Donald Trump is pressuring Republicans to restrict mail-in voting for everybody else — while he’s sitting at home voting by mail himself? He's literally urging Republicans to withhold TSA agent’s paychecks until they pass his voter suppression bill — the so-called “SAVE America Act”.

Saturday is already set to be the biggest No Kings Day yet — and like the last two, we’re expecting a massive increase in interest this week. Chip in if you can to help us vet new events, provide safety and security trainings and support protests around the nation: secure.actblue.com/donate/nokin...

HANDS OFF: 1300 events NO KINGS 1: 2100 events NO KINGS 2: 2700 events NO KINGS 3: 3000 events and counting Let’s make history. Again.

On March 17th, a House Committee voted in favor of H.R. 7661, a book banning bill using a vague definition of “sexually oriented” materials. Tell your Representative to oppose H.R. 7661 and support the right to read: https://app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-page?cid=KOQDC08atRCJ0J1U6j3C5&lang=en

Alright Texas! Early voting has officially started. It’s time to show this nation exactly what Texas is made of. Make a voting plan—get to the polls and make your voices heard.

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

Well played. #Davos

Trump in Davos, Switzerland: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German". German is the main language of Switzerland.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power”. 
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

I must point out that the consensus position of Greenlanders is not "we are content with Denmark," it is "we are trying to build up and diversify our economy so that we can become an independent country at soonest possible opportunity." Notably, of course, neither of these positions involves America

#HandsOffGreenland protests in Denmark and Greenland!

I'm dying at this fucking article title. "[Dripping flop sweat] Epstein files? Sounds cringe and gay. Sounds real bad. You guys, who even cares"

Wanda Sykes was the best part of the Golden Globes tonight. After this, she thanked Ricky Gervais "for not being here" and then proceeded to act "on his behalf" and thank the trans community. She was not pulling punches, she hates these fuckers and didn't hide it.

Good climate news this week 1 UK: 2025 sees 1st full year without any coal power since 1882 2 Europe: EU carbon border levy comes into force 3 UK: Renewables made up 47% of electricity supplies in 2025, a record 4 China: Action plan unveiled to promote green consumption THREAD

The Epstein files ARE SO BAD that Trump has… Bombed Nigeria Bombed Venezuela Kidnapped a head of state Threatened Greenland Threatened Iran Backed Russia All in the last few weeks.

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Happy New Year! Today marks the start of Mayor Mamdani's new administration and a new City Council term. To protect New Yorkers in 2026, the Mayor and the NY City Council must work together to strengthen our democracy against authoritarian threats + work to make NYC safe and affordable for all:

“He has led people ever since he could, I think, so it doesn’t seem like out of the blue, it seems very much in the river of things,” Mr. Mamdani’s mother, the film director Mira Nair, said after the brief ceremony. “But this was unimaginable, but I think quite beautiful.”

On behalf of everyone in The Resistance movement following the massive EPSTEIN coverup, I want to wish all my fellow Radical Left Scum the happiest of holidays!- ♥️, Mar🐫

Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni reacts to Donald Trump's latest post about Jeffrey Epstein: "Every accusation is a confession. Cheers. 🥂"

As we ponder why #60Minutes decided to tinker with this story, it’s worth reminding people who Bari Weiss, the new Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, is and what her real agenda is. John Oliver did a deep dive recently: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Prime deciding to cancel Leverage: Redemption... THE show about stealing from the rich. Absolutely not. #SaveLeverage #canceled #prime

Dems have won or overperformed 226 out of 254 key & special elections in 2025, nearly 90%! Last night Ds flipped Miami’s mayorship electing its 1st D mayor in almost 30 yrs & 1st female mayor, Eileen Higgins! In Georgia, D Eric Gisler flipped a 22-point R state house seat overcoming R’s gerrymander!

A Democrat hasn’t been elected Mayor of Miami in nearly 30 years. VP Harris beat Trump in Miami by just one point last year. Tonight, Eileen Higgins became the first Democrat to win in three decades and won by 19 points. This is a very, very bad sign for the GOP.

We have a broken healthcare system that must be fixed, but the solution in the short-term isn't to deny people the ACA tax credits that they rely on. We must extend the subsidies so people aren't kicked off their healthcare next month, *and* we need Medicare for All.

I remember when Jasmine Crockett walked out of the TX legislature to protect voting rights & deny a quorum, over 4 years ago, so you’re gonna need a more convincing argument than James being one of the people to do it recently when she became a House Rep after* this. 19thnews.org/2021/06/texa...

Jasmine Crockett: “If the numbers are strong that I am our best shot, then it’s bigger than my district — It’s bigger than the state of Texas — This is about the country because we know if we can change the Senate map in this country, then that’s where we start to get wins”

Jasmine Crockett didn’t just launch a #Senate run — she lit a match under Trump’s fragile ego. The ad is sharp, fearless, and pure Texas energy. If the GOP wants to play insult politics, she’s showing up bilingual in that language. Texas hasn’t felt this electric in years. Sen. Crocket? Yeah!

Halle Berry I was unfamiliar with your game

ICYMI - Halle Berry is all out of f*cks "Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women… by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either."

NEWS: Libraries WIN in federal court! A judge in RI issued a permanent injunction stopping the Administration from dismantling the Institute of Museum & Library Services and nullifying all actions taken to do so. Read the ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... (More to come from ALA)

2025 has been a year unlike anything we've seen in the US. In the second Trump administration, attacks on journalists are no longer sporadic. They're systematic. This #GivingTuesday, consider donating to support freedom of the press, so we can keep on fighting: freedom.press/donate
