“Democratic Senators… Morning Hour … read from Epstein Files … describe what Trump did as he raped & beat underage girls … they were forced to perform oral sex on him, how he hit them, parade them out for "auction"— naked". It's crazy not to utilize this free resource!” @cherijacobus.bsky.social 💯🎯

Do you get it now?

May their memories be blessings for all who knew and loved them. #Gloucester #LilyJean #LostAtSea www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

straight up Gestapo shit

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Remember: “They’re eating your pets.” ~ Donald Trump Now, Springfield, Ohio is bracing for an ICE surge targeting an estimated 12K - to 15K Haitian immigrants. Don’t expect much pushback from Governor DeWine.

😕

The winds of public opinion are at our back. We will press this Administration until we see impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to this campaign of retribution.

This seems to be the issue,lack if guts. No idea why though.

"The lesson for those battling Trump, whether Democrats or nervous allies overseas, is not to celebrate an apparent climbdown too early. Instead, you resist until he retreats and, when he does, you don’t relax – you push even harder." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

MY LATEST: It is one thing to seize old ballots; it is quite another to imagine federal agents seizing ballots from county offices on election night or the day after. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dojs...

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024 UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M. HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

I'm sorry, WHAT?👀 The DNI just happened by a FBI raid and jumped into the back of a truck full of seized ballots?

FB: The Other 98% Federal "agents" do not double as judges. And these three did not commit any "crimes" punishable by death in our country. Abolish ICE in MN and countrywide.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

The Labor Department has proposed rescinding an Obama-era rule that gave home care workers the right to overtime pay and other wage protections. The administration says the rule made care too costly. n.pr/4a1rrSZ

Harvard sure has a sordid history of wheeling and dealing with horrible donors and not condemning the acts of its alumni when they say and do horrible things.

Me, too. Cambridge with its city council & manager that doesn't EVER represent my ghetto neighborhood (N Cambridge bounded by Mass Ave, Alewife Brook Parkway and Rindge - no transport, walkable sidewalks, green space or essential businesses in its boundaries).

So if I’m understanding this sequence correctly, from Thanksgiving to Christmas 2012, Elon Musk was essentially pestering registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to throw him a wild party on the island.

Mandelson being the former* ambassador from the UK to the US, in case that detail has been lost to your brain in the onslaught of ::waves arms:: everything. *recalled and replaced

It really does, doesn't it?

The Inq's @abgutman.bsky.social @fallonroth.bsky.social were at today's argument in the City of Philadelphia's efforts to restore truthful signage about George Washington and slavery at the President's House site. No ruling yet, but Judge Rufe (GWB nom) did not seem pleased with the WH's arguments.

lol wait what holy shit that’s … alright gang you know what I’m gonna say it’s with a heavy heart we must call and *thank* our reps for doing the job they’re supposed to do

As luck would have it, my colleagues and I recently represented journalists in the Minnesota Supreme Court in a case involving allegations that they trespassed while newsgathering. Here's an excerpt from our brief: assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS Donald Trump executive order "imposing new requirements for verifying the U.S. citizenship of people registering to vote or applying to receive absentee ballots." Another BIG Victory for the Democratic Party and free and fair elections!

Gloucester lost the fishing vessel, Lily Jean, this morning. Seven souls aboard, and one body recovered. Empty life raft found and no survival suits on board. USCG is still out searching and will through the night.💔 Keep them and their loved ones (all of Gloucester) in your thoughts.

Look who's having a snooze waiting for treats at the www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/ontario...

SCOOP: The Trump administration has lifted its ban on issuing permits to wind farms related to bird protections — while also beginning enforcement actions against operators, @jael.bsky.social reports. Read the full story: heatmap.news/politics/eag...

"We are supposed to have our constitutional right of the freedom to film, to be a member of the press. I don’t feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press," Georgia Fort said. https://bit.ly/4qcOQHt

@pmskinner.bsky.social Talking to the hardware key man, and turns out he's from Savannah, so natch we talked about you, policing and then ferals-> feral guardians -> orangeys. He had one, too, living under his porch. 😺

and maybe about Elon Musk - remember all of this? guessing he’s not mad his government is going after Lemon… www.cnbc.com/2025/07/10/m...

BREAKING: The former CNN journalist Don Lemon was arrested Thursday night, not two weeks after he was on the ground covering an anti-ICE protest that disrupted a church service in Minneapolis. Details: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

So back in June Alex Padilla was tackled and detained by ICE for trying to ask a question at a press conference. The story from the administration was he attacked her. Fast forward 7 months, Maxwell Frost attacked, Ilhan Omar attacked. Not a peep from the media about "turning down the rhetoric". 🙄

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Your regular reminder that Maura Healey is an ICE collaborator.

Trump's ICE snatched this bright, happy 5-year-old from his driveway. They shipped him 1,300 miles to suffer, without his mother, in a squalid Texas detention center. And now he's growing ill. Democrats are fighting to end this cruelty. Liam is not a criminal. Let him go.

NEW: Experts are questioning the legality behind the FBI’s unprecedented raid of 2020 election materials in Fulton County. They’re also warning it’s not about 2020 — but 2026. Law professor Rick Hasen said it’s possible “this is a test run for 2026, when control of Congress may be at stake.”

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...
