The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Silencing Jimmy Kimmel: Trump & Company TRAMPLE Free Speech Rights! youtu.be/yqjFpnWXSsY?...
In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.
Charlie Kirk has left a hateful, dehumanizing legacy of words that Conservative Christians are either choosing to ignore in their zeal to canonize him, or they simply share his racist, phobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, supremacist sentiments. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-shamef...
As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
youtube.com/watch?v=ZdGL... ICYMI.... WE ARE ALLJIMMY KIMMEL Colbert nails it vehemently Please take a moment to listen
Charlie Kirk hated millions. He was a hateful bigot.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
As I have said, I will not give away my vote to Trump to fund the government for nothing. A funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state does not have my support.
Vance, like his Boss Trump, is a lying sack of shit.
Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?! They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
Lovely, Mayra. Happy to see your wonderful work here again.
Murder is bad, of course, and I'm sorry that Kirk lost his life in this way. It's too bad that a nutty right wing white Republican Christian gun nut decided to kill him. But Charlie Kirk was an evil, bigoted, hateful prick.
Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11. 24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues. A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...
When will our "leaders" in Congress grow some balls and enact sensible gun regulations?
Nailed it.
Charlie Kirk wasn’t a political activist. He was a hate-monger masquerading as an activist. Wanting gays to be stoned to death isn’t a political position - it’s hate. Saying George Floyd had it coming and Derek Chauvin should be pardoned, isn’t a conservative position - it’s hate (1/5)
I agree with you Lee No fallen hero, Mr Kirk. But today I will honor a hero Todd Beamer and so many Courageous Heroes. Firefighters &First Responders Honor the Fallen #NeverForget
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?
The largest single site ICE raid in history wasn’t for Latinos…but for Koreans. People who look like me. 😞 Our communities will continue to fall, until we realize, none of us are safe and free until all of us are safe and free.
The richest 100 billionaires in the U.S. have a net worth totaling $3.86 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is collectively worth $4 trillion. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
Is it too early to begin mourning Trump? Or is it time to finally pull the cork?
Steps away from the Capitol, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender, on Wednesday demanded that all people who received sexual favors through Epstein be identified. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Did you say 'perp' or 'perv?'
The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?
Epstein was a pervert, a sexual deviate, a rapist. Trump was his good pal. Trump is also a perv. If you love Trump, if you vote for Trump, then you adore a perv and rapist.
Hey Republican Voters, Are you against child groomers unless they have an R next to their names? Does sexual violence still sicken you if the perpetrator helps you build a theocracy? johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-the-pre... #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #EpsteinTrumpFiles #BelieveTheWomen
Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala – ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort. The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.
Another protest in Washington, D.C.!!! Women dressed in red lined the street for almost a block!! What a strong statement by women who took time off to protest on a Tuesday!! Thank you so much!! 💗
Your Labor Day reminder that Trump doesn't actually care about working people. Take it from me, a former Secretary of Labor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARL5VvYJUe8
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Just heard from over 200 veterans and military family members at our town hall in Raleigh with NC Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social. They’re fired up because Trump is cutting the services they depend on here and across the country, and we’re going to keep fighting to stop him.
Canadians accepted the assignment and excelled.
Thank you @adamkinzinger.substack.com Trump cares so much for our National Guard....NOT!! Puts them on orders for 29 days only so they are not paid housing allowance or health insurance Adam Kinzinger on X ⬇️⬇️
Yep, inflation’s on the rise again. Must be all that ‘winning’ we were promised. I’m definitely feeling it in my wallet. Are you?
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
Correct - and frightening.
CDC staff gather to honor ‘the people who protect America’ after leaders who resigned were escorted out of agency. Amid abrupt changes that have left the CDC leaderless, agency staff had been planning a show of respect called a “clap out” Thursday afternoon for the officials who resigned.
I’m not an expert but don’t we have professional groundskeepers for this type of work? Perhaps we shouldn’t be illegally deporting the innocent professional landscapers. Are they available to help in Restaurants and hotels too??
The sit in by veterans in Washington D.C. protesting Trump’s military take over is growing!! Jay Carrey, the army veteran who was arrested for burning the flag has been released and is there! These veterans will continue their sit in until the National Guard leaves DC!! 💪
He seems to be decaying from inside out. Way past time for him to leave government and retire to Mar a Lago permanently. He's not wanted in NY nor in DC and he seems to be very sick.
What a brave and committed woman. Gotta love her.
None of us are safe as long as Trump is in the White House and the Supreme Court is dominated by Trump rather than the US Constitution.
BYRON DANIELS, Republican, Florida's Congressman has taken this "Cracker Barrel " to a whole new level.. My God, Byron You found "Christ" in the parking lot....come on.. That parking lot is nothing but old cigarette butts and cracker crumbs for the poor birds ..Sunday Morning
Oh damn! Did Trump tell a lie?
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.
This is the reality of living life in a country without due process. I’m stunned by the pedestrians casually walking by and trying to ignore the horror happening in front of them. Listen to this man, a human, crying out, he’s innocent and wants his family. I do not recognize our country anymore.
They are only doing what their Nazi President directed them to do.
The Metro Police and federal agents were caught by a group of women in Washington D.C. breaking into their car and searching through it. When the women asked what they were doing, without a warrant, the officers walk around without an explanation. Those officers got aggressive with the women. 🤬
He was so comfortable around Epstein he brought his children.
Good morning beautiful Democrats. Have a wonderful Wednesday. 💙
Hello Liz. We should have coffee. I'm in Cupertino. Where are you?
We’re sooooo weird and strange out here in California that we have the FOURTH LARGEST GDP in the world. That’s how weird and liberal we are here in California. ☺️
Trump promised to bring prices down on day one. 200 days later, EVERYTHING is more expensive. Food, healthcare, energy...it's all going up.
Well, the genius bankrupted all of his businesses, why shouldn't he bankrupt the United States?
Trump is bad for the economy and will bankrupt the United States. Can we get rid of the current leadership during a Chapter 11? Asking for a friend.
Here’s a video from @meidastouch.com that Diddy Rump surely doesn’t want you to see. So, let’s pass it around, shall we? #TrumpEpsteinCoverup
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”
There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Trump posts his Nazi storm troopers everywhere.
If Trump gets indigestion or if Milania rejects him he blames President Biden. He never accepts that when things don't go well for him it's because he's a flaming asshole.
Good morning GOOD MORNING CALIFORNIA This is priceless From @paulleyticks on Twitter
Great shot!
Has this murdering bastard been arrested yet?
Why has this material been hidden from public view? The man was a convicted criminal and he is dead now. How has been protected by secrecy?
@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."
Of course you might be both. I suspect that you are and I am certainly willing to take a chance to find out. So tempting . . .
Lovely photo, Betsy. I'm Michael in the south bay.
Two Trump-appointed judges on the D.C. Circuit have upheld Trump's efforts to continue destroying the CFPB. It's a victory for corporate predators and financial scammers, who will have a far easier time picking your pocket with a defanged CFPB. https://youtu.be/u46V9GRzUtM?feature=shared
Why are they being kept hidden? Epstein is a convicted rapist of children. He is dead. Bring out all those documents NOW!
Every American Should Be Outraged I am so PROUD OF PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY and ALL of UKRAINE 🇺🇦 America, Always before Trump Republican and Democrat stood up against RUSSIAN AGGRESSION Sad Day for America
What will the BBC report when London is being attacked by Islamic terrorists now living happily in the IK?
It is not genocide. Genocide is Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad and PLO and Hamas and Houthis with the support of Iran in their attempt to destroy Israel and murder every Jew. Israel only wants to survive.
Please know that most Americans hate what Putin is doing in invading Ukraine and we hate that he does it with the support of his puppet Trump.
It would be a better idea for all republican sycophants to be examined by a professional to see what happened to their spines and mental competence.
All you had to do was listen to her.
remember that even heroes have their own heroes
What an ass! I criticize Trump every day, just as millions of Americans do. I guess that Davidson wants to be sure that his butt kissing willl assure that Trump will support Davidson's re-election campaign. Why does Ohio send this fool to Washington?
The Governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, is the commander-in-chief of the Maryland National Guard. He has a message for Donald Trump. His National Guard will not go on any missions he doesn’t deem critical!
Trump is turning our Capital into 1933 Berlin. It's obvious that Trump admired Adolf Hitler and is emulating his tactics.
How about that? A victory for people who actually read.
So Duffy is another ignorant, lying Republican asshole. No surprise in this era of Trump.
It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!
NEW: An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. By Lexi Churchill and @emsimani.bsky.social
US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts. The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.
