Trump is moving to immortalize himself with his name etched into coins, carved into pediments, and inscribed into marble. He wants to glorify himself in the most permanent ways possible.
We must not allow Trump to rewrite history with false tributes to himself.

Watch @kendallyb.bsky.socialtalk show was how Kristi Noem is living rent free in military housing that is reserved for coast guard leadership in order to better hide her affair with Corey Lewandowski. This is causing a ripple effect to active duty service members not getting base housing

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.
HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

Two of the single greatest advances of our lifetimes are mRNA technology and renewable energy tech and somehow the United States is now virulently against both.

In the U.S., a lawmaker was literally imprisoned inside the Texas legislature.
In Europe, such a violation of personal freedom and parliamentary mandate would lead to years in prison.
So much for the “beacon of democracy”: the United States is just a caricature of what it pretends to represent.

I remember as a kid wondering what 2025 would look like.
We all speculated flying cars, robots doing work...
Never would I have imagined the world got completely stupid as we are now.
We can see the problems, there are solutions to the problems, but we don't act.
Why? Because greed won't let us.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.
Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it.
It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

The right thinks Noem is the victim of Sen. Padilla's assault. But what about Rep. McIver?

I'm fairly sure that no gay or transgender soldiers have ever leaked an entire war plan to a national reporter. Maybe straight white men shouldn't be allowed in the military?
