Trump could’ve intercepted the boat, seized the drugs and imprisoned everyone Instead he approved this Venezuela strike and killed all persons aboard The extrajudicial killing of 11 men and potentially provoking a war with President Maduro is an odd way to campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize
The United States celebrates Labor Day in September, rather than on May 1, to distance itself from the more what they deem “radical, socialist associations” of May 1 (International Workers' Day) which commemorates the 1886 Haymarket Massacre.
Seems bad.
Just like United Healthcare. We need a tsunami of Luigi Mangiones.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Awful: Kristi Noem just accused CBS of editing out her comments about Abrego Garcia. But the "suppressed" comments were largely lies! This comes after CBS handed Trump $16 million over the same bogus "editing" claim. There's no placating authoritarians. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Trump says the media doesn't show Jan 6 for what it was he says "people in the crowd said it was the most beautiful day. There was love in the crowd. We know from the ppl who lost their lives and the survivors that isn't true! The national guard should have been called then! Not now!
Trump announced he assassinated a boat full of civilians in the Caribbean that he alleges were drug smugglers (no evidence provided and even so, not a proportionate strike if true). Marco Rubio also used his social media to boast of the war crime.
“Fake news” was created by Trump to discredit people or any organization when they present TRUTHS he doesn’t like.
I really hope you’ll take a moment and listen to Chris Hedges, author of America: The Farewell Tour. He gives an excellent breakdown of the difference between the Corporatists (Democrats) and the Oligarchs (Republicans). Our choice now that the oligarchs have won? Tyranny 👑 or revolution ✊🏼.
Wow, @governor.ca.gov pretty much sums it up, all in DJT style. 😙
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Platner: “Fake remorse doesn’t hide the sellout to lobbyists. Empty opposition won’t reopen hospitals. Weak words won’t restore Roe v. Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.”
No big whoop, just Donald Trump pissing away three decades of U.S. diplomacy due to a fit of personal pique. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/donald-tru...
Status quo bros really hate it when progressives find community.
RFK Jr. needs to go. Like, right now.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
Patriarchal, rape culture mentality. Completely ignoring power dynamics, child brain development, and trauma bonding with abusers. Probably doesn’t believe there should be an age requirement for consent. What a shitstain of a statement to make publicly. Wow.
Anyone else have tears suddenly pulled from their eyes watching Black Mirror’s, “Hotel Revere”? It’s been a while since I watched something that pulled deep feelings out of me, without warning. It was such a beautiful surprise. I needed to be reminded that beauty still exists in the world.
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
Medieval peasants would not advocate for letting diseases run through entire populations to make a “stronger species,” sorry this one is modernity’s baby.
“Texas Democrats lost. But they drew attention to Republicans’ efforts to put their thumb on the scale, and demonstrated a valuable tactic for galvanizing their beleaguered party. They lost, but they lost loudly. Losing loudly has been a crucial feature of successful political movements.” Gift:

NEW: Man who wants Nobel Peace Prize creates Department of War.
Last January, a source shared evidence with me that DOGE was installing devices on govt servers to upload data to the cloud. Some hosts were FOREIGN. On Friday, a whistleblower resigned and came forward to share the same. Listen to what we found in January: www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...
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
During a phone call, Donald Trump hinted to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he should nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, as Pakistan had done. Modi sharply rejected the idea, stating that the ceasefire with Islamabad was achieved without U.S. involvement.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Wait! I thought Trump was supposed to be “ending homelessness.” HUD just announced a nationwide audit of Section 8 “citizen status.” Mixed-status families could lose rental assistance, even when kids are U.S. citizens. Families including children could be thrown into eviction & face homelessness.
This is why Trump’s Big Ugly Bill increased ICE’s budget by $170.7 billion More than the military spending of most countries, and more than the US appropriated for the FBI, DEA, ATF and Marshals-combined Trump is amassing an army to employ against Americans in blue states And Illinois is up first
It’s likely CA GOP is responsible for mailers sent to Californians falsely claiming League of Women Voters opposes Prop 50, re redistricting. LWV’s statement below, they are taking a neutral position. Please spread the word. Stop the GOP disinformation. Vote for Prop 50 #Prop50 lwvc.org/prop50/
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
These are my patients. Kids dying of brain cancer. Kids and families desperate for treatment and hoping to find a cure through experimental therapies. Trump is dismantling science and children with brain tumor are the victims. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
“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.
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
The U.S. is one of the world's biggest human rights violators under Trump. Well done, maga.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
👇🏽🎯
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
Most people don’t know a Democratic lawmaker and her husband were assassinated this year either.
ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…” 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...
The Trump regime has pulled the US out of the UN Human Rights Universal Process Review. This is chilling. This review happens every 4-5 years for each country in the UN. No country has ever pulled out of the review. Until now. I remember the last time the US had its UPR... 🧵
Because we are among the world's biggest human rights violators now. And allied with not one but two ajudicated war criminals. Well done, maga. You ended the empire.
This is the essence of due process And how insidious Trump’s efforts are to ignore the Constitution “the Government makes a truly startling argument: that those who entered the country illegally are entitled to no due process..Were that right not only noncitizens, but everyone would be at risk”
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
"Trump’s age, his visible health problems, and the White House’s cagey answers raise real questions about transparency and capacity. Yet the institutions that pride themselves on holding power to account have largely looked away," @passantino.bsky.social writes. www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
Oh
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
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.

I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
Nothing you have ever called "Orwellian" in your life was more Orwellian than this shit.
"Upgrade?" The Felon Administration is putting pressure on the Holocaust Museum to 'upgrade' the US response to Nazi Germany during WW2. They will whitewash the awful part of history when America turned away fleeing Jews. Many had to return, resulting in death.😢✡️ abcnews.go.com/US/upcoming-...
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
My new motto: “Joy? I grab that motherfucker whenever it comes up”. Love it!
How stupid is this?
Read every word of this "And if an 81-year-old woman can beat Donald Trump? Twice? Anybody can. In the larger picture. I think money is the answer. When the [powers that be] get hit in the pocket book by Trump, that’s going to be it. That moment hasn’t come yet." variety.com/2025/film/ne...
“Joy? I grab that motherfucker whenever it comes up.”
For those who have studied tRump’s long and troubling history of racism, the two events were more than mere coincidence. They were indicative of a man who has recently brought white nationalist perspectives from the margins back to the mainstream. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
trump is a Pedophile 💥
@bisbee4148.bsky.social I think you expressed almost this exact sentiment, the other day on our rage hike. Haha. Jinx. We’re with you. 🙌🏼
I’m so sorry. I lost all my immediate family members to the MAGA cult too.
It’s a psychological profile for domestic abusers, statically speaking.
This is excellent. Thank you.

I was half joking- but at this point, I guess nothing’s off the table.
To make money off them. They want slaves again, and green is the only color that interests them this time.
Unbelievably bad. “The CDC you knew is over. Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
It’s also what happens in a society where the social trust has been completely eroded. People have been told that facts don’t exist, and truth is always subject to narrative. Education is openly undermined and attacked. It honestly reminds me of people who consult horoscopes and psychics for help.
So, you’re saying it was premeditated.
“Sure, these deaths are tragic, but they’re a small price to pay for the ability to drain a lake by asking your computer to show you a picture of your dog with big boobs”
Only if you pay $9,999.99 a month for the platinum, deluxe, updated version- otherwise, no.
Okay, so not enslavement or total genocide- just other fun ways the Robots can do away with humanity. At this point, Handmaids Tale and Black Mirror are just glimpses into the future of humanity.
So, Trudeau visits and gives Newsom a gold plated, model airplane. Come on and troll along with your Californian allies, Canada!🍁 (You know you want to.)
But Trump is cancelling use of wind power -- because you know, the wind causes cancer. 🤔
At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.
GOP Rep. Moore tucked tail and ran during a brutal town hall booing
Too bad we sold our country to BP Oil, and the auto industry. This is why we can’t have nice things.
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
“You cannot pretend as if he did not try and stay in power the last time he lost an election. That actually happened.” Abby Phillip & @mizzwelch.bsky.social refuse to let the Republicans on the panel pretend Trump is not a threat to our democracy. 🇺🇸
