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...
There was something I missed that I now understand with grave reality — people lived their lives under repressive systems. They still worked and cooked and ate and wrote and talked to neighbors. They still took walks and watched movies and read books. A nightmare. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
What a 💩 show.
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Perfect comparison
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 🧵

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
Because we ALL know that Trump and his cronies don’t know how and don’t care to learn how to do the hard stuff of governing. It’s always been about what’s in it for them and to hell with everyone else. Another sick distraction
I can’t count how many times I thought and stated that since Trump and MAGA. Married to my husband for 47 years. So thankful he is still the good man I married.
I quit watching the day Joe and Mika went to Mar a lago. Cold turkey done.
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
OMG 😳
These times sure do separate the wheat from the chaff.
Oh please. Let’s give the Vegas ladies more credit than this tacky cheap abomination
Right?? The trouble is that sooo many people cannot recognize the smart and competent among us. Scary.
Hopefully there’s a Hell so Ronald Reagan can be burning in it for what he did to working class Americans.
There has to be at least a few of the Republicans who don’t have compromat hanging over them. Right??
Last year, I had hope that we would make progress. This year I hope we won’t devolve into an autocratic police state. I hope I have healthcare. I hope my kids can afford to buy groceries. I hope my neighbor isn’t deported. I have hope. I am also paying attention. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
For God’s sake, Listen to the women!!!
Not a fu*kin thing
It is very clear who the fighters are. They get their voices out there on all forms of media. Loud and clear. Bless them. We will remember
Hero
Unreal🤬. We get to pay for dress up foreplay.
More of the “we’re all in so deep, we have to dig the hole deeper. Can’t turn around now.” Eventually the walls will cave in on these 💩 hole diggers
They are mad with power
Recipe for disaster. From day one
Maybe they are looking for an exit ramp now??
I can’t even say unbefuckinlievable with these MAGAs anymore. It’s so pathetically predictable

Shout out to Heather Cox Richardson! Thank you for your consistent and incredible work!
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care. 🔗 thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
I’m sorry too. Every single day. Thank you for fighting. We’re still here
Human torture. Sickening beyond belief
This is why they didn’t want him back: He is a witness.
I remember
They have given away every bit of humanity that they ever possessed to a conman. It is indeed sickening. And to think, we all know and are even related to people who think like this😢
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.
Hey @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty y’all see this? 😕
And many more!!
We need to start pushing back—legally If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators. 🎥 Record. 📍 Share location. 📞 Call the police. “ICE vest” is not an ID.
“End this oligarchy”
I’m sure there are some good ones. They are just outnumbered
Mother of 3 and too old to ever be pregnant again but if I were younger, I would not be having children in any red state. Pregnancy can be dangerous to a woman in the best of circumstances. These states are far far from the best of circumstances
We have reached the point where they throw up their hands and admit that it’s too hard and they need help from the qualified people

Always. I’m so sick of these old men raining war upon our 🌏. It’s like nothing changes through the ages.
It’s always the money. Then when they get all the money, it becomes about keeping us from learning how they got all the money
In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a “palantir” is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality. Palantir Technologies bears a striking similarity. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.
As if hating your neighbors will entice the Creator to destroy the world. The hubris of these people is astounding
ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.
This is an insurrection.

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.
The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025
And, before Trump, they hated Elon
Hmmm Musk must have worn out his usefulness and is now a danger to the regime

As long as we came home by dark. I mean they vaguely knew where we were.
The proof man! Give us the evidence!

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺
There it is
Please keep this going!
Feed hungry children!
Do they mean like, beamed up??
Everyone should have stood up, showed her their backs, and then walked out. These MAGAs aren’t serious about working for their constituents. This sentiment from a sitting Senator of the US is astounding.
🤡CORRUPT Elmo WON the presidency for Trump; used DOGE to STOP investigations into his businesses; gave himself billions in gov't contracts; cut foreign aid; stole data; found NO WASTE & then stopped! How could this happen without Congressional approval? www.npr.org/2025/04/27/n...
Safe travels Senator. I’m pretty sure you’re the real deal😊
A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...
As well they should
