Jon consults the Declaration of Independence to see if Trump meets the "king" qualifications

Who's funding the atrocity Trump is committing on the #EastWing ? Info from WSJ archive.ph/N8cQR Partial list in alt

"Yeah, but Michelle Obama tore up the White House lawn to force us all to eat vegetables!" Hannity said Michelle Obama was “taking the nanny state to a new level” by “tell[ing] us what to eat” & claimed that the government will be “fining us if we use salt.” www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity...

We must meet this hate with courage, by showing up, speaking out, and standing together for the dignity and safety of every Kentuckian. Hate will never define who we are. Love, unity, and common sense will. #NoPlaceForHate #KentuckyStrong

To anyone spreading KKK propaganda in our communities, know this: you do not speak for us. You do not represent Kentucky. And you will never have the last word.

SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND Kentuckians won't be able to afford their groceries. As we head into Thanksgiving Season, Republicans are taking food off our tables. It's absurd and obscene. #KY06 www.kentucky.com/news/politic...

The truth is, whether you live in the hollers or in the heart of Louisville, you deserve a fair shot and a government that’s on your side. That’s what our campaign is about. #KY06

I'm incredibly honored to announce two new endorsements for our congressional campaign: State Senator Keturah Herron and Representative Joshua Watkins. These leaders embody what public service should look like: courageous, compassionate and grounded in community. Thank you! #KY06

This Empire is illogical. - Spocko #SanFrancisco #NoKings

In the mountains where I was raised, we don’t believe in kings — we believe in people. I stood with Kentuckians at the #NoKings rally in Lexington because no one, not even a billionaire or a president, is above the people. #KY06

Good morning Access to her office But she cannot WORK All this to protect PEDO POTUS When they say Trump is so innocent WHY are they so afraid We in Arizona should have representation Our Attorney General, Kris Mayes must sue them today Join me call Speaker Johnson 202 225 2777

I love hearing @emptywheel.bsky.social talk about DHS's Greg Bovino, the Where's Waldo of Corrupt ICE enforcement & the legal cases they're losing. WARNING swearing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra3R... nicolesandler.com @nicolesandler.bsky.social @thefarce.org @gottalaff.bsky.social #Chicago #Portland

I’m proud that our campaign is being built by teachers, veterans, small business owners, and family farmers who love this Commonwealth as much as I do.

China hasn't bought a single American soybean this year. Not one. Gilkinson farms in Fayette and Clark counties and says the market is terrible. Trump just bailed out Argentina with $20 billion while they profit from taking our farmers' sales.

“The study found a typical Kentucky family puts 9.67% of their paycheck towards groceries, and that the cost of groceries rose about 6% between 2024 and 2025.”

Superb & eviscerating take on the situation at CBS by John Oliver and @lastweektonight.com. As I’ve noted, the new billionaire owners create a mirrortocracy, pretend it’s a meritocracy & hire a mediocrity to get there. But it is not about innovating & supporting journalism. youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Multiple sources tell NPR that, as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education. n.pr/48stHUo

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, I'm thinking about the Native American communities who continue to fight for representation and justice. We must listen, learn, and stand with them.

China is outpacing the U.S. in: - renewable energy - biotech research - research and development - manufacturing capabilities (AI chips) - geopolitical influence The U.S. leads in military spending. China also holds a significant portion of U.S. debt. Trump is destroying us from within.

The Trump admin lies about #ICE being attacked, so they can be the victim. The Technique is called DARVO (Deny Attack Reverse Victim & Offender) But when the "attackers" are people in frog costumes, it VISUALLY DESTROYS the lie. So KEEP sharing our silly protests digbysblog.net/2025/10/11/l...

The #AntiFascistFrog speaks! "So I'm out here protesting in a frog costume to, especially in a Frog costume, just to show how ridiculous the notion that we are violent terrorists is. It's just to showcase how that narrative is wrong." #Portland #Antifa #Frog

Breast Cancer Awareness Month reminds us that early detection is critical. Don't put off that mammogram or checkup. Your health matters, and catching cancer early can make all the difference.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social RT’ed this 👀

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

#StephenMiller gave up the plan before he glitched out on National Television!

You heard the lady! Be sure to use the hashtag #ShowMeYourHellhole so @jimmykimmel.com & @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social staff can find it & contact you to show it. @democracydino.bsky.social i expect something from you! Let us know & we will boost @jim-stewartson.bsky.social

Okay fellow Oregonians: Fire up your smartphones, drop into PDX, and document the horrors of...naked bicycle rides, disco unicorns, and the unknown number of ICE lost in the terror maze known as Powell's Books.

Half of IRS workers have been furloughed because Republicans can't do their job. Taxpayers are losing critical services right before the Oct. 15 filing deadline. When I get to Congress, I won't put people's livelihoods and the basic functions of government at risk.

As @jimmykimmel.com said, we need to know what is really going on in #Portland, #Chicago, #Memphis, #DC, #LA & any of the cities where Trump is sending in the National Guard Post videos of your war-torn community & post it with #ShowMeYourHellhole @thefarce.org @jim-stewartson.bsky.social

Letter carriers are often the first to notice when something’s wrong — a senior who hasn’t picked up the mail or a neighbor who depends on their delivery. They embody what public service looks like. I’ll always stand with our postal workers. ✉️💙 @lettercarriers.bsky.social

How we fight in #Portland. Ridicule is working! #ICE & #CBP backed up! The frog finally jumped out of the slow heating pot! Thank you #AntiFascistFrog on TikTok www.tiktok.com/@theantifasc... @thefarce.org @emptywheel.bsky.social @gottalaff.bsky.social @jim-stewartson.bsky.social

Today is #WorldTeachersDay, and I want to thank my favorite teacher: my mom. 💙 She was my 2nd-grade teacher and taught me patience, kindness, and how to show up for others — lessons I carry with me every day. Thank you to all the teachers shaping Kentucky’s future. #ThankATeacher

The Trump/MAGA Project 2025 plan: Destroy the Affordable Care Act Defund Medicaid Eliminate the federal workforce And give tax breaks to billionaires They don’t care if 17 million people lose insurance Or if millions more will see their premiums double And that thousands of Americans will die

Had a great time at the Millstone Festival in Richmond! Grateful for the small businesses, families, and neighbors who make Central Kentucky such a special place. 💙 #MillstoneFestival #KY06 #TeamCherlynn

Announcing a good ol’ fashioned Teach-In in Washington, DC on Sunday, October 26th. We’ll convene for a series of lectures, stories, and conversations to celebrate and stand up for the work of history and museums. Shoutout to @natedimeo.bsky.social for bringing this idea to us. See you in DC!

“Black Americans have long been the canaries in the coal mine for the health of US democracy. … Keep your eye on the canaries!” Prof Martha Jones on “the Myth of US Democracy”, at the first 2025 #GoodmanLecture at Western University (This year’s timely theme: The State of Democracy.) #HistoryMatters

Swear her in.

Honoring Yom Kippur and those in our community observing this holy day. Wishing you strength and peace.

Republicans own this shutdown.

KY-06 Candidate Cherlynn Stevenson Issues Statement on Government Shutdown

⏰ Midnight deadline! I'm a Mountain Democrat running to flip the Kentucky 6th and fight for affordable healthcare, protect Social Security, and stand up for working families. Every grassroots donation matters. Let’s finish this quarter strong! secure.actblue.com/donate/cs_tw

We know what Trump wants in #Portland & who he wants to be. He's not the Emperor. #ICE are like Stormtroopers, mask wearing incompetent lackeys we're meant to fear. @jim-stewartson.bsky.social writes we don't have to fall for their illusion of an unstoppable force. www.mind-war.com/p/fear-and-l...

Trump is authorizing the troops to use "Full Force, if necessary" against the people in #Portland because #Epstein files. Will the military give him the show of force that he wants? Like his parade? @thefarce.org @gottalaff.bsky.social @jim-stewartson.bsky.social

The administration has gone straight into Posting Mode without really even taking a more than a few seconds here and there to express sadness and grief for the person in detention who was murdered today. Trump’s statement on it doesn’t even mention it!

💙✊

The headline speaks for itself.

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

#ICEWar in Chicago now. #ICE agents are forcibly arresting people outside a ICE facility, plowing through protester & lobbing tear gas at reporters. clip @ronxyz.bsky.social Sept 19, 2025 7:35am CT @jim-stewartson.bsky.social @thefarce.org @gottalaff.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social
