“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

214 House Democrats have signed the discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. We only need 4 Republicans to sign. House GOP: Join us NOW before it's too late.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

Trump on his boat strikes: "We're gonna start very soon on land, and I'm sure you're thrilled to hear that."

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

Some might say, hacking billboards is noble work. 😉

St. Paul, MN. Again, breaking the Federal Judge's order.

Dreading the political fights over Thanksgiving dinner?  This Thanksgiving, we bring you ten things to argue about instead:

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him. Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer... So, anyway. I have books and stories out there.

Again before we go praising MTG… and if shes truly changed great, but can somebody please ask her about January 6? Have her address that to see if this is real

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

Today was Palestinian Independence Day. As Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood — as 81% of the world already does. Agency and dignity are the only ways we can achieve lasting peace.

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

My sweet grandkitty 🩷 #caturday

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is allowing faith leaders to be singled out and targeted for state violence in Illinois. Call his office and demand he put a stop to it now: 217-782-6830. Credit to @mulchy.bsky.social for this footage, please follow them for more. #FuckICE #Broadview #Chicago

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

1. Last week, we reported on WSU certifying an anti-trans SPLC-designated hate group to teach medicine. Now, S. Baum has uncovered that the Michigan State Medical Society has certified anti-trans hate group Genspect to teach medical workers. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Crockett: Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for this point blank period. Her constituents were the ones that were on the receiving end of this.

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

If RFK Jr gets his way & countries ban thimerosal-containing vaccines, ~150 million children every year will lose access to life-saving medicines. It’s time for everyone to recognize that he is a global health threat & a travesty to America. Read my latest: news.immunologic.org/p/thimerosal... 🧵

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”

This week’s arguments in Shilling v. Trump affirmed what we already knew to be true: there’s no basis for Trump’s trans military ban — just cruelty and discrimination. The Ninth Circuit must block the so-called “Hegseth Policy” banning trans people from serving in the military.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

This is horrible, and it’s only going to worsen as the economy crumbles under the Trump regime. Find mutual aid organizations and food distribution sites in your local area. If you have the means, see how you can support them with your time, money, or other resources. We’re all in this together.

No Justice. Everyone else pays the price Trump Foundation (Charity Fraud, $2M) Taj Casino ($10M, Money Laundering) Trump Org (Fraud/18counts, $450M) Trump Org CFO Riker's Prison 2x Trump University (Fraud, $25M) Proven Rapist 2023 ($88.3M) Convicted 34 Felonies 2024 91 Felonies Unprosecuted

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

This is what patriotism looks like right?!!

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king
