What is going on here?
RECENT SCOTUS RULINGS ARE A REMINDER OF HOW IMPORTANT JUDGES ARE. 📣 #Pennsylvania has 3 Dem State Supreme Court Justices up for retention this fall. Help keep them on the bench! There's also seats up in #WI & #NC next year. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/state...
Seven was the total iQ points agreed upon as the consensus.
Is it time to take "real estate investment trusts, asset managers, private equity firms & publicly listed companies" out of housing? "a process by which multi-family apartments are turned into products for investors by financial firms" They double eviction rates. 1/2 www.thestar.com/real-estate/...
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
It's amazing when you listen to the list like this. What amazes me most is the fact that he's still in office. Unfuckingreal. #USDemocracy
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
republicans are a farce. a joke, with serious consequences. wake-up America
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Against every single republican for everything that has cost, from their 10 yr disruption factory.
The American public must bring a class-action lawsuit against RFK jr immediately.
As a veteran, F-ck that traitor! And F- everyone who decided to desecrate this nation by giving that traitor ANY honor at all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ashli-...
Nearly 50 residents spoke out in favor of the city taking action to protect the painted displays, which are on streets not owned by the state:
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”
Wait until Bernard finds out, she's just prepping him for a prostate procedure.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Let's say a Democratic president had absolutely no respect for congress, a coequal branch, appropriating funds, tariff policy. Let's say that a Democrat was deploying the National Guard to cities controlled by Republicans.
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
WASTE! FRAUD! ABUSE! Send the $400 million bill to Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump. 🚨Alligator Alcatraz will be empty within days, according to an email obtained by ABC News.
One of the many wrongs, we will right, when Duty, Honor, Law & Order return with us.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity. There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar. Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.

This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
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.
In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Not only does KKKLeavitt love spewing lies, but she likes insult to reporters for doing their job, right...😯😏😡👇🏾
UPDATE: The fist batch of results have the GOP candidate leading 54% to 46%. This is over 53K votes already; roughly 59K were cast in the June primary, so I wouldn't expect a ton more—this is looking like a GOP hold.
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...
One of the reasons we've won on abortion rights in Colorado for fifteen years, defeated everything thrown at us, and put abortion rights in the Colorado Constitution in 2024, is because we ignored the soulless bros in DC and listened to Colorado voters. You lead by leading - and winning.

Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
NPR: “A whistleblower says a former senior DOGE official now at the Social Security Administration copied the Social Security numbers, names & birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud lacking adequate security...” www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
Jeanine Pirro seems to have pissed off this judge "We don't just charge people criminally and then say, 'Oops, my bad,'" [Judge Faruqui] said. "I'm at a loss how the U.S. Attorney's Office thought this was an appropriate charge in any court, let alone the federal court." www.npr.org/2025/08/26/g...
They sure are silent all these days, but then the organized religions were Nazi Germany's buddies, so, no one should be shocked here.
Best you can get is a "give me five" but that's like, **REALLY** good.

BREAKING: "The Trump administration is reinstating a long-dormant practice of conducting "neighborhood checks" to vet immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship, expanding its efforts to aggressively scrutinize immigration applications, according to a government memo obtained by CBS News."
The Democrats have cleverly marked all the special, smart water taps, "non-potable". Smart water shouldn't be for elites. It's free, and it's your right to drink it. Our founding fathers made sure it was in the Constitution, and the Dems tried to take it out. ULTRA MAGA forever!
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
That too, but I was thinking more along the lines of getting the secret drone club going.
Texas's shameless gerrymander. There are six districts (10, 11, 17, 21, 27, 31) newly shaped to deny the Austin metro area- 2 million people!- representation in DC.
kill or be killed is survival strategy
🚨 Savannah, GA! 🚨This officer must be made famous for his brute strength in being able to slam a man to the ground while the opposition is in handcuffed. 1/2
the calm before the rope
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
“Transparent”
I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
hmmm...I think Argentina has come up before with the whole Nazi thing....hmmm...yeah, several times... www.bbc.com/news/article...

He looks every bit a chicken-fucker.
oh, you know it. “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "Mr President, I invite you see your big beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor because you are really the transformational president of the American worker, along with the American flag and President Roosevelt."
JFC...fuck all these people with a red hot poker.
That's one of the many penalties for trying a coup. Don't play-around with a viper.
Deterrent. Hard labor, paying their immense debt to society. SCOTUS dismantled, start over, w/term limits for every single office. All Democrat picks, & no more than ONE should be an olive leaf (fiscally conservative centrist at-most).
The DoJ staff should be ruthless. The Democrat US AG should have an Apollo program-level of resources and support. It's going to cost, but nothing like what it costs allowing republicans to continue. Punishment should be unrelenting. Life in fed prison (if not harsher).
Brow-beat fascism into its hole. If it doesn't go willingly, force it.
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
Totally Cereus here...I heard this one talking in the bar the other night about how global climate change is a hoax, how it's fake news, and now look...Mr. "It'll never affect me" is blooming out of sequence. Uh huh. Uh huh.
🚨🚨🚨 This. More of this.
They'll go for a big shiny juicy-looking eyeball too, so, be happy your pizza countermeasure worked this time.

When he’s dead, yes, I said it… When he’s dead, Maga will be as reviled as Nazi.
Support your children. Accept them the perfect way they are. Love unconditionally. It matters and means so much. Pride is about being proud. 🥰🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
🚨BREAKING: 3rd Circuit REJECTS RNC motion to pause ruling requiring Pennsylvania counties to count undated/wrongly dated ballots. This means counties cannot reject undated and wrongly dated ballots while the case continues on appeal. Congrats to our clients DSCC and DCCC!
...about time gang.
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."
They are no kin to honor.
The treasonous republican party has but one direction to go here. This will be their final push. They will react to this "State's Rights" violation, and the State will be made the enemy here. State's rights, family, religion, children, freedom, patriotism, education? Nope. Republicans want power.
BREAKING: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just announced he refuses to authorize National Guard deployment in Maryland. 🧵
This is what dictators sound like
U.S.A., please realize, they aren't here *for your benefit, they are here in-spite of reality. In spite of you. A U.S. Citizen no longer matters to our government. Republicans have never hid this. Many intelligent, well-informed people have spoken for decades on republicans aiming for today.
If you don't feel it, you need to learn more.
May America be this brave, and resolute.
8/24/25💡Independence Day, Kharkiv, ignoring constant danger for one evening of singing🙏🇺🇦🙏
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
A marble column is my go-to. The sound it makes when it hesitates that fraction of a second before slapping flat against the marble floor, is my kind of ASMR.
