Can you share this? This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for US Senate against Susan Collins. We need to take back the Senate and have a real majority. Don’t forget Maine has ranked voting. We need great Democrats running. Don’t let her forget about Kavanaugh or Roe.
Anyone who participates in what appears in context to be a proposed military occupation of Chicago “because crime” will be doing something that is illegal and is obligated not to do that. That’s all I’ll say.
It’s corruption, plain and simple.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Wes Moore is NOT playing: I am the Commander in Chief of the National Guard. I will not authorize the Maryland National Guard to be activated. THIS is how you fight back.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defies President Trump by leading a "no troops in Chicago!"
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.
Worm-brain RFK Jr. blames America's mass shootings on antidepressants. The top users of antidepressants are Iceland, Portugal, the U.K., and Sweden, which have fewer mass shootings in their entire combined histories than the US has in the AVERAGE YEAR. It's the GUNS!!!
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
He does not want to go to the White House basement ever again. Need to have lots, lots of protection WHEN the people decide to "tour" the White House.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Congratulations, Mike! Helluva job you're doing for your state of Louisiana!! You've made it in the Top 10 of virtually all socioeconomic categories! Like your next President of the United States, Gavin Newsom, says, "WAKE UP" Louisiana! #VoteThemAllOut

Texas voters, Texas removed 100k voters from the voter rolls. Please spread the word and check your registration and re-register if necessary. thehill.com/homenews/484...
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.

School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
Lifelong Republican, and legislative staffer, Ryan Davenport, speaks out against Trump’s Texas redistricting scheme. ‘We can’t vote for Republicans anymore because you abuse every ounce of power you are given and the only option we have left is to join the Democrats….’ Boom 💥

So well said! Thank you, Chef Andres!!!
go.bsky.app/PffWgvZ voting access is one of the issues of rural voters. If you don’t have mail in voting, you will keep many from having access to voting. Oregon when I lived there had only mail in voting. It is secure. You need to sign the envelope and mail in. Follow and fight.
A good short list, I'd add Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.

On Women's Equality Day, we recognize the progress we've made and the work that remains to be done in the pursuit of genuine equality. Know that you'll always have a champion in me as your governor, even as forces in DC work to undo that hard-earned progress.
Peter Thiel, Musk, Stephen Miller, and Russell Vought realize their King is sick and dying. This is why they're ramping up towards a dictatorship. To ensure their groomed boy toy, JD Vance, has all the power to do their bidding.
Celebrity chef and D.C. icon José Andrés pushed back on Trump’s propaganda in a post on X, writing: “I understand why you are confused… all your time in D.C. you haven’t eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel.

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
So the guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize and claims to end wars wants to call the DoD the War Department? Mmmkay.
Stephan King had a great response to this crap. (Paraphrasing) 'Hey kids if they ban it, those are the ones you should read'
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.

From time to time I come across a personal story about life in Trump’s America that’s so powerful that I want to share it with you. This is an op-ed titled "My Family Lives in the Shadow of the American Dream." I encourage you to read it. robertreich.substack.com/p/life-in-th...

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
Who would’ve thought Americans wouldn’t want to live in a military state? Oh that’s right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners

This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
Are we sure the USA owns those shares or will he claim them later?
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.

BREAKING: We're filing a petition for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who is being detained by ICE because of his reporting on law enforcement activity. The First Amendment is clear: Journalists cannot be detained for doing their jobs.

So when we sing "America the Beautiful", we're singing about the continent?
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.
Why is Putin speaking through the United States president?

Medicare for All? “Socialism!” Social Security? “Socialism!” Free college? “Socialism!” Universal childcare? “Socialism!” But a $1 trillion tax break for the top 1%… “That’s just normal.”
Interesting point, I had not realized this.
I feel like it's time for this reminder:
Please read.....
Absolutely! This is not normal.
Good Question!
