The guys who most complained about wearing masks during Covid now wear bigger ones to intimidate people and to hide their identities.
Effing cowards and hypocrites . Shame on all of these racist asswipes

[𝕷𝖚𝖈𝖎𝖋𝖊𝖗 @LucifersTweetz]

With Patriot Front marching through the streets, it's a good time to remember that throat-punching a Nazi is a moral obligation.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A White Supremacist group has now joined Trump’s 250 celebration in D.C. and is now marching to call for the end of immigration.

This is why Trump is a cancer to everything America represents. We defeated nazism in WW2. They want to take us backwards.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

In a civilized democracy, thousands of citizens would emerge from their homes and kick the shit out of these Nazi incels.

We are far too tolerant.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

[Anarc-y princess @SatireAP]

Well I’ll be damned. Kash said we wouldn’t see Patriot Front again, but now there’s even more of them.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

My statement on America at 250 and the state of the country:

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

Section 224, which is pretty much guaranteed to pass at this point unless massive opposition is mobilized against it, is the most dangerous and deranged policy in modern US history. It fully integrates the US and Israeli militaries and transforms the "US sends Israel arms" legal-policy framework to "US and Israel are one and the same". It will make any embargo let alone limitation on weapons practically impossible to impose. It is unprecedented in all of history for a country to do this with its own military, and further proves that Zionists and Israel wholly own the US.

Any politician and media outlet and just any person with a large platform who is not vocally and repeatedly opposing this is actively or tacitly helping ensure a permanent enslavement of the US to the genocidal Israeli death-cult and a guarantee that it will continue its genocide and wars indefinitely.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years, what do we see? ... we see the wealthiest country in the history of the world -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: The U.S. Congress is expected to stand down and allow the Israeli military to be integrated with the U.S. military under Section 219 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

It turns out the great egg price increase that helped topple Joe Biden's presidency was <checks notes> due to an alleged conspiracy among egg producers to artificially increase prices and the coverage of that fact is a blink-and-you-miss-it story on the NYT website 🙃

[Samantha Power @SamanthaJPower]

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost:

• USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose.
• According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children.
• Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths.
• USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history.
• Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed.
• 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion.
• 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months.
• $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated.
• 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed.
• Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people.
• American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.

We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.

Wow!

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

Don't call this an integration if the two militaries: this is creating a clear hierarchy, with Israel on top and the US under its command.

How do I know that? It is simple: under the new agreement, the US will have to share its secrets with Israel, but Israel won't be obliged to share anything with the US.

No parallel legislation was passed in Israel, and none will ever pass. The US chooses to be controlled by Israel

[Tara Dublin aka Winona Spyder™️ @taradublinrocks]

When we found out Eric Swalwell was a sexual predator, we ran him out of Congress within 2 weeks

SCOTUS officially defined Trump as an adjudicated rapist & his name is in the Epstein Files almost as much as Jeffrey Epstein’s, yet Republicans remain loyal

We are not the same🤬

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Genuinely insane stuff. The law will require the pentagon to make itself dependent on Israel. Israeli tech, Israeli AI systems etc will be integrated into all the highest classification functions of the US military. They lost the public opinion war so now they’re going to set it up so any future anti-Israel president will be deposed in a military coup

[Ben Meiselas @meiselasb]

That JD Vance interview with Michael Knowles was really bad. Admitting he and Trump just did the MOU to “build up our stocks” and “we want to play more games” with Iran and “have more cards to play” when the 60 days are up. You realize Iran sees these interviews also?
