One main job of the National Guard is to provide emergency assistance in a disaster Now-on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina-troops from Louisiana and Mississippi were sent to DC To rake leaves And if the goal is to “fight crime” The murder rates in Jackson and New Orleans FAR exceed DC
And employment with ICE.
Anti-ICE protester in Los Angeles found dead in her jail cell and literally there is no mainstream reporting on this. The only reason her name was publicized was b/c @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social put it out there. Justice for Adrienne Villa!
Dear TX GOP You are HATED🔥 #TakeBackTX #OV1 #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited
Immigrants aren’t stealing your jobs. But employers are stealing $50 billion in wages from workers each year.
“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
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
An American President messing with free elections because the leader of Russia told him to, is what we call a Russian Agent.
I for one am concerned.
NEW VIDEO: President Donald Trump announced he will issue a new executive order to get rid of mail-in voting and to control the counting of ballots in 2026. This is not a political stunt. It is an existential threat to democracy. I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6K4...
I have and always will stay out passed my bedtime to fight fascism. Always.
🎶 $787.5 million dollars How do you measure, measure the lies? 🎶
Unreal that the guy who committed intentional, knowing fraud to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in loans will now try to use trivial accidental misrepresentations on home mortgage applications to seize control of the Federal Reserve, and that the media will not even mention what's happening.
Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

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 just said no other countries have mail-in ballots and just about every other country in the world has mail-in ballots.
Why do news stations not fact check him live?
JUST IN: The right-wing news channel Newsmax has agreed to pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems over its coverage of the 2020 presidential election. A trial had been scheduled for October. n.pr/3UuKeyZ
Brian Glenn continues to make inappropriate remarks and ask stupid questions. It’s what happens when competent journalists are banned and nepotism/favoritism rules the roost. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
May the shooter fry!!
He’s a Confederate Soviet Stan who loves dictators and hires Nazi history buffs and was best friends with the world’s most notorious pedophile for decades and he ran teen beauty pageants for years and his only focus is stealing money and he hates you and thinks his own supporters are morons too.
Doesn’t it skew your thoughts of humanity when you find out somebody you respect is a Fox loving Trump humper?
Isn’t this grounds for impeachment?
Their heads would explode.
I want every blue state to do what Gavin Newsom is doing. Give the GOP no quarter. 
Yes - we need to match their energy.
The party of small government is now the party of big brother.
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
International embarrassment.
House Judiciary Dems are demanding answers from Pam Bondi and the Bureau of Prisons over the 'unusual and abrupt' prison transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell. "These actions raise substantial concerns that the Administration may now be attempting to tamper with a crucial witness." tinyurl.com/j52mmx28
This bitch....
This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
This Sunday, we’re hosting a back to school drive in Evanston with 500 free backpacks, all-day free haircuts, and free food by two of the best restaurants in Evanston! Drop by the Fleetwood-Jourdain Center this Sunday afternoon to start the school year with everything you need!
Leningrad has not existed since 1991
We need more democrats pushing out this kind of energy. Make it loud AF.
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.
Did you know Missourians passed an anti-gerrymandering constitutional amendment in 2018? Did you know that the Missouri GOP put it back on the ballot with deceptive language in 2020 and voters overturned the amendment? Voters were duped. Hoodwinked. Republicans can’t win so they lie and cheat.
Wonder how Luigi is Doing.......
Fox News hosts are furious that Big Balls and Holly got beat up and people just filmed it instead of intervening. “Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?” These same people are perfectly fine with ICE kidnappings.
Let them drink milk.
Jennings: Having someone like Dean Cain out touting it—It's going to help them recruit. Lathan: It’s not 1995. No cares what Dean Cain thinks.
Note to Kristi Noem: It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.
Interesting ay?
Hopefully they stick to the Constitution and not be a lackey for Abbott.
They Are Running Out Of Sick Minded Recruits…. Now they’ll take on anyone! SMDH🤨🤨
The party that wants to do nothing on gun violence, climate change and income inequality promises to do something about these damned paper straws
In recent years, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland—the top three happiest countries—have all been led by women
The governor ordered state troopers to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans. Rafael Cruz is reportedly on the run. 👇
Expecting Democrats to remain neutral and be the voice of democratic balance while Republicans are openly bragging about blowing up congressional maps with shameless gerrymandering is pretty damn absurd. If the GOP wants this fight, we should be ruthless in finishing it.
It's not paranoia. It's really not safe. Do not use anything electronic to track your period. Start carving lines on a bone you've inscribed with a glyph of the moon. Paper notebook. Tie knots in some yarn. These sysytems and people cannot be trusted.
If the Founders wanted the United States to be a Christian nation, they would have said so. They didn’t. #KeepChurchAndStateSeparate #KeepReligionOutOfPublicSchools dianeravitch.net/2025/08/05/t...

They hoard wealth in a burning world, as if money will matter when the air turns to ash.

Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:
Is Trump using government or donor money for his own benefit?” The answer is - Yes—in ways that raise serious ethical concerns and would likely be unacceptable for anyone else.
Republicans literally suck the joy out of life.
We will not be able to trust another jobs report going forward.
This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back. If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism. apnews.com/article/ap-p...
I covered the Obama WH. Tapper, Chuck Todd and lots of other big names were in the briefing room then. I can assure you they would have been on it nonstop had Obama launched a program for kids alongside a registered sex offender. So why don’t they give a shit now?
Businesses have the right to refuse service to while we they wish.
Don’t forget gazillion.
After ousting the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the news was always to Dear Leader’s liking.
Where are the guardians of our democracy? As Harris said they “capitulated.” They bent the knee to a man who would not have the power to destroy our democracy without them. They will be remembered in history for this destruction more than anything else.
NEWS: The U.S. added just 73,000 jobs in July—far below expectations—while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. May and June payrolls were revised down by a collective 258K, painting a trouble picture for the economy.
Trump is turning 1600 Pennsylvania into a Trump hotel, isn’t he?
“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell
Once we know the story they won’t be able to toy with our emotions anymore.
Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison
Justice Boasberg subjected to DOJ ethics complaint due to this comment: He said he was concerned “that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis.” But isn’t that what Bove told DOJ to do? apple.news/AQZvLOzs2T6q...
Agreed. Not the first time I’ve protested and it won’t be the last.
It is concerning and there are things you can do. So do them. The only way we have out of this mess is through the courts. If they don’t hold up the rule of law we are all screwed.
There’s your new ad, Dems.
Why is it so hard for so many people to condemn pedophilia and/or genocide?
Migrants sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison faced beatings, shaved heads, no drinkable water, no hygiene, and daily abuse - including sexual assault in “blind spots" not covered by cameras. No charges. No due process. No trials. No justice. Tell these stories! US media won't!
How does he know this?
It’s always the people you’d most expect
📌 ICE is Gestapo. If you don’t see these masked thugs as the enemy, then you too - are my enemy. RISE UP, my fellow Americans! ✊🏼
The U.S. is such a shit bag on fire.
$4 trillion.
The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.
Imagine I’d said Satan was a “really terrific guy,” backed it up with photos of us together in the 90s, and then blamed Obama
This is unusual. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir, $PLTR, April 8. $PLTR since obtained numerous governmental contracts, including one with ICE on April 17th. She is on the Committee of Homeland Security. And she just disclosed: she bought more $PLTR stock.
