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."
Expensive gardeners and garbage workers.
The ongoing National Guard mission in Washington, DC, part of President Donald Trump’s effort to fight crime in the city, is estimated to cost about $1 million a day, experts told CNN.
It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.

@marcelias.bsky.social Give them Hell, Marc!
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
Happy Labor Day, Michigan ✊
Omg
Trump's...."egg prices have fallen 400%".... ....and "drug prices have fallen 1400%".... PROVE that the MAGA base are numerically illiterate

America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
Texas Paul has been ranting about this for months in Texas and other states. Look for him.

We are literally becoming a police and military state under this administration, when chalk at a memorial is treated like a crime, it’s not about “safety.” It’s about this administration having complete control on the American people.
I guess I need to head out to New Mexico!!!!
New Mexico leading the way! Who’s next? 👀
Pennsylvania's 988 operators will continue to serve LGBTQ+ youth, ensuring they are connected with the resources they need when they're in crisis. The hate and callousness directed at our LGBTQ+ community from the federal government will not be tolerated in Pennsylvania.
She deserves protection!
Thank you Commissioner Sean Duryee
Ignore the distractions! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.
Beautiful!!!!
Drumpf caused the deaths of multiple agents and nothing was done.

"I also face criminal contempt charges related to his bribery accusation. Paxton is now trying to shut down the voter registration and voting rights organization I founded. Our Texas-based assets have been frozen, and the AG has gone so far as to indicate that my personal assets could be frozen."
Cause they aren't ON the government servers, "Dog Balls" in DOGE moved them to HIS private server, so he can JERK OFF to the little girls getting RAPED every night in his Momma's BASEMENT!
Omg!!!!!!
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
“…we could have four Democrats in the House of Representatives all because the Republicans are going to help us do it.” This is our moment—our chance—to bring real change to South Carolina. Let’s rise up together and make it happen! www.pruitt4congress.com
Malignant narcissism, untreated, is the most lethal mental disorder in history.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump regime from swiftly deporting migrants detained in the US interior. This setback hinders the Republican plans to use the federal expedited removal statute to quickly remove some illegal migrants without a judge’s approval. #ProudBlue #DemVoirce1
“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.

Thank you @governor.ca.gov
He's damaging our health by installing RFK Jr., he's wrecking our security by purging the FBI & mis-directing the DOJ to his personal vendettas, he's hurting our economy w/ his insane tariffs. But a serious area of damage may have been to our vital personal date housed in gov't systems. #ProudBlue
In the latest Texas redistricting hearings in Texas, maps were revealed to show Native American Tribes were split into multiple districts carving up Indigenous communities and weakening their voting power!! Texas Republicans have gerrymandered maps to divide and dilute their voices! 🤬
Additional reminder that for a given land area needed to drive 1 mile in an ICE vehicle fueled by ethanol you can drive *_300_* miles in an EV powered by solar For more, check any of the great recent podcasts where @mikegrunwald.bsky.social has discussed his book "We Are Eating the Earth."

At what cost? Loss of tax dollars spent, loss of the work product these people provide. Insanity!!!!!!
A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.
Following the fascism playbook.
that totally exorcised all freedoms from the German press. It is alarming the parallels of what is happening here now in America and what Hitler did in Germany. 3/3

#DV1 #ProudBlue #Pinks 🧵Trump is now silencing the foreign press. Trump wants to curb the number of foreign journalists as well as reduce the duration of an I Visa, which allows foreign correspondents to cover U.S. news and current affairs, 1/3 www.thedailybeast.com/trump-reveal...
There is no question that there is something physically wrong with Trump. It pisses me off that he will get the very best of health care, while JD Vance & Republicans brag about ending Medicare for the rest of us. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
