Second, it’s worth reading this excerpt from Frederick Douglass:

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Every Republican who goes on the Sunday shows tomorrow should be pressed to denounce this illegal and authoritarian proclamation from the president. And none of this "I didn't read the tweet" bullshit.

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.” I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion. Part I

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Trump: "You have a good independent running -- Mayor Adams, who's a very good person. I helped him out a little bit. He had a problem."

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

So just to recap: - Parents can force schools to erase LGBTQ+ existence because ??? - The Court's opinion on birthright citizenship is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - We're reverting back to the Articles of Confederation ig ??? Except our population is now 340 million and every court might be its own country.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

We will never surrender in the battle to protect birthright citizenship.

And right there is one of the reasons we bombed Iran. Pretext to get Netanyahu off the hook for his crimes.

Translation: We’re gonna make shit up, blast it out fast, and by the time the press catches on, it won’t matter. The lie will be everywhere, swallowed and weaponized by the right, locked in before the truth even gets a chance.

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Cannot believe this dogshit country gave the imbecilic host of celebrity apprentice this much power over life and death holy shit;

So, a Fox personality calls for ICE to go to Dodger Stadium and then it happens a couple of days later. Our leaders now just getting their marching orders from right wing media.

"Peace president."

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

The Trump admin told a federal judge that it does not intend to release Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil despite a ruling that he be let go

Donald practices dressing up for his birthday parade.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

Reached ZERO trade deals. Ended/stopped ZERO wars. Militarized troops AGAINST citizens.

Worth remembering.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people. Good morning

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

If you're a gringo invading a city with the Spanish name "Los Angeles," you are invading traditionally Hispanic land, which they took from Native Americans, instead of Hispanics invading YOUR land.

Sometimes I think the “this is just a distraction” crowd just can’t handle the chaos, and that’s their way of cooping. But this is our reality. All of it. We don’t get to pick one crisis at a time. Walk and chew gum.

Trump says his plan for FEMA is to give out less money and make the relief decisions himself
