2 weeks after being violently attacked & arrested. "Good job, Mayor Bowser. You're a Fascist, too.”
I wonder if there are others from this motorcade. He just looks miserable and sad.
This is my son who has been suffering from severe malnutrition for three months and has digestive and immune system problems. Even when milk and food entered Gaza a week ago, he does not accept anything and is living on IVs. Help me evacuate and treat him. gofund.me/015c8fe1
What if the ills of capitalism are actually just capitalism?
These people are unrepentant racists but also too cowardly to use the slur they so desperately want to.
Still think "Trump, but he's a Democrat" is going to save us? This what you want brought to your home town? The most vulnerable people amongst us, targeted for assault and criminalization, having their documents, medications, and wheelchairs stolen and destroyed? That's what this is.
it’s incredibly hard to do anything under threat of genocide and the way trans people are making art, making and strengthening mutual aid networks, lifting each other up and making sure cis people can’t ignore the persecution give me so much hope. we’re an incredibly resilient community
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that he would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to prevent them from attending the annual UN General Assembly in New York next month.
Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
There's a lot of reasons, but probably the simplest is that everything is a *product* in the US, something to be marketed. Products need gimmicks to stand out.
Quick reminder: relative to cis men, trans people commit about one-fifth as many mass shootings per capita www.al.com/politics/202...
Man. It's because you're a billionaire. It's not the fault of the site. Sure you give back in a bunch of ways, especially compared to other billionaires, but no one *likes* the rich. This isn't new, theres bible verses about this shit. Just make an anonymous account so you're not flooded with shit.
It would be nice if Democratic leadership in Congress would stop pussy-footing around, wringing their hands about these things being “distractions” from “kitchen table issues” and stood up for our constitution and rule of law more aggressively. Fire your consultants!
🧵: I'm not posting this to dunk, but because I'm seeing it often enough it looks like a coordinated campaign, and I want to give folks a heads up on some of this, if they're not familiar the dynamics. It's about the broader pattern, but comes back to the idea of dividing the Democratic Party. 1/x
Even this framing from PSA sounds deranged, there is no worthy “debate” over trans rights. Trans people deserve full rights and equal protections and freedom under the law full stop. There is no reasonable other “side” on this issue.
ALIENS cost less than 20 million to make, which adjusted for inflation is still less than 60 million. It still looks incredible. In a hundred years nobody will know what AVATAR is.
These children are exhausted. You can see it on their faces. Help them.
let gaza live

the people who made this thing should be treated like dealers who mix fent into drugs.
Anyone else notice a pattern in the government officials Trump is firing?
worth demanding answers why press and gov mostly stayed silent about the radicalization terror child extortion gang which is rumored to be involved w/ this event, and over 14 similar in 2025 alone, and it's been known for years apparently. all the while accusing trans people of being 'groomers'
I remember when the Columbine massacre happened and very serious media and political figures deliberately hid the fact that the shooters were neo-Nazis and claimed that they did it because they were bullied (they weren’t) and that they wore black clothes. Just thought I’d mention that
CIA black sites and illegal surveillance are not ancient history. The FBI does really shitty frame ups of Muslims all to frequently. The FBI in Denver paid a felon to try to frame racial justice and housing advocates during the George Floyd protests.
You think it's expensive to get UberEats? Think of how fast the rate ticks up for an arrest with this many people involved, and all their equipment on top. Every roving mob like this could be spent paying for an unhouses persons living for months on end.
When my eldest son was 4, I took him for a little overnight camping trip in Northumberland. I remember lying in the tent with him listening to Manchester United losing in the League Cup to MK Dons and thinking it couldn't get worse for them. That son is now 15. Still not tired of this.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
I think the thing I despise the most about Newsom boosters is that they won't just flat out say they agree with his anti-trans views (which they obviously do). Instead, they frame them as positions Dems need to take to appeal to some vague hypothetical voter.
Why do we continue to do this to little kids
Every time I see something like this, I am filled anew with rage at all the things we do in the name of safety for kids that don't actually make them safer, while ignoring all the obvious ways we could easily make them safer
These people are fucking ghouls and need to be driven from public life.
If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.
The only prayer that matters when it comes to the regular and repeated murder of American children while they are at school is the kind of prayer that is taking action, the kind of prayer that materially fights for the living, the kind of prayer that says "never again" and means it, from MN to Gaza.
I hate doing the Skeets about the school shootings, but I feel like we all have an obligation not to ignore school shootings.
Somehow the DNC is still conflicted on whether or not they should back an arms embargo to Israel. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
1. Michigan's AG Dana Nessel has issued a threat to University of Michigan Health's capitulation to Trump after it banned trans care for youth. She calls their decision likely in violation of state nondiscrimination law, considers action against the hosptial. Subscribe to support our journalism.
Is nobody at Number 10 aware that not all illegal immigrants to the UK are black...? Because this is really quite unfortunate.
Please I am begging everyone to stop saying that Pritzker hasn't thrown trans people under the bus when he refuses to enforce his state's own anti-discrimination laws to force hospitals in Illinois that have stopped providing gender affirming care to minors to do it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Yes
I just do not understand the general reaction to Trump by Democrats. Pritzker throws one punch and he's clearly freaked out. Standing up to bullies has been a thing for thousands of years for a reason. It works. And yet! Democrats remain in a defensive crouch.
The end of the republic?
Nixon eat your heart out
What he's saying here is that journalists are next.
"Donald Trump is rounding up Democrats and executing them on the East Lawn. But this is just a distraction from egg prices. Don't be fooled." - Hakeem Jeffries, soon
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else
if you are a fan of Teen Vogue's coverage and particularly that we're willing to cover topics that are ignored or undermined—or even risky, because of censorship and scrutiny—in broader US media, sharing our coverage (and clicking the links) is a really key way to support us and our work
Nah, its just them killing innocents on purpose again. Whether or not the specific person that pressed the button knew that's what they were doing or not isn't relevant.
And here we have DC MPD yukking it up with the occupying forces at a “traffic stop” outside Union Station where I just saw some classic racial profiling
None of his actions are really distractions. They are all calculated steps designed by either him or his cronies to walk the Union as we know it down the plank.

People keep telling me to wait for the next election & I genuinely think this reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what’s happening. What we are experiencing is fascist state capture by a fascist political party, one destroying institutions, civil liberties, & the rule of law.
Relatedly a great catch by @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social which really underscores the point made by me and @vermontgmg.bsky.social, which is that this is about occupation *of* and not assistance *to* urban areas no matter what their populations want: bsky.app/profile/nich...
Trump's executive order telling DoD to create a military occupation force to be used on US soil against Americans includes direct instructions to give vigilantes opportunities to join the operations in support of the goals. Who could've seen this coming? Me! And warned about it before the election.
6 months ago, in the shadow of the night, Israeli soldiers took 16-year-old American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim from his family. He’s been imprisoned ever since. He’s suffered from scabies & lost 25 pounds. Remember Sayfollah Musallet, the young American killed by settlers last month? They’re cousins.
I mean, over half the government, at the highest levels, would fight back. It would effectively mean the end of the Union. It needs to happen tho, we're in a death spiral that historically tends to last decades at least.
TOMORROW is the last day to vote in Iowa. Spread the word!
🧵This was the ruling of the US Supreme Court shortly after the Civil War in Ex parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (1866) which yet stands to this day. One of the most important legal reminders for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & Trump's denial of justice to everyone like him.
Fascism hates art.
Frankly, it seems unclear that all of us will live through this. Eventually Stephen Miller will start using these armed soldiers the way he clearly wants to. Everyone is so afraid of challenging the pathetic "crimefighting" pretext that they're letting him build a force to crush democracy.

The truth isn't "more complicated". It is not even remotely true.
I'd honestly argue at this point that trying to avoid the coming civil war would do more harm than good.
Journalists everywhere need to stand in solidarity on this killing spree and resulting news blackout. See below in this thread for some actions and stay tuned here https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-hits-gaza-hospital-killing-least-20-people-including-five-journalists-2025-08-25/

I would be extremely happy with Walz 2028 and I think people are underrating his chances. Having been on the ticket before is a big deal!
"We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so we dilute the freedom that this cherished emblem represents." ---Texas v. Johnson SCOTUS has already ruled more than once that burning the flag is protected under First Amendment. An EO cannot overturn the Supreme Court
There's a piece to be written about how one year before the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved people in the region that would become the United States, Africa is being treated as a dumping ground for people of color the white supremacists don't want anymore
iS tHiS sEmi-FaSCiSm? Remember that National Conversation™️? Congrats again, everyone. Well done.
One crucial front in the war against fascism will be the right to photograph police. The cops have always hated that right and they and their various lickspittles will push back at it at every turn.
The only reason for National Guard soldiers to be armed is to shoot Americans on American streets
The difficulty she has in explaining Einstein to her dog is that she doesn't understand anything Einstein did.
Personally I think that Newsom is a slimy amoral sychophant who will sell you and your entire family out the moment it becomes politically expedient. But hey, what do I know.
Fuck, we actually have the technology to clone a sperm from a stem cell form a from a female donor. We're only lacking the method.
To be fair to Hank, every time he makes a profit on something he uses the cash to start another business where all the profits go to charity.
He could refilm to humping landmarks video with Missoula only locations.
“This is what’s going on in DC everyday ICE, DEA, ATF, FBI, National Guard and the Army are out. Setting up road blocks on the highway and jumping out in the neighborhoods locking you up.” DC jump outs are stop and frisk on steroids going on ten years now. ⬇️ Video Link: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BPbkEP/
Kamala Harris warned you and they called her a liar.
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!
They need to be drafting a new set of laws and action plans to establish a new federal government with functional agencies.
You don't think that maybe there's a difference between having your money taxed by the government and for the people, and having your money burgled by a mobster wielding the law as a bludgeon to enrich himself specifically?
reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.
I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
Thank you, I will, as I have voted in every election since I turned 18. In the meantime, stop telling me I have to support the guy who hasn’t even declared three years before the ballots are cast.
Us not cheering Newsom isn't indicative of not showing up. We're all out there doing the work I assure you. What we aren't doing is championing a bad candidate 3 years before we need to settle for someone. You don't need to cheer on Newsom right now. Fight ICE and bigotry and find someone better.
ROBINSON: “Trump loathes cities, his rants are often indistinguishable from Travis Bickle’s unhinged monologues in Taxi Driver… his actions aren’t about crime, it’s an escalation of his war against 🇺🇸 cities — And racism is at the core of it.” www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-raci...
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
Newsom is also not great on the environment! One struggles to identify issues on which he IS reliably, consistently progressive.
why does this website only care about takes like these and not the copious videos of black people being needlessly detained and arrested
The future of the Democratic Party looks much more like this then Newsom or the corporat centrist bigots
Over the past 24 hours in Gaza, Israel has killed 16 more aid-seekers, hospitals have recorded eight deaths from starvation—including two children—and IDF attacks have killed 61 additional people.
Chronic Nazi aesthetic.
None of it is a distraction. They're doing what they want because they know the Dems will insist its a distraction from their futile efforts and bipartisanship. That anything they do is a distraction from anything else is purely down to Dems being unable to focus on anything at all.
how many trans kids, queer kids, abused kids won’t have the know how or resources to find a workaround? every proposed “won’t someone please think of the children online” age verification bills is carte blanche for tyrannical governments & abusive parents to isolate whoever they deem undesirable.
Yep. Trump finally did what he always dreamed of doing. His final step to self-actualization is ordering that John Bolton be defenestrated.
They may as well be telling us that Judas is innocent and the Prince of Lies is overly demonized.
Sarah, I respect what you do on the Bulwark for the most part, but are you really gonna respond to concerns over people policing their own language with... policing their language?
