100 VICTIMS is astounding. Even more astounding, that's less than 10% of Epstein and Maxwell's victims.
Progress not perfection. To preserve democracy and the economic system on which it rests, the government must regulate business, protect workers, and provide a basic social safety net.

“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Doesn't someone have to know what empathy is in order to identify it?
The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.
Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" – RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.
DOL is trying to take away minimum wage and overtime from millions of workers. Just thought I’d mention that.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Journalists used to be interested in facts. They used to research things to the core in an effort to have the information they wrote about be indisputable. Now they just write for clicks, and hope for forgiveness later.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
CHICAGO…
Congress should be holding hearings on who is covering up for trump's decline
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Trump's tariff push overstepped presidential powers, appeals court says - NBC News 👠
The damage this man has done is incalculable.

Every state should outlaw law enforcement from wearing masks to hide their identities.
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
What he doesn't say is that Harris was far more qualified and ready to be president.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Happy Friday Eve!
"Faith is not a hammer, it is a lens."
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Do they fear him, or do they just hope to be on the side of untethered power?
Idk why this poor guy has been singled out as an example for their cruelty! They ALL need a comeuppance
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story." Governor JB Pritzker

This hits right on time… My wife and I had the great privilege of visiting the African-American Museum in DC, and let me just tell you if you have not been…It is a masterpiece—go.
Shouldn't the president be too busy with world matters to be micromanaging a city?

Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
It’s spreading.
I suspect when the fear hits the fan it will more likely be "i retract all my facts"
One has to wonder if the occupant thinks it is his personally
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

NEW: “I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.” Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.
No one can convince me these masked “federal agents” aren’t white supremacists having a field day.
this is so wonderfully weird, give her all the golds 🥇
Sending troops into US cities against their will. Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions. Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor. Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.
Why do they need more camps if their goal is to deport?
Just who is this administration showing force to when deploying military in our cities?
If you tell someone you love them, but never show them, is it really love?
It gets worse Trump just fully capitulated to Putin-dropping his demand for a ceasefire and telling Ukraine to give up the Donbas America never looked weaker-welcoming a war criminal, letting him dictate terms and then having the president do his bidding Zelensky is walking into a trap on Monday
The Bing cherry is named after Ah Bing, a Chinese immigrant who worked as a foreman in an Oregon orchard. The cherry was named after Ah Bing in recognition of his work in cultivating the new variety. Erased Asian American History. #AANHPI #AAPI
Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"
This represents Displays of Power As Weakness. An over-armed strike force sent to arrest a paralegal who threw a sandwich. Pathetic and deeply insecure.

We are the ones that should be making these choices...what do we want our neighborhoods to look like...do we want police and surveillance technology everywhere? Or do we want social services, mental health and drug treatment centers, restorative justice, and places where communities can gather?
“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”
Trump is invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, which authorizes him to seize control of the entire DC police department for a maximum of 30 days. This is insane stuff. D.C. is not in the grip of a crime wave. Crime has been falling for three years now. Violent crime is at a 30-year low.
"So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer, is that right?" -- Eugene Robinson guides Scott Bessent into acknowledging that tariffs are in fact paid in the United States, not by foreign governments
On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. That law prohibited racial discrimination in voting. 60 years later, the VRA is increasingly under attack by Trump, Republican governors, legislatures, and a Supreme Court trying to take us backwards.
She was always sure to close the door real tight when she left the room?
Maybe he thinks down is up?
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
Off the rails.
Maybe the problem was just trump all along?
COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to? HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.
Officer Didarul Islam was an immigrant who became a casualty of the United States’ obsession with guns. He died because we are a country that protects our firearms more than our people. That chooses to disappear immigrants instead of regulate guns. I will never get over that.

WATCH: “The current system is broken. Indiscriminate raids are tearing families apart and punishing hardworking people.” 1 of 3 marine sons of a landscaper viciously beaten by ICE testifies before Congress.
I don’t know about you, but I'm done pretending this is normal. What is happening is not okay and it never was. I understand if you’ve been feeling more sad or worried lately. I know I have.
Women who don’t have private health insurance can no longer afford the risk of having sex with men. It’s just a fact. If they get pregnant they will be financially RUINED. No more Medicaid to pay the at least $40,000 for a normal, uncomplicated delivery. Any complication and it’s twice that.
It'd be a shame if the Streisand effect kicked in and even more folks shared the link for ICEBlock: apps.apple.com/us/app/icebl...
Let me introduce you to David Wooley who works for USPS in Valley City, North Dakota. If he delivers your mail…I’m so sorry.

The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...
Authoritarianism is feeling kind of sucky. How do we get the always-Trumpers to admit: 1) it’s bad for communities 2) it targets people of color 3) it’s not about deporting criminals 4) it does not support human rights 4) it’s based on what is “best” for Trump & his interests, not the country?

Inside the Long Friendship Between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein For nearly 15 years, the two men socialized together in Manhattan and Palm Beach before a falling out that preceded Epstein’s first arrest.
This morning i met with my physiotherapist even though I wanted to do nothing but wallow in my pain. She told me how proud she was on me showing up even when i was at my worst because I showed up. Know others are proud of you for just showing up
When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.
I was recently asked why I wouldn’t want the Ten Commandments in my classroom since they’re about being a “good person.” The first commandment tells kids that if they’re not Christian, what they believe is wrong. That’s Christian Nationalism, and it’s the exact opposite of being a good person.
