In Twitter withdrawal. I support Democrats, though too many are spineless. Current Republicans are unprecedented threats to our country. I love music, animals, nature, but am mostly here for the politics. #Resist💙

The Trump regime despises workers!
Trump’s nullification of federal government contracts with unions is “by far the largest single action of union busting in American history.” Trump has undermined the NLRB, but some blue states see an opportunity to take charge. From Harold Meyerson: trib.al/fyajtEa
BREAKING: During Trump's second term, 72 civil servants with nearly 450 years of experience in government have publicly resigned in protest after being asked to do something they believed to be illegal or in violation of their oath of office.

"We should act like he's not joking... they're gonna try and manufacture some sort of a crisis." @keithellison.bsky.social, one of the only US politicians to predict a Trump win in 2015, agrees that Trump wants to stay in office beyond 2028, as a "dictator." Full intv: zeteo.com/p/keith-elli...
The Trump administration argues that the removal power extends to top career executives, endangering civil service tenure protections, writes @nicholasbednar.bsky.social and Peyton Barker, in their primer on the senior executive service. Read it here: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/a-pr...
The people who had oversight of the tab machines need to be vetted. Bannon pushed for MAGA to oust poll workers and replace them with MAGAs. Why? Who? What?
It's not radical, it's practical to first confirm which voting methods are truly "highly inaccurate" before calling for the removal of voting machines and mail-in voting. See our website to learn how to get involved. #TrustbutVerify #Technology #Management #Accountability
Reality demands proactive due diligence. Before making big changes, let's insist on due diligence and conduct hand count audits to investigate. We must audit backwards and correct for potential under-sampling of highly popular areas.
70% of those tabulation machines are supplied by just 2 privately owned companies. Almost every professional in the data security space will tell you, any given company or organization's risk of compromise is not a question of 'if', but 'when' and how to mitigate the impact of harm.
It's crucial to differentiate voting machines from tabulation machines when discussing improvements to election systems. In the 2024 U.S. General Election, nearly 100% of votes cast were counted using tabulation machines.
“President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have stated their intention to call National Guard troops into federal service in other cities across the country… thus creating a national police force with the President as its chief." floridaphoenix.com/2025/09/02/r...
Democratic attorneys general, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro filed their lawsuit in July and later called on the judge to block the Trump administration from moving money out of the pre-disaster mitigation account. floridaphoenix.com/2025/09/02/r...
The asymmetry between the parties is reflected perfectly in these bad-faith dust-ups over TV news editing. CBS edited Harris down for time; here, by contrast, edited out a bunch of defamatory nonsense from Noem. Fox edits down Trump to make him sound sane. Etc. newrepublic.com/article/1998...
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
“Weather forecasting has gotten bizarrely politicized because underneath the weather is the climate. Meteorologists I have talked to now feel that they could be attacked if they mention climate change and its connection to major weather.”

Most MAGA’s would only be swayed if they knew that breast cancer can affect men.
Science is real
Trump and his toadies despise workers, and stiff them whenever possible!
Great state to work in? ✔️ Oxfam America says Illinois is one of the best states to work in, and #5 for rights of workers to organize. See the stats www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/issu...
So, he's saying that he's moving Space Force command to a Deep South state with a horrible record of racial discrimination in voting during the Jim Crow era that is also the home to Shelby County of Shelby County v. Holder. Because Colorado promotes voting through mail-in voting.
With the majority of the Roberts Supremely Corrupt Court in his pocket, Trump may not be concerned.
The ultra-rich, assisted by the right wing lunatics, have fought for decades to reverse FDR’s New Deal!
Truth 💥

Absurd ruling🤡
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
Random thought: How many good, working people have died because their states refused to expand Medicaid😥?

To be clear: Trump’s tariffs + Trump’s trillions transfer amount to the biggest tax INCREASE on regular folks ever… yet @MarshaBlackburn calls it “the biggest tax CUT ever” — because for rich people it is, and they are all she cares about. She hopes we don’t understand this.

Folks. Please read this. It’s just one page of simple declarations from a 10 year kid from Guatemala who doesn’t want to be sent back there. The US government is trying to do so, on a holiday weekend, and was going to just *do it* until folks started pushing back. 10. Years. Old. WTAFF?
As do we all!
Excellent idea 👏👏👏👏

Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.
A month after Congress voted to strip public media of public money, PBS and NPR stations are working to cope — and survive.

Can he get by with lying about the deadline? He doesn't say Where the children were "deplaned" and only says they are "in the process of" returning". All sounds like shades of Garcia Those poor children. I'd like to see every single person involved in a forever prison for aggravated child abuse
Imagine how black your heart and soul have to be for you to treat children the way the DOJ has What monsters
Kidnapping children is a pretty sick distraction from the fact that the President of the United States Donald John Trump raped kids.
Trump/GOP simply legalizing his Epstein trafficking ring and profit from it.
There is a general shortage, but often an agenda.
Joshua's on the case
This Trump administration, has a war on children. It's quite sickening. Only the truly evil, prey and attack children.
Is this Ghislane’s day job?
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.

Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has called SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch). 1/

Lawyers for the children say they're still on planes in El Paso. SOOKNANAN: "I have the government attempting to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend. That's surprising." www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Congressional Republicans repeatedly cut funding for mental health programs. What is his solution? Tell the mentally ill to just exercise more?
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
I fear you are EXACTLY on point - returning us back to a fantastical gilded age. PRE- Jim Crow & Suffragette, and long before The New Deal. Gutting education, institutions and services, and now, rolling back science/vaccines that have saved millions of lives. The great culling, sinister eugenics.
This whole scenario feels like it's straight outta the government's Alien Enemies Act/J.G.G. playbook. In J.G.G., Boasberg entered TRO barring removal of named plaintiffs and set weekend emergency hearing on certification of class. But DHS started removing people just before/during hearing...
We can all see where this is going. So why are we all rolling over and playing dead?
As long as we’re talking about Cracker Barrel, we’re not talking about Epstein.
This an old video from 2012 but even back then Robin Williams had Trump’s number! He truly was ahead of his time and is very much missed! #USDemocracy #Pinks
Shameful. None of us our safe.
The real epidemic? Over 80% of school shooters are young men who steal guns from family members but they'll never talk about toxic masculinity, childhood mental wellness, childhood abuse, childhood bullies ,childhood PTSD or gun access because that doesn't serve their hate agenda.

This weekend, President Trump federalized 2,000 National Guard personnel to respond to protests against ICE in L.A. Here’s a thread of Lawfare’s recent analysis of domestic deployments of the military:
HAPPENING NOW: Emergency hearing before Judge Sparkle Sooknanan is underway. I'm live posting for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow updates in the thread quoted below 🧵⬇️
THANK YOU!
Aka “shithole country”
rage if ye will, christian nationalists, but real Jesus would definitely not recognize the U.S. as a 'christian nation'..
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
Mark Knoller, longtime political reporter for CBS News who was dubbed the unofficial White House statistician, has died at the age of 73.
🤔
We get outraged over children dying. They get outraged over Cracker Barrel changing the logo. We are not the same!
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
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…
SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧
ICE raided a DC high school football game. ICE RAIDED A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME.
Trump is ending the CDC’s drowning prevention program, arresting firefighters, deporting farm workers who do pest control, and reducing vaccine access. That’s flood, fire, pestilence & locusts. What other biblical plagues does he want? Rain of frogs? Rivers of blood? Angel of Death taking Don Jr?
Everything the fascists are doing today is what George Lakoff tried for years to warn about. They even call Trump "daddy"—a nod to the importance of the family metaphor in politics. So convinced are they of Democratic ineptitude that they proclaim exactly what they're doing as they are doing it

They’re totally going to do this.
Lots of it is just red meat performance for their base of clowns, but it is still amazing that large swaths of MAGA are so brain-damaged that they think @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is EMULATING Trump's online diarrhea rather than mocking it I fear there's no treatment to lessen MAGA brain fatality
