We need representation by people who’ve had student loans. Who’ve been deluged by medical bills, owned used cars or relied on public transportation. Who’ve actually shopped in a grocery store. Who’ve tried to sign up or help someone sign up for government services. People that don’t own stock.

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.” Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people… He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. —Declaration of Independence, 1776

In town near me, a 13 yo was abducted by ICE and sent to a facility in Virginia. He is sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum sheet for a blanket, and is being held with adults. He calls his mother crying. I can’t imagine how traumatized this child is. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Pretending every huge peaceful protest is worse than January 6th while also pretending January 6th never happened.

For Concord Tourism Manager Beth Williams, the federal government shutdown couldn’t come at a worse time — peak tourism season at Minute Man National Historical Park.

Omg. I’ve never seen anything like this in a judicial opinion:

A dozen dudes cosplaying soldiers to catch one little guy on a bike. And they can’t, thankfully. The level of disproportionate force is breathtaking. Bunch of fascist cowards.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

If we partner US TikTok with the IRS can we at least get direct file back?

Medicaid work requirements are just bad. But, as I wrote for @motherjones.com, there’s an extra level of vileness going on with them being implemented as more work-from-home jobs disappear. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump's explosion of rage last night over ABC's reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't be greeted with fear and weepy hand-wringing. It should be seen as a sign that his authoritarian designs are running into very deep resistance and that he's weak and losing on many fronts.

Things today's White House autism announcement did not do: -Discuss strategies to increase supports and services for autistic people/families -Highlight why autistic people and families deserve respect, not pity or fear -Endorse one speck of autism research that is not dangerous pseudoscience

As a mother of a child with Autism let me just say “fuck you” to all those involved in that embarrassing and insulting press conference. What a colossal and insulting waste of time.

This is worth your time haha youtu.be/7vRX-BQAjeE

These people are so out of their league and an embarrassment. That meeting was a shit show.

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

Fantastic news!

Setting aside the illegality of this and the fact that the grant was already awarded, 2022 was 4 years ago. Blue cities should be spending their goddamn federal dollars a little quicker, particularly right now. bsky.app/profile/yona...

If we got the money out of politics maybe all these grifters and wannabe famous people would go away and we’d be left with actual capable, intelligent, and thoughtful public servants.

Honestly, it’s really easy: If you don’t want people calling you a “fascist” stop trying to do fascist things.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

News of late has real “thousands and thousands of people were cheering” 9/11 vibes.

One of my daughter’s friends just complained that her parents are going to make her pay $5k towards her Ivy League tuition each year and my kid just went full proletariat at the lunch table and made her cry. 🫠

This photo out of South Korea today. Oof. (Photo: Yonhap | The Korea Times)

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence. www.wcpo.com/us-news/crim...

UPDATE: At least three people are in critical conditions after being wounded in a shooting near Evergreen High School, officials said Wednesday. Officials said they were responding to an “active assailant” near the Jefferson County school. coloradosun.com/2025/09/10/e...

We really have too many guns.

The Washington Post opinion piece by RFK & McMahon is one of the most vile things I’ve read on kids and mental health. That it was penned by two deeply unqualified government officials charged with overseeing health & education is a stain on this country and will hurt those that need help the most.

Nothing is more quintessentially Boston than publicly humiliating billionaire failsons. VOTE TODAY

The Department of Homeland Security has threatened to prosecute journalists or citizens filming and posting videos of ICE agents as they disappear immigrants as an act of “violence.” Here's the story, co-published with @exposedbycmd.bsky.social. prospect.org/justice/2025...

I've seen photos from verified ICE sightings today in Lynn and the cars include Subarus and Nissans, all with Massachusetts plates. This reinforces that they are using rentals to try and blend in. A reminder that you should call LUCE immediately if you suspect ICE may be in the area: 617-370-5023

Sure, let's do this.

Of course. It’s always the mother.

this story about what Seal Team 6 did in North Korea is making me so angry aha they murdered civilians for no reason and punctured their lungs so the bodies would sink while Americans sit on their asses saying look how bad Trump is it's just like North Korea

Caroline Kennedy warned us about her cousin #RFKJr, "a predator" presiding over "perverse scenes" of "despair and violence." His youth was the origin story of a new American Psycho. Now he is the position to inflict pain and suffering on millions. He has to go now. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
