They labeled us criminals… And things haven’t been this bad since Jim Crow. 🧵

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Exactly

White folks, if you think this government would never turn the military against you, think again—Sincerely Black people.

Oh lordy, not the folks who should be in charge of civics curriculum. 🤦‍♀️😱🤦‍♀️

I've been waiting for a good voice to pick up the Argentina/Soybean scandal. Dan Osborn now has. www.centralnebraskatoday.com/2025/10/02/d...

And just like that....I quit watching @cbsnews.com What a very sad day for journalism.

'Very big deal': Trump niece claims he 'paid someone to take his SATs' to get into college www.rawstory.com/trump-sats-p...

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social is standing firm against the Republican cruel Big Ugly budget scheme to rip away healthcare & drive up costs for millions of us. While Republicans stand for billionaires, Mikie is fighting for NJ families to keep their coverage & to lower costs. Early vote 10/25! #VoteNJ

ICE attacked the police chief in Broadview, IL. He says his officers are being tear-gassed by ICE and diverted from their duties. Over 20% of U.S. cops are veterans. Kristi Noem and Donald Trump's forces are anti-cop, anti-safety, and anti-American.

This‼️ “The Democrats should be unified in one voice saying: how dare the Republicans, who control everything from the White House to the House floor, hold hostage the healthcare, the jobs, and the safety of the American people for Donald Trump’s political retribution.” @tarasetmayer.bsky.social

This bill just passed here in Alabama. My brown skinned son was already terrified to go out in public. I absolutely hate this fucking country today. I FUCKING HATE THIS COUNTRY.

Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED. www.wired.com/story/govern...

Let me also add that fighting back against the Christian nationalist agenda is working. It may not feel like it, but it has definitely slowed down the completion of Project 2025. Keep speaking up, and keep protesting! ✊️✊️✊️

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

If you think MAGA farmers are learning anything or you think MAGA people getting screwed in this economy are learning anything I need you to study this closely. The racism is EVERYTHING to them. It is who they are at their core. They ARE Charlie Kirk.

These fuckers are going to rescind EMTALA. A law passed due to the death of a young, white, citizen who was turned away due to no insurance. It’s all a scam. The GOP is going to use their racism to rescind the biggest lifesaver in our country’s history. God save us!

Lutnick on Epstein: Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it? Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

That explains this

"Lutnick, in a notable break with the DOJ, claimed late pedophile Epstein was 'the greatest blackmailer ever' — and may have traded the feds video of his rich and well-connected associates getting massages from young women in exchange for a controversial 2008 plea deal."

The Epstein files have turned the entire GOP in Congress into a bunch of Gym Jordans. They know the truth about a pedophile but are actively covering it up.

Regardless of what AOC says, she’s slapping Republicans in the face every time she opens her mouth. She’s a natural orator, she’s not trying to be pretentious, she remains authentic & to top it off, she’s a fearless, confident, intelligent woman that knows her worth.

Gov. Wes Moore: "A prerequisite for keeping the government open should not be forcing people to have their healthcare premiums jump...My message to President Trump is clear: stop this shutdown. You're the one causing it. We're the ones dealing with it."

Worth considering… check it out:

Many of you have asked about gifts to us during a shutdown, mainly doordash types of things. No. Instead, donate to local food banks like Manna in MoCo, Capital Area Food Bank in DC, Find Food in PGC, and Food for Others in Fairfax. These serve everyone. Please repost. #fedstrong #shutdown

#RickyVelez unpacks how the ubiquity of online sports betting has become a problem for #LasVegas casinos and an even bigger problem for American men, and how, instead of trying to protect people from these billion-dollar gambling apps, Trump is just taking a cut for HIMSELF! youtu.be/gVLHgviX2Xc?...

Stephanopoulos drops a truth bomb on Johnson….

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

Gross, but it also feels so much harder for a single local official to do good things in the face of resistance than it is for a single recalcitrant local official to prevent forward progress.

And if we love and protect our children, it should NEVER go away. EVER!! If it does, evil has won. And we don’t deserve our children.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?
