If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

When Adolf Hitler came to power he released his imprisoned supporters from jail, crushed social security programmes in return for tax cuts for the rich and sent his thugs out to arrest immigrants and minorities. See any similarities?

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

"too"

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

THIS IS NO LONGER A DRILL. I hope you are all prepared for this moment, because our president is declaring US the enemy, and is weaponizing his military AGAINST US.

Live from the Oval Office.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Republicans would rather bring the entire government to a halt than risk bringing a pedophile to justice.

Can't we just get healthcare

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social if you don’t sign this, don’t expect democrats to ever vote for you again, including this one.

We are literally trying to survive in the stupidest of times.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

"The Trump administration will launch a program to find out how much money an artificial intelligence algorithm could save the federal government by denying care to Medicare patients... "It will affect patients in AZ, OH, OK, NJ, TX, and WA starting January 1..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

"Because of changes that are starting to roll out from Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill... about 2.4 million people could lose access to the food stamps per month... "Millions more will see their monthly benefit amounts shrink because of changes mandated by the law... www.cbsnews.com/news/food-st...

This week: The Network State conference in Singapore. Watch as radicalized tech billionaires and authoritarian governments openly plot a post-democracy, post-USA crypto future. The Network State is an extremist tech cult based on the work of Curtis Yarvin. It calls for a program of "tech zionism."

Sen. Warnock called Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement program “the real waste, fraud, and abuse.” “This report shows that Pathways is incredibly effective at barring working people from health coverage and making corporate consultants richer.”

This is a must read article...no pay wall If you're not following, it's time to.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

It's a tale as old as the hills.

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask.

In just two days the Trump administration has rhetorically expanded their bogeyman term from ‘antifa’ to ‘antifa-aligned.’ They are not hiding their goal of equating protest with terrorism.

Trump's Shell Game Threatens American Security open.substack.com/pub/deklepto...

“In exile” is a weird and dictatory way to say you were voted out in a free and fair election. Feels like that word choice should get some attention.

Excerpted from Heather Cox Richardson’s letter this morning. Does anyone here have any ideas about what the hell any these GOP “projects” probably mean? Regime change? Psy ops measures in these countries? Trying to buy into or sabotage Greenland? Anyone?

“America First is actually “Israel First.” 🤬

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

"AI Chatbot, how can that tacky simpleton from Queens make the United States look even more stupid and vulgar?"

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

Establishment Dems pushing Janet Mills—who would be 85 after her first term—to run for Maine Senate.🤦🏽‍♂️ We HAVE a stellar candidate in Graham Platner (40), who rejects AIPAC, condemns Israel’s genocide in Gaza, demands universal healthcare, & is people funded. Donate $5 here: actl.ink/grmpltnerbgi...

another instance where “fuck you, make me” is the optimal reply

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Look, if we're getting rid of the First Amendment, apparently we're getting rid of all of it... (the proper response from journalists here is "fuck no" and if you lose your press pass, so fucking be it, and start working on building up your sources inside the pentagon to continue your reporting)

The Republicans want to put members of Antifa on a list. Guess which list Antifa isn’t on?

MAGA’s weird worship of the racist podcaster who got killed by the MAGA kid shows you how much influence all these billionaire bucks buy in the hearts & minds of the heartless. Dude was a zero not a hero.

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

Oklahoma is 50th in education because Walters uses kids’ education as his play toy to score his next hit on Fox. He couldn’t care less about kids.

Fed. Governor Lisa Cook is the test. If SCOTUS says yes, the purge begins. The Fed folds. The SEC obeys. The NLRB vanishes. Independence is gutted. One man decides who stays. Who kneels. Who falls. This is how dictators destroy democracies. Ask Jimmy Kimmel what happens when you dare to resist.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Colin Kaepernick will fund an independent autopsy for De'Martravion "Trey" Reed, a Delta State University student found hanging on campus on September 15, 2025, through his Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative. www.foxnews.com/sports/colin...

Our government passes more bills helping Israel than actual Americans.

Now imagine Kash & Dan handling an imminent terrorist attack case.

I call on media to REFUSE the framing pushed by right wing chaos agents like Cernovitch & Rufo on this act of what appears to be political violence. The Democratic former Speaker of the Minnesota House was assasinated along with/her husband. The killers was hunting Dems. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Donald Trump returned to the scene of the crime at the US Open men's final today. In 1997 he groped former model Amy Dorris in a private suite -- one of countless women the felon has raped, groped or forcibly kissed.
