What a sad, sad, day for this country. What the hell are we doing.

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

He's telling generals that he's declaring war on American cities and that they will be expected to support his illegal campaign. This is the worst thing Trump has done as president.

Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

BREAKING President Trump just told top U.S. generals they’ll be part of “straightening out” U.S. cities. More ⬇️ 🧵

Well, one benefit of this meeting: hopefully our top brass are all in agreement that they’re not going to follow Laurel and Hardy over the cliff

I sure am glad we have a president who will send a pilot making $80k/yr to kill a Colombian fisherman making $3k/yr in a boat worth $500 with a missile that costs $1,000,000 to keep the public from learning about all the times he sexually assaulted underage human trafficking victims. #Epstein

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Watch with the sound on

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

Trump’s secret police walk the streets of our cities, terrorizing, beating, kidnapping, and disappearing people. How much longer will we allow this? Saturday, October 18 is the next national protest. Find your local event at fiftyfifty.one

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

79. American citizen.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Dear President Trump, Please help us. Antifa has invaded our city and taken every brunch reservation. We can’t get into any place decent until at least 1:00, maybe 2:00. Our children are starving and their whining is killing us. Please send troops! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I just saw a “Release The Files” bumper sticker on a Cybertruck

All our top military brass are gathering. If they’re told they have to take a loyalty oath, how many will do it? When this President orders American soldiers to open fire on American civilians on American soil, will they follow those orders?

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

It’s funny because it isn’t 😕 🇺🇸

If you have functioning organ systems, you are *detoxing* all day. Every day. Liver Kidneys Lungs GI tract You’re all good, boo. Stop buying into conspiracies and claims from wellness profiteers who don’t know basic science.

👇👇

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

He was a predator, and he preyed on children. Release the Epstein files.

The Supreme Court, like the GOP, has abandoned the law, the country, and any sense of right and wrong. We won’t forget. We won’t forgive.

Concerning …

We can save our country, but we have to do it NOW. Public pressure works (Kimmel!) Saturday, October 18 is the next No Kings protest. Be there. Find your local event here: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=5...

Outrageous.

Hegseth’s meeting of every General and Admiral in the military has one purpose: take an oath for Trump or be replaced. Trump will make our military his own, and use it against us. We have one more chance to say HELL NO: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=5...

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk. He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

This is what unity looks like.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

Okay, at this point, let’s just assume all male Republican Christians are hiding sexual activities their faith says they shouldn’t do. And let’s agree they need psychological help, not positions of power, right?

I laughed. I choked up. And I remembered what Americans do when the chips are down…

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Sept 24 (Reuters) - The monologue Jimmy Kimmel delivered on his return to late-night television had been seen 17 million times on Google's YouTube and Instagram by early Wednesday afternoon.

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk - yeah, & people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths... it already is costing lives"

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

The distractions are endless. Tylenol use in pregnancy creates autism. Birth control pills are actually bad for you. IVF is wrong. It never ends, but it’s all part of a strategy: Make American Women Helpless Again

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."
