Reminder: In LA National Guard troops slept on floors and stood around doing nothing. Troops were never patrolling in high crime areas and never helped arrest or investigate any drug, assault, or murder cases. #RepublicansAllHatNoHorse
Countless Americans protested peacefully across the country yesterday. Like we’ve done in the past, we spent a lot of time gathering images to prove there were “Workers Over Billionaires” events in all 50 states and DC. Especially since corporate media coverage was abysmal.
“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.
Support and vote for Graham Platner. He is running against this concerned senator.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
My eldest came of age in the era of school shootings & EVERY nightmare she ever has involves an active shooter. She overheard me talking about the harms of smartphones & schools banning them & said… “YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR PHONES IF YOU AREN’T TAKING THEIR GUNS” So, anyway, fuck the #GOP #ItsTheGuns
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
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.
School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
This is the way. Resistance, awake!
“Transparent”
📍𝐋𝐎𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒, 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐀: U.S. citizen Rodrigo Almendarez was detained outside of his workplace by unidentified federal agents. “I am dark skin, I am Mexican, I am brown… Like I said, I’m American.” #AbuseofPowerWatch
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
The rainbow crosswalk is back in the heart of the West Village!
George Retes is now suing the Trump administration after being detained by ICE for three days and three nights without explanation. “These are basic violations of George’s federal constitutional rights and his rights under California law," said Retes' lawyer. #AbuseofPowerWatch
The ruling party is giving it up for a white nationalist child rapist dictator because they can’t play in the sandbox with women and people with more melanin. That 21 point swing in Iowa is a good sign that America isn’t buying their bullshit. #GuardingOverPedophiles #RemoveTrump
Too much? 🤷🏼♂️
If only they could take out the real trash in DC.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
Not tired of winning!🥳
Masked immigration raids don’t protect us. They hide abuse and strip away our dignity. Stand with me in demanding transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition.
No one is saying this except Trump.
Sorry, fuckface. California consumers make the car rules because of our buying power and we won’t go along with this dipshittery. Nor will we allow lower fuel standards.
This would have been a perfect opportunity for Trump to go CAPS LOCKED to show Newsom hasn’t gelded him.
These guys should be home with their families.

J.B. Pritzker got it exactly right, Donald Trump is sending the military to blue cities because he wants to undermine free and fair elections in 2026. Trump believes that military deployments in blue cities is his path to keeping power and Republican victory.
Page One. @chicago.suntimes.com
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
We’re waiting, Jake.
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
A swing and a Mace in South Carolina.
"If Trump wants people to stop marveling at his degrading weakness when it comes to the Russian president, he’ll have to start avoiding embarrassing displays like these..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Over an hour of questions today. None about this.
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Whatever he has the symptoms are being fat and bad at golf

This doesn’t feel very free speech-y
Whoopsy
This nation has never been safer for white supremacists, pedophiles and white collar criminals.
The Maxwell interview is to the Epstein Files what the Barr Memo was to the Mueller investigation.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
He makes a good point!
The Trump administration has upended “any presumption of good faith by flinging weightless accusations of criminality at those who challenge it.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/o...
Gifted article demonstrating that normal was a door we lost the key to eight months ago. www.wsj.com/health/scien...
So Kilmar Abrego Garcia walks free from federal custody. Funny how the system manages to move quickly when it wants to, but grinds to a halt when it’s about justice. The bigger story will be when he turns around and sues the Feds for what they put him through.
BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama's state senate map violates the Voting Rights Act for unfairly limiting Black political power in Montgomery. This is an important victory for Black voters.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett warns that what’s happening in Texas isn’t just politics it’s an assault on democracy.
The oversight committee will receive the first wave of epstein files this morning, in case you were wondering why the FBI raided john bolton's house...
The Epstein files better be in John Bolton‘s home.
Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.
Looking forward to John Bolton’s next book “I wish I had said something sooner”. (Working title)
Seems relevant
DoJ has 30 days to get an indictment for sandwich guy from a federal grand jury. It's been 8 days.
It’s probably just a coincidence that Bolton’s home was raided on the day some of the Epstein files are due to finally be released to Congress. Is this that lawfare I keep hearing about?
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
Here is the truth: there is no secret plan to defend American democracy. There is no hidden set of tactics that those of us in the pro-democracy movement are waiting to unveil at the right moment. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...
Finally, some positivity and bright future outlook

An American President messing with free elections because the leader of Russia told him to, is what we call a Russian Agent.

The amusing thing about this clip is the infrastructure bill was literally the first and only thing Nancy Mace brought up in terms of her accomplishments in Congress. Her biggest win for her district was legislation she voted against.
ICE is targeting delivery drivers in DC, and MPD is helping them. 📌 ICE is not police 📌 DC law requires uniformed officers to show their badge and nameplate while on duty And Uber needs to do better by its drivers!

They’ve tried to erase us for centuries. Didn’t work then, won’t work now. Black history IS American history.

May his spirit haunt every ICE agent for time eternal.
Again just the facts. UKRAINE WAS INVADED. They DO NOT need to surrender anything to Russia for peace because they were FUCKING INVADED.
Dear Muricans, Trump is a Putin puppet.
