Mockler: My entire life, Republicans have been targeting minority group after minority group. Conservatives have been getting rich and gaining power off of this, but the second that certain Maga commentators are now the subject of this exact type of bigotry, they have a moral clarity about it.

It's a sad state of affairs when we KNOW the GOP majority will not be holding #Trump accountable. We'll have to wait until after the midterm election to see if Dems are up to the task. Imagine the damage he'll do in '26. #Impeachment

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

Our review of 700+ videos of the Portland protests shows a wide gap between the reality on the ground and the characterizations by Trump, Fox News and DHS, which said its office in the city was under “coordinated assault by violent groups.” By @robwdavis.bsky.social and Steve Suo

Good morning to these future governors!

HAVE YOU VOTED YET? 🇺🇸

we needed all of this. it’s why i rail on doomers and tell them doing that shit is literal voter suppression. defeatism begets defeatism. momentum fucking matters to keep people engaged.

This is real life: as thousands of federal workers are going unpaid, a ballroom is being built in the White House and the president wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million. Even Marie Antoinette would find that to be a bit much.

Corporations are lining up to fund Trump’s supersized ballroom. They’re not donating out of patriotism, they’re buying access. And everyone should see the problem with that. Pay-to-play in plain sight.

The people of flight 93 gave their lives to stop terrorists from destroying the White House.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald. I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

Please watch this. It is so very beautiful…. So grateful for this angel that walked out earth for a brief moment …

Yesterday, we filed a lawsuit challenging Trump’s illegal federalization of the National Guard. This morning, we filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to block the federalization from going into effect. We’ll keep sharing updates as things progress.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

New from me.👇 Republicans only know raw power. They will only stop their escalation of attacks on elections if they pay a costly price. Now is the time for the gloves to come off. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Something I am thinking a lot about is the risk posed by the large concentration of pro-democracy media on Substack. On the one hand, it facilitates those outlets growth, which is important. On the other, it’s clear their investors are looking to maximize money and an eventual exit.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Congress voted to claw back federal funding to public media. Some of those hit hardest include community radio stations in areas that voted for the president.

After the war is eventually won, at enormous costs, we have to work on continuous protection against fascism. The lessons will have to be learned this time. Fighting fascism is not a one time job, it is a daily task. Fascism is by far the biggest threat to mankind and it have to be fought.

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

In the coming months, he will roast and seethe, broiling in the heated comparison between how loved Colbert is and how unloved he is. Bloating and blistering in jealousy he can no longer contain, those ankles don’t stand a chance. May they be this Achilles’ Heel. He is the heel of all heels.

Comedians are a comfort and he can’t silence all of us. The ridicule must go deeper. Bruise and swell him from the inside. Thicken those ankles until they burst.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

I bet they were...👇
