The monster is rising again
great comment!
The wealthy used to buy indulgences-- the fun part is that trump tells us that he needs them
all of it going bananas.. đą
No need for money, hell is waiting eagerly
You sound like Father Anrgy: "Progressives have to understand that they canât just badmouth ânormieâ Dems at will." Times like these call for a revolution in the "norms" that got us losing freedoms every day
I love them. To be preserved for future generation as they capture the spirit of times. The Pence one is chilling.
"why he ultimately decided to run for office: âDemocrats talking about how theyâre fighting fascism,â he wrote in a post on X. âItâs such bullshit. Weâre not idiots. Everyone knows most of them arenât doing jack shit right now to fight back.â Yes, i hope Susan Collins days are over!
No more words! How many more Ukrainians died since your last post that said precisely the same?
JD means the little black men behind the elected man, the technocrats who buy democracies and then chop them off, his boss Peter Thiel and Co.
What a complete piece of shit. Blood on his hands.
the consequences of the loss of rural hospitals will hit suddenly-- the dark ages are upon us.
Horrendous what is happening at CDC with the loss of so many scientists and the rise of the dark ages, fear of science and the vaccines. This will affect health for all of us, sooner than later.
Amazing news out of Iowa tonight! Letâs GO! More: www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...
FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.
What monstrous lawlessness, done confidently and with nonchalance.
Thanks for this. You are right. This is a marathon, and a complex situation.
What I am seeing is a bland headline about Kilmar Garcia "he was detained." The story is urgent and shows the complete lawless-ness of this regime, that seems reported as a normal event. Did you see it differently?
haha, excellent headlines for tomorrow's idiot papers. We can place bets, and you would win
I want people to recall photos like these of the turnout (and politely waiting crowds) at the #ZcavengerHunt next time some fear mongering far-right goon claims NYC is overrun by crime.
loving this so much!
will the democratic party stand up, please, so we can see you in the chaos?
- Appreciate Newsom Fighting Fire w/ Fire - Appreciate Pritzker Standing Up for Texas Dems - Appreciate Mamdani Bringing Fresh Hope to the Party - Appreciate AOC and Bernie Taking On the Oligarchs We need ALL of these voices now! Let's worry about 2028 after we secure OUR VOTE and DEMOCRACY.

This is great: a National Guardsman standing up to say every member of the National Guard and military "is legally obliged to disobey an illegal order."
you know better than anyone that Putin will steamroll Europe soon if he is not stopped. And yet, these talks, and these measures, and these words, are just froth. You all know it, and Putin knows it too, and mocks you. If Europe wanted to come together and stop Putin it could have already done it.
thanks!
When were we here before? The Civil war, McCarthyism, Civil Rights Movement?
This was my favorite Newsom troll of the weekâI laughed out loud when I got to "MAKE AMERICA PREGNANT AGAIN."
I would love it if all of us said "It's Trump's fault" every day, again and again until it becomes law.
AND YES, we need more people to step up now.
Adam, I love this post so much. Courage is at the heart of everything we must do now.
Garcia: So this release today is meant to distract from the broader question of why Pam Bondi and Donald Trump refused to release the full Epstein files.
Ah the fear of risk in the future.... when the worst is happening already because of GOP. Why canât we hold two ideas at once: 1) that Newsom can break through the stalled, cowed Democratic resistance, and 2) that we donât have to elect him in 2028?
Name one democrat who is challenging the regime publicly, has momentum and knows how to use the media in their favor, and I will set my sights on them. (not crockett, aoc, nicole collier who barely get coverage)
â"This brutal detention center was burning a hole in the fabric of life that supports our most iconic wetland and a whole host of endangered species, from majestic Florida panthers to wizened wood storks. The judge's order came just in time to stop it all from unravelingââ
love love, love her spirit and moves (and her jeans are great!! đ)

Wasn't Target's anti-woke-ism what got them broke? Why is Target on the list of this lunatic?
"The only way they can win is if they cheat." While state lawmakers bent the knee and pushed through Trump's gerrymandered maps in the Texas House, we spoke with Texans about what it means to them. Here's what they said.
Hey sister! See how quickly support changes when someone is not *perfectly* aligned with you? I find attacks on trans people, immigrants, women or people of color disgusting. Gavin is a rascal full of himself. I DO support his ACTIONS on behalf of our democracy, AND I dislike him as a person.
OK lets wait to find the perfect person to lead the fight. Let's not support those who are making strides in the fight against fascism because they are morally wrong in so many ways.
THESE headlines next to each other on CNBC: 1. Trump half-billion-dollar civil fraud fine overturned by New York appeals court 2. Trump official signals DOJ will investigate Fed Governor Cook (for fraud) The one forgiven proven fraud is pursuing someone for made up fraud charges? The irony
"In Luttigâs view, the court under Roberts is âacquiescing in and accommodating the presidentâs lawlessness. And it is doing so without briefing, without argument, without deliberation â and without even a single word of explanation of its decisions.â
And I hope that we remember, and never ever allow main media to be trusted. I do not care that individual journalists have to keep their jobs.
Thank you. I understand that we all carry a lot of pain these days and try to be patient. But you are right!
never!
please do keep up The quote: "has been suspended from all VOLUNTEER campaign-related activities." Any journalist knows why the campaign is throwing Winnie under the bus. My first post put suspended in quotation marks. You either need glasses or a better temper.
I happen to know it, too..The word i used "suspended" is a fact, as described in the paper you said you read. Why fight with me, then? From your profile, you seem a good man, standing up for what is right, a defender of justice in Ukraine. This good reason to excuse your fucking bad manners.
www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/20/w...
Personal to you?? Do you want to fight The City on their reporting? âWe are shocked by these reports,â Shapiro said. âWinnie Grecco [sic] holds no position in this campaign and has been suspended from all VOLUNTEER campaign-related activities. Mayor Adams had no prior knowledge of this matter"?
Adams immediately claimed the highest moral ground and "suspended" Greco. Because Adams has always been the most ethical person.
Wow, individual Americans are now fighting Putin's war and we give them medals.
lets not forget or forgive, when this is over.
That is a very bad take on Newsom part, but do we need to admire all those who fight for democracy? Can we at least let them fight for it when most democrats do nothing? This is not an either-or situation.
shame on you Olivia.
Cursing is good for anger.
Q: What do you make of people like Greg Abbott, who has said that California is the problem, not Texas⌠Newsom: Shockingly delusional. Look in the mirror, sir. Youâre the one who initiated this. You coward. You couldnât stand up to Donald Trump.
NEW VIDEO: President Donald Trump announced he will issue a new executive order to get rid of mail-in voting and to control the counting of ballots in 2026. This is not a political stunt. It is an existential threat to democracy. I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6K4...
âHarvard has to understand, the last thing I want to do is hurt them,â trump added. âTheyâre hurting themselves. Theyâre fighting.â
"Critics called it extortion" NYT as always very kind to extortionists
Finland's Stubb was the exception to the countries you mentioned. Finland knows the dangers Russia poses.
Out with Susan Collins. She did enough harm.
Go Boston!!
WAS THAT SO HARD???? cc: @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com @nbcnews.com
2026. Hope he loses his seat.
You said this: "under current law, the president does have authority to nationalize DC's local police under certain conditions" You shameful man, pretending to be a Democrat. It's because of people like you that we lose,you traitor. You do not deserve to represent the proud people of Maine. Resign.
I am encouraged by Alexander Stubbâs presence at the WH today. Finland understands much better than any of the other Europeans present the danger that Russia poses in Europe.
Europe could use frozen putin assets to help Ukraine. It's been considered, they worry about setting a "precedent." Poland, Finland, Baltic countries are in danger. I have seen my grandparents' generation dealing with the aftermath of Yalta, where parts of Europe were chopped off and sold to Stalin
I read your news earlier today--a knife in the heart. Zelenskyy is caught between these "diplomatic" Europeans each focused on their situation at home (even as I think they know what an unleashed putin will do to Europe) and trump, who does what putin asks. What a horrible place to be for a warrior.
Yes, you are right, providing info is an essential point.
Support for Ukraine ceased when trump came to power a second time. Nothing new. I am hoping (in despair) that Europe has a plan. The fact that they all came shows they know that with putin encouraged, Europe is in a dangerously vulnerable place.
Rutte is horrid.
GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.
Mad-as-hell, yes!
The worst thing is that little marco knows that a putin win in Europe will affect the US and pretends it doesn't. Little marco knows that Europe is moving away from the US, and preparing to increase their own military power (finally). So, yes, this political shift will affect everyone in the US.
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp whatâs going on here?
Go Newsom!
Lovely people and sound of freedom
Very much like the present moment
"It's shocking to see a manâsomeoneâs family member, someoneâs friend, someoneâs neighborâbeing brutalized by agents who are fully aware theyâre being watched and recorded? Yes. And I hope it remains shocking. There can be no day when this is normal."
Lead like Mamdani. He is not elected yet, but electrifies people with hope, and opposes the powers to be both in words and action. He is fearless.
corrupt as well
Is Jeffries an idiot, or is this a strategy to delay right action because he is a coward who takes kickbacks?
That is true.
yes to every word
You use words to hide, to not act on what is right. Resign.
well said!
I loathe most of the right, AND I find your arguments re Jeffries very compelling. He is not doing the work he was elected to do. I despise his hypocrisy. He should go.
Not taking kickbacks will be really hard for Jeffries.
Jeffries is a little man of little vision. So disappointing. Mamdani has done more to lift spirits in a few months than Jeffries will ever do. Ever.
"In Alaska, Trump reaches his personal Ultima Thula, the limits of his own personal world of magical talk.He faces a very simple issue: will Putin accept an unconditional ceasefire or not?"
Adams, the crook and the clown-- does not even realize how ridiculous he is.
So much hope and joy when I know that Mamdani is in this world.
This is why open records laws matter: almost $300,000 spent on just the vehicles alone for the above rap video. bsky.app/profile/boyc...
yes, absolutely and we need fighters now.
Go to the matresses, Newsom. Well done!!
bravo Newsom. Not my favorite person so far, but damn, somebody better start the fight for democracy.
I am grateful that Arwa Mardawi listened so we don't have to vomit hearing how Miller tries to make the monstruous mundane. Anti-woke Miller is only anti-human.
I root for KAT! I saw her interview with Jen Psaki, and I am delighted to have courageous leaders like her (and Zohran M) who are NOT afraid to fight so that the regular person has the right to live. Funny how paranoid people worry when a candidate is visible and whine when she is not. GO KAT!!
