The Justice Department and Deputy AG Todd Blanche are in some hot water over their handling of the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case. A federal judge found a "realistic likelihood" that Abrego is being subjected to a vindictive prosecution, citing comments by Blanche to Fox News. youtube.com/shorts/9iSJH...

Uh-oh Mike.

I live across the street from where these men were trained to #fightfascism. #TheRitchieBoys did so much important work in stopping #Hitler. The courage it took to go back to Germany is astounding! #WWII Here’s the trailer youtu.be/F0e_ZDlp6rw?... Here’s the complete movie link.tubi.tv/EyAyIyd50Wb

Interesting that Trump would announce he's sending troops to Portland with authorization for "Full Force" days before the nation's top military brass have been called to Quantico. A test to see who will oppose unlawful orders? Strikes on Venezuelan boats have already met resistance....

@repaprildelaney.bsky.social , compromising with an authoritarian regime is not the move right now. Stand up -- or stand aside.

Two years ago today, we lost my mom. Her wings were ready, but our hearts were not. 🪽 Dear Mama, Thank you for being my mom – for teaching me right from wrong, showing me what unconditional love looks like, and for always believing in me. I miss you every single day 💔

Two of my favorites together for one event! I can't wait to hear what Heather and Red Wine & Blue say about local elections this fall, and what we can do right now to resist authoritarianism. It's going to take all of us to make a difference, so sign up with me! social.redwine.blue/s/lC3eTaUJ

When it comes to the health, safety, and well-being of Marylanders and their loved ones, we’re not gonna play games or cause any unnecessary confusion.

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) on this moment. Not just the transcript but the video of a floor speech yesterday. A rallying cry:

When one of the afterlife destinations in your faith path becomes a political football. Words from Benjamin Kowalsky-Grahek, Ryan Smith, Jennifer Snook, and I. Thanks to Heather Greene for her hard work supporting Pagan representation in the news. #HeathenSky #PaganSky #Valhalla shorturl.at/QyPvp

Trump wants us to grow accustomed to unnecessary military presence in our communities. We cannot allow this to become the new normal. Hear the full interview with @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social on the latest ep of The Contrarian Pod: https://contrarian.substack.com/p/the-authoritarian-playbook-drones

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

I’m not a very religious person but I know a good sermon when I hear one. Pastor Wesley is taking us to church! PREACH! 🙌

Two things can be true at once. We can hate gun violence, and not wish it on anyone. And, we can be without sympathy or empathy for someone who used their pulpit and influence to stoke division, glory in the suffering of others, attack our values, and fan the flames of intolerance. (1/3)

LIVE NOW! We're live with Mehdi and Ilhan Omar discussing war powers, the Venezuela attack, Charlie Kirk, political violence and more. Don't miss out — tune in right now: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

“It's important for the people to recognize that we cannot just go out and terminate people. This is not something that is allowed under international law.” @repilhan.bsky.social tells Mehdi how her War Powers act can prevent Trump from launching drone strikes. Watch: zeteo.com/p/full-of-sh...

4 months ago, I became the first Senator to call for RFK Jr. to resign. Tomorrow, he will be on Capitol Hill. The question I would ask is simple: Will you accept personal responsibility for the children who have died and will die because of your vaccine conspiracy theories?

Just in case you need to get more fired up before witnessing the Epstein/Trump victims speaking shortly, here’s @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com impassioned opening from last night’s show: youtu.be/r8UG4wfLYMc?...

Today was a good day spent in #Maryland in the morning and then #DC this afternoon! Lots of great responses on the overpass organized by Frederick @indivisible.org! Then I went to join up with @flareusa.bsky.social at the National Labor Board Headquarters! @jollygoodginger.bsky.social was there! ✌️

I think the biggest highlight from today was a #NationalGuard soldier started laughing, to himself, when he saw my sign as I was heading into the metro. Dude, they seriously don’t want to be there doing this stupid 💩 they are being forced to do. Glad I could make him laugh. #DC #FreeDC #LaborDay

🚨 SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 18. Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade. As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on 10/18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

In three days, we visit Congress to tell them the regime must be removed. Release the Files. 📝 Drop us a note in the comments if you'll be there! #FuelTheFLARE #WeAreTheFlood #RemovalCoalition #FLARE247DC

Rest assured. The seeds of Trump’s destruction have already been sown. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-263

I’m going to keep saying it. RFK must resign or be fired. People will not only be sicker because of him; they will die.

Urgent update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia—and why his story represents both the dangers ahead and the victories still possible.

Our bipartisan Maryland delegation is urging the Administration to reverse its denial of FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency aid so our communities can recover and rebuild. Recovery shouldn’t be a partisan issue—it’s about standing by our communities when they need us most.

See you there!

Despite Trump's efforts to defy our Constitution, the courts are upholding Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s due process rights. Following their ruling I’m glad he’s finally returning to MD. He must be allowed to continue to assert his rights because when one person’s rights are denied, EVERYONE’S are at risk.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Thanks to all who rallied to bring Pastor Daniel Fuentes Espinal home after his unjust abduction from Maryland’s Eastern Shore. An important victory. There are many more like him. Keep up the fight!

Others of us are releasing our own stories of American history for the 250th. My team's videos are on my YouTube channel and Instagram, and honor "unity and progress" and "American values" just like Trump wants. Here, for example, is Mary McLeod Bethune defending the Constitution....

What a great series by @hcrichardson.bsky.social about #DemocracyInAction From these I can now #deepdive further into #history and learn about those who shaped the way and how we can improve what’s been happening in our future. #WeCanDoBetter #AmericanHistory youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Under Trump, veterans who served our nation with honor are losing access to the benefits they've earned—and for many transgender vets, that includes access to medically-necessary care. These patriots fought for us. Now, we're fighting for them.

Another cruel attack by the Trump Admin. The history books will look back on these attacks with shame, just like Don't Ask, Don't Tell. We're going to keep fighting to protect trans servicemembers' benefits & working to enact long-lasting protections for trans servicemembers.

80 Years After Hiroshima & Nagasaki, U.S. Keeps Covering Up Horrors of Atomic Bombing: Greg Mitchell

ICE sitting outside Frederick Health Hospital, reported around 11 a.m. on Sunday, July 27, 2025.

the difference between Dem politicians like Beshear & Walz (who say supportive things about LGBTQ ppl) and the Newsoms, Emanuels & other Dem politicians/pundits throwing trans ppl under the bus isn't "strategy", it's that the latter group is transphobic
