Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Pissed off and exhausted progressive. Appreciative of the beautiful warriors out there. Working on a way to stay sane going forward 💙

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
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."
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
This “Katrina” anniversary weekend, here’s a program I did for BBC radio on the tenth anniversary. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social take this advice please 🙏

Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
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
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Jasmine Crockett is one Woman I Believe,and I Believe In Her......
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
He treats America like a reality show.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just demanded a special Senate committee hearing on the crisis at the CDC, making RFK Jr testify under oath on the disaster he's created. Go Bernie!
Why haven't there been front page stories about the bizarre, North Korea-like 3 hour Trump "cabinet meeting"? The absence of such coverage of the conduct of Trump and his cronies explains why most people don't know how truly dangerously unhinged our government has become.
Shuler: They want to convince people that we are each other’s enemies—that we need to fight one another to land a good job, to find a home in a safe neighborhood, that only so many of us can live with dignity at the same time. But we are not each other’s enemies. We are each other’s neighbors
The judge Trump is calling “radical left” is Judge Dianna M. Gibson who was appointed in 2018 by Republican Governor Gary R. Herbert

Screams "warrior ethos"
ICE will never know peace in my town! Always the women standing up!! ✊
It is Wednesday and on Wednesdays we sign up to canvass. zohranfornyc.com/events
This is not who we are. We must join together to call this out, to make more people understand what is happening and work to stop it.
Trump also didn’t read it
🚨🚨🚨 This. More of this.
Yeah, IT’S everywhere because gay people exist everywhere. How did you Explain to your grandkids what a pimp is and what women are doing rubbing up on each other in YOUR videos hypocrite it’s simple gay people have kids with IVF or adoption. So disappointed nypost.com/2025/08/25/e...
I don’t know if this qualifies as spilling the 🫖 But release the damn Epstein files already.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Virginia Giuffre, the sex trafficking victim who accused the Duke of York of sex crimes, wrote an autobiography which will be published posthumously later this year. Giuffre claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke when she was 17. She died by suicide at the age of 41 in April.

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
This is what dictators sound like
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
This is how it’s done!!! There weren’t cameras in 1935 Germany!
🚨 San Diego sends ICE packing! Power to the People! ✊🏼 Love seeing white people standing up. 1/2
DC updates, August 23
They believe they can seize control of our city. Washington, D.C., is currently experiencing a beautiful vibe and energy tonight. Free DC ✊
Know your rights, Chicago. Ask for a warrant. Record the goons from a safe distance. We don’t want or need them here.
Frost is the future!
Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant. They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.
Warren: He said that with a single phone call he would end the war in Ukraine. He said he would end the war in Gaza. And I think I remember him saying he would release all of the Epstein files… He promised that on day one he would lower costs for American families. We are now on day 215.
Frost: On one end, we have the big ugly law. And then on the other, we have the federal government occupying our cities.. It's not two different things. It's the same damn thing. These aren't things that distract from one another. This is the thing to enable the other thing,
- Appreciate Newsom Fighting Fire w/ Fire - Appreciate Pritzker Standing Up for Texas Dems - Appreciate Mamdani Bringing Fresh Hope to the Party - Appreciate AOC and Bernie Taking On the Oligarchs We need ALL of these voices now! Let's worry about 2028 after we secure OUR VOTE and DEMOCRACY.

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 🧵
Former mistress posted a TikTok video alleging that GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione fantasized about adding his “baby gravy” to cookies for his daughter’s bake sale hoping neighborhood children would eat them.
Elizabeth Warren: "The one thing I want to remind everyone is when Democrats get in power again -- and we will -- we've got to change the rules. We've got to change the rules on the impact of money in politics and we've got to pass the voting rights act again and make sure there is true protection."
Garcia: This is streaming live right now on MeidasTouch to their 5 million subscribers. If you’re not familiar with them, they do incredible work—and I’m truly grateful for how they consistently cover stories that the mainstream media often overlooks.
Breaking news: A federal judge is giving Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz. The ruling forbids state officials from moving any other migrants there.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Oh my God

Shoutout to DC for the amazing turnout yesterday! #FreeDC
Leave my Chocolate City alone!
I would literally pay good money for a reporter to quote this and ask Leavitt on Monday how Vladimir Putin knew the "real" unreported 2020 numbers well enough to tell Trump he won by so much.
Mr. Swan has stirred up controversy, however,what He is Saying about Chump and America, Rings True.......
DAILY MEMO: A Man Was Killed Running From ICE While Border Patrol Mobbed Governor Newsom’s “Big Beautiful Press Conference” in Little Tokyo and More @eltragon.bsky.social
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
When you’re having trouble with your DUI field test…
An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
Republican House candidate Brandon Herrera: “I often think about putting a gun in my mouth, so I’m basically an honorary veteran.”
Hold strong. The people of Texas and our fellow Americans have your backs.
I’m ashamed I’ve never seen this bravery and creativity. Chaplin’s speech is every bit as relevant today! This is why the right is so afraid of artists and free thought! 💙
"Trying to silence me": Beto O'Rourke responds to Texas AG's threat to arrest him
Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."
Notice they don’t deny it. Corruption and grift at every turn. 🇺🇸
I love this trolling of Mango Mussolini. 🤣

Karen Bass: "You don't deploy the armed forces because of people's feelings."
Liking him more every day
Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.
"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."

Ya have to wonder why the media is ignoring this? Are they being pressured by The Fat Fuck Occupying Our White House?
Ohio managed to get thousands of people to hold hands and link arms in a human chain that stretched 8 miles to stand against ICE. 8 miles of humans linked together.
