Every post, every announcement - even holiday greetings- is a war.
Or the AI added a sixth finger.
We talked to @kenbensinger.bsky.social about influencers replacing journalists at the White House. Yes, it’s awful that Trump won’t grant serious reporters the honor of getting lied to at press briefings. But the decimation of FOIA — a source of facts, not spin — is even more concerning.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
NEW: In the dead of night, the Trump admin ripped vulnerable kids from their beds, attempting to return them to danger in Guatemala. We’re heartened the Court prevented this injustice. We’ll keep fighting to protect our plaintiffs & all class members until the effort is enjoined permanently.
The power of the people…Monday ✊
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."
See y’all Monday ✊
See y’all Monday ✊

Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration, resigned Friday — days after filing a whistleblower complaint alleging DOGE employees had uploaded a copy of the entire country's Social Security information to a "vulnerable cloud environment”
I noticed this the other day on my phone too. Freaking crazy depressing.
We get it. Kept a list of the court wins. Look at it when you need a lift. We the people are fighting back. See you Monday.
We protest monthly in all 50 states. (Many more local protests in between). Join us and pass this on.
It’s nice to see what you’re doing make it into the press and to a wider audience. Thank you
When my story in Rolling Stone published, my count of Coast Guard flights for ICE was in the 260s. Six days later, it's over 300. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Gavin Newsom Has Given JD Vance A Nickname, And He Kinda Nailed It🤭😅😂🤣
Do you think you’re helping by further weakening our Fourth Estate? I really don’t understand people wasting time attacking everything good - journalists, D reps, the D party - while a tyrant sits in the WH firing, suing, breaking, beating, caging and killing people.
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
Rev #AlSharpton: “I invited all the candidates for mayor here today…let’s welcome Andrew Cuomo… Oh he’s not here. (Laughs) Let’s welcome Eric Adams… Oh he’s not here. (Bigger laughs) Let’s welcome Zohran Mamdani…” (ZM appears, big cheers) #MarchonWallStreet #EconomicJustice
We all gotta remember and summon JFK’s words rn… “Ask not…”

Proud to be here with civil rights, labor and community groups to march on Wall Street!

Ukraine has received its first batch of 30 NATO-grade FC.K electronic warfare systems, developed by First Contact in partnership with Germany’s GSMK. Mounted on Kozak armored vehicles, these mobile units are designed to jam Russian drone signals and disrupt control, video, and telemetry links.

2/For this reason, we reject notification Dr. Monarez has received as legally deficient and she remains as CDC Director. We have notified the White House Counsel of our position."
Here we go with the third party attack tact. 🙄

I’m betting Trump will collect this info too.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
Don’t sell your intestinal tract short!

Critical thinking is hard in Russia. I get it.
Inadvertent admissions are super fun 😎
You should lie down. You need to rest.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.

Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act - eat your heart out! 😏🙄 CDC’s new COO, Lynda Chapman, brings minimal public health experience, loyalty to Trump, and a side hustle selling photos of Trump & other GOP figures. Thanks @jeremyfaust.bsky.social for bringing this to light.
You’d know mr hammer and sickle
Ooo, projection. Now we know.
They are actually killing it: they are working w their AGs and suing daily to stop the incessant, massive defundings, deportations, reg rollbacks, healthcare cuts, food inflation, medical research stoppages, /1
Love it when I shut down a coven of trolls 😘
Stop fighting the party fighting fascism.
Says the corpse stalking me.
Oh cmon you’re so used to it under your leader. 😘
Troll. 👋
But you look so convincing.
You’re not critical. If you were the call a rep you’re unhappy with. You’re undermining the Democratic Party. Which tells me you’re a troll. 👋
So here’s how this works: we as constituents call our reps when we’re unhappy with a vote or a bill. Feel free to do so as it’s your civic duty. But way above and beyond is the maga hell Trump is raining down on the country. Pick a side, or you’re doing Trumps work for him.
They did. Read the Mueller report.
Try READING. “Newsom signed bills requiring insurance coverage of in vitro fertilization for LGBTQ+ and prohibiting bans of books with LGBTQ+ content. But he vetoed legislation that would have expedited the process to license out-of-state physicians.” Oh also: calmatters.org/newsletter/t....
Maybe the one not beating, kidnapping, and caging humans? Tough call right.
I guess you enjoy concentration camps.
No. He is not. He is the biggest Trans supporter. The trolls are in overdrive bc Newsom is doing so well. Follow legislation news about CA. You will see. All blue states follow his lead.
As you wish bsky.app/profile/sfor...
And they’re on social & tv 24/8 holding pressers, alerting & updating us. All this while they have zero power bc we voted the other guys in both chambers and presidency. So it’s really now up to us. Let’s freaking get to work on elections. Phone bank, door knock, postcard…and thank our reps.
They fly to red states and stand in for MIA Republican reps at town halls. They flee their states to stop gerrymandering. But when gerrymandering passes, they step up and counter it. They protest with us, claw our funding back, and stop illegal deportations. /4
They are filibustering night and day while we sleep. They are holding Capitol sit-ins while we work. They go after DOGE, and witness the tampering & corruption. They hold those in power responsible in hearings. /3
affordable healthcare end, disease spread, disaster relief disapearance, public and private education slaughtering, militarization of our diverse cities, and free speech attacks…to name a few biggies. 95% of those cases have won. /2

Who?
Troll 👆 They are trying to divide and weaken Democrats before midterms. Newsom is the biggest Trans supporter. This has all been Trump, and red state Govs.
All day long.
I’ll say it again: Stop fighting the party fighting tyranny. If you’re a troll, we will know in 5 minutes.
This is a lie and you’re either a troll or not following legit news.
It was one. And he is the biggest trans law writer and supporter. He was discussing trans re sports.
These are trolls. There’s whole farms of them attacking Dems to weaken and divide. It’s all they’ve got left.
Read some history.
Gavin Newsom “We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings. And the GOP will continue to do absolutely nothing while our kids are being gunned down. This is sick.”
Stop fighting the party fighting fascism.
Not it is not. Not one report. Perhaps you’re reading opinions. Pls know the difference between journalism and opinion pieces. Also you cannot speak to people like this.
News flash, every company is owned by rich since Day 1. Doesn’t mean our journalists aren’t KICKING *SS Who’s you’re boss? Does he lean maga? Should we punish you?
NEW: A federal court again ruled the Trump administration violated the terms of our family separation settlement and must take specific steps to remedy it by ensuring that families hurt by this cruel policy can access the services they need.
ICE agents begin to speak out. “those interviewed by Reuters backed immigration enforcement in principle. But they criticized the administration's push for high daily arrest quotas that have led to detention of thousands of individuals with no criminal record, (1/2)

But??
It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.
Dogg is done.
And the free market fell.
Our reps, AGs, lawyers, courts, government workers, & reporters are exhausted. We must support them. Or we will lose them, quickly followed by our country. It has always been up to us. Thank & support them, bc, in the most simplest terms: divided we fall. Thank you for remaining active. END
…with a particular action of a local rep, call them. That’s what constituents are there for. Just do not blanketly attack the party, the Fourth Estate, or the judiciary. That only hurts the country. If you must criticize, be specific. And be mindful that social media feeds on negativity. /11
claw our funding back, & stop illegal deportations. And they’re on social & tv 24/8 holding pressers, alerting and updating us. They are killing it. Now I’m not saying our reps, courts or journalists are perfect. They are human. And there are complexities within actions. If you’re not happy… /10
and witness the tampering & corruption. They hold those in power responsible in hearings. They fly to red states and stand in for MIA Republican reps at town halls. They flee their states to stop gerrymandering. But when gerrymandering passes, they step up and counter it. They protest with us, /9
public and private education slaughtering, militarization of our diverse cities, and free speech attacks…to name a few biggies (see my uplifting pinned post). They are filibustering night and day while we sleep. They are holding Capitol sit-ins while we work. They go after DOGE, /8
Regarding our Democratic representatives: they are working w their AGs and suing daily to stop the incessant, massive defundings, deportations, reg rollbacks, healthcare cuts, food inflation, medical research stoppages, affordable healthcare end, disease spread, disaster relief disapearance, /7
In fact, we should be thanking our reps, our AGs, our lawyers, our judges, our courts, our agency workers, our non-profits, our journalists. For they are the decent leaders/representatives left. They are us. They are fighting Tryanny with every breath they have. /6
And it knows no bounds. That is person Trump. And that agenda is MAGA. Democrats have zero to do with this poison. So for the love of God we must… *Stop fighting the party fighting fascism* Please pass this on to your family and friends. /5
Democrats have stood overwhelmingly against it. It’s why we voted for them; we must not forget that. Throughout world history fascism is introduced by a single person, a narcissistic megalomaniac -given leadership by a minority of voters- who forces his evil agenda on anyone “other”. /4
…has clearly not been following their D reps. Boring as it sounds, keep a daily eye on CSPAN.) When fascism rolls into a country, it does so quietly and slowly. Responses to it say everything. And the responses we’ve seen in the last 10 years have absolutely not been a both sides thing. /3
I see posts making fun of “strongly worded letters.” (Anyone who knows government knows this is how it works.) I see posts attacking Democrats’ ages. (As if we didn’t learn from our loss by denigrating Biden’s age.) I see people posting they expect more from D reps. (Anyone saying this… 2/
The Good Guys 🧵: I’d like to discuss the “both parties are broken” issue. It’s bullsh*t. Worse, I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is. In the last 8 months this country has gone through utter insanity. Yet…there has been a lot of anger pointed toward Democrats. /1
Husband of detained wife after talking with ICE agent: “I knew that I was no longer dealing with humans.” Hard to believe that anyone who *is* human can read this account of the abduction of a *legal US resident* and not be furious. www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...
