supply chain shock and nothing to show for it besides damaged relationships across the world.

The overuse of executive orders reflects a systemic erosion of democratic process. Unilateral decrees replace legislative debate and undermine the balance of powers at the heart of constitutional governance.

I’ve recently gotten the MMR, polio and tetanus/diptheria, etc. shot. Get em while you can.
I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠

old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past
🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.
