This #epstein press conference where survivors are speaking is incredible. The unity & power of this group of women (and their families) is so moving.
🚨Governor Pritzker is calling Stephen Miller OUT! 👏🏻The👏🏻Cruelty👏🏻is👏🏻the📌
The ad campaign criticizing the use of masks by federal agents working in Washington, D.C. has expanded to 115 bus stops, per organizers
The largest rally of Epstein survivors is happening right now. The system tried to silence them, but they’re louder than ever.
More of this.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Appeals court cleared Trump’s EPA to scrap $16 billion in Biden-era climate grants dismantling clean energy funding for nonprofits. Environmentalists warn this gutting sabotages the fight against climate change while rewarding political cronyism… www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
. THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . . ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ .
Kilmar Abrego-Garcia is incarcerated here at the Farmville,VA ICE detention center. 166 people from Farmville, Richmond, Lynchburg, Charlottesville vigiled Sunday 8/31. You are not forgotten Kilmar.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Being pro-drowning of children seems like a real are-we-the-baddies moment www.npr.org/sections/sho...
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
"It's not alarmist to say that these are goons, this is a secret police that is going into our cities to kidnap people, abduct people off the streets" @katmabu.bsky.social on the dangers of ICE agents and potentially troops roaming the streets of Chicago.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
“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.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
All of the Senators and Congressmen who voted to take away everything from their constituents are now leaving gov't so they won't have to face the angry mobs. They'll get lifetime pensions, cheap healthcare, etc with our tax dollars while we get nothing. That's socialism for me but not for thee.
Not. Soon. Enough.
They are disappearing undesirables. They are deploying the military into cities. And now they are trying to commandeer railway stations. I can’t put my finger on it but this sounds familiar.
Will 'hurt American families': Economists sound alarm on new Trump attack
🚨BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Trump’s ICE raids? Illegal. His National Guard power grab? Illegal. Tariffs? Courts say illegal. And Brad Sherman admitted he “often agrees” with Trump’s tariffs. MAGA fascists + corporate Democrats enable this. Why are we playing catch-up? #CD32 #AhujaCongress2026 #ChrisAhuja #Ahuja #NoKings
“A dangerous crank — what on Earth are you on about??!” @chrislhayes.bsky.social goes in on RFK Jr. for claiming he can diagnose kids just by looking at them.
I love this ad by Gavin Newsom! Must watch 👇👇👇👇👇
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”
While they were ordering FBI agents to spend their time "flagging" mentions of Trump in the Epstein files so they could decide what NOT to release the to the public... the Minneapolis school shooter's plans were visible on the internet for a month.
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
Fascism NEVER, ever —not once— argues in good faith. They only ever argue in search for and support of their hate. That is as deep and as real as the right’s “concern” extends. The moment you accept this historical fact is the moment you cease to be a centrist.
The damage RFK Jr. and his merry band of conspiracy theorists are doing at DHS and CDC is going to kill a lot of people.
Just in case you forgot…
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
😡🤬😡
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Canceling clean energy programs means fewer projects, higher costs, and more burden on working families. That’s the wrong direction. Clean energy creates jobs, lowers bills, and builds the infrastructure we need.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Maybe somebody should inform the rich assholes that they need the CDC, too, or us filthy serfs will breathe our unvaccinated germs into their food.
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
Don’t look away
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
So if you assault an officer with a flagpole, taser or bear spray, you get praised and might even get the Air Force to honor you. But if you throw a sandwich at an officer, they keep trying to come up with new charges for you when the grand jury tells you to fuck off with the felony charges.
A former GOP strategist warned Trump may try to disrupt the 2026 midterms by deploying troops, citing his risk-taking history and enjoyment of public outrage. www.rawstory.com/trump-troops...
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
COVID cases are on the rise -- and RFK just took away the ability for millions of Americans get COVID vaccines. COVID shots are now only FDA approved for 1) people 65+ and 2) people w/ underlying conditions that put them at severe risk. That's it. www.huffpost.com/entry/covid-...
IT'S THE GUNS. #GunControlNow
They’re going to rebrand it as the Centers for Disease Creation
You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Clearly, incomplete landscaping at national monuments counts as an emergency that requires mobilization of multiple states’ national guard units
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: “We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired."
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
He's gonna make kids go to work camps because he can atmospherically deduce chakra misalignment.
There's not much love to go around. Thanks for the recommendation.
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
They left their homes, families, and jobs to pick up garbage in the street. Ridiculous.
The US National Guard. We’re looking for a few good janitors.
Trump Admin Delivers Another Major Blow to California High Speed Rail
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has assumed full federal control of Washington DC's Union Station and has taken it over from Amtrak. Trump isn't "fixing" anything - he's consolidating POWER in the nation's capital, one takeover at a time.
ICYMI: Trump has just about decimated the federal workforce, with more than 199,000 people pushed out since Jan, per a new report. Nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce gone. “The services that Americans have come to expect are not going to be there.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
MAGA: "Government healthcare is socialism!" Also MAGA: "YAY, government-run trains!"
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Litter is definitely a massive emergency that warrants mobilizing units from several states’ National Guard, arming them heavily and sending them into the streets of the capital.

Might be a good time to know that there is a GI Rights Hotline that can counsel people trying to get out of the military. girightshotline.org
Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
Identity theft used to be a crime but now it’s just a Trump Cabinet meeting agenda item.
Makes a great recruiting ad. “Leave your home. Travel a thousand miles in the back of a truck. Be deployed in America and reviled by everyone. Pick up garbage.”
Trump now has the “warfighters” picking up trash near the White House. www.fox5dc.com/news/nationa...
They've left their jobs and families behind to pick up garbage in DC.
This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C. Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?

"Congress should recognize this dangerous trajectory and reject the Intel deal before government ownership becomes the norm in strategic American industries and U.S. economic leadership is lost." The latest from @scottlincicome.bsky.social:
The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
I'm deeply concerned for Kilmar Abrego Garcia's health and safety at the privately-owned Farmville detention center. A 2024 report showed the facility violated ICE's own standards for detention. It's time for DHS to end this game and respect the judges who have ruled. www.wric.com/news/taking-...
