I have to get my dad’s house cleaned out, which is gonna cost thousands of dollars. This guy showed up to pitch his services in a truck covered in fuck Joe #Biden and related stickers and it cost him real money. I’m sure it’s not the first time.
That’s your work truck, dude, and you service a county where #Trump got 36% of the vote.

Morehouse Students Show Solidarity With Gaza During #Biden Commencement Speech
"It is my stance as a #Morehouse man, nay as a human being, to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in the #Gaza Strip," said valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher.
Senators Rubio, Vance, & Scott, among others, refuse to say they'll accept election results
SCOTUS Justices Alito & Thomas are actively in support of insurrectionists
Speaker Johnson wants the Bible to supersede the Constitution
Fascism isn't headed to America—it's already here.
there's hundreds of things #Biden does wrong, some of those things especially glaring, like the #USA's support for #Israel while it commits #genocide on #Gaza
but focusing on 1 issue to the exclusion of the other 100s of issues is simply a failure in tactics
like Gaza: #Trump said "finish the problem" and he would give #Netanyahu a green light for great suffering for #Palestinians
A group of 26 states has sued the #Biden Administration to block a new interpretation of Title IX that applies it to the #LGBTQIA community. They claim it amounts to religious discrimination. If you join a certain organization, you give up certain rights. If you don't feel comfortable interacting with #LGBTQIA kids, then don't teach in public schools. By the GOP's logic, white supremacists could spout Christian identity politics and be protected from discrimination. https://alaskabeacon.com/2024/05/17/more-than-half-of-states-sue-to-block-biden-title-ix-rule-protecting-lgbtq-students/
#KnowNothing#CardiB is too stupid to realize that NOT voting for #Biden is a vote FOR #Trump, and that her boycott of #Election2024 could be her last — She might not get another opportunity to vote EVER.
“Only years later did I realize that I was mistaken, and we missed an opportunity to have a president who might actually have made America great by championing racial justice, labor rights, and the war against poverty.
I hope that today’s campus #protesters don’t repeat our mistakes by abandoning #Biden, who already has a proven record of accomplishments in his first term”
#Trump pledges to 'roll back' Democratic President Joe #Biden’s #gun#regulations put in place by Democratic President Joe #Biden & to fire the #ATF chief during a lengthy rally speech to the #NRA on Sat, during which he accepted the influential group's #endorsement.
"Tonight, Donald Trump confirmed that he will do exactly what the #NRA tells him to do - even if it means more death, more shootings, & more suffering,"— #Biden camp spox.
…Trump repeated a false claim that he won the 2020 election, & he went after Biden in aggressive terms, repeating claims of corruption that are not supported by available #evidence.
"Statisticians have debunked the data. Yet the narrative remains unchanged, even by President #Biden. Clearly, the sheer volume of the footage of suffering civilians– all projected by #Hamas, which censors pictures of dead or wounded combatants– has caused us to lose our minds. When we fought in #Afghanistan, #Syria & #Iraq, nobody debated civilian casualties. Yet when it comes to #Israel, it’s all anybody talks about"
We can vote for #Biden and get more aid to Israel, and not perfect climate policy, OR you can not vote, get #Trump who will give even more money to Israel, enforce the seizing of land in the west bank as well for property deals, end our democracy(albeit flawed democracy) and make the largest most powerful military in the world be a fascist military that will crush all decent.

I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that the extremist settler movement in Israel is rooted in the USA and culturally has a lot in common with US white supremacist/settler ideology—there's a reason Netanyahu is so comfortable with Republicans who dine at the Christian Nationalist table. https://mastodon.social/@cmonagle/112462865808610948
@cstross There was even a TV article, 60 Minutes IIRC, on American evangelicals supporting West Bank "settlers" in taking over what was agreed to be Palestinian territory. I think that support made the "settler" situation dramatically worse. #Biden is NOT to blame for far right Israeli government actions. Don't forget that #Trump actively supported Netanyahu and company, making a bad situation much worse.
As with all of her postings, everything Heather Cox Richardson says today deserves attention. She opens by noting that the Dow Jones closed above 40,000 for the first time in history. But "in comparison to the breathless coverage of the stock market during Trump’s administration, this milestone is getting very little coverage."
