Trump insists on keeping national parks open during the shutdown, which might be nice for Americans who had a trip booked, but is proving to be just another way this administration is crushing the National Parks Service. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: trib.al/X60ycfk

Cops are gonna cop…

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Of course he did!! 🤬 SCOTUS is salivating to get that case.

How would $50M change your life? You'd have more than enough for yourself, your family, for generations. If you taxed Elon Musk at 99.99%, so he only controlled .01% of the wealth he currently controls—he'd still have $50M. No one needs or earns $500B. Abolish billionaires. Save democracy. Period.

Just a reminder -- anyone who was paying attention could see all of this coming, from miles away Re-posting what I wrote in MAY 2024, or 17 months ago

Stochastic terrorism.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Ohhhh not staying the order is *really interesting*. The tidal shift we're seeing in the past two or three weeks in how much judges are *completely done* with the presumption of regularity and refusing to play Calvinball is fascinating

Pretty much. And so much of the invasions are also meant to distract from releasing the #EpsteinFiles

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Great work @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social We need more of these caravans all across the country!! Have a look @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @jesscraven101.bsky.social @mikiesherrill.bsky.social @kim.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Most journalism this week has been like, "Legal experts unsure whether Trump shooting man in middle of 5th Avenue is murder..."

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Mike Johnson is keeping the House in recess not just next week but the week after that as well. Sure, the shutdown has something to do with it. But, also, he doesn't have to confirm Adelita Grijalva as long as the House is not in session which delays voting on releasing the Epstein files.

apparently driving around tossing gas out of their cars is just their thing now.

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

This is how every elected official in America should be leading by example. This is the courage we need. If you care about our constitutional rights, then show up for us. Otherwise, step aside and let leaders lead. Let’s go. #Courage2025

100% The police in my tiny town of 5000 people has a full SWAT team and gear. For what?!

Thugs.

The cruelty is the point. Always has been, always will be.

LET’S GO @mikiesherrill.bsky.social !!

Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Should we really believe a word he says about the government shutdown?

EPSTEIN FILES: @aoc.bsky.social explains why Republicans won’t bring the U.S. House back into session 👇

The future of our state is at stake. NJ needs a governor who'll prioritize our safety, our economy, and our families. Mikie Sherrill has the plan and the courage to get it done. She'll invest in our schools, our transportation system, and our communities! #VoteNJ

The Trump administration's attacks on Gateway Tunnel funding are an attack on New Jersey's economy, commuters, and nearly 100,000 jobs. And still, Jack refuses to stand up to Donald Trump.

Pete Hegseth is like a little kid playing at being SecDef. It's offensive and it undermines our national security.

Pope Leo, "Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhumane treatment of immigrants, they're not pro life"

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Trump lied about Project 2025. He lied over and over, and yet the legacy media refused to cover it.

Loving it: @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com starts his show with, “The New York Times is lost.” OMG PREACH!! Thank God this wise and honorable man always speaks truth to power. His opening section should be mandatory listening for *every single* journalist and pundit working today. @lastword.msnbc.com

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

straight up child murder www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

This is straight up co-dependent/abuser language. This entire regime is staffed top to bottom with the most sadistic "don't make me hit you" "now look what you made me do" assholes on the planet.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans lost their minds over Burisma and a $10k check to pay off a truck loan. But sure,,,nothing to see here.

Timeline cleanse: Rosie the Wheatie enjoying a slice of pepper. Sound up for the cronching. #dogsofBluesky #wheatenterrier #timelineckeanse

The next time Mike Johnson lies that he hasn’t seen the latest Trump screwup that the rest of the nation is discussing, the TV anchor should just quietly say “that’s ok, not everyone follows politics.”

This is horrifying. This is tyranny and fascism. It is what the regime wants to do in blue cities across the country. Those poor people!!
