Newsom is too busy posting memes.
It’s the Confederate Army retaking the Union states (and the nations Capital). This is the civil war redux GOP turned MAGA Party has been pushing since Reagan kicked off with a dog whistle 1980 speech on (irony alert) “states rights” in Neshoba, Miss where the Klan murdered 3 freedom riders.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
"Be loud for America", is an astoundingly good rallying call for US citizens to resist the Trump autocratic takeover. Actionable and patriotic. Pritzker sure brings the fire to Democratic resistance.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
You are spreading disinformation when you don’t give full context. How about members are sucking up to Trump on their first day back from recess.
I think we’ve moved beyond the Epstein files. Washington DC is occupied by fascist.
Yet they keep voting for MAGA.
Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson says “Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as long as red states continue to have a gun problem.” Mayor Johnson points out if Trump really cared about violence in America, he would work on gun reform not militarizing cities!
"Musk’s destruction of the government through his and his minions’ DOGE activities will not be soon forgotten and continue to infuriate people affecting his bottom line as Tesla share prices and car sales are adversely affected." #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall countercurrents.org/2025/09/tesl...
We're at the stage that if you have a better idea of what people need to do, then you have to do it. And maybe it starts with a couple of people and grows. YOU really have to do it.
Sadly, Washington DC @mayorbowser.bsky.social is in the appeasement camp, she just knifed us residents in the back. While I agree that she's in a somewhat difficult spot there had to be a way for her to pull a Pritzker lite. A weak and pathetic woman.
Be like Pritzker. bsky.app/profile/atru...
You knifed us in the back. You can never appease fascists. Read history.
What are we doing here? @mayorbowser.bsky.social knifes us in the back. A hint Muriel, you can't appease fascists. They will keep taking.
Who does Free DC have in mind? Please, we MUST primary her!
Ice blue ribbons are being used to call attention to ICE kidnapping members of our immigrant community. Throwback to the yellow ribbons that people tied on their trees during the Iran hostage crisis in the 1970s. #ReleaseTheDisappeared
Why buy the lite version when you can have full fat.
He can and should step down from leadership.
Bad answer Bad follow up (as in none) Fail on both. We’re doomed.
Longtime NYC Rep. Jerry Nadler tells the NYT he's retiring. “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”
We need to keep up the ridicule! Newsom’s memes definitely get under his skin, but anything that annoy him will get his heart rate up. I’m lobbying to get the baby Trump blimp to come to DC next Sat. Conflict makes him happy, that’s why we should focus on making fun of him.
Do you hear this @schumer.senate.gov ? People want fighters!
Democratic primaries can’t come soon enough. I’m not naïve to believe many will be taken down, but a few will be.
Who will primary her? I would run myself but it’s hard to with the huge knife Bowser stuck in my back.
This morning (9/1) at 8 AM feds pulled over a couple at 18th & Park NW. They smashed the window, dragged the husband out & arrested him. When a community member stopped to record they were grabbed & threatened w/ pepper spray by this piece of shit. @mayorbowser.bsky.social do you welcome this too?
Hello @babytrumptourusa.bsky.social Please coming to DC next Saturday for the We Are All DC march! We’ll be walking down 16th to The White House. Sat. Sept 6th from 11am - 4pm freedcproject.org/event-list/w...
Especially when schools that were closed and bars that were open, was done under Trump.
How do we get you and baby Trump down to DC next weekend for the “We are all DC“ march?
HAPPY LABOR DAY WofA!! Whether you’re resting, enjoying the day on a boat, or TAKING ACTION, we hope you have a peaceful and fun day. Thank you for all the hard WORK you do to make this country WORK! We appreciate you, and we look forward to seeing you at next week’s membership meeting! #laborday
His base will eat 💩. They always do.
Evil doesn’t fly in MD - as long as Avelo is part of ICE’s abduction-deportation machine, it has no business here. Join us to ask Gov Moore to end MD's contract: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/governor-moore-kick-deportation-airlines-out-of-bwi #AveloOutOfBWI #GroundICE #MDIndivisible
@govwesmoore.bsky.social MD residents are counting on you to stand strong against ICE and their collaborators. You have the power to easily end our state’s contract for Avelo to operate here. #AveloOutOfBWI #AveloShutDown #AveloTakedown #GroundICE #StopAveloNow #SayNoToAvelo #MDIndivisible
I’m here at BWI Airport to say, “Hey hey, ho ho! Avelo and ICE have got to go!” #AveloOutofBWI
Why single out SJP? What about Dem leadership not supporting the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor?
New poster! "If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money."
Yes, it's true. Someone did take your job. And your healthcare, pension, wage hikes and life off a single income. It just wasn't immigrants, welfare recipients, queer people or women having abortions. If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money.
Where's Susan Sarandon?
This is in Georgetown, Washington, DC. Every Saturday EXCEPT next week, Sat. Sept, 6th. We'll be joining in the We Are All DC march. Join us at Malcom X Park at 11 am.
Newsom’s talking points are still crap. He continues to live in the Law and Order frame. Look at what Brandon Scott is doing in Baltimore. Reduce crime with social programs, not more police.
🎶 Join us every Saturday for a joyful dance party protest! We stand united against the billionaire takeover. We bring signs, water & bubbles — you bring the moves. Nonviolent, welcoming, powerful. Just show up & dance! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/... #JoyfulResistance @tesla-takedown.bsky.social
“The loyalists around Trump are much more open and much bolder in their authoritarianism than they were six months ago," says Steve Levitsky. "They’ve learned fight by fight that they can get away with it." Trump's accomplices are running wild. Examples below: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
D.C. is under federal police control. We call it a power grab, not public safety. Stand with us this Saturday at the Tesla Takedown. ✊ www.mobilize.us/indivisible/... @teslatakedown.com @tesla-takedown.bsky.social
the thing I love about Zohran’s campaign is that instead of “this place fucking sucks and I alone can fix it” his message is “being a New Yorker rules, we live in the best city in the world, let’s make it even better together” show some damn pride in the places you want to govern
So you’re going to ignore DC being occupied by fascists? Cancel David Shor and Blue Rose messaging guidance. Speak out FFS!
I know that other people have definitely used the “high school” framing to describe what’s going on in our politics, but the language debate today definitely makes me think there’s really something to it and a potential solution. Mock bullies and draw moral lines instead of playing their game. 8/8
Cuban explains why companies like Intel are happy to give fascists a cut. The wealthiest people in the country see it as a smaller sacrifice than what progressives are proposing in higher taxes.
DC police are now harrasssing people on metro bus stops. This is Fascism.
From Oregon, Florida, California, and More, use the link below to find a #StopAvelo protest near you! www.stopavelo.org/events Proud of the work of our coalition, proud of the results, and proud to be #StopAvelo
Might be the exact same people
You’re forgetting voter suppression.
Avelo's phone number is 346-616-9500 if anyone feels compelled to ask why the fuck they're letting people put children in shackles on their planes
Isn’t that sOciaLism?
Hey DC friends - come defy Trump's takeover with a dance party! They tried to back us down before, but #teslatakedown won't be intimidated. Join us!
They should demand withdrawal of DC and LA.
Grace.
Captain Beats is back! Saturdays 11am - 1pm @teslatakedown.com 3307 M St NW, Washington, DC We’re fabulously fighting fascism! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

I missed you when you were on hiatus. Loving the show today was a great episode. Thank you.
People didn’t believe the warnings because Democrats did not govern as if Trump was an existential threat. Hell Klobuchar planned his inauguration event, and Biden said “welcome home.”
And for the love of God, stop calling the occupation of my city a “distraction!” Even “good Democrats“ like Murphy and Raskin are saying this 💩 . Call it what it is, a fascist power grab.
That’s because Roberts court decided partisan gerrymandering is A-OK. It’s racial gerrymandering that is not so they’re really leaning into the partisanship because they know it’s completely legal. We’re way past shame.
This is the energy that the grassroots is waiting for! Hell, I don’t even care if you’re just saying this to raise money. At least you’re naming the situation for what it is, a fascist takeover.
I would tweak that framing. They have a responsibility to obey their oath constitution. And that is why appealing to their values might get them to do that better than yelling at them. I strongly believe you catch more flies with honey.
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
The entire episode was highly disappointing. Abby doesn’t understand the role of media. She thinks it’s all about showing both sides instead of alerting the public we are under a fascist takeover. And, she seemed oblivious Newsom is trolling to highlight media’s complicity. She has no substance.
They didn’t just sign up. They all were in the service before Trump even won. National guards sign up to do Hurricane relief support and get support for college. Stop simplifying. ICE = Brownshirts Nat Guard = serving their country to better themselves and now being used as pawns.
These kids didn’t sign up for this. They aren’t brown shirts like ICE. As a DC resident I plan to lean into their humanity. We need them on our side, especially since they will soon be armed.
But they didn’t chase migrant workers away. They put them in concentration camps so that they can force those very migrants to work for free. Modern day slavery, and too many Americans will be fine with it.
THIS IS NOT A DISTRACTION!!! IT'S FASCISM. If you can't see that then resign. I used to like you but you somehow are allergic to honesty. It's a fucking fascist power grab of a city full of families like mine.
These kids aren't coming willingly. As a DC resident, I plan to appeal to their humanity. They don't want to be here. We want them on our side. Now ICE agents, different story.
"Dems can turn things around by holding up people who are working hard on this issue & succeeding. Brandon Scott talking about how he actually brought down crime in Baltimore is more effective than the blathering of 'strategists' whose answer to everything is that Dems should act like Republicans."
The amount of crime folks would like is zero, so "crime is down" not exactly the slam dunk argument. Further, it brings crime top of mind. And it tacitly credits oppo argument that crime rate they deem unacceptable is justification for unleashing military on Americans.
Slow down ICE by helping local businesses put up signs to clearly mark “Staff Only” areas that can’t be entered without a warrant. Protect your community while showing solidarity with immigrant workers and customers: act.indivisible.org/...
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
Hard to enjoy a dinner when ICE could show up at any moment and kidnap the kitchen staff.
Doesn’t the money come from federal taxes, not from Mississippi? Seems to me this is a vacation to the nations capital for 200 Mississippians.
A great, short write up of why Free DC has been so effective in the ongoing occupation of the District ordered by Trump. https://wagingnonviolence.org/2025/08/free-dc-models-effective-resistance-to-trumps-takeover/ The Mastodon for Free DC fundraiser is ongoing. Learn more at […]
They ignored Stalin’s famine of Ukraine. Check out Mr. Jones. youtu.be/wtWSyFNT9qY?...
🧵(Thread) Crime, Centrism, and the Democratic Party Part 1: Answering SE Cupp This thread is about answering the most prominent talking points about crime being a "loser" for the Democratic party in the face of Trump's federalization of Washington, DC Let's start with SE Cupp's take 1/
Yep! It's part of the 3 Rs: Resist, Refuse, Ridicule.
Correct. And not just optics, Senators have an enormous amount of power, not so much in the House. Trump's cabinet nominees were confirmed in record time thanks to Senate Dems squandering their power.
For the Umpteenth time @chrismurphyct.bsky.social , the MILITARY OCCUPATION of Washington DC is not a distraction! It's a fascist takeover.
I said EX- punk/hipster, not current (but white hat screams I’M STILL COOL) I figured you fled to burbs b/c kids instead of staying in the city & making it their home. I see that’s true. Dude, we’re are on the same team - both fighting fascism. Your idea didn’t consider the families living here.
🚨 "Just following orders" was not an excuse in 1933—and it's not now.
Typical ex- Punk/hipster white guy who did some time in DC, moved to the suburbs to raise kids, but still feels they have a voice of what goes on in the city.
Northern Virginia is a bridge - how the hell would I know where “around DC” is. Just take the L on your bad idea. We don’t need more troops. It’s like guns. More guns don’t make anyone safer.
You won't beat the fascists by strategically sacrificing marginalized people. Anyone with any fucking sense of history would understand that.
Yes, he is. And bringing more troops our city won’t help. This isn’t a game.
I’m not interested in getting into a pissing match with you, but I’ve got you beat. Oh, and I don’t live around DC, I live IN DC. We don’t need a punk from NoVa or MoCo weighing in. #NoBridges
I don’t know why I even responded to you. not gonna waste my energy on rando’s randoms thoughts. DC is not a political toy. We are a city of families and communities.
DC resident here. This is a terrible idea. We don’t want any more troops in our city.
Making plans to be in the park this weekend? Many green spaces in DC are federal property and are now places where you are at higher risk of interactions with law enforcement. Be smart and be safe this weekend, y’all.
huge inspiration but please tell him to stop disparaging boomers. They make up a HUGE portion of the grassroots. Yes, we need the gerontocracy in Dem fed leadership to release their hold on power but but boomer are not the problem. Just stop at Billionaires and MAGA.
Glad to see Avelo Airlines as an action we ALL can take to stop authoritarianism. Watch about the what & why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRuw... starts at the 25min mark. Learn how: www.groundavelo.org #HellNoAvelo!
Trumpism has proven the Jamie Dimons of the world are nihilists at heart. They don't care about anything, not America, democracy, law, nor even capitalism. All their chest-puffing about the importance of free markets, liberty, and prosperity gone instantly in favor of an aging addled authoritarian.
My next poster. "Did you lose your dildo?"
The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.
Also, that comment that “liberals ruined it “shows how unprofessional these people are. They are not supposed to bring an ideology into their work.
