It’s a new month! Love to think it’s filled with love and new opportunities! Enjoy my friends! Remember Minnesota. @gaspatient.bsky.social @itistherealjas.bsky.social @reallyfasmiller.bsky.social @climateelf.bsky.social @callmemare.bsky.social @dutchannie.bsky.social

FBI seizing ballots and election records from a Georgia election office isn’t normal law enforcement. Nor is it normal for the Director of National Intelligence to be involved. If the DOJ can be used to relitigate a settled election, it can be weaponized in every future one. This is not democracy.

Today’s Senate vote is an important first step toward unifying Democrats against the escalating violence carried out by ICE and Border Patrol in our communities. Republicans don’t have the votes to jam through this toxic DHS bill.

We stand with Ilhan Omar.

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

Tonight in DC, hundreds of people came together to remember and mourn Alex Pretti. One of Pretti’s fellow VA nurses from Minnesota spoke at the vigil and shared a lesson from nursing we all need right now (1/2)

Micayla Pretti, younger sister of Alex Pretti, speaks out. "Alex was kind, generous, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He was incredibly intelligent and deeply passionate, and he made people feel safe. But most importantly, he was my brother."

Our calls and emails are critical but it's also very important that we turn up the pressure on senators in public in their home states before the vote on DHS funding. We encourage you to plan creative, nonviolent, and lawful actions that honor the lives taken and highlight our demand to rein in ICE.

This saying is deeply true. These destroyers are trying to start a WW. Led by a bully who has never served!

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

In response to the regime’s political violence, over 100,000 people have signed up for tonight’s mass call on exercising our constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents. We hope you can join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Stand up tall! You’re AMERICANS! Support our fellow citizens. Please pass it on!

Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve Board of Governors: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."

The law that Trump signed on July 4, ending tax incentives for wind and solar projects, is expected to drive up electricity bills across the US. www.npr.org/2025/07/...

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

BREAKING: Fed Governor Lisa Cook pushes back with a strong statement after Trump claimed to fire her: “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign and will continue my work to support the U.S. economy”

Our gerrymandered congressional maps are creating all kinds of problems. Redistricting assassin Dave Daley has a solution. Watch him explain on an all new LP Podcast, out NOW: https://youtu.be/k-bL8JHdoJQ

Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."

This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?

Reporter: Higher prices. The overall inflation rate as of July at 2.7%. That's well above what the Fed was targeting. When you look at just furniture prices for living room, dining room, and kitchen, almost 8%. This is before these furniture tariffs even kick in

Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.

Free DC is the renewed campaign to protect DC Home Rule and win lasting dignity for the people of the District of Columbia. They are also in the middle of the most important fight of our generation, and need our support. Get involved at FreeDCproject.org and follow @freedcproject.bsky.social.

In response to the Trump regime’s executive orders that further enable their hostile takeover of DC, Free DC states, “Trump is laying the groundwork to quell all public dissent to his agenda. If he is successful, it would spell the end of American democracy. We refuse to allow that to happen…” 1/9

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

As Trump continues his authoritarian power grab by militarizing cities, your voice is critical. Contact your local leaders to demand protection of local autonomy and democratic rights. indivisible.org/camp...

This might be the most fascistic authoritarian thing the psychotic shitstain has ever announced. This imbecilic fake populist lunatic has no fucking idea that the burning of a red, white, and blue piece of Chinese cloth is protected by the First Amendment.

MAGA Maoism is here to stay: While continuing to screw working class Americans by cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the Dear Leader has decided that after the fascist authoritarian Trump regime took a stake in Intel, they'll now take stakes in other companies.

“Do not come to Chicago” -JB Pritzker This is what we have been talking about, since 2020. Hit back harder. That’s how you win a fight. The entire Democrat party should be taking notes.

feels familiar

Gov. @jbpritzker.bsky.social's message to Donald Trump: Do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted nor needed here.

The DC community is uniting to resist Trump’s militarization of their city.

Trump’s tariffs will impact tailgate season.

Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states

After being kidnapped, trafficked overseas, and spending 160 days away from his family, Kilmar Abrego Garcia—who just finally reunited with family—was taken into ICE custody after his immigration check-in. The Trump regime is a white supremacist terrorist organization posing as the U.S. government.

The Trump regime plans to sign executive orders that will end cashless bail and “ask law enforcement officials to work to ensure that people arrested in [D.C.] are taken into federal custody.” In other words, the regime is threatening to put any dissenters arrested in D.C. into concentration camps.

Breaking news: About 150 FEMA employees sent a letter to members of Congress, arguing that the agency’s direction and current leaders’ inexperience harms the agency’s mission and could result in a disaster on the level of Hurricane Katrina.

Democrats need to take a cue from Wes Moore and use every weapon in their arsenal to fight this anti-democratic GOP redistricting effort. https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/politics/2025/08/25/keep-our-name-out-of-your-mouth-gov-moore-responds-to-president-trump/85813512007/

About 8 in 10 Americans, 79%, say immigration is “a good thing” for the country today, an increase from 64% a year ago and a high point in the nearly 25-year trend. Only about 2 in 10 U.S. adults say immigration is a bad thing right now, down from 32% last year.

A large poster of Donald Trump is now hanging from the Department of Labor building in D.C.

Donald Trump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in record time. His war on affordability and small businesses are having real impacts — from his chaotic tariffs to his job and economy-killing immigration raids. California will continue to fight back.

I am stunned that as late as today, I can still read posts from Democrats, criticizing Harris/Waltz for “not doing enough, saying enough”, etc. One of those reasons we lost, not recognizing what we had and focusing on the Constitution, supporting our candidates and knowing the evil that was coming.

OMG! This might be the best Gavin Newsom meme, yet. 🙌💪🤙🌊🇺🇸😂🤣👇

Excited to see what novel legal theory SCOTUS comes up with to say this attempted removal is consistent with their ruling from 3 months ago that explicitly said he didn’t have the authority to do this.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 25 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES TODAY HE SAYS "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a DICTATOR" In Washington DC 3-story banners of Dear Leader adorn the Dept. of Agriculture & Dept. of Labor Just like you'd see in North Korea or China LET IT SINK IN
