Phenomenal woman 🏆

Here's Legum's earlier report. popular.info/p/trumps-arg...

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum: "Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Still amazed that the Vatican has been more responsive to the threat Trump represents than the vast majority of American institutions.

there was a ceasefire when trump came in. he let israel blow that up, let famine spread, let his goons murder starving people, before using the power he'd had since he took office. grotesque to call this peacemaking. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/us/politics/trump-mideast-visit-israel-gaza.html

Context matters

What. The. Fuck.

He is denying representation to all her constituents.

Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter. More votes are expected today, and your senators need to hear from you. Encourage Democrats to keep fighting: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Today!

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

"The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression even if that feels hopeless...the history of the first red scare teaches us that a better future is possible and worth fighting for." Nice @davidrlurie.bsky.social historical meditation here: www.publicnotice.co/p/emma-goldm...

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

ICE has been paying private security for 24/7 guards to watch a guy with no record whose leg they fucked up so badly he has been in a hospital for over a month, and we wonder why people were handing Tom Homan bags of cash. Via @kyledcheney.bsky.social storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

It’s the first of the month, a day that brings dread and uncertainty for so many struggling tenants. And for the 2+ million New Yorkers in stabilized apartments, this month means another rent hike — the fourth in a row under this Mayor. But change is coming.

Good news: “Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard.”

NYC! New zine just dropped! "Who is this Zohran Mamdani Guy Running for Mayor?" It's got important dates, what he plans to do as mayor, how he'll pay for it, why a little socialism is good for us: the regular people, etc! And of course you can print your own! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Priorities.

This morning, I wrote that that shutdown would make Russ Vought visible in a way he was not, to normies, and might become a villain like Elon Musk was w/DOGE. Since then, he has stepped on his dick several times. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/01/a...

The federal government may shut down in less than 48 hours unless a bipartisan agreement is reached. House and Senate Democrats are in Washington working for the people. Why are House Republicans on vacation?

If they want to deny us healthcare, we deny them their seats in CONGRESS. CALL THEM! (202) 224-6342 - Sen. Thom Tillis (202) 224-3154 - Sen. Ted Budd Ross urged North Carolinians with concerns to make their voices heard before the Senate convenes on Sept. 29. ncnewsline.com/2025/09/25/u...

Trump and his regime are not invulnerable... brilliant suggestions open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Channel the energy you used to get Jimmy Kimmel back on the air into getting more Democrats elected.

Love that when she says "all sides." #visibility #coalitions #wethepeople #weareamerica

A tweet from the other palce worth sharing:

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...

Ezra Levin: This is a movement that understands cowardice is contagious. When Disney and ABC capitulate 1,000 other institutions are looking at them...That cowardice, it endangers all of us, but it is not inevitable. This is a movement that also knows the courage is contagious. #NoKingsKickOff

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

They're attacking popular things, publicly brutalizing everyday people, and alienating even Trump-appointed judges. It'll get worse before it gets better, and we can't rely on almost any elected official to lead, but we can push their goons out of our communities and out of office. We can end this.

There you have it. "You paid me $16m for hate speech." Thanks a lot, ABC, for validating this man-baby tantrum. Not a bribe, you assholes. #agoodbeginning

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Wherever Elon's attention turns, chaos follows. His empire is a giant bubble waiting to burst, and the whole thing depends on Tesla. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/t...

Here's what Schumer and Jeffries included in their alt-CR to try to rein in Trump's rescissions. These efforts aren't getting enough attention, which helps the right wingers win the shut down. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

First they came for the comedians, and I said nothing, because I am not a comedian. youtu.be/B81Ilf4tNKY?...

Exactly this

The latest from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social: www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/18/d...

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech. Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple. It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

We are the majority in numbers and in the power of our voices. Leaving out politicians because #wethepeople must lead for govt to be effective. @jbf1755.bsky.social @gregsargent.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social @muellershewrote.com @andreapitzer.bsky.social and please tag more accounts
