The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

America is praying for Austin.

But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves.

God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands.

We must act.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: CBS refused to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas, after being intimidated by Trump’s FCC rules.

Trump is worried that democrats are about to flip Texas.

"This is why people don't like Democrats. The Democrats are constantly going, 'How can we talk to Republicans?'... Your attitude needs to be 'How do we beat Republicans?'"

AOC: If you can keep people divided, then you can continue to loot the economy. 

It's no coincidence here that this explosion in ICE funding is also a complete giveaway to the surveillance tech companies…

They can continue funneling billions of dollars in corruption, whether it's offshore accounts, whether it's these crypto coins, whether it's jacking up tariffs and costs on the American people so that the billionaires that funded this administration and Donald Trump himself can get away with lining their own pockets.

They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

🚨 Update: ICE is creating a watchlist of anyone and everyone who films them, DHS sources tell me:

Lots of people are realising how insane it was to vaguely support Trump. Time to face HOW FUCKING INSANE AND RECKLESS IT IS TO IGNORE CLIMATE CHANGE

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

We live in a country with:

- No universal healthcare
- No paid family leave
- No universal childcare
- No tuition-free public college
- No living wage as a minimum wage
- No guarantee of live-saving care when pregnant due to abortion bans
- An average cost of $310k to raise a child to 18 yrs old

If you want people to have kids, make it so people can afford to have kids and set them up for success.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

A general strike stopped the fascist coup in S. Korea.

A general strike is how the Italian people forced their rightwing PM to send a Navy ship protect the flotilla.

It's the only thing that'll be effective v Trump.

[free gaza, we on the corner like israelites! @AnkhDeLillo]

The South is a data center hub for a bunch of reasons: cheap land with easy access to major utilities, sympathetic Republican states, local policymakers and business leaders trying to bring in the tech market, and a disregard for the vulnerable communities that sit in the way.

@nicksortor DeSantis showing more sympathy for Charlie Kirk than others getting killed by gun violence in his state? Wow.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic: Zohran Mamdani, who is currently leading the race to become mayor of New York City, has launched a “Game Over Greed” petition that calls on FIFA to abandon its plan to use dynamic pricing for the 2026 World Cup. https://t.co/iLUWq4msRr

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

The Freedom Flotilla has over 50 boats, from 44 countries, spanning 6 continents

The largest in history:

To break an illegal 18 year Israeli 🇮🇱 siege on Gaza 🇵🇸
To feed children
To stop genocide

And western media is not covering

And western ‘leaders’ are silent.
