9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Epstein victims will be holding a press conference on Wednesday. This is one helluva way to create a distraction
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

Excellent question.
Take time this holiday weekend to refresh or learn how this infiltration and takeover happened. HIGHLY encourage all to listen to this podcast! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Convicted felon, Donald Trump, is on a crusade to hurt Americans because there isn’t any other reason to explain why he is making immigration checks of firefighters who are IN THE MIDST OF BATTLING WILDFIRES a priority. Trump makes America less safe everyday.
Checks off all their priorities: Waste, Fraud, Abuse
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
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.

Is it true that if a president is convicted of treason and impeached, that their entire cabinet has to step down? How does that work? @democracyprof.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social @malcolmnance.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @joycewhitevance.bsky.social
Your A block was excellent. I would like to see it run as an ad - everywhere - for the next couple months. Thank you.
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
New in The Wiretap: Sextortion takes another child's life. In this case, within an hour of making contact with the scammer on TikTok, the victim was dead. A life for $100 he couldn't afford. Unfathomable, unacceptable this is happening. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...
whatever you do, do not show your hands to the camera
Maybe these folks need to be reminded of their dear leader's involvement in organized labor, oops mafia podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

What is he REALLY building? Surely not a ballroom. Guessing it's more like a fortress of some sort
Stop talking about crime. This is an occupation. Call it an occupation. Trump is pursuing a tyrannical military occupation of the District of Columbia, using a fake emergency as an excuse.
Peeps💙Ice must be abolished asap ! Besides being kidnappers of innocent people, there’s criminal who are personating Ice agents raping women! This is all trumps fault 😡 I don’t want to hear 💩 anymore from a maga scumbag justifying Ice 😡 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue
Climate change is here. Charleston is underwater. Lindsey Graham doesn’t care because the fossil fuel industry helps him win elections.
I think they are propping and doping him up long enough to get to the military takeover of cities. MAGA will support HIM but not likely JD, doing this. Miller et al are ratcheting up the timeline....
Another medical term we are all going to be familiar with in the near future: anosognosia. At least, I predict someone in his camp will throw that out as an excuse once he IS removed, whether temporarily or permanently.
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
🔥 Breaking: Senator Carol Alvarado to Filibuster Against Republican Election-Rigging Maps Texas Democrats are using every tool available to stop Trump’s authoritarian power grab. We stand with Senator Alvarado. #FairMaps #StandWithCarol #txlege
🚨Exactly! Wondering if Schumer is going to roll over and play dead passing the continuing resolution to fund the budget or if someone could actually grow a fucking spine and shut this fascist government down. Then people could hit the streets until impeachment, conviction and removal
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Who is this child? Why is she shackled? Where are her parents or family? Where is this plane taking her?!
Here’s what appears to be a little girl shackled at the wrists and ankles boarding an ICE flight on Avelo Airlines yesterday. Seattle (Boeing Field) to Mesa, AZ, an ICE detention hub. Not one of those men helped her up the stairs. Courtesy @lalabote.bsky.social
the government is trying to disappear a man who can testify to torture committed at the direction and payment of the government
🧊😲✈️ CHILD IN CHAINS‼️ 👉 Thursday August 21, 2025 at Boeing Field in Seattle, we spotted this apparent girl in chains being directed up the steps of an Avelo Airlines 737 (tail: N805VL) on the live web cam feed from the airport 👀 (clip courtesy lalabote.bsky.social)

A key point we try to get at here: Media is covering Trump's militarization of cities AS IF IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT CRIME. But it isn't. It's about the CONSOLIDATION OF AUTHORITARIAN POWER. Yet many headlines and analyses are all about whether it's true that crime is as bad as Trump says it is.
Eddie Kim, reporting earlier today. I reported from an ICE action on Sansome and all I got was a face full of pepper spray - sf.gazetteer.co/i-reported-f...
Seven months into Trump II and state police are threatening an elected representative with a felony for communicating with the press.
Today, Texas House Democratic Leader Rep. Gene Wu will introduce an amendment to Republicans' congressional gerrymandering bill that would block the redistricting scheme until the complete release of the Epstein files.
Release the Epstein Files!
one extremely horrific aspect of slavery was systematic, vicious, constant rape and sexual abuse. there remain major taboos about talking about that, especially in schools or museums for all ages.
After my college students learn about this, they are horrified. I then run a thought experiment with them: Why are you just learning about the extent of sexual violence in slavery now? Why didn't you learn about it in high school? In middle school? 1/4
“With less they beat slavery. With less they beat Jim Crow… Harriet Tubman didn’t have email, Twitter, Texts, TikTok…”
Keep it up, Gavin! You’re under that orange skin of his.
It's Sunday so let's give a shout out to Trump & Republicans who are doing the Lord's work of kidnapping & disappearing human beings for entertainment, and covering up for a pedophile, just like Jesus teaches in the Bible. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
LFG! 💙🌊
The Lincoln Memorial. Think about that for a moment.
👉 Trump & Russia admitted collusion, once caught. Despite lying now. Proven in the Senate Counter-Intel Report 2020, which backed up Mueller's findings. More evidence since bsky.app/profile/chri...
DAILY MEMO: ICE Brutalizes and Sends High-Profile Female TikToker Who Documents Raids to Hospital @eltragon.bsky.social
ICE got their unmarked vehicle towed while two masked men pinned a woman face down on the ground. She later needed medical attention.
In other words: They lied.
Was that really Putin? If so, what was he on?
Trump hasn’t clapped like that since Jeffrey Epstein found him a ‘Vanky’.
Notice the extreme difference in width of Trump's carpet and Putin's. And Trump still could barely color inside the lines.
@bobcesca.bsky.social points out how unusually happy T is in that video with Epstein, watching young girls at a party. I think he looks almost as happy here, meeting up and touching VP. So gross
Did Sean ever follow up or challenge him on why they discussed this NOW of all times? F'in demented, narcissistic liar
It’s unbelievable we are being asked to believe this outrageous bullshit.
C'mon @governor.ca.gov we are ready for your imitation and putting this on blast!
47 needs the 25th.
Trump’s nominee to replace the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner he fired pictured at January 6th, amazing scoop by @ryanjreilly.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
The most important thing to note here is she has the ability to make executive decisions by being a T whisperer. That must be one helluva BJ
So ridiculous. (And so familiar)

Do they think they’re pirates? How long until they start the rape part of rape and pillage? Our military is charged with crimes if they do this to civilians abroad, so what about at home? www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...
Fifty-one years ago today.
The Commerce Department threatening to take over Harvard's patents shows the extent to which the federal government is trying to pressure the university into a settlement. They are trying everything possible. (gift link)
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
One of my mantras as a healthcare provider is also a good rule of thumb in life: We are not looking at moments, we are looking at patterns. Read the whole thread and look at the patterns
6. Americans warped perceptions of crime “warp public opinion in ways that set back policy changes shown to improve public safety.” We are spending billions of dollars constructing detention centers to house immigrants to combat a non-existent crime wave.
We have learned that one of the women taken on Alvarado and 8th is Sabrina Medina, a pregnant U.S. Citizen expecting twins from Huntington Park, whom Kristi Noem targeted and was present last month for a photo op.
When I say don’t mess with Texas women, I’m talking about State Rep. Jolanda Jones.
Looking forward to seeing what you put together!
Is he admitting he’s leading a cult?
Look at all those around him see it and then turn their heads away from it. Losers, all of them
Texas Democrats are showing what fighting looks like. Get ‘em.
Maybe she will drink herself into a coma, in celebration?
Or support and involvement. Gasp!
Wow. Sounds like he needs to retire and join the senior golf circuit. Go! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
BILL BURR: “There’s nothing wrong with being a billionaire, but if someone’s working 40 hours/week and can’t make rent you’re not paying them enough… maybe you should just be worth $900 Million. How do you take an 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”
I wonder if Bobby ever learned how to spell you’re.

Here’s hoping university administrators are as clear eyed about protecting academic freedom and faculty governance as the signatories of this excellent letter.
What The Actual Coverup?
A man at the store said he heard a local news story about, “a woman on Medicaid who bought a Lambo.” I invented a new kind of blank stare just for him. Just held it uncomfortably long until he felt the weight of his stupid meanness. Beta testing as we speak.
Dallas Dems have Jumped on Board too! They’ll help fight gerrymandering by bussing 🚌 Dallas Constituents to Austin on Friday. Reach out to @dallasdemocrats.bsky.social if you will go, especially to give testimonies, that’s we need representation! Bring some Ann Richards Energy with you!
Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.
Tell us you’re high ranking in the files without telling us. Also, why does any outlet with ANY integrity give him a live microphone?
Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy
Shameful. Dangerous. Outright evil
Horrendous. And probably closer to encouraging than letting
