"The Supreme Court Case That Could End Free and Fair Elections" As Trump pressures states to redraw electoral maps to favor Republicans, the nation's far-right justices appear poised to weaken the Voting Rights Act and silence American minority voters:

🔥 TEXAS — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Cornyn & Paxton don’t stand for freedom, family, and faith… they stand for control, cruelty, and corruption.”

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

The federal agency responsible for managing the U.S. arsenal of nuclear bombs and warheads plans to furlough 1,400 workers by Monday, the Energy Department said Friday, as the government shutdown’s effects stretch into a third week.

When a picture says a thousand words… #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

Unbelievable He's back to this. He just wants to hand the territory to Putin so he can claim he ended the war. He's so delusional that he's now saying that he's already saved millions of lives all around the world. He's obsessed with this fantasy. Who's feeding it to him? My guess is Rubio.

Majority Opinion: “Will this kill more poor people? Then yes.”

It’s like Trump knows something’s ready to drop on the #EpsteinFiles. He really wants Massie to be a “no“.

We expect costumes 🐸🦄🦖 We expect signs 🤣🤣 We expect some drumming 🥁 #NoKingsBozeman Noon to 1 pm Main st www.kbzk.com/news/local-n...

Trump & the Republican Party have long claimed that they stand for law & order. Yet, here we are, once again, watching Trump release another criminal. #FDT #DemsUnited www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Happy Friday Marcie. I’m getting motivated watching this Andrew Young documentary. We can overcome. You’re right, children would never had voted for Trump, they saw through the fake persona. But he will fall and fail his objective I’m hoping for a humungous turnout Grateful for the inclusion ♻️👣

🚨BREAKING: In the latest showcase of President Donald Trump’s influence over the Justice Department, two veteran federal prosecutors were fired for refusing to bring criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) — further exposing how the DOJ is being weaponized.

Senator Jeffrey Merkley claims that Trump is orchestrating a fabricated riot in order to invoke the Insurrection Act.

On point #nokings

BREAKING: Trump administration goes to the Supreme Court in its effort to deploy troops in Chicago. A TRO blocked the federalization of the National Guard and their deployment; Seventh Circuit kept the deployment blocked during appeal. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/not-guilty

As part of his commutation, George Santos will no longer be required to pay more than $370,000 in court-ordered restitution to his victims, according to a copy of the commutation posted online by Ed Martin, the U.S. pardon attorney.

so they murdered people and now they've kidnapped the people who made it out?

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky. Block on sight. Protect your digital space. Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them. The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

loser stuff

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

When you’re making your #NoKings posters, remember… Donald Trump LOVES a good nickname.

This administration is consistently putting the Constitution through the shredder. Soon we'll be down to only Article II and the Second Amendment.

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)

#Pinks #ProudBlue To those going to #NoKings protest on Saturday, please be safe.

Wowser!

Today, unjust charges were filed against SEIU USWW President David Huerta, arrested while peacefully exercising his constitutional rights at an LA ICE raid. SEIU members will not be silenced when our communities and rights are under attack. Our statement: www.seiu.org/2025/10/char...

Thomas Massie is one of the very few conservatives behaving like someone who knows *for sure* he isn't mentioned in the Epstein files. Why more conservatives aren't acting this way is a question that seems to answer itself.

New York State Young Republicans disbanded by state GOP leaders after our reporting on a Young Republican group chat filled with racist and antisemitic rhetoric.

It's important for prominent Democrats, especially those running for president, to loudly promise they'll throw the full weight of the DOJ into prosecuting illegal acts committed by Trump officials during his administration. If people fear a prison cell, they're more likely to abandon the GOP.

Trump and the GOP are putting their mega-donors first, while Democrats are standing up for working families.

Rep. Adam Smith to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "All they’ve said is, these people are part of a drug-running gang and we killed them ... I’ve never been in a situation like this where there has been less information provided to Congress on the details." Full episode: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

UVA students are saying HELL NO to Trump’s corrupt college “contract.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

People have a hard time accepting what's happening right in front of their eyes.

Two Words: • FILM • EVERYTHING #NoKings

The field director for ICE in Chicago is exiting his post and returning to D.C., a day after a federal judge in Illinois demanded he appear in court to answer questions about his agency’s continued use of tear gas in and around the city. https://to.wttw.com/4nbbJJF

We talk about tipping points a lot. But it is truly devastating to see that we are in the midst of one. The end of warm water corals? www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9pq... with @tinymaddie.bsky.social

I'll always remember Suzy Weiss as the high school student who wrote a racist anti-diversity letter to colleges (that her sister, then an editor at WSJ, got published in the newspaper), where she came off spoiled and entitled.

It's the MAGA way: when you gain power, you shove the worthy aside and give sinecures to your family.

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

For no reason at all: I suggest you take time & watch footage from the Hong Kong democracy protests — specifically 2019-2020 protests. Get a sense of what tech-enabled anti-protest policing looks like. Those kids came up with wild stuff to withstand/neutralize “non-lethal” crowd control techniques.

State troopers are paid and controlled by the Governor and legislature. It’s time for Pritzker to yank the funding of State Troopers in IL to do any activity in support of ICE. Why the hell is any state entity working with ICE?

I found it pretty charming to learn that after Roger Taney died, sitting lawmakers called his death a "victory for liberty and the Constitution," suggested that he was probably burning in hell, and joked (?) that they'd rather hang him in effigy than do literally anything to honor his memory

If we are light a royal title, can this be the moment that we shake the dust off "Lord Baltimore"? Unused since the Calvert family line left the scene in the 18th Century and John Waters has a filmography that justifies a sword to the shoulder. Yo, Chuck, your fam needs a distraction or two. Do it.

Everyone has the constitutional right to protest, gather peacefully, and make their voices heard. Today, we are releasing guidance to make clear what is and what is not permitted under federal and local laws for protests in the nation's capital. Know your rights, DC:
