Resist as though your children’s lives depend on it. Their Freedom is up to you. My favorite people call me Nana. After 7 years on Twitter X, desperately seeking the friends I followed and hope to see my 1200+ followers here. NO DM’s, no MAGA apologists.

Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.
"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.
As I was saying…
Jeffries: The government is scheduled to shut down on October 1st. The House was scheduled to vote and be present in Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 29th, and Tuesday, September 30th, in advance of the possible shutdown. And Mike Johnson has said, stay at home. That’s ridiculous.
BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.
Sorry the reason you are not seeing Black voices platformed to speak to this moment & are in fact seeing what few there were repressed is due to no lack of qualified Black intellectuals, it's deliberate white supremacism, so don't put a naive act on.
Charlie Kirk's death has begun to show up in Republican campaign ads. It’s the latest sign that the conservative activist’s death will play a role in the GOP's midterm messaging.
If Democrats added human psychology to their strategy, they’d be so much more powerful. They’d create more opportunity to win. Right wing is all about using human psychology effectively. Old playbooks are obsolete.
⚡️Trump's position on Russia-Ukraine land swaps has changed, Zelensky says. In an interview with Fox News following his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, President Volodymyr Zelensky said he believes Trump's position on swapping territories in exchange for peace has changed.
Let’s see … ABC/Disney decided that bending a knee to the #PedoInChief was more important than the 1st Amendment. Now they‘re back pedaling because they lost billions in less than a week and putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. They’re thinking maybe we’ll all subscribe again. I think I’ll pass
Don't care what they're doing now, FUCK Disney! FUCK ABC!
Missing this guy today
A lot of Tylenol consumed at the U.N. today
Pritzker: "This is a person who thinks that his personal will should be imposed on the United States. That's not how it works."
New video: "Trump Humiliates America In Front Of The World" click below to WATCH👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlxRmPuBMpg
After watching that idiot address the UN I am so embarrassed to be a US citizen.
Colbert celebrates Kimmel's return: "Yeah! Once more, I am the only martyr in late night! Wait. Unless... CBS, you want to announce anything? Still no? Right, 'cause the money thing. I forgot.
Random thoughts…
No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......
MELVIN: The president repeatedly did say though that he would end the war on day 1, and we are some 250 days into the administration MARCO RUBIO: Yeah, but that's not up to us to end the war MELVIN: Repeatedly on the campaign trail he said he would end it on day 1
So, lemme get this straight. According to this "administration," women are to: *Not have contraceptives *No abortions *Little prenatal care because shortage of doctors *Not afford to birth, raise, educate those babies *And now, "tough it out" during pregnancy w/o Tylenol? THEY HATE WOMEN.
On this we agree wholeheartedly.
🤷🏼
the Tom Homan bribery scandal is the latest example of how a felon in the White House is making crime legal
they don't give Black ppl actual pain meds they think we don't feel pain they still teach this shit
An Indiana university fired an employee amid a firestorm whipped up by the state’s attorney general. Did that violate the Constitution? 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

What a country.
Truth.

Nexstar made a deal to acquire broadcast conglomerate Tegna in a $6.2 billion deal, which will require government approval. They’re continuing to refuse to air Kimmel.
BOYCOTT SINCLAIR GROUP. Their 38 stations are listed below. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/e...
Oh look — Harshbarger getting in on the grifting. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investi...
He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.
For anyone who needs to hear this, by virtue of being a “human being” with “empathy” and a concern for “the dignity of others,” well, I regret to inform you that you are and always have been a part of antifa.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has not commented since ABC pulled his show from the air over comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
PBS doing Gods work here www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
We need to break up media conglomerates. They're not operating in the best interest of the public and are trying to control free speech. Let's target Sinclair advertisers. youtu.be/lEATyH7Nrzo?...
Never forget that anti-black racism has always been the first tactic used by elites to pull the wool over the eyes of the white masses to distract them from those same elites pulling from the pockets of the masses. It worked during the slavery era, during industrialization, and continues even now.
Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.
Trump has humiliated the United States on the global stage again
Don’t fall for the stunt: Trump’s Antifa designation is a branding exercise to erase scandal and silence protest.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This needs to make the national news sites!
800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.
Boycott these stations and boycott their advertisers.
Dear World: a quarter of us voted for him. Most of us disapprove of him. Most of us are embarrassed by him. He does not represent us.
HOman is one of the bigger prostitutes.
They've known it for years.
The demented occupant of the White House can call the climate crisis a hoax, but it’s still a crisis. This is one case where there’s actually an emergency rather than all the pretend emergencies he claims to justify his attacks on immigrants and American cities.
We badly need a coherent policy for otherwise-law-abiding illegals who've been in the U.S. for years.
Sinclair has vowed to continue to preempt Jimmy's show. I don't live in a Sinclair market but those who do need to hit the advertisers www.thewrap.com/sinclair-rep...
Too much.
I’m not surprised by Miller plagiarizing Goebbels for his speech. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is the most unoriginal administration ever. Nothing this fascism brings to the table is new.The fact they aren’t even trying for originality was why it was so easy to identify as fascism
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Just another reminder that Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625% which is FAR lower than private sector retirement programs.
Which streaming service should we boycott next and may I suggest Amazon
If you can't get Kimmel tonight, you can watch it on You Tube tomorrow. It's free.
“I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.” To the people of the world who wonder if there are Americans who grasp how mad he is: There are. We can see it. We are working to mobilize our people to oppose him and his dangerous regime.
Rather than a resistance, the concept of an opposition is more comprehensive and durable. It recognizes that there are no time limits to the effort. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...
Everyday covering politics is like marinating in sewage
Know your rights
White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.
No. No they should not. And California has had it with unaccountable, anonymous federal officers.
I will post this everyday to remind us. She was always right!
I’m not taking medical advice from a man who can’t pronounce an over-the-counter drug…
Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…
Absolutely this.
More GOP sickos. Are we finally seeing the issue here, America?!
Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."
The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.
Some of us do.
No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.
Brett Meiselas: Erika Kirk showed immense strength speaking after her husband’s murder. But the event was hijacked—Miller echoed Goebbels, Tucker spread anti-Semitism, and Trump ranted about tariffs and invading U.S. cities. Instead of uniting us, they exploited tragedy to fuel hate and division.
I just signed a new law requiring lenders to offer mortgage payment pauses to Californians whose homes were damaged by the LA fires. These survivors deserve grace as they rebuild from this tragedy — without damage to their credit, late fees, or threats of foreclosure.
We don't bow. We don't kneel. In America, we decide, not dictators. No thrones. No crowns. #NoKings social.demcast.com/s/P3H7hIWG
This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.
Good options: *BBC News / BBC World Service *Deutsche Welle (DW News) *France 24 *Al Jazeera *The Associated Press (although U.S.-based...it operates globally and is widely regarded as a fact/reporting wire service more than opinion.) *Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty *CBC News (Canada)
Wishing a heartfelt Shana Tovah to all who are celebrating Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a year of health, happiness, and meaningful new beginnings.
