This is grotesque. wapo.st/4g2eATo

She puts out shit as bad as this or worse multiple times a day. 🤮 day.
This is actually what Hitler did, making “heroes” of Nazi thugs killed during the failed 1923 “Beer Hall Putsch.”
Thank you! ❤️ I’m connected to my local Indivisible chapter but at times you just feel overwhelmed.
So much horror is happening so fast, it seems impossible to keep up. Or stay sane. But what’s happening at HHS, at the CDC, at FEMA, is beyond belief.
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
I pray you’re right. Things are looking very bleak.
Every word, every action of this president has brought us closer to the abyss. Now he’s saying what he intends to do out loud for all to hear. And where are the institutions meant to protect us, the Congress, the courts, the media, the universities, the military? We are on our own.
“…they obscure reality under a haze of incremental stories, each one presented as if what is going on is fairly normal. As if it’s just politics. Every outrage is just one more thing Trump has done, rather than the ever-mounting evidence of a corrupt dictatorship.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is meeting this moment with the moral clarity and courage it requires. I highly recommend watching his full speech today.
Important point made here.
The press and the legacy media in general have utterly failed the American people in this time of existential peril. Sickening and shameful.

Four more Palestinian journalists murdered today by Israel. Clearly the IDF wants no one telling the world what they are doing in Gaza.
What is happening to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is what happens when fascism, cruelty, stupidity, and incompetence meet.
100 percent agree. We’re going to see a whole lot more of this.
Happy Ukrainian Flag Day! 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Trump’s press secretary says the quiet part out loud. Fascism has arrived.
Very well put! 👍
John Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, the Epstein coverup proceeds, and there's a seizure of 10% of Intel--another step to state capitalism. One day in the chaotic but purposeful march towards despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
RFK Jr. is slashing funding for autism research—wasting decades of progress and millions already invested. It’s reckless, it undermines real science, and betrays families who count on answers, not conspiracy. I refuse to stand by while facts are sidelined. www.propublica.org/article/rfk-...
Black Trump supporters,THIS is who he is. Act accordingly. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/u...

Excellent article on the impact of Trump’s Medicaid cuts on low-income, disabled persons dependent on home health care. From today’s NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/m...
Praying for peace and justice tomorrow. God save Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Here’s what Trump’s Medicaid cuts mean for one key purple state, North Carolina (from today’s WaPo). www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Europe is traveling to DC to back Ukraine in fight with Putin fanboy Trump. Yay Europe! ❤️ 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
And this from Fox News, for all love!
Trump got played (again) by a war criminal dictator who kidnaps children and murders his own people. Quite the coup, Donald.
Alaska protesting Taco n Putin! GO Alaska ✊🏼 #alaska #arresttrump
As a proud native Californian, I say, “Give ‘em hell, Governor!”
Trump’s takeover of DC police serves several purposes. One is to distract MAGA from Epstein. Another is to distract us from his many horrendous policies. A third is to get us used to Federal law enforcement & the military in the streets of our cities. He’s getting us used to the Trump dictatorship.
Tonight Israel brutally murdered Palestinian journalist, Anas Al-Sharif, and his entire Al Jazeera news crew. This brings number of Palestinian journalists killed by the IDF in Gaza since Oct. 7th to 237 (Israel allows no foreign press into Gaza to cover the war).
This doesn’t have anything to do with Ukraine, does it?
Putin is a convicted war criminal and yet he’s meeting with the US president on US soil. But given that the US president is a convicted felon himself, I guess it’s not so weird after all.
Love you, Jerry! ❤️
If you haven’t noticed, the US is now officially a gangster state run by a gangster president. Don’t give in to extortion, UCLA!
I know I just posted a #southpark clip on Kristi Noem & ICE, but this is so great, I just had to post another! Great work guys!
Here’s a little ditty by #jessewelles that ICE will definitely want to use it in its new recruitment drive. youtube.com/watch?v=OjGH...
Back at the weekly Trump protest at the Swampscott Monument, facing the Atlantic Ocean. Not too shabby. ⛵️Check out the soundtrack! ✊
Columbia and Brown’s settlements represent a dangerous capitulation that risks eroding the foundation of higher education. Harvard must refuse to make a deal with Trump that cedes the university’s autonomy in unconstitutional or unlawful ways. Tell Harvard not to bow to political pressure. 👇
He is the exemplar of tacky.
It’s definitely not funny. 😤 But it’s funny. 😂
We no longer live in the America we thought we lived in. Trump does not recognize rules or laws and is most likely President for life, with a complicit Supreme Court.
So much love & respect to all those who show up every Wednesday to protest at the ICE facility in Burlington, Massachusetts (just west of Boston)! ❤️Thank you, Isa, for posting this!!
I’ve had colleagues & close friends die of this terrible disease. Our descendants will look back at the actions of RFK Jr. & the entire Trump Regime in disbelief & disgust.
Love Trey! ❤️ He’s absolutely right. MAGA makes up & lives in its own reality! How do I know this? Because lately I’ve been spending WAY too much trolling on X. It’s not healthy! 😬😂🤪
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Marc Cohn, Della Mae (bluegrass), Los Lobos!
Let’s see how the markets react to this classic authoritarian move by the Orange Guy today.🍊 For some, facts still matter.
So the Orange Gangster thinks he can extort obedience from corporations, lawyers, the courts, the media, universities, other nations, the world) Well, we WON’T acquiesce, Donald. And here’s a little song to show you exactly how we feel (thanks, Woody!). ✊ youtu.be/ahl7_kCIiAk?...
An important read on the link between Israel’s Palestinian Genocide and the Jewish Holocaust.
A little good news amid the general horror.
Agreed!

Gee, I wonder how this is going to turn out.
Scottish press welcomes Trump on his critical presidential trip to visit his golf courses.
I grew up watching the movie, “Exodus,” on TV and supporting Israel & Zionism. No more. What Israel is doing to the Palestinian people in Gaza is genocide, pure & simple. History will never forget or forgive these atrocities. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Columbia bows to the Trump Regime and to fascism. Utterly shameful. Columbia Agrees to $200 Million Fine to Settle Fight With Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/n...
Wow, this sucks on so many levels.
Good to see that some of MAGA isn’t falling for the Trump distraction BS.
👍
This is what it’s come to in Gaza. Israel (and a complicit U.S.) will never escape the indelible moral stain of this endless, continuing atrocity.
Thank you for posting this! I wasn’t aware of Phelps. I am definitely checking him out now!
Blatant election rigging.
My alma mater. Like in Texas (& elsewhere), this makes you wonder if the GOP in NC is worried about 2026 & 2028. 🙄
Mike Johnson shuts down the House to avoid Epstein disclosures. Kind of makes you wonder if they have something to hide.
Great resource. Thanks #indivisible!
Whatever Trump touches turns to rot, death, and destruction.
Another week done and so time for some musical revitalization, here from #pinkfloyd and the great #davidgilmour. A vital message as well! youtu.be/1LOZIhbPk38?...
I live in Salem and saw those clouds a few days ago. Very cool!
Six months of Tyranny, Corruption, Incompetence, and Complicity. The Resistance continues! ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
Trump’s immigration policy in a nutshell. So much of the damage can never be undone. 💔💔
This great news! Respect to all who helped drive ICE out of Hanscom! Now we need to get them out of Burlington!!! ✊🏻
Hi Rose. No, that won’t happen I don’t think. The disaffected MAGA do not see Dems as potential allies (and vice versa). The best we can hope for is that they will sit out 2026 and 28.
Shame on those Jews & Jewish organizations who have allowed Trump to use “antisemitism” as an excuse to attack & dismantle higher education in America. Gift article from today’s WaPo. wapo.st/413jE3p
Yes, donate to PBS and NPR! More affluent, liberal folks will do this and, overall, those stations will be fine. Not so much in poorer, rural areas not well served by other media outlets (think Alaska). They’ll be screwed. The GOP knew this and they did it anyway.
So the GOP did it. They totally cut federal funding for PBS & NPR. And you know who will be hurt most by this? *People in red, rural states.* The same folks who will be most hurt by GOP cuts in Medicaid, SNAP, & FEMA. Smarten up, MAGA, you’re being played!!!
Everyone in America needs to read this FREE—I’ve gifted it below—report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein. Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is.
This says it all.
If you can, please participate in these important protest events across the USA tomorrow.
What exactly does this mean? State laws are needed which *mandate* unmasking and IDs, period.
A confession. A few days ago I opened an account on X and have been busy trolling posts on the Epstein imbroglio. It’s cathartic and I love watching MAGA devour itself. 🍿
I am so sorry for your loss.
Another rough week here in Trumpland USA (probably not the last). But we will resist & we will persist! So to brighten & recharge our spirits, here’s a great set of slip jigs by the great SF mandolinist, #marlafibish. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=4OMg...
