They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
It's truly pitiful that the United States couldn't uphold the law like Brazil did.
Surprise, Surprise. 🤑
Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.
This you? Just two hours later?
Truly anyone not seeing kirk for exactly what he was, a fucking racist, fascist, misogynist total hater, then they are the problem. Which we're seeing in real time!
Everyone should be held to the same standards.
Listen to Alexandra Flores-Quilty, Campaign Director for @fsfp.bsky.social give 19 (& growing) reasons why Trump be impeached and removed from office. Her #CupOfJoe is so full of truth a spoon would stand straight up in it!
Sadly, the mass shooting at that school today is going to get swallowed up by the death of a man who had no sympathy for them.
The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...
“At New Hope McAllen, one young girl was so scared that she vomited … At Urban Strategies Alamo, one young teenager was scared that he might end up murdered like one of his family members … None of these children’s parents in their home country had requested their return.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayer went on a talk show circuit to discuss what's happening today. Her words: Democracy will not survive unless the people in it understand, they are the agents of law. #ProudBlue Video credit: ABCNewsLive on IG
A must read.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.
And @govpritzker.illinois.gov said this: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Trump's threat against Chicago can't be both fake news and common sense. Common sense tells us he's either lying or clueless about what his comms puts out. Common sense tells us that if he can't even control his comms, he shouldn't be trusted to control the White House.
This part.
Still trying to understand the Hyundai ICE raid. Supposedly a months-long investigation that... picked up people here on visas, permanent residents, and U.S. citizens? I also haven't seen anyone charged under 8 USC §1324a for hiring undocumented employees. 🤔 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...
This. Watch. 🔥
🚨 A powerful, painful, and beautiful lesson is taught by this Native American elder in 2 and a half minutes. Rise up! ✊🏼
Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet. 🧵
My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!
The president gets to harm as many Americans as he wants defying whatever laws he pleases and our job is to be nice to him and make sure everyone agrees he's cool. Not sure what you people don't understand about that.
I have yet to hear of every day Americans being outraged about the government’s war on the homeless. The homeless are a convenient group of people to loathe and ignore. #DisabledRage
@hwinkler4real.bsky.social Just saw this again. Loved the show and your character. The best TV ever! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI1H...
Donald Trump was so committed to keeping his cover as an FBI informant he repeatedly raped young girls to convince Jeffrey Epstein that Donald was a fellow pedophile and not working for law enforcement. trt.global/world/articl...
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?
On Thursday, September 4, 2025, Homeland Security abducted 470 innocent people at a Hyundai factory in Georgia. That’s thousands of children who will wait for their parents to come home but never will. Families are being torn apart by this regime and it’s unforgivable.
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
Am I the only person who thinks this is INSANE?
"The short answer is fear." @rweingarten.bsky.social explains that the movement to ban books, censor curricula & stop the teaching of honest history stems from a fear of knowledge and pluralism. When people can think critically and have agency, it threatens authoritarian rule.
what the fucking fuck
Soybeans are collapsing because China isn’t buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing. Maybe farmers will wake up
"Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors – and for survivors. No one else is involved. ...Because history is watching – and so are the women who will come after us." Epstein survivor
🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."
“.. Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)” (via @yarotrof.bsky.social)
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
I love this guy
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.

A brilliant post from Prof Timothy Snyder for Labor Day. A snippet: "The death that Trump and Vance prefer, and cause, and need is indirect and passive-aggressive: by destroying government functionality, the generate unnecessary suffering, which they then blame on migrants and African Americans."
Bush removed any civics training! Young people do not know how our government is supposed to work! We used to roll play government branches and had to use Roberts rules of order and voting to pass laws and amendments, not just read about it! Bush removed all of that to focus on 4 Rs
As good of a takedown as I have ever seen.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.

Right? SO DESPICABLE! When and where are all the drug lords, murderers and rapists getting swooped up by ICE? Straight up racist profiling for dollars and maga hatred. Frigging exhausting. America has become a world pariah.

DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
@LizShuler.bsky.social nailed it. Trump’s policies are leaving us poorer, sicker, and worse off. We need to shape a country where all of us have opportunities and pathways to a better life. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Federal agents detained crews and arrested firefighters battling the Washington state wildfire!! Reasons for the arrests remain unclear after federal agents detained members of a private contractor crew during an ID check during the Bear Gulch Fire. This is dangerous to the public’s safety!!

"We can't give up" I felt it appropriate to have a member of the clergy represented, speaking the truth.

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."
This is an insane, psychopathic take. There IS phase 5 starvation in Gaza. This is a reality. Israel has engineered a deliberate famine by blocking humanitarian aid. The question is why are we still supporting it and how do we all stop it?
The President of Portugal said that Trump is a Russian asset “He functions as an asset,” Rebelo de Sousa calmly explained his reasoning.
The US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has suspended a number of staff who criticised the agency's direction under US President Donald Trump. Imagine suspending experts and technocrats who WANT people to be properly served in cases of catastrophic emergencies. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Antisemitism is being spread on both the right & the left. We need to stand strong against hate, no matter where it comes from. Hate is poison. Hate is violence. Give haters weapons & it's a combustible combination that leads to loss of life. Prayers for the families affected & prayers for love!
Surely Americans can sue the government in a class action suit for banning the Covid vaccine? For those vulnerable to infection, lack of the vaccine that would protect them is (potentially) grievous bodily harm and depraved heart murder.
Shades of North Korea. "Donald Trump claimed all-encompassing powers for himself during a marathon cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Cabinet officials took turns praising the president, who also took questions from reporters in a meeting that lasted three hours and 17 minutes."
Imagine an opposition party that could produce daily downloadable info sheets for dissemination that helped people understand who is to blame for their problems.
Bessent on Lisa Cook: "What we haven't heard from Ms. Cook is we haven't heard her say 'I didn't do it.' She just keeps saying the president can't remove her." (The allegations haven't been investigated yet.)
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Do read this underlying story if you are in the right mental space to do so.
An affront to the Constitution and everything it stands for. We should impeach him for treason, convict him for treason, and the impose whatever penalty the founders of this country would deem fit for traitors
Bankrupt them.
History's worst tyrants established "special" military units to supress civilian opponents - and all justified it on the basis of asserting "law and order". Trump National Guard deployments and inevitable domestic US Military deployments are a textbook example of this tyrannical authoritarianism.
And the Republicans STILL support DOGE Let's see what happens when they have family members who are victimized by identity theft
Can we call it fascism yet?
I can not stress to you how globally humiliating this statement by Trump is for the United States. His complete lack of understanding of, not just the basics of this issue but the extreme political ramifications of it, is a problem. This will not be shrugged off.
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.
A mother cries out for her son who is in school while ICE arrests her outside of an immigration court after attending her hearing in San Antonio, Texas. Her only concern is for her child. This is happening all over America. This is not what safety or justice looks like.

He didn't just invoke MLK's "arc of the moral universe" line. He added that the arc won't bend itself and people need to step up to make that change happen. Absolutely right. Pitch perfect.

This is how the Trump administration keeps kids “safe” The Cottonwood School of Civics and Science was located next to an ICE facility And the agents there used so much noxious munitions against protesters it became a safety hazard-so the school had to move Surreal newrepublic.com/post/199451/...

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers. I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
