Day by day, we are learning how many “leading” organizations will sell out us and our democracy to save themselves. I can only hope millions of Americans are now grasping the danger that only collective action can stem.

ABBY PHILLIP TO SCOTT JENNINGS: “Hold on… There are plenty of people over on (Fox) who lied about the election and denigrate half of 🇺🇸 every night, and they are allowed to do it… is the government supposed to be punishing people for speech they don’t like?”

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Wake up!

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

I first saw something akin to this portal in Dublin on Star Trek and then Stargate. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a portal that you could step through to visit another country or world? For now, we can wave and write messages on a board, etc.

This is why they’re deleting studies

"Some men improve the world only by leaving it." ~ Oscar Wilde

Thou shalt not let these disturbers of our harmony frighten you nor steal your peace. They feed off fear and hatred. Do not feed them.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

To hide slavery's central role in our history is false witness. Slavery is American history—it lasted longer than this nation has existed. Enslaved people built this country, we fought a war against the British to keep it and a war in the U.S. to end it.

Migrants can't answer back. They have no voice. So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue. In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess. That is what is really going on here.

Usually, I am no fan of gerrymandering by either party, but I am tired of fighting with one hand tied behind my back. Tired of bringing balloons to a gun fight. Tired of playing by the rules when one party stopped doing that decades ago. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Democratic Governors, what more do you need to see? WAKE UP. FIGHT. www.axios.com/2025/08/20/n...

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a fantastic event. When I first considered visiting Edinburgh, it was for the Fringe, but the Tattoo had me excited. It did not disappoint.

If Dems do not control the House in 2028 Rs will refuse to certify the election in the House. They will claim millions of illegals voted and refuse to relinquish power. Thats why they’re doing the stealmanders. It’s imp you accept this fact so we can stop it D’nile is a river, not a strategy

This should be a major story and it Isn’t even a blip. newrepublic.com/post/199027/...

Truth👇🏾! Interestingly, recently, I enjoyed a bottle or two of wine with friends, and we discussed life. Capitalism came up, and the guys were low-tax and pro-business, but one acknowledged that it didn’t work for everyone. The other person who started commenting just sat back and didn’t say a word.

Ok DC its your turn now. Show em how it's done. Sending you all love from Portland

With everything going on, I must say, I still have not a clue what their message is. They are lost and out of their league I’m afraid. And democratic voters know it

👇🏾 She tells no lies.

We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both. Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!

Thou shalt not complain about crime in D.C. when you’re a convicted felon who incited a violent mob to attack Congress with the goal of hanging your own vice-president. Oh also, thou shalt not complain about crime when you just transferred a convicted pedophile to a luxury resort prison.

Reminder: There were hundreds of Epstein victims, and Ghislaine Maxwell was an active criminal participant and co-conspirator for much of it. Also, release the Epstein files.

The corruption from this administration is off the charts—and it’s not just Trump. It’s his team, his donors, and the policies they’re pushing. This isn’t public service. It’s self-enrichment. And the American people are paying the price.

All these people saying Russia shouldn't give the land back. If the US was invaded by another country and they took California, Texas and Florida you wouldn't say: that's how war works or that we should just negotiate for peace. Just dumb talking points!

There is no emergency in DC that justifies the federalization of state National Guard troops. Trump is once again brazenly violating the rule of the law and the Constitution. Will Congressional Republicans ever honor the oaths they took to "support and defend the Constitution"?

Tapper: What do you make of Abbott’s argument that you’re fleeing like chickens… Crockett: The only weakling is the Governor himself. It’s not Texans that asked him to do this—it is the criminal in the White House that begged for him to do this.

Idiot. The Russians tried to establish an airhead outside Kyiv, and were defeated at the battle of Antonov Airport. Then they rolled tank columns down both sides of the Dnieper—using highways!—and were beaten back.

Karen Bass: "You don't deploy the armed forces because of people's feelings."

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high. Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance. Nothing trickles down to workers.

It’s not a distraction. It’s fascism.
