Canadians stop telling Natives it happened a long time ago: -50% of human trafficked victims in Canada are Native despite them making up only 5% of the population -Thousands of Native women were forcibly sterilized against their will due to eugenics legislation in Canada
It took hours to make this and takes only one second to like. #stopmotion
We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.
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.
🧵The "Climate Working Group" at Departnent of Energy was Steve Koonin, Judith Curry, John Christy, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. They are climate contrarians, akin to the antivax scientists RFK Jr put into study the vaccine-autism link. 1/ www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...
REPUBLICAN @RepThomasMassie says the Epstein files *release* was bogus
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
when you’re upset at the cool kids for not inviting you to their lunch table
Today I began another year coaching the local high school writing club. If I can help these kids grow into seeing the world with open eyes, and then show it to others in ways that help them see too, I’ll feel that I did something that matters. And quietly needling the school board doesn’t hurt.
Big wins in Florida! Dems scored big in special legislative elections: • Rashawn Young expanded a Harris +35 seat into a +50 victory (75%–25%). • Lavon Brace Davis expanded a Harris +23 seat into a +45 blowout (73%–27%). That’s a 15–22 point swing toward Democrats. GOP is on defense.
I have now lived a long and full life, with a Republican Treasury Secretary saying that adding a national sales tax -- imposed on an odd assortment of goods -- *raises* economic growth. Can't wait to raise other taxes to raise growth further. Or to double tariffs so we can double growth.
Huh. No mention of the $787.5M lie fine.

The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to decide if citizens can still enforce the Voting Rights Act, after a federal appeals court ruled that only the government — not private citizens — can sue to enforce protections against racial discrimination in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
And now I just learned our president ordered the murder of 11 people. Every day a new low.
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?
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
Scott Jennings and Ben Shapiro are currently both sitting at a panel table on CNN, not OANN. Seems like a pretty good barometer of where things are in this country. 😕🇺🇸
how are you even supposed to take spy movies seriously when laura loomer is making intelligence decisions oh, there’s an elaborate plot to steal the nation’s secrets? the ones being emailed to the lady who handcuffed herself to the twitter building? how dare they ruin one of the best genres
This is how it's done. Come prepared. Interrupt them immediately when they lie. Confront them with the science. Show them the video. When they say anything that isn't true – call them out. Don't back down.
And just so this is even more clear-Kasie Hunt is not even a liberal. She def would give trump points back in the day when I watched her. i don’t for a long time now-but you cannot say she is biased!
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
🟪🟦🟩🟨🟧🟥 #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory
Killing 11 Venezuelans in an attempt to create a bigger story than the Trumpstein files is probably a crime.
Phang: The judge notes that the MacArthur Park show of force was just sheer political theater. Major General Sherman, objected, expressing concern that there would be a large number of people because it was Father’s Day. To which Bovino criticized him, questioning his loyalty to the country.
Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.
Dear 2nd Amendment voters: If Trump can send the Texas National Guard into Illinois against that state’s will, what stops the next president from doing the same, except to take your guns?
Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
Rep. Robert Garcia: "The Attorney General herself has said that President Trump is in the Epstein files."
Rep. Jim McGovern: "Republicans are terrified because the president doesn't want to release all the Epstein files after promising that he would release them during the campaign ... What are they trying to hide?"
This is what it said to me just now. Jfc
Russia today let slip its real "peace plan" Chief of its General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, displayed this map. It shows the Mykolaiv and Odesa regions as part of territory controlled by the Terrorist State. It was probably deliberate to mock Trump and threaten Zelenskyy.
Russia 'blatantly interfered' with GPS signals, forcing a plane carrying the EU Commission president to circle a Bulgarian airport for an hour before landing. Deprived of all GPS in Plovdiv yesterday, pilots eventually landed safely using paper maps for navigation. #StopRussis
Day 1288 of Russia's illegal war and I'm leaving the airport, so time to start another daily thread. All the important Ukraine and Russia news, every single day, in one place.
This insanity must end.
A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said Trump failed to justify claims that the Venezuelans targeted by his declaration had mounted an “invasion” or “predatory incursion” against the United States at the direction of the Venezuelan government. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
🇺🇦 Zelensky: It is obvious that these are demonstrative Russian strikes. Putin is demonstrating his impunity. And this definitely requires a reaction from the world. It is precisely about the need for strong pressure measures that we will talk with our partners these days.
Feels awfully like London is a thriving global capital rather than a "third world hell hole" or whatever Nigel Farage says, and Britain can still build transformational infrastructure projects. Maybe the government should make something of that?
💬 Peace depends on Ukraine recognizing Moscow’s claims on Ukrainian territories and adopting permanent neutrality, says Russian FM Lavrov.
Well, now he’s trying to get us into a war with Venezuela before the midterms
I grew up in a very Pennsylvania Dutch part of PA-transplanted to a very schmatta part of Manhattan-for sure I would lob some sauerkraut at him!
This is what happens when you replace actual knowledge, expertise, experience, ability and even really basic common sense, with shockingly dumb patronage based on ego, corruption and racism. The United States probably now has the dumbest appointed government on the planet.
They do for these kinds of cases.
*grifting
Not just insanity. He’s admittedly governing only for his voters, stealing money from Dem voters & using our tax dollars to violently oppress and repress us where we live. And GOP & courts let him. It’s beyond insane. It’s beyond unconstitutional. It’s immoral.
He’s drifting off of his own voters, a cryptocurrency that’s his voters and then people Putin
How do we know he wasn’t blowing up that boat for Putin-just saying…
What will they blow up at the same time thats bigger than that boat.
They want their peeps who are filled w hate and ignorance to believe this kind of thing is just fine.
I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.
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?"
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

I once took a test to get bonded for a job… One of the questions on the test was ‘Do you root for the bad guys?’ Think about that- think about how many Americans are rooting for the bad guys… Many of them knowingly!
Pritzker should mobilize the Illinois National Guard to oppose them. Extreme? Maybe. But I don’t see why he should just let another state effectively invade his.
If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.
Sure. Trust the former heroine addict who had a brain worm eat what was still left in there.
Americans who didn’t think it would matter who won. Americans who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a Black woman. Americans who believed Trump didn’t *mean* it. I marvel at this almost daily.
Texas state Sen. Charles Perry (R) apologized on the Senate floor Tuesday, after Democracy Docket reported last week on racist remarks he made about immigrants at a 2022 legislative hearing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Felon/GOP’s politically motivated military occupation, like what you would expect from a hostile enemy nation, is an ATTACK on USA prosperity! Blue states/cities are the economic engine, providing the MAJORITY of funding for red states/cities! Crime rates are higher in red states/cities/rural areas!
"A new Way to Win poll, conducted with Lake Research Partners, offers a rarity for Democrats in this political moment: Hope," write @jenancona.bsky.social & @celindalake.bsky.social in USA Today Opinion. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Studies repeatedly show that most people age out of "hardcore" crime by their late 30s and 40s. And nobody is "born to be" a criminal. Even Trump, who is a hardcore criminal who has not aged out of his illicit behavoir, was not born like this. I blame his parents.
at the risk of repetition: gavin who?
Polls show most Americans think crime is rising because 'crime' is a catch-all term. But, there are dozens of evidence-based ways to reduce disorder and fight crime, and many of the most effective approaches do not involve the police. open.substack.com/pub/johnkrom...
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law that prohibits using the military as a domestic police force. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
HUGE: "Nevertheless, at Defendants’ orders and contrary to Congress’s explicit instruction, federal troops executed the laws. ... In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act." Working link here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
again we’re seeing how the glide path toward authoritarian overreach here is disrupted by regular people than by big institutions or the powerful people who run them
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.

BREAKING: Trump, Hegseth violated the Posse Comitatus Act with their troop deployment to Los Angeles, Judge Charles Breyer rules after trial. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The biggest thing about Trump's absence from public view is that Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social will be holding a press conference tomorrow with many Epstein victims. Trump was Epstein's bestie.
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
Trump is in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Maybe he needs to rethink his pending announcement.
In order to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files Republicans went on break 2 weeks early hoping the story would go away. They’re back in DC now. You know what they’re going to find out? It didn’t go away. It ain’t gonna go away! #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
if people yell at you for advocating "moderation" on trans rights on Bluesky but not on Twitter the reason for that might be because Elon Musk, the guy who runs and owns Twitter, explicitly censored trans people's accounts and posts.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?
watching other countries sign real trade deals like

Big deal! I can detect heart failure far faster than AI, as long as there is no particular requirement for being right.
Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change
NEW: Trump will be making an announcement from the Oval tomorrow at 2 PM ET.
