🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN down new South Dakota law imposing a nine-month deadline to file ballot measures declaring it unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Congrats to Dakotans for Health and their legal team! www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-...
Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?
Happening NOW! Thousands of protesters gathered in DC, right now at 14th and UNW, to protest against Trump's takeover of DC
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Let us pray! 🙏
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
California stepping up.
Cato Institute found that ICE has booked 204,297 people, of whom 65% (~133,687 people) had NO criminal convictions. Among detainees with convictions, 93% had no violent convictions. YOU might be their next target, especially if you are a person of color.
Trump is boldly opting out of the U.N.’s human rights review—the first time any member has ever refused. Critics slam it as a shameful dodge, proving the U.S. prefers skipping accountability to actually practicing human rights.
Science is real
Ennui shared this. I am thankful for science.
Republicans are doing everything & anything they can think of to make it more difficult to vote, attempting to control results of midterms. Americans need to make Republicans efforts, blow up in their faces on Election Day! 🗳️Vote All Republicans Out!🗳️
You first.
Now @thebulwark.com say that control of the Senate is in play in 2026. youtu.be/2zKGb4n_G8Y
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has called for a special Senate committee hearing on the CDC crisis, demanding that RFK Jr. testify under oath about the disaster he’s created.
And I don't mind.
The Republican Party did this!
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Current, continuous mood:
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
CDC Dir. Susan Monarez had 2 lines she could not cross: she wd not do anything illegal, & she would not do anything that ran counter to the science. RFK Jr asked her to do both- remove CDC leaders without cause, & endorse recommendations that did not represent the best science So he fired her
RFK should be arrested for all the deaths he is causing
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
He meant to say a lot of people in the maga cult .
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...
Republicans are disgusting!
🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
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.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
not going away......
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
No lies told here.
Republicans had a choice: expose child s*x traffickers or protect Trump. They chose Trump. They chose traffickers. They are the party of child s*x trafficking.
💯
Trump cannot do the same to other cities. DC is part of the federal government. Other cities are not. He would be limited in what he can do.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
🎶
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Wearing masks as an official working with the public should be illegal
This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
And here we go. As I previously stated, around 90% of what this regime does is not lawful. This is our governor and others in Washington State . . . *STANDING UP* to their unlawful Attorney General. @king5seattle.bsky.social [35 minutes] www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxEI...
If the courts hadn't forced Trump to obey the law I wrote demanding transparency in federal spending, we wouldn't know this is happening. Trump wanted to keep Americans in the dark, but it didn't work. Now we need to fight this with all we've got.
Right now on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social.. the Truth! Nice to see! @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social The State of Washington concedes their mail in ballad system suffers .00005 fraud rate! The majority of those found to be something like 'voter forgot to sign' ect. So Donny......f*ck off about ending 📬!
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
That is the actions of a terrorist group.
"Trump’s nominee for BLS chair, E.J. Antoni, has not only called for other agencies to “take a chainsaw” to the bureau he might lead, but he also was photographed at the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. For a role that demands respect for process, these should be disqualifying."
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
On #NationalAviationDay, just a reminder that Trump appears in the Epstein flight logs multiple times.
In case anyone's confused, yes, slavery was bad.
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
We are strongly opposing a proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule that would strip the agency of its ability to regulate greenhouse gases — a move that is dangerous, anti-science, and part of the Christian nationalist Project 2025 agenda. ffrf.us/3JlqKKR
Political attacks against transgender persons are harmful and discriminatory. They harm the physical and mental health of transgender people, and they make it more difficult for them to live their lives openly and authentically.
24 hours and counting.
Not!
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.
Whitewashing history.
Trump is a bad joke
The choice by European leaders to stand with Zelensky at the White House wasn’t just symbolic — it was brilliant diplomacy. Historic. That’s what unity for democracy looks like.
🇫🇷🇺🇦
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
👇👇
Release the ...
BREAKING: Zelensky issues blunt demand — “Russia must end this war. It started it, and it must stop it.”
After the meeting in Alaska about an imminent peace, last night and this morning, Putin: ◾️ attacked a residential building in Kharkiv, killing 7 people (including two children) and injuring 23. The number of victims may rise, as there are still people under the rubble;
Excellent Truisms!👇
The war is apparently Zelensky’s fault. Tomorrow is going to be another shit show.
ICE is a terrorist organization.
We are not slipping into fascism. We are there. What the actual ever loving fuck?
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Let's go. This is it. We need to wake up. We cannot survive if he rigs not just Texas, but he goes to Indiana, goes to Missouri, goes to Ohio, goes to Florida. We have to have other governors of like mind, and there are many, to now do something, not just say something."
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
Bless these Alaskans!
Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.
What is happening now is a pressure test for democracy. The U.S. Voting Rights Act is under attack across the country. It must be defended and protected. This isn’t just a partisan fight. It’s an existential threat to democracy. #fightthetrumptakeover
Just when I thought I couldn't loathe Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) any more, I watch HBO's "Surviving Ohio State" and realize I was wrong. What a despicable person, laughing off the molestation of young men in his care.
I’ve had my complaints with Newsom over the years, but he’s handling this moment exactly right. And Ted Cruz is throwing an absolute fit about California redistricting. 🤣🤣🤣
Gavin Newsom mocks Trump, confirms he’s redrawing congressional maps
Protesters are flooding DC streets to demand two things: that the National Guard be recalled and that the Epstein files be released. We stand with you, DC. Lawmakers, where are YOU? It's your job to stop this. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
If he flies with one, dines with one and parties with one for years, he’s probably one himself.
Fanone: There’s absolutely no legitimate justification for the way that many of these agents are behaving and the military-style show of force. If we ever do right this ship, this organization has lost all credibility. I would hope we would completely abolish ICE.
She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.
😂😂😂😂
🚨The CMS WISeR rule is an assault on Medicare. Dr. Oz has been salivating to PRIVATIZE Traditional Medicare for years and now he may get his chance. We must ALL speak up! Adding unnecessary prior authorizations will delay and deny care. Please read.⬇️ healthcareuncovered.substack.com/p/cms-is-try...
Another one.
Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military. Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.
But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Israel has killed nearly 270 journalists and media workers since it launched its war on Gaza.
