“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.” -Zohran Mamdani

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

How Republicans use racism to pander to the uneducated: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - Lyndon Johnson

A hearty congrats to RFK Jr., as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status after 25 years, with the most cases since the early 1990s. #measles #RFKJr #Kennedy #disease #health www.jezebel.com/measles-unit...

It’s up to Karoline Leavitt not to come to work with track marks

Fraud is a national problem, and cases in Minnesota have been under federal and state investigation for years. So why is it suddenly a national issue? It's a case study in the power of the right's propaganda machine. My latest at MSNOW: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Fascists adore playing the victim as they victimize others. Hitler: Poland invaded Germany!!

One fascist flacking for another. America First Republicans have been enamored of fascist invaders since 1940.

Antifa:

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

Pushing back works

I can’t imagine why Trump, Bondi, Patel and Mike Johnson have fought so hard to cover up the Epstein files.

Can you scream racism any louder? These people fought for this country. Dumb people need to stop taking down memorials for black people. #USDemocracy www.newsweek.com/leaked-email...

Pam Bondi is the most inept US Attorney Generals in the history of US Attorney Generals. She makes Jefferson Beauregard Sessons seem like a brilliant legal mind!

JUST IN: AG Pam Bondi deletes a post touting a chart as proof of the Trump administration's success in reducing drug overdoses—after being informed the data actually reflected the *Biden* administration’s record.

This 84 year old woman named Laurie Eckman was hit in the head with a Projectile from #ICE! Her husband was also there & was injured so both were taken to the hospital where she had a Concussion & her husband had several injuries! This is Trump's America!

Republicans are the party of authoritarianism, corruption and hypocrisy. Their legendary "family values" are nowhere to be seen.🙄

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

Evil men. #StephenMiller #DonaldTrump #GuntherEagleman

Censorship in the Epstein Files? A Simple Cut and Paste Is Enough to Reveal It Epstein files on DOJ website allow you to highlight redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, which reveals what was hidden—to see his name appear over 600 times. lavocedinewyork.com/en/news/2025...

As always, the hypocrisy of Republicans is nauseating.

Cher rocks. Glad we got you, babe.

It’s truly amazing how Zelensky is able to see up close and personal what Putin is doing to his country and its people day after day with barbarity and cruelty, then stand next to Trump without losing it while he makes asinine statements expressing sympathy for the mass murderer.

Fortunately, the American President only defends a Russian fascist on days ending in Y.🙄

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

I’ve had a lot of people reach out over the last few weeks and ask if Gabby and I are ok. I’m good, and Gabby’s even better. She’s the toughest person I know.

And our insipid media decide to quote everything Trump says about the meeting, refusing to deal with the fact that they are spewing the party line of a murderous Russian despot.

By Michael de Adder:

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

History doesn’t begin with atrocities. It begins with people saying “it can’t happen here.” Experts are using the same psychological warnings seen in past authoritarian figures. Ignore the signs at your own risk. #NeverAgain #Trump #Fascism #USDemocracy #Pinks

putin’s useful fucking idiot

Patsy Mink became the first woman of color elected to the House of Representatives in 1964. #GirlPower #RadicalWomen

Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

Brave "law enforcement" from ICE have to wear their masks like old west outlaws. #TrumpGestapo

Karoline Leavitt’s White House briefings aren’t just spin – they reflect what George Orwell warned about: lies divorced from reality, and the use of “doublethink” to have a word (like “transparency”) mean just the opposite. A historian who studies Orwell explains: Thread ⬇️ buff.ly/tb8q3ES

"tell me we didn't just fire a dozen $500,000 missiles at a $200 camel" "sir, no evidence of any camel present, sir!"

The last regime as concerned with racial purity as Stephen Miller, was Nazi Germany. Looks like Goebbels, thinks like Goebbels.

Fox News is VERY upset with politicians who make unrealistic promises

“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Of course Trump can't rename the Kennedy Center for himself--& we are suing to stop him! We @democracydefendersaction.org are proud to represent @repbeatty.bsky.social with Washington Litigation Group The congresswoman and I joined @cnn.com to discuss the case & why it matters

With ZERO fucks left to give, Caroline Kennedy, throws down the gauntlet on the loathsome piece of shit for his desecration of The Kennedy Center. 😳👇

Year in Review -1: Elon Musk aka Leon Skum led the destruction of our government institutions by the non-existent Dept of Government Efficiency (DOGE). No oversight, no accountability, no efficiency, no savings, just rape and pillage. #YearInReview #TeslaTakeDown #DV1 #ProudBlue
