Watch as this mother from Louisiana is repeatedly punched by ICE "agents". This disgusting abuse of power by these mentally weak men needs to stop. They need to be incarcerated with the rest of this Nazi criminal regime. #SheShed #ICE

Yes, this means freezing out and withholding votes from democrats who won’t stand up for us. Which is a lot of them. Time to crash the party. 2025 has proven beyond a shade of doubt it isn’t redeemable with its current leaders and structure. Time for a hard reset.

Don’t donate to or defend any politician or PAC who will trade away human rights using the right wing sneer about identity. They are telling you that you’re disposable for their quest to power.

They keep stealing our money to enrich themselves! Vote Out All House of Representatives & Senators who voted for this bill! STOP STEALING OUR MONEY!😠

“When I see Donald Trump announce a bunch of investigations, I don’t see him going after these rich elites that are implicated in these files, according to the survivors," Republican Thomas Massie said on Sunday.

The progressive candidate for Pelosi's seat.

After the Supreme Court announced it would consider a case that could eliminate mail-in ballot grace periods, key Republican players immediately jumped at the chance to lay the groundwork for their next target: early, in-person voting.

I remind you that Robert Acost knew all of this shit and covered it up. Jeff Sessions knew all of this shit and covered it up. Bill Barr knew all of this shit and covered it up. Merrick Garland knew all of this shit and covered it up. Pam Bondi knew all of this shit and covered it up.

Fareed Zakaria ripped into Democrats today: "It's hard to see the government shutdown and reopening as anything other than a defeat for the Democrats. If they didn't have the leverage or were not willing to use it to prolong the shutdown, then why did they stage it at all?"

Jeffrey Epstein wasn't the only pedophile close to Trump. Last month, Trump's spiritual advisor, Robert Morris, was arrested after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a girl. Morris was a pastor on the evangelical advisory council for Trump's presidential campaign.

This clip from the documentary Art of the Surge gives some insight into how Trump's tweets are made. Trump can be seen dictating to his aide Natalie Harp. We also see the entire room brainstorming, with Matt Gaetz and Stephen Miller contributing ideas. gizmodo.com/does-preside...

The basis for ubiquitous reliance on symptom surveys in US psychiatry is studies like this that show requiring patients to repeatedly respond to surveys changes survey responses. This is so incredibly dumb, and carries massive unintended consequences at the level of culture, politics, and economy.

Every delay is a life saved.

Before ACA, I regularly had patients who bought insurance they thought was "best for them". I've seen $50k annual max, $500k lifetime max, plans w/ no Rx coverage, plans *carving out* cancer treatment, plans that denied leukemia treatment because prior iron deficiency anemia was a pre-existing. /1

This piece makes it sound totally normal that the police gets to decide whether or not to "work with" Mamdani as mayor, and it continues, as nearly all the paper's coverage, to wield normative terms like "moderate" and left" in a prejudicial way. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/n...

Thou shalt not forgive or forget all the evil things Marjorie Taylor Greene said and did. The main reason she is talking more ‘sane’ these days is because she wants to inherit the MAGA cult.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning. The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

“Matt Van Epps is a puppet to the puppet masters of the universe — the Epstein Files are another example of the billionaire boys club getting away with crimes while regular Tennesseans get crushed with prices.” TN-7 nominee REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social (D) with @velshi.com 👇🏽

This week, we published documents that provide details about the Trump administration’s use of Guantánamo Bay to detain immigrants. The shift reports show bleak conditions and that ICE was unprepared to handle detainees. americanoversight.org/what-records...

If you are a nurse or a CNA and get caught on your own time abusing drugs, you are not a nurse or CNA again for the rest of your life. Olivia Nuzzi on the other hand got a year to write a book in Santa Barbara and a new job with Vanity Fair.

Co-sign. The fact that Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza is not just an opinion. It's the conclusion of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Genocide Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, the UN, and many others.

I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

We gave $40 billion to Argentina without even consulting with Congress but keeping the $26 billion in ACA subsidies can't be done. I wonder if this should be put in an ad.

a single mother & survivor of dv was reported by her abuser & taken by ice. now she is facing deportation. they have until november 20th - so in 4 days - to cover necessary legal fees. they need at least 5000 dollars. PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK. help us bring her back to her kids. no one deserves this.

I should be transparent. The NYT has approached @mississippifreepress.org reporters and editors about potential reporting partnerships. We have declined to have those conversations. We know it’s a reader play and don’t want clubby NYT control/influence on our reporting choices for obvious reasons.

The US lacks a persuasive justification for war, despite Trump’s fanciful portrayal of Maduro, and Latin American cartel bosses, as “narco-terrorists” with whom he deems the US to be at war. But Trump doesn’t care. He believes that he and his country are above the law... bit.ly/3LEsekx

I have said this for awhile: the democratic party’s general unwillingness to allow healthy dissent on the issue of Palestine will allow the fascists to “get ahead” on the issue because the antisemitic groyper faction is tolerated in the party and allowed to dissent.

The progressive candidate for Pelosi's seat.

Stalking a 19-year-old David Hogg, who had just survived a school shooting, berating him, calling him names, and accusing him of being a liar isn't "toxic politics." It's being a crude, unhinged sociopath. www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/p...

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

"The Vatican, which rarely intervenes in climate negotiations, called for a reference to 'sex' rather than 'gender' during discussions on the need for disaggregated data." Scratch the surface of demands to collect data about 'biological sex' rather than gender and we quickly see the real motives...

Even in conversations about saving the planet from catastrophic destruction, regressive anti-trans voices are trying to derail things by demanding climate agencies collect data about 'biological sex' rather than gender 📊🌍 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan for Senate!

I agree, let’s get back to affordability, as in, can you AFFORD to lose your seat to an upstart progressive primary challenger and be forced to try and find a new career as a 52 yo who burned out after two terms as a house rep from nowhere, Michigan.

The Epstein scandal won’t be the thing that changes MAGA minds. They are in this for the long term now. Cognitive dissonance will say “It’s all a hoax.” They would have to do the adult thing of realising that they’d been had for ten years. That’s not happening.

The real story here is that George Osborne had Mandelson to dinner for a three hour conversation on the present situation www.thenational.scot/news/2562159...

It's not just ambition on climate action that's being run down, but nature. Planet Earth is in the fight of its life and, on balance, those of us who are its allies are losing. It's our duty to work out why, and act on it. share.google/N0QU31GX4Znw...

He also gets money from AIPAC and does substantial business on the stock market. www.capitoltrades.com/politicians/... Actually, looking at the amounts members of Congress are moving around in stocks, I think a lot of these people should really be in jail.

No we don't. He should be voted out of office. Also militantly against impeachment. He brought it up once earlier this year and after even a whiff of pressure he immediately walked it back.

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...
