incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

💥 Lily Franklin just hit one out of the park for clean energy investment and lower bills! ⚡️ We’re proud to have supported her campaign.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does. Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

"Sick and tired ... of Trump" Seniors outside Wingate Assisted Living organized their own #NoKings protest on Blackstone Boulevard in Providence.

Continuing the theme of small #NoKings protests: here's one at the summit of Mt Monadnock

Thank Trump for more expensive power, sacrificing American industry to China, and fucking up the climate so that all of our families will face disasters like the Texas floods in the decades to come. www.cnn.com/2025/07/16/c...

Trump just hit a new all-time low of -11 (among adults) in our approval average. He's underwater on pretty much every issue, and in all the swing states. Underwater in Ohio, and nearly negative in Texas and Florida. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

***EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT*** Attorney General Peter Neronha now has 15 lawsuits pending against Trump's illegal executive actions. Will they stand up in court and protect our economy, our health, and our future? Find out on Sunday, May 18 in Providence! Note: registration required.

Mind-blowing levels of corruption, exceeding anything in US histroy. This crime should bring down not just Trump, but every single Republican who props his crime spree up. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

“Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know?” —Trump the "populist" explaining the impact of his demented economic plan

"A U.S. citizen child suffering from a rare form of metastatic cancer was deported without medication or the ability to consult with their treating physicians–despite ICE being notified in advance of the child’s urgent medical needs." FUCK TRUMP, FUCK ALL MAGA TO HELL www.aclu.org/press-releas...

A hard, fast fail entirely self-inflicted, but that we regular citizens of the world will be paying for for decades.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Dems finally hired someone that knows how to reply 🤣💀

If you read one thing today read this new essay from @timothysnyder.bsky.social: "State Terror: A Brief Guide For Americans" Previous generations of Americans fought Soviet and Nazi terror. Trump's team has decided to emulate it. snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far. They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

Seems like this would be a big deal for the Sincere Enemies of Anti-Semitism

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

“We, the Jews, are being used to advance a political agenda that will cause grave harm to the social fabric, and to the institutions that are best suited to protect Jews and all minorities. We are being used. Our pain, our trauma, is being exploited to advance the goal of a white Christian nation.”

Why we are already living in a literal dictatorship where US citizens have lost their basic constitutional rights: open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Hands Off Providence!

Don't blame the renewable energy industry for RI's electricity prices. We are the most addicted to volatile, imported methane gas for power compared to any other state. www.providencejournal.com/story/opinio...

Saturday's march/rally will be big. Don't arrive unprepared.

me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’

We are now living under the Trump/Musk dictatorship, in which “the law becomes a tool to harm enemies, but not to bind those who govern. That is a quite different constitutional order from the one that we’ve had for a long time.” I want my fucking democracy back.

Explosive interview with Fabian Schmidt's attorney. What a horror show the MAGA ghouls are making of our once proud country. open.substack.com/pub/steveahl...

The Trump crime machine is failing, flailing, spreading chaos, ruining our reputation, and destroying the basis of our safety and prosperity.

I talked to a voter in Pennsylvania who said he was for Trump because Musk and Trump were for free speech

Putin is repeatedly humiliating Trump. Not sure why Rs aren’t rallying around their guy.

Will no one put a stop to this ungodly suicidal rampage? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/c...

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Why can't every Democrat talk like RI Attorney General @peterfneronha.bsky.social? Step up to the moment!

It’s time. Click below for details on our Hands Off event We are ambitious here. Let’s get 20k people out. That’s 2% of the state. We can do it. That means share, knock doors, text and call your friends in RI. Time to put FEET in the STREET. Cc: @indivisible.org mobilize.us/s/yLOK8f

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Trump's presidency is crashing and burning.

For the democrats saying “we can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you. Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

I don't take a back seat to anyone on the subject of anti-semitism. Jews are being used here as a fig leaf to advance a broader attack on universities and higher learning. Trump wants to bring Universities to heel and obedience. Jews are just a convenient cudgel here and just as disposable.
