literally a cartoon image of a “criminal”
I’m walking past humvees in the the nation’s capital, seeing viral images of Black and brown people being disappeared by masked agents in broad daylight, and Trump is saying law enforcement should “knock the hell out of” them. But the trending debate is over words Dems shouldn’t say. I hate it here.
Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
How I yearn for the day when all that gold crap is removed, along with the guy who put it there. The stain, on the other hand, will never fully wash away.
One quarter of Israelis protested.
Many of us know But in case you aren't old enough 56 YEARS AGO From August 15-18 Was WOODSTOCK I was not old enough my parents wouldn't let me go. But WOW, nearly 500 Thousand did! And check this out Ticket prices for all 3 days $18 in advance and $24 at the gate !! THE BEST EVER PERFORMED
I’d like to live in a country where they’re more outraged over children being murdered in our schools than a guy sleeping on a bench
Yes! Wake up America!
No longer can Democrats abide by “when they go low, we go high” The Trump Cult Party have proven that not only will they lie, cheat, steal-but they’ll start a coup, beat cops and break into the Capitol to get power Ethics be damned, sadly. In order to save the country, we have to win
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."
📌This is an AP photo of Ukrainian soldier Artem, aka “Lisnyk,” of the Da Vinci Wolves Battalion. He was wounded this week fighting against Russian forces on the front lines of HIS country in Ukraine. A day later, the odious Trump rolled out the red carpet for the murdering Putin. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
NEW: National Guard troops deployed to DC by President Trump are now preparing to carry weapons. It's a significant shift—defense officials emphasized two days ago that troops would not be armed or have weapons in their vehicles.
"Siri, what does it mean when someone 'says the quiet part out loud?'"
As he unleashes troops to combat "crime," Trump is simultaneously gutting the cops on the beat that stop corporations from harming us — the EPA, IRS, SEC, Labor Department, FTC, CFPB, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Hello?
HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of protesters chant “Fuck Donald Trump!” as they march through the streets of DC (Video: DRM News)
As of now, the authoritarians are winning.
ANCHORAGE…
People loudly jeering these unidentified federal agents. "You're not helping anyone!" "How much overtime are you getting paid to do nothing!" "Boooo!"
Talarico owns Will Cain so hard that he has to tap out of their interview based on "time"
Don’t let this fade away
200 days into Trump's term, where are we? In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.
WOW. This new Ari Kuschnir short about Donald Trump's White House ballroom is AMAZING.
Where are the demands for town halls? Did the Democratic Party just forget?
@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "Texas Democrats are showing these blue state Democrats how to have a backbone, how to have a spine, how to meet this historic moment. We're in the minority in Texas, but we're still using every single tool in our toolbox, including this quorum break, to fight."

The President is taking approx $1B of taxpayer funds from a military project to refurbish a plane given to him by a foreign nation, which he plans on taking with him when he leaves office. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...
The more Trump’s tyranny is exposed, the stronger the resistance. The worse it gets, the larger the backlash. The crueler and more vicious his regime becomes, the more powerful the alliances being formed at every level of society and the world to stop him. Keep up the fight.
Last night,Tel Aviv: Tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands in End the War Now protest. I've seen no numbers (& never trust crowd numbers). Inside main square, barely room to breath. Streets around were full. Flags? Yes. When autocrats rule, protest is patriotism. cc @joshtpm.bsky.social
What if fascism arrives and begins to take hold, but people are too bored and unserious to notice?

NPR and PBS received ~$85 million last year in federal funding. Trump’s golf trips will cost taxpayers over $100 million this year. Republicans think kids learning to read is wasteful spending and indoctrination, while giving a blank check to their cult leader to golf isn’t.
If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.
Tomorrow: Good Trouble lives on. July 17, we show up, speak out, and make some noise across the country. Spread the word. 📢
You can’t be justifying your own pessimism about other Americans like this when we’ve got polling data that says every time a spotlight gets shined on deportation or detention, the polling for Trump on that issue takes a huge hit. (Chart from @gelliottmorris.com)
I stand with the United Farm Workers — NOT those cosplay cowards pictured below 👇🏼
Congrats everyone, we now have 35% tariffs on Canada for no apparent reason
Q: “What keeps you up at night?” JUSTICE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON: “The state of our democracy.” 🇺🇸 😕
more businesses need signage like this brownsville flea market
New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
The thing about masked ICE agents is that they aren't just a harbinger of bad things to come (though they are). They represent a significant breach of norms and undemocratic shift that has already happened. Transparency at all stages of the judicial process is a pillar of democracy.
As much as Trump wants to appear all-powerful, he is an unpopular lame-duck president who just signed into law the worst piece of legislation in modern American history. But we don’t just have to sit back and take it. Instead, we choose to organize. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups
FOX: I think American citizens are willing to do the jobs that illegal immigrants are willing to do. LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Americans *are* willing to do the job. What we have to give them is the opportunity to have those jobs.
As @MarshaBlackburn & @RepTimBurchett try to gaslight you into believing Trump’s Trillions Transfer helps regular people, the reality:
ICE is going to get someone killed. This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District. If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car. Hope everyone’s OK. (Multi-angle footage)
A picture everyone should celebrate.👇
If blue states kept their money, they would be fine or even better off. Red states would be in deep financial trouble. Example: California is the fourth largest economy on Earth. It grows over one third of America’s vegetables and two thirds of its fruits and nuts.
The United States celebrated Independence Day today by cruelly giving millions of its poorer citizens independence from their healthcare.
So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.
No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.
Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Taking from those in need and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this with their budget bill. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]
Was down to my local Giant and bumped into Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, Bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, D.C. who so powerfully called for compassion and true justice during January's inauguration services at The National Cathedral
"After months of trying to play nice with the MAGA mouthpieces, Newsom has perhaps come to realize they aren’t interested in the truth," @passantino.bsky.social writes in his Saturday @status.news column about the California's $787 million lawsuit against Fox News. www.status.news/p/gavin-news...
Musk is an immigrant. Melania is an immigrant. Trump’s first wife—an immigrant. All his kids except Tiffany are 1st generation kids. Bezos’s wife—an immigrant. Zuckerberg’s in-laws—immigrants. JD Vance’s in-law immigrants. Remind the public every day!
The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.
E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.
THE VIEW: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate? JASMINE CROCKETT: No. Not at all.
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
New Orleanians. Our time has come.
LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.
“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)
The Constitution is crystal clear: the president does not have the authority to go to war with Iran without approval by Congress. I strongly support bipartisan efforts to prevent Trump from unilaterally dragging us into another war in the Middle East.
Acknowledging the reality! Amen.
🚨In a 6-3 ruling, the Roberts Court upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Roberts claimed the ban doesn’t discriminate based on sex. All three liberal justices dissented. Medical decisions should be made by doctors and their patients, not politics.
IMO people going to immigration hearings should be accompanied by friends in ICE outfits to look like they're already in custody--go to their hearings, determine the outcome, then leave with "ICE," the friends who will see them safely home.
Bet DC hasn’t had more people praying for rain than today since the Brits burned the Capitol
And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.
they're having a hard time hiding their boredom
Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.
i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

No Kings! Day of Defiance! Keep it classy, y’all!!! 😉 Setting the mood with an oldie but a goodie! 🖕🎂
PSA: We will be focusing on the “No Kings” rallies rather than his military charade, and we encourage other outlets to do the same. (‘Many people are saying’ they will have a much bigger turnout)
From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.
Noem's claims that Senator Padilla was "lunging" and didn't identify himself are immediately evident as lies from the video. Does this regime ever face any accountability for obviously lying about important things, or are their media and their voters disinterested in this?
I’m speaking today at rallies in Charleston & Columbia, SC. Make your voices heard today. Trump is the very thing our Founders feared. We will resist him. We will resist him at every turn. That is our right. Do not be afraid. No Kings in America. No fucking kings. #NoKings
Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."
NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“
Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.
You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was
Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."
Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why: ✅ Free school meals ✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit ✅ Paid family and medical leave
