Maybe Democrats need to go back for their inspirational music if that’s what it takes. OHIO and many others. We have a rich history of protests and we stand on the shoulders of the generations who’ve come before us.

Amen.
Let's cut to the chase. Those who know history will recall Hitler's #EnablingAct of 1933 allowing his government to enact laws without the consent of the Reichstag. it's the cornerstone of Hitler's dictatorship. And here we are. Trump bypasses Congress, waves a wand, things happen & they're all bad.
The Israeli holocaust, supported by Trump.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
A baby watching a butterfly doesn't ask questions. He marvels. That's all. Lao Tsu said: "One must become as a newborn again." *Wu Wei* is the art of being present without projection. We look to analyze, understand and possess; but the child merely looks and finds beauty, peace and joy. (1/3)
Think carefully. Who's that standing in the wings? Vance and Johnson. Vance rises to POTUS and names Johnson his VP. What could possibly go wrong? I dream of a Trump impeachment that results in a guilty verdict and a public humiliations for the Trump Party.
Well, next comes the playground equipment. You know they have to think about their training and credentials brought them to this. The Commander in Chief order "look busy" work under the Law of Holes philosophy.
Trump living up to one of his best lies. He only hires the best people. Imagine the rejected resume pile. Kennedy's another ass over elbows Trump lackey.
It Can Be Done
Maybe she’s got a grounds keeper job lined up at her local cemetery.
That’s your campaign against this monster.
Jesus he’s mental. They do have safe medications for those suffering from delusional of grandeur. That and therapy could go a long way.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Governor Tim Walz is making calls to legislators and has his team planning for a potential special session on gun legislation, a senior administration official says.
The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.
How many read this manifesto when it was made public? Can’t say we weren’t warned. I read it and knew where it would lead.
Too bad we didn’t have a functional government that tracks, monitors and distributes data and vaccines. You know, competent public health policies.
Waste, fraud and abuse? Trump’s minions wins top marks for thinking of ways to spend money foolishly. Then again, look at who leads this team of misfits.
Maybe it’s who you read.
Now this breaks my heart. There will be a time that the world will not be as stained but it’s going to take a lot of work. I truly think so even if there are dark moments in my sights.
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
Heck, the blood on their hands can never be washed away. The GOP has voted for genocide here at home and around the world.
No,he’s too busy setting himself up to be crowned the next President. Trump should watch his back if Vance if standing behind him.
How did a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery hand absolute power over to Hitler, someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following?
Bluesky now the platform of choice for scientists and other non-fascists.
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
"While Trump may want to be a king, it is still up to us, as Americans, whether we treat him like one..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/o...
Applause!
A great many Democrats in leadership are eerily silent. They wear their shame with impunity.
It’s the don’t blame me follow the leader excuse.
So it proves Tillis does not need a brain and wouldn’t know how to use it if he did.
And who bears responsibility for that Mr. Roberts?
Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is eroding like we've rarely seen. Maybe he should've thought of that before ruling the president is above the law. You don't get to burn the house down and act shocked it's on fire.
My heart breaks for children. What right have we to deny them safety because America has a 2nd Amendment fetish?
It's frightening looking at the lineup of #TraitorTrump 's cabinet. I don't think there's a competent person in there and from every evidence so far they're out to destroy common sense & equality, subjugate women, vilify people of color and lie about everything under the sun.
No thoughts & prayers. Ban guns except for for cops & military. Highly regulate guns for hunting or sport. Limit gun ownership and require license requirements. Ban concealed carry. Just fucking grow up.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
I know what you feel but I also know that it’s one foot in front of the other and one voice joined with many. You’re not alone.
Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr called for a Danish paper finding no link between aluminium in vaccines and disease to be retracted. "Secretary Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will." www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I’m with the late great Molly Ivins:
Rubio looks like he's waiting to be embalmed.
A demonstration of valuable tax dollars in military training and readiness.
Looks like we can add a few hundred lines to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire".
Another concentration camp in the making.
Until GOP leadership steps up to criticize Trump he’s going to keep growing more brazen. If they wait for him to have his appetites satisfied they’ll be disappointed. Meanwhile Vance plans his move to power.
Neo nazis are given a green light for their inexcusable behaviors and detestable ideology. On of the 8 yr anniversary of the deadly Charlotte racist rally, one of its organizers tweeted that his beliefs are now the White House policy. It’s time to stop this madness and make those guys afraid again
Well then Mark, lead the way buddy.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Absolutely and pigs fly
Correction Miami Herald = no cutesy names. Its a concentration camp.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
To anyone professing to be a member of the media or journalist stop making cute with America’s concentration camps. Alligator Alcatraz or Cornhusker Clink are concentration camps. Call them what they are and we’ll wear the guilt for years to come.
Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!
Just read a piece from CNN that the crosswalk near the Pulse nightclub has been painted over on DOT orders to remove political and social statements. A memorial to the souls lost is a tender way to remind us to be kind to one another. Why do conservatives fear so much? Remember BLM in DC?

NC folk, please call your Senators and Reps. We know Rep Ross is doing all she can. Let her know you appreciate her efforts. She cares.
Because what’s in there is probably blood curdling and would shift the mood of many in the MAGA/Project 2025 camp. Would the GOP be willing to stomach and then support their golden calf?
When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.
They deserve a warm thank you for their dedication.
And that’s the remit to support communities not divide them.
Yes, we're the ones who stand up for ourselves, who asked questions who don't let the world walk over us just because we don't have dicks.
So true. I think people become complacent. Then they become dissatisfied and that’s when the rot sets in. Diligence is the key but it’s hard to compete with the newest pet rock trends. Showing my age, sorry.
I hope that by repeating these messages people will be inspired. I sometimes play a mind game wondering how many of the MAGA fanatics will slither back under their rocks when this infestation passes.
Sound familiar? If it doesn't you haven't been paying attention
Can't help it but every time I hear about Drs. Or or Phil my mind jumps to Oprah's favorite things. Somehow they slid by her vetting process.
In case anyone's confused, yes, slavery was bad.
He's getting something out of it.
This has always been the way to deal with bullies.
This is what it takes. Bless them.
"People rallied with the doctors, calling for medical professionals to be allowed inside..." www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...
BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Mississippi’s Supreme Court district lines must be redrawn to ensure Black people in the state don't have their voting power diluted.
This woman is as delusional as her boss. Texas illegally holds a rep but Trump and his cronies roam free. How is this possible? Oh yeah, voters who are proud to not use logic and reason.
NC voters take a minute to check your Fed & Sate rep web sites. See what they’re working on. Ask questions, what they’re doing to reign in Trump, opinions on Epstein, Ukraine, Putin suggesting how we vote, military on streets, ICE raids, cost of groceries. You get the idea.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
The man is delusional. We all see and acknowledge it except for his supporters.
These are concentration camps. It can’t be sanitized by calling them detention centers. That’s what my teachers do to unruly kids as a time out.
I miss my home state every day. Yep, we’re quirky New Englanders but we’re damned good folk.
Thank you to those following me back. I look to others for insight and hope. We will look back on these dark days to keep plugging along for our kids and theirs.
Yes, but we do have some Democrats in Congress that will compose strongly worded letters. Please remind them that we expect more. Our democracy deserves better as do all those souls before us who sacrificed much to pass the baton to us.
Zelenskyy is a study in class. He’s coming to DC because he puts his country’s interests first. I’m glad other European leaders are showing solidarity. They know what appeasement looks like as well as a dictator. They remember history. Trump & Co ignore history and that never ends well.
European leaders said on Sunday that they would join President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine when he meets with President Trump on Monday at the White House, as they strive to show solidarity against Russia and avoid being sidelined in peace talks. nyti.ms/45EPC7S
And here we are.
A message for the most “transparent Administration” in history: Release the Epstein files.
USAID funded roughly half the world’s supply of ready-to-use therapeutic food. The dismantling of the agency has disrupted the global supply chain that provides the packets, leaving thousands of malnourished children at risk of dying.
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
Idiots. They feel immune until they cross him. Yet again, there seems to be no limit to their adoration of our homegrown Mussolini.
I suppose he and others support prima nocta. Perhaps he can offer his wife and daughters up as homage to his king.
“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.
We’d rather be led by a KGB agent than a woman and because of that we have military in our streets, vaccination in shambles, a tanking economy, and a child rapist golfing on our dime. Call your reps: 202-224-3121 If you think it is pointless, then Putin won bigger than he expected. #RemoveTrump
Democrats can do something about the Trump regime’s weaponization of federal power. Another government funding deadline is coming up — and Democrats must take a stand by opposing any Republican budget that allows Trump’s chaos and lawlessness to continue unchecked: indivisible.org/campaign/car...
I’d love to meet those that approve! What kind of people are they? I guess they’ll ride or die with Trump. Epstein raped kids. There’s no approval anywhere in that.
Historians are going to think this era is an SNL special.
Bet the GOP won’t say a word.
#NeverForgetTheEpsteinFiles
He spends $200 MILLION of your💰on a ballroom and his family doesn’t deny making billions off his presidency. As you cheer for him caging brown ice cream men & kids, he invades DC to cover a child sex trafficking ring and trashes the constitution to cling to power. He laughs.
