As a 1%'er in my close friendship circle, said to me, “I have money, I will be fine. I can go live in another country if needed." She doesn’t speak out publicly. While those of us who will be affected most speak out fervently because the impacts are felt much more deeply.

Please do not despair, we are building a movement to change and transform our country to be more equitable. We must dismantle the oligarchy and get justice for all criminals in government. And then truly form a more perfect union that lifts all up, and stops the manufactured divisions.

Even Mr. Potato Head hates Kings in the U.S.A. #nokings

Bremerton, WA, is showing up in the rain. Non stop honking. Just getting started #nokings @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social @indivisible.org

They are here to “own us” and come after our best/most effective organizing tool. Block if you feel inclined.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy. 

The important thing is that we can rebuild something fully new and better, which is why facing the severity of this moment can be a source of hope rather than paralysis.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Call it what it is

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime. Americans everywhere: Speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon. gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/gov-pritzker...

Crowdsourcing: There are many new independent news and influencer threads that are important to changing our country into the better country it can be. I plan to support several digests and am looking for whom to follow. Post recs below. Thanks in advance. And enjoy my cat for a smile.

This is heavy.

So much this. Seriously, the act of deception is overplayed. You can only act ignorant for so long.

I love you, Bluesky.

Thank you, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, keep showing up with the people in the streets. Bring all of dem congressional leaders along. It’s time for you all to lead the resistance and peaceful protests.

Read this. Understand what's coming. Be ready.

This. We need Senate leadership that can meet the moment of fascism and the weaponization of government at all levels. Lives are on the line, act like it.

Fake masculinity. Insecurity at his core. So embarrassing.

Bring on the war crimes

Spot on.

This isn’t just! It’s unconstitutional! It’s hypocritical! It’s immoral! It’s illegal! It’s wrong! It’s unprecedented! They don’t care about any of those things. They laugh at handwringing. It’s about acquiring & wielding power. You can’t shame them, you have to defeat them.

On a night like tonight, I think we can all agree on three things: the U.S. is a far too violent country, with warlike levels of gun violence; people shouldn't be murdered due to what they believe or say, no matter how awful, and Kash Patel is an embarrassing joke as the director of the FBI.

I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.

I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.

Is it time to take to the streets in mass yet? Will more than 3% care enough?

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

"Conway streamed the search from in front of the house …. "'This is very serious ….' Conway said. 'But you have to show these people that you’re not afraid. And the way you show them … is by showing up and speaking your piece and pointing out the absurdity.'" www.cnn.com/2025/08/22/p...

New in PN: Trump’s targeting of Black communities is not a coincidence "Trump has never even pretended he’s the president for the entire United States. He’s the ruler of an overwhelmingly white sub-nation that seeks to subdue the country’s racially diverse urban centers."

Simpler Trump: “Once we remove all the black people.”

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

You assert that Trump is doing all this shit to distract from the Epstein Files AND that the shit he's doing is incredibly horrible on its own. "The brutal occupation of DC goes against everything we stand for as Americans and it's a sign of just how desperate Trump is to change the subject."

So journalists will praise… this? Don’t forget these stats when you hear how “strong and powerful the mother Russia is” during the next few days.. what a disgrace.

We need more representation of disbled folks in the Senate! Go Josh!

This is the fight we want to see. The base is demanding this.

Why are democrats waiting for Texas to gerrymander? Be bold. Go big. Go first. Play offense. Or wait until Texas goes first and we don’t have enough time to get it done and only match them seat by seat so we don’t appear too aggressive. One of these is the winning strategy.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

David Markus, Maxwell's attorney, said Maxwell was asked about "maybe 100 different people" during her interview with Blanche. So, she didn't provide 100 names, she was asked about 100 names. I'm sure they were very selective about which names they asked about.

This. So much this.
