Resist, Ridicule, and Rout Republicans Normal politics must be abandoned for bold strategies that allow the majority to go on offense against an increasingly unhinged, dangerous, & reckless Trump Administration playing for all the marbles. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

America is collapsing under a fascist bootheel. So if you're a rich comic who went to Riyadh to take gobs of fascist blood money, I'm done with you. You know what you did; you know what you are; and you know how you just failed the country that gave you everything. And I haven't been a boycott guy.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

BASH: Are you okay w/ the military using American cities as 'training grounds'? JOHNSON: I don't know what's being implied by that B: It suggests troops are going to be in cities & use them military training J: That's been very beneficial for the Guard B: So it's ok? J: It's a win-win scenario

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for refusing to comply with our FOIA request for information about the agency's plans for expanding immigration detention in the D.C. region. We have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund ICE's abusive detention machine.

It’s useful to think of Christian Nationalism as a subculture like any other, with one important difference. THIS subculture thinks of itself as the default “normal” culture of “real Americans,” but which is also under siege by “the dominant culture.”

AOC: Donald Trump is trying to play this bluffing game of, well, maybe what we're going to do is hold the entire all the federal workforce hostage and fire everybody. Donald Trump has been firing everybody.

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump knows what he is doing. Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat shared with me a warning about Trump's next authoritarian moves and how we can fight back www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovor...

Yeah? Well, we're waiting...

If they claim they haven't heard the quote, play it for them and ask for a response. If they claim it's being taken out of context, play a longer version and ask for a response. If they try to sidestep the issue, play it over again and ask for a response.

When reality hits.

Zelenskyy: Intelligence agencies have reported that the russians are using tankers to control drones launched against European countries. This is further evidence that the Baltic Sea and other seas must be closed to russian tankers.

Trump summoned the top American military officers stationed around the world to VA to tell them that the enemy they should be primarily concerned with now is American citizens.

We've tried this. Doesn't work.

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

🚨 With a potential government shutdown happening this week, here’s what you need to know in 90 seconds

lol, yep.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

There’s no need to wonder why nations seek to flatter Trump. He’s a simpleton, a fool, a thin-skinned buffoon capable of understanding nothing beyond his own id. Around the world, leaders mock him for the ease with which they sway him. And they bemoan—or worse, celebrate—a leaderless United States.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming. The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent. 1/ Here's what's happening.

Oh my gosh. Look at the crap on the walls. 🙄

Get the hell off Twitter already. Edolf doxxing school teachers (or anyone else saying mean things about a white nationalist) should be your final straw.

I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.

The RFK hearing is a remarkable example of someone in real-time being informed about where they are on the Dunning-Kruger curve.

South Park

YES.

Gov. @jbpritzker.bsky.social : When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything?

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

This 1000x...

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but I'm feeling an energy of "Enough!" building around the country.

i wish we could just skip to the last chapter..

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."

Thank god Trump backed Russia and Putin, everything Trump backs goes bankrupt and collapses.

We are not slipping into fascism. We are there. What the actual ever loving fuck?

This is what is happening right now.

New name: “Sleepy Don from Epstein Island” Make it go viral.

Writers Guild Demands Investigation Into Stephen Colbert ‘Late Show’ Cancellation, Has ‘Significant Concerns’ About Bribery at Paramount variety.com/2025/tv/news... Well, yeah ...

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
