ABC: Trump is frustrated gasoline prices don't mirror oil price's decline. Who would have guessed a man who thinks you need ID to buy groceries and exploding trees cause wildfires, wouldn't understand how gas works?🤡 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
As a Watergate historian, this might be the dumbest and worst take we’ve seen from JD Vance in a long time. And it’s also a complete misunderstanding of Nixon and Watergate.
JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
Trump is so afraid of losing the midterms that he's demanding the USPS not deliver ballots to millions of American voters. As judge after judge slaps down his attempts to rig the 2026 midterms, we must all remain vigilant to ensure voting remains a right promised to every American.
Judge blocks Trump order demanding Postal Service restrict mail voting
The decision marks a win for the states that have challenged the president’s effort to crack down on mail-in voting ahead of a consequential November midterm.

So, so heartbreakingly horrible. 💔
At least 188 people were killed in the two devastating earthquakes that rocked Venezuela around Wednesday, the strongest to shake this South American nation in decades. More than 1,500 people were injured and many more are still missing.
It is so absolutely simple. The Supreme Court is racist. The president is racist. The GOP is racist. A very solid chunk of America is racist. This is not a complicated matter, and when it comes to the TPS ruling, the media needs to start laying it out as it truly is.
Did he go on leave, or was he teleported somewhere?
A high-ranking FEMA official, who sparked controversy for claiming that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election and who said that he once teleported to a Waffle House, has gone on leave.
Trump won’t sign a bill that stops Wall Street from gobbling up homes regular families are trying to buy. He’s sitting on it. Letting families drown in rent and impossible prices — all so he can gut voting rights and rig 2028. Absolutely vile. #TrumpsHousingCrisis #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I’m in an angry, sarcastic mood tonight for America’s children. I’m fed up w/Not Enough Americans Voting for Children or Caring that millions are hungry, homeless and without an unconditionally loving family or healthcare. They fear, today & their futures! youtu.be/IAQVE55kV9U?... go.bsky.app/YTyqs6
Putin vowed to demilitarize Ukraine. Instead, he created a major military power. Ukraine has emerged from Europe’s largest war since WWII as a major military power capable of countering Russia on the battlefield and, increasingly, on Russian soil. www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...
Putin vowed to demilitarize Ukraine. Instead, he created a major military power.
When Putin launched the full-scale invasion in 2022, he identified the “demilitarization” of Ukraine as one his two primary war aims. It is now clear that he has failed in the most spectacular fashion...

an ambulance just rushed to my elderly neighbor’s house and gave him the best service. after a few minutes they brought him out on a stretcher under a sheet so he didn’t get cold and then drove away very slowly so he didn’t get jostled. so glad everything’s okay ❤️
my high school English teacher always thought I’d go on to do great things through the written word and I’m just glad she died before seeing that my final form is being on Bluesky
Can everyone please shut up for 5 seconds I’m over here trying to completely misinterpret the situation
@coachrusty I feel personally attacked by this relatable content. 🦋😅😶🌫️🤣🩵
Please, someone help me feel less crazy, after my lifetime of being gaslight, scapegoated, triangulated, abused, assaulted, stalked, persecuted; worse when I became an international activist for human/animal/environmental rights... It's the world that's crazy right now, not just me or you, RIGHT??
