Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve
An under reported fact about Trump redistricting is they’re making safely red districts a little more competitive. There’s a chance the GOP loses previously held seats to a public bristling with anger toward GOP candidates.
Having experienced qualified people in government makes us all safer. Trump 2.0 is all about removing our safety and security for what??
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
Degrade journalists Interfere with elections Attack institutions of higher education Destabilize public support for legal system Make business deals to benefit leadership
Congress needs to pass an assault weapon ban to get these “weapons of war” out of the hands of civilians🤷🏻♂️
It’s absurd kids have to spend class time running active shooter drills. They increase kids anxiety about school safety. It’s more effective to ban assault rifles. We did it in the 90’s and mass shootings went down. Mass shootings ⬆️ after assault rifles became available again. GUNS KILL PEOPLE‼️
This is how the administration looks like it’s hiring personnel when in reality they have no intention of filling vacancies🤷🏻♂️
The grift that keeps giving. U.S. confirms its first human case of New World screwworm so we can all have brain worms🙄
Sadly, his constituents reelected him for the last 6 elections🤨 This is why we’re in the current political nightmare: citizens blindly voting for an incumbent who hasn’t been working for their benefit, and voters not taking elections as a serious responsibility for self governance🙄
Oh look at the present HHS secretary RFK Jr. has let into America. Now every American can have a worm eat our brains and die in our skulls.
Everything about her performance is Golden from asking for help with her wings through twirling in front of the mirror.
Authoritarian dictatorial regime🤷🏻♂️
He would’ve made a damn fine VP🤨
As Trump’s favorability falls below 40%, we may begin to see his hold over the MAGA faithful begin to falter. Below 40%, he’s losing diehard MAGA faithful who support his fascist agenda. Republican politicians may begin to act for the benefit of their constituents.
Hey MAGA, take a cleansing breath …. the pedophiles are in your house.
This is their game plan. It’s as predictable as the sun rising from the east and setting to the west. Knowing their tactics can be advantageous to an opposition🤷🏻♂️
Deport Stephen Miller NOW. America will be safer without this evil little man leading his gestapo to violently arrest innocent civilians, ship them to concentration camps where they’re denied due process and eventually get expelled to a random country without their families knowledge.
And he definitely deserved it
That’s an entitled white woman who’s never interacted with law enforcement before. She must be getting along great with her fellow prisoners🤔
Republican shenanigans to illegitimately gerrymander congressional districts will be fixed when Congress passes the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. This bill must be a Democratic priority after we regain congressional majorities in 2026. We need a party to govern and hold Trump admin accountable🙄
An idea:
Watch out for the pickles, they sting when they hit your eyes.
This is mob rule not legitimate law enforcement. This is what happens in Trump’s vision of America🤷🏻♂️
This authoritarian regime is trying to dismantle the American scientific research establishment. Scientific investigation can’t be stopped it can only be delayed. After MAGA has been vanquished to the dustbin of history, scientific inquiry will resume.
When you have to hide your face and need tactical gear to feel safe standing outside of a peaceful gathering, the Trump administration is showing us just how weak they really are🤨
Trump said they were going to be deporting the worst of the worst. How does a 17yo student meet that criteria? Does ICE need to attack this teen to detain him? All about messaging. They’re telling the world America is closed to all immigrants & refugees. MAGA is ruining what made America great.
If she thinks Gavin Newsom’s a socialist, I wonder what she thinks of Trump? He’s got a “golden share” to interfere with operations of US Steel and he’s taking a 15% cut of private companies chip sales to China. That’s socialism in action.
Immigrants have never been taking jobs away from Americans. Americans are unwilling to work these unskilled, low wage, physically demanding jobs🙄
🚨BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling Thursday, striking down Louisiana’s state legislative maps for violating the Voting Rights Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
These craven Trump admin people don’t believe in our first amendment right of free speech. As soon as someone says something they don’t like, they take punitive action.
AG Paxton forum-shopped his arrest-the-Dems bid to an Illinois county that went for Trump by 47 points. No luck: the judge there handed him his head on a plate.
Trump’s just a bully who uses goons to intimidate his adversaries. He’s a scared little boy hiding in a 79yo body. Americans need to show support for our democracy and vote MAGA out of office in `26 and `28.
When the federal govt refuses its responsibility to keep the public safe and help survivors with disaster recovery, it falls to state political leaders to innovate solutions. We’re at our best when we innovate to solve big problems. Thank you @governor.ca.gov
Repost if you think Trump's deployment of federal law enforcement in DC is not about making the city safe, but rather an attempt to exert power. 🔁
What next, a wet T-shirt contest on the concrete slab that used to be the White House rose garden🙄
Prepare for lots of golden trinkets and the removal of exhibits that accurately reflect the struggles throughout US history🙄

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York. ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.
DHS plans to expel every person in ICE custody. They’re not letting detainees challenge unlawful detention in court. DHS is going to rendition them off US soil ASAP. Trump immigration policy mimics gestapo treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Cruelty is the point. We can do better.
Donnie doesn’t understand that when he fires govt workers the unemployment rate increases. There are businesses that depend on govt workers, so those businesses are adversely affected which will lead to private sector layoffs. Lastly, people afraid of ICE are reducing demand which leads to layoffs.
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
I reject the premise that ICE agents are detaining criminals. We know they’ve detained and expelled people here legally on visas, with green cards, and even US citizens. ICE is behaving like a secret police organization such as the KGB, Stasi or the Gestapo.
ICE is hiring thousands of agents as DOJ fires immigration judges. Miller & Homan are denying due process for all detainees. We’ve seen their immigration plan. Masked agents illegally detain civilians, rapidly send them to unknown detention sites then expel them to places like CECOT or Sudan.
Hey #MAGA, the pedophiles are calling from inside the house … the White House🤷🏻♂️
Hey #MAGA, the pedophiles you’ve been warning about are in the MAGAverse🤨
Epstein and Maxwell’s victims have more power than they know. Collectively, they know the names of their abusers. They should let the public and their abusers know they’re no longer going to stay silent. #EpsteinVictims
U Penn should consider revoking Donald’s degree. His complete lack of understanding about basic economic concepts is so profound a high school student would be able to demonstrate more knowledge about how a modern economy functions.
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq
Don’t forget Melania remodeled the rose garden in 2020. This time he paved over the remaining grass to turn it into a parking lot. Wonder how much he’s going to charge donors for Oval Office parking. Maybe he’ll add a drive through so his donors don’t even have to get out of their cars
Hidden in the lungs of some breast cancer survivors are tumor cells that can remain dormant for decades — until they one day trigger a relapse. Now, experiments show for the first time these rogue cells can be roused from their slumber by common respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 or the flu.
Golden oval, golden ballrooms and golden jets. His piss-frosted life.
Motherfucking wind farms…
A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.
You were right then and it’s only gotten much worse in the intervening years😔
Trump admin is destroying every aspect of America that has made us a great nation. They’re dismantling our ability to make technological advances, get world class education, maintain economic stability and provide global leadership for what🤔 Nothing good will come of their destructive actions.
Whenever they use the old KĶK slogan “America First”, remind them of where they got it from
We're not mind readers but...
There are always lots of words coming out of 47’s mouth, yet they never answer the question nor do they even form cohesive statements.
After Dems regain control of our political system, they need to pass a 21st century VRA because voting rights are constantly under attack by the right.
He bankrupted 2 casinos. #ettd
Today’s the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act—but the fight for access, dignity, and justice didn’t start in 1990, and it sure as hell didn’t end there. Anyone can become disabled at any time. So saving Medicaid is survival. For all of us. #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies
🚨 This woman tries to call the family of the man being disappeared and ICE will not allow her to get a phone number. One of the “undercover” mobsters nearly backed into her.
It’s fitting Trump’s being taken down by a conspiracy theory of his own making🤷🏻♂️ Karma always catches up.
Trump always turns on his collaborators. Amazed otherwise rationale people continue to do business with him🙄
Great plan. Dems can visit republican districts and hold town hall meetings. That will keep Epstein in the news until Congress returns in September. Trump’s handling of this scandal makes it clear why all of his businesses ended in failure. Has no one in Trumpland heard of crisis managers?
Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...
He still can’t get over fact that President Obama was awarded a Nobel peace prize and he discredited Trump’s conspiracy theory to derail Obama’s presidency by questioning his citizenship. First black president and Trump starts a conspiracy over his citizenship. Karma’s catching up to the racist SOB.
Congrats!! Looking forward to see you at the desk. You’re going to nail it.
It’s reassuring members of the military are troubled by being used to keep Americans “in line”. That’s the American people I know: follow legal orders, question legality, and respect rights of civilians. Americans are good and decent people trying to do the right thing in difficult times.
How easily trump’s gestapo turns violent against their fellow community members.
Neighbors protecting neighbors.
Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq
Idiots. An intern could see that excuse was going to blow up in seconds🙄
Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.
After years of avoiding Tik Tok, decided it’s time to join up. When my own government could be the dark force surveilling my internet activity, having Chinese intelligence surveilling my activities is the least of my worries. Anyone have fun screen name recommendations for me to follow?
The actions of regular people can make or break authoritarian regimes. Never forget there are more of us than them. Don’t bend the knee, your children will thank you🤷🏻♂️
Every adult should be protecting 10 year olds, not salivating over their bodies.
And Philly’s own WHYY.
Never forget that we are paying for these terrorists with our taxes. First order of business for next Congress should be an ICE rescission package. MAGA gave Trump’s gestapo $150B in the Big Ugly Bill. The American people overwhelmingly support Big Bird. Nov 2026 can’t get here fast enough🤷🏻♂️
@tomtomorrow.bsky.social @rubenbolling.bsky.social First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow
Wonder how long it will take to develop his next show on HBO🤔
They’re mission is to create a white ethno-state. Part of their plan is to make POC uncomfortable so they self deport🙄
America has a strategic oil reserve. Japan has a strategic rice reserve. Different priorities🙄
👇🏼👊
Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled. Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.
Epstein is Trump’s Watergate. Will be interesting to see if his political career survives🤔
