i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we build courage. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Last night in LA… Nightmare fuel on a freeway wall.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Hours after we sent a letter signed by over 450 artists and 40K others defending free speech, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel will return to air. Other companies should heed this warning: We the people are watching.

It is sadly clear that the legacy media is unwilling to stand up to Trump and is capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Wow. After being fired from @washingtonpost.com, my Substack, The Golden Hour, has been #1 rising bestseller in Culture for three days. Thank you all for the support!! Please subscribe! substack.com/@karenattiah...

I'm proud to have enacted the biggest electricity bill relief for Californians in a decade. We're cutting hundreds of dollars off millions of families' utility bills, making clean energy projects easier and cheaper to build, and preventing price increases at the gas pump.

💥 Most law enforcement are now required to publicly display their agency and name or badge number.

💥 Schools are now required to work with families and personnel to develop notification protocols when immigration authorities are present on campus. 💥 Most federal officers are now banned from concealing their faces.

The new laws I just enacted are a direct response to Trump's lawless immigration raids and arrests in California. California is fighting to end this chaos by: 💥 Requiring schools and public hospitals to limit access and implement privacy protocols to protect against Trump’s immigration chaos.

Public safety hinges on the trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve — a bond that's been shredded by the reckless immigration quotas ordered by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller. We will keep standing up for Californians against this administration's dangerous actions.

Ezra Klein’s most recent column gives the game away: he talks about how horrified he was by Kirk’s assassination because he identifies with Kirk. Kirk, like Klein, talked for a living. So even if they had different policy positions, to some degree, Klein sees himself in Kirk. /1

KAINE: Were you instructed by the secretary of HHS to not speak to senators? MONAREZ: I was instructed to not speak directly to senators KAINE: So Senate-confirmed CDC director instructed not to speak to senators

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel says recent court orders — related to a few dozen pages of grand jury material — are preventing him from releasing the FBI's massive trove of Epstein files. That's not what the courts actually said. www.politico.com/live-updates...

The right wing can complain all they want, but we will continue to fight for free and fair elections and against GOP collusion to undermine them.

Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA) asks Kash Patel if Patel told Attorney General Pam Bondi that Trump's name was in the Epstein files This was what happened next =====>

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

Telling that they call Jentelson a former aide to Harry Reid, which was a decade ago, and not Fetterman's chief of staff which was last year.

I was proud to meet with @nihfellowsunited.bsky.social who are fighting for our local NIH workers that continue to be demonized by this administration. The NIH keeps our country healthy and at the forefront of scientific research—turning our backs on science is turning our backs on our future.

No, because he’s a fucking prick like the rest of them

Scotland’s leading academic on refugees warns that British political rhetoric is taking the UK ‘into the foothills of genocide’ Professor Alison Phipps, Unesco chair in refugee integration at Glasgow University, says demonisation will end in deaths www.heraldscotland.com/news/2544663...

What if every legitimate news outlet resolved to share lies by politicians only if they immediately corrected the lies? What if they stopped letting lies go unchallenged? The media’s failure to defend the truth is giving a free ride to fascism.

(1/X) I was listening to an interview with someone from Wire about how DOGE cuts have gutted the monitoring of invasive species (specifically ants) and how this could lead to various disasters. For a minute, I thought, well a disaster like that would hurt Trump, and then I realized that no...

“In many ways, it’s bringing the logic of Gaza into the Caribbean, in terms of unaccountability, impunity and an expansive notion of national defense to justify what is, in effect, just extrajudicial killing.”

I gotta push back when people (myself included at times) call everything not Epstein related a "distraction" It's more than "a distraction " everything being done is being done with purpose to rip the fibers of democracy apart. There are real life implications, I wouldn't call those distractions.

Avelo Airlines profits off Trump’s terror tactics by running secretive (often illegal) deportation flights. We’re organizing to ground “ICE Air” and make Avelo’s deportation flights too costly to continue: www.groundavelo.org?utm_source=b...

Soybeans are collapsing because China isn’t buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing. Maybe farmers will wake up

Note to the news media: RFK JR. IS NOT A "VACCINE SKEPTIC." He's an anti-vaxxer. He's dismantling our vaccine system to usher in an era of unnecessary deaths. Lose the weasel-wording.

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs. RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat? Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.

Google won’t be forced to sell its Chrome browser and can keep paying companies to keep its search engine as the default on smartphones, thanks to a federal ruling. In other words? Google gets to remain a monopoly and keep its harmful, anti-competitive practices. Shameful.

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

I take no pleasure to report

Fuck yeah @harvard.edu Fuck off @columbiauniversity.bsky.social

Next he’ll say that requiring car seats is like putting babies in chains. Because that’s basically what he just said

A judge has ruled that Utah lawmakers must proceed with redrawing the state’s congressional district map right away, pointing to Texas and California in rejecting their argument that the job can’t be done in time for the 2026 midterm elections. https://to.pbs.org/4p58Tbn

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️

Leaning towards writing tomorrow's column on Trump's unlawful boat attack and Googled "boat attack illegal" and the top hits were from non-US news orgs like BBC and the Independent. The American media has gone completely brain dead, no longer chasing even the most obvious stories and angles

Standing in front of the U.S. Capitol, a group of eight survivors shared emotional stories of abuse and demanded more transparency from Congress on the government's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

🪡 Chris Kluwe speaks next, ending his comment about supporting prop 50 with “if you want to cheat, we will get down in the mud and fight back.” He’s met with uproarious applause and a sour look on the face of Councilmember Van Der Mark, who he’s running against for AD72. @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

You know you voted for the crypto bill, right?

Keep an eye on: Gov. JB Pritzker Gov. Wes Moore Mayor Michelle Wu Mayor Brandon M. Scott Mayor Brandon Johnson

Because he lied. And he’s been a habitual liar his entire life. Pretty easy to find lots of evidence of that in about 15 minutes.
