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

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.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Same for FL and no state close by
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
Portugal’s President Rebelo de Sousa: “The top leader of the world’s foremost superpower is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He operates as an asset.”
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
GOP attacks on transgenderism contribute to the stigmatization & marginalization of trans people. They make it difficult for transgender people to live their lives free from discrimination & violence. Make Injustice Visible. Be a proud ally!
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
WTF!!
A National Guard Member Running for Office Is Asking His Colleagues to Disobey Illegal Orders Captain Dylan Blaha is asking his colleagues to disobey Trump's illegal order, & he's running for office as a progressive Democrat to reform the Democratic Party. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

He can’t even look at his constituent! Coward
The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
You Can't Make This Up GOP Quotes Goebbels on the Floor!
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
One more time 👏👏👏
A mother cries out for her son who is in school while ICE arrests her outside of an immigration court after attending her hearing in San Antonio, Texas. Her only concern is for her child. This is happening all over America. This is not what safety or justice looks like.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
Biden authorized the funding for this bridge. In any case, the finer point here is that the president of the United States is THREATENING TO DEGRADE THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF MAJOR CITIES IF THEIR LEADERS OFFEND HIM. This is front page news!
“He said, ‘We’ll notify next of kin if she dies.’ And at that moment, I knew that I was no longer dealing with humans.” www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...
My first reaction seeing Lavrov on US TV is why are they platforming his propaganda? But actually it turned out to be pretty useful because Americans get to hear their real position - all the despicably & intransigence - while Trump & Vance are claiming they are being reasonable.
Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
We’re 7 months in, and “Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago” is a headline in the Washington Post. And because it’s city number three, we’re already numbing to it. If you read this about any other democracy in the world, you’d conclude that it was well on the road to a dictatorship.
Yeah, how about it, @thehill.com? 🤨
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
POS
Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.
@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and a liar. She cannot be trusted... Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer before he became deputy AG. His arranging of this deposition, his then moving her to a less secure facility, we're not going to be tricked by this."
SecDef Hegseth continues to fire senior generals and admirals. It appears that they have refused to swear the Führereid to Donald Trump.
He’s already done this and it was a failure www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...
both of these photos of Trump's hand were taken today (Getty)
Tonight at the Rhode Island Ave metro station in DC a volunteer shouted to warn ICE was present, per a tip. Agent screamed at her to leave: “These people are coming home from work. They don’t gotta hear your voice yelling at them.” But they need feds surveilling them? (Video shared w/ me)
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.
This is absolutely about racism. White women everywhere this is a call for you to stand up to white men now. We have been too silent for too long with too much fear. We are powerful. We have a voice. Time to use it.
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.
Fox 17 Nashville reports that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal detention in Tennessee and is on his way home to Maryland. “Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,” his attorney, @sean-hecker.bsky.social, said in a statement. fox17.com/news/local/k...

🚨 CALL TO ACTION 🚨 🧵 Texas Senator Eckhardts is preparing to filibuster. In Texas, you can only talk about the subject at hand. She needs material to speak about. Please write an email with your thoughts on redistricting to her. Say how it affects you, the vote in general and/or our very democracy!
In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
This is just slave catcher bullshit.
But they delayed the loss so these people are clueless!
Omg, JD Vance getting heckled by people yelling ‘COUCH F*CKER’ as he visits Union Station to survey Trump’s militarization of D.C.
Huge respect to a National Guard soldier who is putting his career on the line to defend the American Constitution: "Seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is."
Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here." (Mace is taking credit for legislation she voted against!)
Trump is attempting to appoint his own judges bypassing both the Senates and court by appointing interim judges. These judges have been serving for 120 days and then get voted out by real judges. He then has the DOJ appoint them for longer. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AOcfigPWWSBq...

This is your periodic reminder to "ask yourselves this question daily."

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.”

Come on - 25th now!
RED welfare states 3, 4, 5 & 7 and OHIO are sending National Guard troops.

Life comes at you fast
1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.
He deployed the national guard to evict the homeless but not the insurrectionists.
📽️ WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs. Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.
I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally
75% of the National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles said they will not re-enlist due to the deployment davisvanguard.org/2025/07/trum...
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
America has fallen.
Jeffries isn't the one. He proves it again. The Democratic leadership needs to go. The party has its lowest rating in modern history because of these cowards who bend the knee to corporate donors Mamdani is going to win & they're all gonna look weak. Also he lives in a rent stabilized apartment.
In other words: They lied.
Happening Now!! New York City: a large rally formed to demand a bill to redraw the state’s congressional maps — a direct response to the gerrymandering in Texas
Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
This!!!! And this is coming from on the kindest people on the planet!!! We love you Chef!!! #Pinks
NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response. She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.
"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
.@kfile.bsky.social: "One thing that we found really interesting was these flight logs from Epstein's private jet, which were part of that investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell. And they really tell you a story of how close these guys are." youtu.be/tR2HfyCmVKA?si=AjvK0vSe5tXS8yi0
For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.
Just like Covid
Don’t look up
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.
ICE arrested the father of one of the volunteers at the food bank our podcast network partners with. The volunteer has worked over 400 hours helping distribute food to those in need. The food bank is raising money to help his family. You can give here: www.gofundme.com/f/ice-arrest...
