This is more coherent than the Trump speech at the U.N., honestly.

Seeing @matthewboedy.bsky.social post about a speaker in the UK talking about the victimhood of Christians is a good reminder that this type of rhetoric and language is extremely dangerous. I grew up with it, and I've seen what it does. interminablerambling.medium.com/the-dangers-...

Helpful that they're admitting the systems are racist, though. I'm counting this as a "win."

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Donald Trump is a senile old codger, standing before the United Nations, reading a speech clearly written by an alt right lunatic and a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists. Well done, U.S. voters. You really fucked this one up.

This is the most pathetic human to ever taint the White House with his presence.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows Trump to fire a Federal Trade Commission member — breaking nearly a century of precedent.

A trial is beginning this week that will determine whether Amazon tricked customers into signing up for Prime, then made it extremely difficult to cancel the service.

BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order claiming to designate Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” — even though it isn’t an organization at all. This order comes as Trump weaponizes recent violent events as pretext to target left-wing movements and groups. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social

American Samoans can do just about anything else U.S. citizens can, except vote. But election officials in a remote Alaskan village didn’t know that, leading to a mistake that cost one American Samoan mother five years in prison.

SCOTUS greenlit Trump’s dismissal of the last Democratic member on the Federal Trade Commission, and said it would hear arguments later this year on whether it should overturn a 90-year ruling that protects independent agencies from White House influence. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Washington Post vs Democracy Docket If you want independent, pro-democracy media that you can trust to never bow down and never obey, subscribe today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

It is sadly clear that the legacy media is unwilling to stand up to Trump and is capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Should TikTok go the way of Truth Social, where janky ads are interlaced with state media-like announcements, or other billionaire takeovers that have transformed popular social media platforms into antisemitic AI hellholes, the outlook for TikTok is grim.

Spent some time shadowing Greg Casar (and Dolores Huerta!) during the redistricting fight. His predicament embodied the party's: a rising generation of leaders, caught between a defiant old guard and an opposition willing to change the rules to stop them www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Let's be clear: No other scientific or public health body agrees with Trump's autism conclusions. But they conveniently line up with RFK Jr.'s attacks on the pharmaceutical industry. They also appear to take inspiration from a long string of bonkers wellness myths.

Congressmember @velazquez.house.gov has introduced a bill in Congress that would bar immigration agents from wearing facial coverings during enforcement actions. "This administration is out of control, and it's affecting everyone."

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social was thrown to the ground by ICE agents during a Chicago protest. “That is what these officers are willing to do when there is press and cameras around," she says, adding that they are "committing human rights abuses" inside.

America is officially a fascist country now, per executive order.

This is absolutely the right thing to do. Payment late? Stop working until you’re paid. “Oh but the book will miss its deadlines—“ aw that’s too bad, but if the release date is such a priority I’m sure Accounts will have no problems wiring over my money this afternoon

RIP. I won’t shut up about TFTM if you let me and he’s the scribe of that work and much more. Screened it for pals on my birthday last year.

Release the Epstein files! Despite the distractions - no matter how horrible, they are DISTRACTIONS. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!

People convince themselves they’ll be immune to the crackdown. But the truth of hate campaigns is this: no one is safe. Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

Power & ultimate control. Canceling late-night shows. Silencing the press. Threats of war against U.S. cities. Using force against peaceful protesters & journalists. Now, Trump is demanding Bondi prosecute his political opponent.

While Kimmel’s suspension has been lifted there are several abc affiliates who will not be airing his show. The fight’s not done

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow. Never doubt the power of collective action.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

In her first interview since losing last year, Harris calls Trump "a tyrant who is using the federal government to execute his whim and fancy because of a fragile ego" and faults law firms, media companies and others for "capitulation." @maddow.msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

BREAKING: Progressive Democrat Xp Lee has won a landslide victory in the Minnesota House special election, securing 61.82% of the vote against MAGA candidate Ruth Bittner, who received 39.11%. Lee will replace Melissa Hortman, who was tragically killed by a MAGA assassin in June.

Kimmel is back! Ted Cruz says Trump went too far! That’s it! Trumpism is crumbling! Turns out stopping fascism was so easy I don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner! (It isn’t. We haven’t. Celebrate victories; don’t tell yourself fairytales.)

What Lies Buried Beneath Our Feet in Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle’s “Even As We Breathe” A few weeks ago, I reread Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle’s debut novel Even As I Breathe for class. When I initially read the novel back in 2023, I found it engaging and important, but I did not really get into it…

Hey yall. Please repost and donate if you can. I'm in dire need.

Kimmel represents a whole bunch of folks…. And I’m tired of searching for work . I’m tired of people telling folks “it’s connected” It is and if you believe that move and help us with the same power Black women have been getting hosed since 2020 . When is it the time
