You follow them right to the destination. You don't blow it up!
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.
Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion. It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections. These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.
Good morning to you!
Good Morning, Bluesky friends. We will see what he has to say this afternoon. Meanwhile we will carry on! If they have to amputate his leg he won't take that very well since he is so vain. 💙☮️🦋💙

It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
TODAY: This Labor Day, we stand together for a country that puts working families before billionaires. Find an event near you: bit.ly/3Vm59ED
Happy Labor Day, Bluesky friends. I hope all the protests are successful all around the country. Stay safe and enjoy the day! 💙☮️🦋💙
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
California stepping up.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Beautiful and sunny here. I hope the weather is great for tomorrow's protests in all the states! Power to the people! 💙☮️🦋💙
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I hope all the protests will go well and the media covers them all!
Stay safe and be strong! Power to the people! www.newsweek.com/map-list-cit...
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
BOOM. The federal appeals court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, because they are. There's no national emergency, and so the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. Trump admin has lost at every stage of the process, but stay tuned for the Supremes to chime in.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
"The media seems to have accepted Leavitt’s 'frequent handshaking' diagnosis. But photos from last Saturday showed Trump with bruising on his left hand too. Are we to believe he’s double-fisting his handshakes now?"
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Another day of him dismantling our country. Stay safe and I hope you enjoy the last weekend in August. 💙☮️🦋💙
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
My grandfather also wants to pass along the message that RFK Jr. is destroying one of the prime achievements of American medicine. This is something he knows well, given the decades of his life he dedicated to medicine, to the scientific pursuits, and to helping research new treatments for diseases.
Here he goes.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
I think everyday we have is a gift so I don't want to waste it on what I can't fix or control. Time is going to sort this out. Next election cycle will be intense but for now he keeps digging a deeper hole I believe. Sometimes we are stuck and have to wait to get unstuck.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. I hope you have a nice day and that we get some good news. Meanwhile while we wait find something to do that you enjoy! 💙☮️🦋💙
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
BREAKING: In a major win for voting rights, an Arizona Court tosses a GOP lawsuit that tried to make voting by mail even harder. With nearly 90% of Arizonans voting by mail — this ruling protects voters from mass ballot rejections based on minor signature mismatches.
There are no words that will heal the pain of this community.
You're right and it breaks my heart!
I went to Catholic School. Maybe that is why this is upsetting me so much. The children are taught to be good people. Why would anyone hate what is good so much?
This is so tragic. The children were in a Mass when this happened. What's going on? abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-...
I am so very sorry this has happened again.
I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information. The BCA and State Patrol are on scene. I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.
Well it's a wrap for now He's not TOAST TODAY
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Another nice day to get outside and enjoy this cool early Fall weather. Onward we go. I am just waiting for something to happen that helps us change directions for the good of our country and the world. 💙☮️🦋💙
Good night and sleep well!
These guys should be home with their families.
Masked immigration raids don’t protect us. They hide abuse and strip away our dignity. Stand with me in demanding transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition.
I remember the National Guard opening up and killing Kent State students that were protesting peacefully. I remember people being thrown in prison for just possessing a small amount of Cannabis. This has happened before. We must get through this for at least the sake of all our children.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Another beautiful day to be outside. Taking a break from watching the news has been good for us. The harder he tries to destroy blue cities the more I draw away. I will stay deep in the country because it is peaceful here. Find something to do that makes you smile.💙☮️🦋💙
Chicago ain't having it.
New in PN: "Trump's latest executive order makes clear that DC is just the beginning, an appetizer before the main course"
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
Where are all the corporate media headlines demanding his resignation? Where are the all the assumptions that about specialists visiting the White House meaning the president is dying? They did this daily with Biden. Why not now? Are they covering for their cash cow? Are they paid to cover it up?
Good morning, Bluesky friends. What beautiful weather we are having and I hope it is nice for you too. Great day to work outside. 💙☮️🦋💙
Good night, Bluesky friends. We had a nice relaxing weekend and I hope you did too! He sure isn't looking very healthy. His hand looks terrible and his leg looks like it has some kind of support. Onward we go and time will tell how sick he could be. Meanwhile we must keep on keeping on! 💙☮️🦋💙
Since Trump spent all day questioning Wes Moore’s military service, I assume we can now expect several very specific well researched questions for him about his Vietnam draft deferment from the WH press this week.
As California faces extreme heat and fire weather conditions, we’re prepared with the world’s largest firefighting fleet to respond quickly and protect Californians. Across the state, we stand ready with new aircraft, personnel, and resources to swiftly respond and save lives.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
My man
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Another great day to tune out the TV news and enjoy being outside. Nothing like God's green earth to keep your spirits high! 💙☮️🦋💙
It is necessary. I won't let him live rent free in my head. I want to enjoy the time I have on this earth and not waste on someone like him. The battle continues but he is destroying himself right before our eyes. Time isn't in his favor.
Good night, Bluesky friends. I hope you are having a pleasant weekend. We are! I am taking a little break from too much news. We need that sometimes these days! 💙☮️🦋💙
Andrew McCabe casts doubt on Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with DOJ: “It‘s so suspicious. When you listen to the tapes, you get the sense that Ghislaine Maxwell went into that room knowing what information she had to deliver…to get some sort of benefit that she is pursuing from the administration.”
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
He really looks sick. Is it CHF?
Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide. Donald Trump was deeply embedded in Epstein’s sordid dealings. The DOJ and GOP Congress are covering for him. Ghislaine Maxwell will carry his secrets in exchange for a way out of her incarceration. Go ahead. Change my mind.
Yes, it IS sick. But totally what we’d expect from Trump.
Trump says: “They’re wearing red hats, African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago.’” Bullshit. The vast majority of Chicagoans hate Trump. He got 22% of the vote in Chicago and 28% in Cook County last year. He needs to stay the hell away.
A judge ruled the Trump administration cannot deny funding to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and 30 other cities and counties because of policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts.
I understand that. I am staying busy working outside and that has been my sanity. The news seems so hopeless and November of 2026 is far away. Bluesky is where I get my news because the TV News is too tolerant of him.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Wishing you a wonderful day. Great weather in our neck of the woods and I hope it is for you too. I never thought I would quit watching the TV news but I am getting close to totally stopping just like after Bush invaded Iraq. Life is too short to waste. 💙☮️🦋💙
Good night, Bluesky friends. Another day of more unreal news. Watching the news is getting very hard to handle. I will keep hoping something happens that can stop this downhill spiral of our country. I am glad we live way out in the country. Take time to do something that makes you happy!💙☮️🦋💙
Breaking News: The Trump administration ordered construction to stop on a $4 billion wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island that has already mostly been built.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. Another day of the man doing things that a good man would never do. He had John Bolton's home raided. He is one angry man to want to arrest anyone who speaks out against him now or in the past. Buckle up because here we go again! 💙☮️🦋💙
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics
Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."
Good night, Bluesky friends. I like seeing people rising up against the madness. My how our country has changed in just over 6 months. So many scared people hiding out of fear and that is just one issue. I know things will get worse but maybe an awakening will happen. I can hope! 💙☮️🦋💙
Wow amen to that!
I agree. I am 77.
Love them! My husband did 2 tours in Vietnam and I was always against the war. It sure wasn't a welcome homecoming for him and all the veterans.
The truth is the truth. We need to know so we don't repeat anything that should never be repeated! Knowledge is power!
Trump is a dictator clawing to control everything. But our voices are getting louder, as more and more folks are rising up, speaking out, and refusing to back down. The great news I have for you today is proof of that.
Canadian residents made just 1.7 million return trips by motor vehicle back into their country from the U.S. in July, a nearly 37% decline over the same month in 2024, according to Statistics Canada. n.pr/4lFdvCe
That is one smart squirrel!
Reminder: Tina Peters, former Mesa county clerk, was convicted in Colorado state court on seven charges, 4 of them felonies, for unauthorized access to election machines and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election for Donald Trump.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. I hope we get good news today. Find something you love to do and do it. Don't let the man rob you of your smile!💙☮️🦋💙
3 times a day edibles keep me smiling.
Per new ruling, the California Supreme Court will not prevent Democrats from moving forward today with a plan to redraw congressional districts
Good night, Bluesky friends. I am not up to date on the news from today but I will catch up tomorrow. Miller said 90 year old hippies should go home and take a nap. Good idea. It is nice to be an old hippie. I don't look like one but I do have a tie dyed heart. Power To The People. 💙☮️🦋💙
What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.
President Stubb about the amount of Ukrainian territory Russia wants: The best way to explain its that if you take the relative land mass of what Russia wants right now from 🇺🇦,it would be a little bit like you giving up Florida,Georgia,S.Carolina,N.Carolina,even Virginia,then bumping into Maryland
Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I don’t see one “elderly white hippie” there. I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.
The big box retailer has struggled with slumping sales recently amid a backlash over its retreat from diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.
EXCLUSIVE: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California redistricting proposal has a 22-point polling advantage, according to an internal memo from Newsom’s pollster obtained by Axios.
Good morning, Bluesky friends. I am so tired of him trying to rewrite history. Meanwhile we must keep on keeping on! We can't fail mostly for the children. We can't leave them to grow up in a world that is driven by hating minorities and being only concerned for the wealthy. 💙☮️🦋💙
