again i will say this today, the greatest threat to democracy, individual freedoms, and most citizens personal safety is not islam, socialism or wokeism, or someone's sex or sexuality. The greatest threat today is "christian" nationalism.
Once a happy retired mother of two & grandmother of six, but now heartsick at the prospect of four more years under the dictates of the talibangelicals' cult hero.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "I was elected as the Labor Secretary for all Americans" (She was not elected)
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Exactly
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
BREAKING: Trump’s use of the National Guard during immigration protests in Los Angeles is illegal, a judge rules. Follow AP's live updates.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Can you imagine having your country and people destroyed ad killed by an invading army, and you have to listen to this guy prattle on about how great he is and lying and bull sh@ting how he doesn't want to be a dictator?
Amen Gavin, Amen.
I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…
Thank you on this labor day!!
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
It’s always so weird to see weird dudes like Peter Thiel opine excessively about the “antichrist” - whose only mentions are in 1 & 2 John, written ≈ 100 AD. Jesus never mentioned it. It’s so important it wasn’t mentioned once in my entire time in Divinity School - a Baptist one at that. Weirdos.
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Republican evangelicals need a fucking straitjacket. They’re literally terrified of rainbows and want to thump people’s skulls over it. Are they also mad at the almighty for creating rainbows? 🙄
How would that be "owning the libs"? Don't you mean "owning MAGA"? Sorry, I didn't recognize at first that you have a satiric account.
I wasn’t super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this
Look, I just want a president who isn't at war with everyone and everything, everyday - but if he wants war, I expect the people who represent me in government to make it their business to fight it, vigorously, competently and unceasingly. Those are my thoughts on politics today in a nutshell.
GOP Rep. warns Muslims want to impose “Sharia law” at very time he’s imposing “Christian law.” "Sharia law is coming!” screamed GOP Rep. Josh Brecheen at his town hall in Oklahoma. In reality Brecheen and GOP ones imposing their religion as law! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/gop-rep-wa...
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
Has anyone said whether Rudy was driving or whether he had been drinking? www.cbsnews.com/news/rudy-gi...
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
I mean this country has killed enough Kennedys, I guess it’s only fair one of them tries to return the favor
I wonder what makes this one special? 🤔
BREAKING: Rudy Giuliani hospitalized with a broken back after serious car crash in New Hampshire. Lets pray for him, right?
Federal agents in DC have been starting dangerous car cases for small stuff like tinted windows. The chases violate DC police policy. Out of 10 cases, six ended in a crash. One car had a minor in back. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Profiting off a public office used to be called corruption.. Now it’s admired by their constituents ( #trumpiscorrupt ).
DEMS: It’s time for other Democrat Governors to follow Gavin Newsom’s lead. No more following tradition, no more whining about fairness. We have to fight fire with fire and beat them at their own game. Time is running out.
Is Iowa a bellweather? Too early to tell, but the news is good! MAGA Senator Joni Ernst likely has some sooper dooper secret internal polling that scared the snot outta her. Tillis, Tuberville, McConnell also are OUT!
Joni Ernst will not seek reelection I assume to get a head start over other republicans before all the planes to non-extradition South American countries fill up.
A federal circuit court just ruled Trump’s tariffs ILLEGAL under IEEPA. The people are pushing back too. Days after Democrats flipped a red state senate seat in Iowa, Joni Ernst decided to retire in ’26 to avoid humiliation. If ’26 is free and fair, MAGA won’t just lose—it’ll be buried.
38% approval. Joni Ernst knew she was going to get her ass kicked. www.publicpolicypolling.com/polls/joni-e...
Joni Ernst is out & not running for reelection! This is Amazing Good News! Hey Iowa! Listen Up. Donate, Support, & VOTE for Zach Wahls for the U.S. Senate. Do whatever you need to do. Josh cares about Iowa & America. He will be a Good Senator for Iowa & America. Let get this done & bring it home.
📌Something called "good news" -Conservative Wisconsin SC Justice Rebecca Bradley won't seek reelection, citing "conservative failures" -Iowa Sen. (R) Joni Ernst surrenders -Democrat Catelin Drey smashes Republican supermajority in Iowa, winning big in Trump district Keep hittin' back. He did.
🌊💙 Iowa is shifting, and the GOP is slipping. With Joni Ernst stepping aside, the Blue Wave has never been closer. Let’s keep organizing, keep fighting, and make sure we turn this moment into lasting change. Stronger Together! 💪🗳️ #BlueCrew #BlueWave #StrongerTogether #VoteBlue
Joni Ernst has had a political career very few american woman could ever achieve not only did she overcome an almost fatal case of grinch heart but she also won the prestigious Stewey Griffin Vile Women in Legislature Cup 4 separate times over her career just wow
Senator Joni Ernst and Cracker Barrel trending sums up life in the USA now.
New in PN: Making Slavery Great Again "Without irony or shame — and to absolve their followers of any guilt or responsibility — Trump wants to whitewash America’s original sin."
A main reason the gop tries to paint “deregulation” as some virtuous liberation of capitalism from the stranglehold of unnecessary rules, when it’s actually the destruction of consumer protections and safeguards that corporations don’t want to be held responsible for, or spend money on.
When people ask why we Irish stand with Palestine , this is famine plot in Skibbereen, Co. Cork where it is believed thousands upon thousands of starved bodies were tossed into a pit. There was no shortage of food , but it wasn’t given to the poor. It was our genocide .

It's no surprise Joni Ernst dropped out of the race. Just this week, a poll showed our campaign in a position to defeat her. Make no mistake – we're building the organizing operation to defeat whoever Republicans nominate instead.
📌"We are all going to die." The only thing the grotesque Joni Ernst will be remembered for ...
Can this Democrat flip a key U.S. Senate seat now that Joni Ernst announced her retirement? www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...
Breaking news: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from rapidly deporting undocumented immigrants detained away from the border without a court hearing, a setback for its mass deportation agenda.
Gavin Newsom: Wake the hell up 🇺🇸!!
Exhausted. Emotional. Devastated by yet another school shooting. We are in the fight of our kids’ lives.

“As Dr. King once said, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ Humbly, I would add, it doesn't bend on its own. History tells us we often have to apply force needed to make sure that the arc gets where it needs to go. This is one of those times.” -Gov. JB Pritzker
Wtf is going on in Louisiana forcing a 9 year old child to carry her rapists baby to term. Drs have warned if this 9 yr old is forced to birth she will need a c section and her life will be at risk. If your pro life how can you not think of the 9yr old rape survivor and his traumatic it will be?
The depth of the constant urge of Trump, Noem and Miller and their photoshop gang to punish and torture no matter the family and the facts.
Trunk attacking solar for his big oil donors is about to cost us all
The NRA has always told us people needed their guns to stand up to a tyrannical government. Now we have one they have aligned themselves with the tyrannical government. I guess it was never about that. 🙄
If a Democratic president starting sending Blue state national guard troops to occupy a red city as a power grab, the GOP officials in that state would arrest the invading guard troops to send a message that they are defending their sovereignty.
I think it's more the case that we can understand the difference between a terrorist and a civilian. Especially the ten thousand civilian children whose lives have been ended simply because they were Palestinian children. Flying the 🇵🇸 is shorthand for 'human rights belong to everyone.' Same with 🏳⚧🏳🌈
We are under attack from a foreign power with agents in the highest levels of our government. They fired the head SpecOps Command 😮 www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/08/in-t...
Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge. *Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump. *When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/politic...
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in 🇺🇸 : “There is not safety in keeping your head down… People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.”
She has her orders from Pootin!
Yes, russia is your enemy. They really are everyone's enemy, including their own worst enemy. A true nation of evil tards.
Judge Williams halted new detainees and ordered Alligator Alcatraz to close within 60 days, grounding her ruling in federal environmental laws & tribal sovereignty. By proving “irreparable harm” to the Everglades, she applied well-settled legal standards, making the injunction likely to stand.
This quite a “now that you mention it, we saw some bribes too a while back” follow up story from the times
These people are beyond parody.
These people are very sensitive and also not very smart and also ruining the country
Are you ready?
He will create an “emergency” so he can declare martial law & suspend all elections indefinitely. Change my mind.
Trump and his cabinet can tell tall tales about the economy all they want but Walmart missing earnings is an indicator things are awry. Particularly because they hit sales guidance which means their margins are falling due to (drum roll) tariffs and other costs increasing.
A picture is worth 1000 words! #thelefthook Trump is in the top, follow me if you agree
China will dwarf the United States in easily affordable, non-petroleum/gas produced electricity thanks to the bribes from Big Oil to this administration. We will wallow in unclean air and drink unclean water with no safeguards from their damage thanks to RFK the LESSER. apnews.com/article/chin...
THIS! Quit applying your damn purity tests. He’s fighting fascism NOW - and no sane person is even thinking about the presidential election. Cause if we don’t learn to fight TOGETHER - there isn’t going to BE a fucking election in 26 - nevermind 28! WAKE THE FUCK UP!
Actual footage of Gavin Newsom fighting fascists:
Watching Gavin Newsom tell Trump to fuck off by imitating him, really lifts my spirits. We've waited a long time for Democrats to fight fire with fire and Newsom is showing how it's done. 🔥 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Gavin Newsom “Congratulations to Greg Abbott -- you will now go down in history as one of Donald Trump's most loyal lapdogs. Shredding our nation’s founding principles. What a legacy.”
Here legally, engaged in a sanctioned process to determine their eligibility for asylum, they have committed no crime. They are arrested anyway, and the lives they’ve risked to come to the US are thrown into chaos. Inside a photographer's view of ICE's relentless courthouse arrests.
Feels like the public should get to vote on whether we want a ballroom added to the White House
Our immigration enforcement should be focused on violent criminals and true threats to public safety. We should not divert resources to round up law-abiding, taxpaying immigrant workers just because Stephen Miller is a miserable, hate-filled wretch. Washington will keep fighting.
TWO? Really? The hyper-religious ones are always masters of projection of their own failings on others. I know about the porn sight on television during a state school board meeting in his office, but what was the other one?
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
EXCLUSIVE: Twenty members of the Defense Department are set to begin working as federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia next week, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Incredibly anti-democratic news from the Federal appeals court in Virginia. Side note, if you're not following and supporting @boltsmag.org, you're suspect. I kid, only a bit.
If anyone is planning a vacation to the US and/or DC, I'm sure they're thinking twice. @trilemma.bsky.social
