@jollygoodginger.bsky.social and crew are waiting for the amazing ppl marching from Philadelphia to hand deliver a leather bound copy of the constitution to congress.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or anyone,save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country." Theodore Roosevelt 1918 open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Hope is magic! On the Prop 50 broadcast on Wednesday Martin Sheen had very inspiring words: "Fear is useless & hope is essential." I hope his words inspire you as they did me. Never forget: Hope is the antidote to fascism! So let's rage with hope. Turn the fear, frustration & fury into fire!

Perfect! 😂

🚨David Letterman is speaking out against the silencing of Jimmy Kimmel. 1/2

RFK Jr putting farmers out of business. Then add Trump’s tariffs killing exports, USAID dismantling, fertilizer & tractor tariffs, etc etc This is the most anti-farmer admin in US history and the vast majority of them voted for it. Please don’t ask for a taxpayer bailout. Again.

This pathetic factotum is bathing himself in the fetid attention he gets from the media, especially from water-carrying “podcasters.” His flaccid posturing would be sad if it were not quite so obviously venal www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Van Hollen is dead on. ABC caved to a bully and handed him a feast. Appeasement doesn’t tame tyrants it fattens them up. Every time the press bows, the bully grows bolder and we all pay the price. Time to stop feeding the beast and start fighting back.

Late night hosts criticizing the president isn’t new. Having a thin-skinned dictator wannabe who can’t take it is.

Now is not the time to be demoralized. Free speech won’t protect itself. This edition of The Digital Drumbeat is full of actions you can take right now to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Trump now calls for the firing of Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers.

My first bill just passed the House, and Oregon’s veterans are better off because of it. The FAST VETS Act helps ensure veterans have the tools they need to thrive in civilian life. I started my career as a physician at the VA — and I won’t stop fighting for our veterans in Congress.

$6.8 billion in already-approved education funding—now frozen. Working parents who need before- and after-school programs may have to choose between their jobs and their kids. This doesn’t just hurt families—it wrecks local economies. We can’t let this slide. Raise hell. #GOPCutsKillEducation

Welcome to the United Kingdom! 🇬🇧 Never before in U.S. History has a President been acknowledged by another country in this unique way! 🇺🇸 At Windsor Castle, in London & all across the land, people are United! ✊ They all want to see the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles, ASAP! 👀

Don’t let this make you quieter. Get louder.

Mikie Sherrill believes in public education—and she’s ready to fight for students, parents, and educators every single day. That’s why @insta\_njea endorsed her for governor. Together, they’ll make New Jersey’s public schools the very best in the nation. #VoteNJ

RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES!!

When you forget to do your job and show up to the meeting like:

Marc Andreessen (the billionaire who blocked me on Twitter after I dared to speak truth to him) has bought TikTok.

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

Where can we see it s as bd amplify?

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA

HBCUs Lock Down in Response to ‘Terroristic’ Threats At least seven historically Black institutions in five states investigated threats of violence, evoking memories of the wave of bomb threats that shook HBCUs in 2022. https://bit.ly/4n5yK1q #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky

Trump’s running America like he ran his businesses: bleed it dry, leave everyone broke, then walk away. He isn’t a president; he’s a vampire, and the nation’s his next bankruptcy. 🧛‍♂️ #Trumpflation

🧵 The Trump regime’s reckless elimination of ICE’s paperwork requirement is a dangerous betrayal of American legal standards. For over 15 years, ICE officers had to document targets (names, employment, status, criminal records) before any arrest, with supervisor approval.

I love when Rep Jared Moskowitz lets it rip! So damn smart and simultaneously funny. Dying from “Did he wear the same makeup?” 😂 Humor is so needed right now.

🧵 ICE thought they could terrorize a Rochester, NY neighborhood. But the community wasn’t having it. Two roofers were trapped on a roof. Neighbors blocked the ladder—letting only water through. Word spread fast. Within minutes, 200 people rushed to Westminster Rd to confront ICE.

By securing his staunchly conservative son as his heir, Rupert Murdoch seems intent on locking his media empire onto a right-wing course that will surely be defined by Trumpism—and its populist corollaries around the world, Jon Allsop writes.

We Can Do So Much Better!

Since We Are Talking About Rhetoric…

In case anyone needs reminding, you can mute words for 24 hours to give yourselves a break.

Two days ago, two young men -- both white -- picked up guns to kill people at Utah Valley University and Evergreen High School in Colorado. The Minneapolis school shooter was also raised as a white boy. What's in the water? (Other than the guns of course.) #FreedomFromGunViolence

"The right wants us to believe democracy is a battlefield where only one side can remain standing, where the left will mirror their fury. Democracy, at its best, is a community that keeps making room for more." Credit for article to @danielleloveswords.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/lonestar...

Even Brazil was able to get its former treasonous president indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced. Before it tried running for president again. When the Nazis are handled. We clearly need to investigate several in the former admin. Failure is an understatement #SheShed

Mikie Sherrill has picked her running mate in the New Jersey governor's race! She and Dale Caldwell will make a great team as they address affordability, housing, healthcare costs and other critical issues. On Nov. 4, vote for Mikie Sherrill, Governor of NJ Dale Caldwell, Lt. Governor of NJ

From gas to coffee to GROCERIES to apparel, #Trumpflation was on display in August, when consumer prices were up 2.9% from a year ago. That’s an even sharper annual increase than July’s 2.7%. www.npr.org/2025/09/11/n...

My gawd, Going to the Soros well again? How bereft of ideas are these guys? How stupid are Magats to continue believing it?

It will be interesting to see how Magats handle a Mormon white male who apparently doesn’t like fascists. I am sure they were hoping it would be a transgender undocumented Muslim Mexican. But they’ll have to take what they get.

#ResistanceUnited Thank you, New Mexico Department of Health! www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

The anti-abortion Conservative in Minnesota who shot and killed Democrat Melissa Hortman not only went on to shoot another Democrat He had a list of SEVENTY other targets But it seems whenever somebody on the right shoots people it's not a political act They're just suffering from mental illness

We don’t know much about Tyler Robinson yet Yes, he’s not transgender or a person of color-he’s white and presumably straight Reports seem to indicate his family is conservative, and there are images on social media where he’s holding guns But we DON’T know his motives yet-so please, be careful
