Murphy: "Trump is refusing to negotiate because he likes the fact the govt is closed, bc he thinks he can exercise King-like powers. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him. This is a leader who is trying to transition our govt from a democracy to something much closer to a totalitarian state"

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

You know what annoys me about DEI ending? White racist misogynistic men with undeserved and unearned privilege unwilling to do the work & put in the effort to remain competitive in a world where the playing field is equal. You claim no one should be handed advantages but you just want to keep yours

The "Streisand Effect" is taking hold because Trump is STILL whining about Ontario's commercial, which accurately highlighted Reagan's contempt for tariffs. Everyone now realizes that Reagan hated tariffs, loathed Trump's policies, and knew they'd backfire, eventually. Cry harder, Trump! 😆

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

🚨🚨🚨 Nick Sortos of MAG@ was arrested for attempting to incite a riot in Portland, Oregon. 1/2

Thinking this is wrong and untenable isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t, is.

Fuck Donald Trump!!!! Fuck Donald Trump!!!! Fuck Donald Trump!!!!

“I was afraid to go over there,” he said. “I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back. ... These are Americans who know what freedom is — we’re being invaded by strangers.” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Indigenous Peoples’ Day

WHEN I TELL YOU MARGINALIZED PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED FIRST AND WORST He mass fired Education Specialists Who help disabled And special needs kids In schools Fuck Donald Trump

Nearly all employees within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) were dismissed in Friday’s reduction-in-force, leaving only a few senior officials and administrative staff.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

🚨If you think this cannot happen to you - then you are mistaken. Eventually, your demographic will NOT save you. If you do not care about the people it is happening to now, then you are no better than ICE. You are not more important than anyone disappeared today. 👏🏻Wake👏🏻Up👏🏻People! 1/2

When Fox edges up to the truth…

so ICE is a jobs program for men who like to hit women and get away with it

😕🇺🇸

It might become the largest GoFundMe account in history….. #bluesky

Thought for the day. If we were a country that provided for and focused on the needs of our people, every one of them, people wouldn’t need to hoard wealth to themselves and their descendants. With all the inequity that causes. We’d all be educated, housed and cared for. By right. #auspol

I already feel it with the tariffs…

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. - Assata Shakur Pic of the day #photography

The next time anyone from DOJ so references their agency they need to be immediately corrected. It's now DOR, the U.S. Department of Revenge, which pairs nicely with the new Department of War. The trash who now govern us have outflanked Orwell entirely. They show you the lies and just shrug.

Violence against women is normalized by these “men”. Since he has no ability to regulate his emotions, he reacts with violence. And then acts entitled to do so. Disgusting.

More people should be talking about this.

Weird right? He used to support the first amendment

“The law doesn’t matter anymore” is obeying in advance.

It’s like they’re all hopped up on ketamine.

Watch this, and keep in mind that Sinclair's right-wing propaganda now reaches 72% of all households in America.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

George Carlin was a damned prophet. And I just thought he was funny.

Reminder not to give your money to ABC/Disney/Hulu/ESPN. BTW, Epstein. Here are some flowers to help us get through another day of news that is trying to get us to give up. Not giving up. I promised my mother I would live long enough to see this fascism overthrown for both of us. #flowers #fall

I think we’ve started to answer the question about what we have to lose

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Swalwell: There's going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you're going to be in this room answering questions

👀

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press. Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests should not be allowed to control our media. They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

Can’t believe the CDC. Can’t believe the DoJ. Can’t believe the BLS. Can’t believe the FBI. But I believe in us.

NEW: The National Guard analyzed its mission and found it is perceived as "leveraging fear, driving a wedge between civilians and the military, and promoting a sense of shame among troops and the military." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.
