It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

We’re all paying for AI usage, even when it’s “free”.

Let's also not forget that when Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress in 2021, she was worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later, worth around $25,000,000. Donald Trump isn't the only person using a political office to make money. #Corruption

Shovel by shovel, the Democratic party is digging its own grave. While, no, both parties aren’t the same, they’ve both failed the American people. The GOP through greed and malice and the Dems through ineptitude (and also greed). 😔

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This is mass murder on a scale we haven't seen in generations. Trump did this. Musk did this. The SCOTUS that allowed these cuts to congressionally mandated programs and an acquiescent GOP did this. It's sickening. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Jeeeezus. There is no circle of hell hot enough for Elon Musk, Trump and everyone else involved in gutting life-saving government programs. Just sickening.

This illustrates a point I think people are underestimating dramatically. Many (probably most) Democrats are still using X to an extent without fully appreciating the danger. Some thoughts follow.

It would be fun to assemble some low info GOP voters (easy), tell them Biden or Obama did some of the things Trump has been doing and ask “Should he have been impeached for that?” After they say “Yes” go “Oh I’m sorry, that was actually Trump” and watch the mental gymnastics that ensue.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

What is this crap? So tired of these fundraising texts. There seems to be an endless supply of these organizations, no matter how many times you STOP or block.

I’m on a long weekend getaway but I’m still going to a local #NoKings rally and march today. It’s so important that I’m protesting on my vacation! 💪🏼 🚫🤴🏼

just go to the protests take whatever precautions you personally feel comfortable with but these are massive, joyful events, go and have fun

If you’re able and you feel safe doing so (bring a friend!) I encourage you to attend a #NoKings protest this weekend. You don’t need a sign or anything, just show up and be peaceful. We’re teetering on the precipice. People are being grabbed off the streets by masked agents. The time is NOW!

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Join ICE today cmon

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood. I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

A banana ball game would never go 15 innings and 4 and half hours. It’s clearly the superior sport!

It seems increasingly likely that Trump is suffering from dementia and diminished capacity and his inner circle is either showing him fake videos or something that happened long ago (or far away). That he’s being manipulated and someone else is pulling the strings and acting as President #25thnow

Man, I love Portland! 🐸

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Still looking…

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said. Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%. Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

"In short, the first step to winning an election is making it about what you can win on. Strategic campaigns begin with the question: How do I force the issues and conversations that most benefit my side to the fore?"

We have allowed sociopaths and psychopaths to create a society in which only they can thrive.

Me trying to find all the “states’ rights” conservatives as federal agents and troops invade American cities against the will of the state and local governments.

Release the jobs report. And while you’re at it, release the Epstein files.

ABC (local) News: Chicago hit new record high for summer hotel occupancy. Fox “News” (probably): Chicago is a war zone! It’s on fire! It’s a dying city!

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

I hope Justice finds Stephen Miller in his lifetime. He is the worst of America. He found in Trump an easily manipulated megalomaniac and has been using him as the instrument of Miller’s nationalism and hate. As Trump’s cognitive decline deepens, so does Miller’s control. Oh and he’s a fascist.

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...

We need to abolish the Department of Homeland Security. It was created as a knee jerk (over) reaction to 9/11 and was always ripe for weaponization in the service of nationalism and racism. Let’s repeal the Patriot Act while we’re at it. We can keep our country safe without them.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Good luck. Bondi’s only real job is to provide cover for Trump & his other cronies and using the federal government to harass and persecute his personal and political opponents (real and perceived).

This is what unity looks like.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Kat is still out there fighting four hours after this. I'm just fucking livid.

Happy Monday! When are those Epstein files going to be released?

People are saying that Brian Kilmeade of Fox News has killed a homeless person. Big, if true!
