The right wing can’t accept that protesters are not paid

They don’t understand that people actually oppose their disgusting policies.

Have you seen the MAGA propaganda around the #NoKings marches held across the county? MAGA claim all the millions of marchers were paid. Not by Soros but by the CCP, Chinese Communist Party. That we are all communists 🤣🤣 They can’t understand we fight for Democracy FOR FREE #Propaganda

Trump is really leaning into his lie that the protesters in Los Angeles are being paid by some nefarious force

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-10T22:38:52.841Z

"Speaker Johnson recently dismissed angry voices at Republican town halls as "paid protesters." That’s a convenient excuse-but it’s a lie. People showing up, demanding answers, are real constituents, many of them lifelong Republicans, who are frustrated and scared." – Former IL Rep Adan Kinzinger

Bluesky posts onTrump’s latest pro-Putin lie

I hope someday we find out why Trump is so pro-Putin. I think he owes Russia money. Just a guess. I don’t think the pee tape is real (though I wish it was).

Fact check: Russia was removed from the G8 for invading Ukraine

— Andrea Chalupa (@andreachalupa.bsky.social) 2025-06-16T16:40:40.550Z

Russia did not invade Ukraine in 2022 because the G8 kicked Russia out.The G8 kicked out Russia in 2014 *in response* to Russia forcefully taking Crimea from Ukraine.The timing and rationale is well documented. It's not in dispute. It's just that the US president is a Russian-sympathetic liar.

— Nicholas Grossman (@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social) 2025-06-16T15:58:53.729Z

The G8 became the G7 after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and was suspended from the group.Stephen Harper was the prime minister of Canada in 2014.

Trump’s parade was a waste of money

There are much better things the money could have been spent on.

“I hope you do not think I am going soft on Trump if I tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed the entire parade,” Max Boot writes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202…

It’s still a poor use of federal funds. Let’s see if Trump really reimburses DC for any damage to the streets.

New York’s Pigeon Fest

Thousands of people gathered on the High Line in New York on Saturday for Pigeon Fest, inspired by an artist’s sculpture and an appreciation for the city’s most resilient birds. The highlight for many was the pageant. See more photos. nyti.ms/4e5R2vD

Trump’s white nationalist policy – remigration

“The State Department plans to create an ‘Office of Remigration’ … , a department official told Axios *** In Europe, the concept of remigration calls for the mass deportation or coerced repatriation of non-white immigrants & their European-born descendants.” 5/30/25 1/ http://www.axios.com/2025/05/30/s…

Schumer still doesn’t get it

What is he doing to help? He should be replaced as minority leader with someone who will do more to fight back against Trump.

I joined 8,000 environmental leaders to push back on Trump's “Big, Ugly Betrayal."The GOP plan raises taxes on energy, increases costs for families and businesses, and kills hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs to give tax breaks to billionaires.We won't stop fighting back.

Mike Lee, Bernie Moreno and more right wing liars lie about the accused Minnesota assassin

He is a Trump supporter, not a Marxist. They know better and are lying.

It’s not just Mike Lee — Bernie Moreno is pretending that a registered Republican evangelical anti-abortion Trump voter who assassinated a Democrat and had more on his hit list is a representative of “the extreme left”

— Kevin M. Kruse (@kevinmkruse.bsky.social) 2025-06-15T19:56:10.662Z

It's impressive how the Republicans like Mike Lee who cape as the most "principled, moral, and historically informed" of the bunch turn out to be the most shameless, lying propagandists.

Adam Kinzinger on Scott Walker

After the murders in Minnesota, Tim Walz called for "grace and compassion and vision and compromise and decency." Some Republicans chose a far uglier course.Take the increasingly unhinged Sen. Mike Lee, for example. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo…

MAGA knows the killer was one of their own. They lie and say he was a Democrat because the truth makes them look bad. It’s not about facts. It’s about poison. Lie fast, lie loud, and count on people to forget the correction. It doesn’t matter if it’s true. What matters is how it feels to their base.

You may wonder why Don Jr. and a few Republicans in Congress are calling Boelter a leftist when people close to him say he was a Trump and InfoWars fan. #Misinformation is most effective when it is early. It gets harder to convince someone to change their mind as time goes on.

Article on “You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) ” by the Beatles

“You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)” is a strange song with an equally strange history. The sax solo is by Brian Jones who was dead by the time it was released. It sounds like the Bonzo Dog Band or Monty Python, not like the serious “Let It Be” on the other side of the single.

The “joke” Beatles song that features Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones
