After Butler’s conviction and sentencing, the D.A. & judge granted him “youthful offender status.” Now his punishment is no jail, no social media, 150 hours of community service, 1 year probation, & no sex offender registry. You can’t even find his mug shot. This is America. 2/2

This is Jesse Mack Butler from Oklahoma. Butler r*ped two teen girls over a period of 9 months, nearly killed them by strangulation, which was recorded on video. Butler was convicted of 11 counts of r*pe and sexual assault and was sentenced to 78 years in prison. But he will serve 0 jail time 1/2

Valuable reporting here. I think the key thing is the use of Venezuela to accustom American armed forces to lawless murder. The goal then is to get them to do the same thing inside the US. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Debunking a US official's claim that ICE arrest video is old

Just the visual equivalent of the constant verbal diarrhea his unleashes every day

No, bro — It’s not “cancel culture”, it’s consequence culture. Stephen Smith isn’t being “canceled,” he’s being called out.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

A FIGHTER JET RAINING SHIT

Compare that enormous crowd of people who showed up to criticize Trump yesterday to the number of people who showed up in DC in June to celebrate him when he threw his pathetic, vanity military parade for his birthday.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

He was so butthurt by millions protesting his authoritarian regime, he posted an AI clip of him in a fighter jet dumping crap on people exercising their constitutional rights. It’s the kind of reaction you would expect from a mentally unhinged lunatic or a petulant child. Not a President.

In the history of the House of Representatives there are no parallels to what Mike Johnson is doing to Rep Grijalva.This is all new ground. Johnson has also had the House in recess the longest since 1948. His actions are unprecedented. His legacy will be of failure, obstruction and lies #ProudBlue

Holy “parallel establishment”. “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is sounding the alarm about the Trump administration’s approval of a new bank backed by two GOP megadonors, tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey” … 1/ www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Say it loud and say it proud!

Another Friday night DOJ purge.

Those glossy GOP mailers flooding your mailbox are paid for by PA’s richest billionaire—designed to trick you into voting NO so they can rig our Supreme Court for themselves. Vote YES to RETAIN to keep our courts fair. ⚖️ #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #PACourtsMatter

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

When will Chicago police say, "Enough?" www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/p...

Several of the “kids” involved in this group chat were between the ages of 24-35 Fun fact: JD Vance is 41 These are his PEERS Has anybody checked HIS direct messages from 6 years ago? Because we know-as recently as last year-he was making up racist lies about Haitian immigrants

#ProudBlue Rev. Black is the pastor who was shot in the head last week with a pepper bullet. That was not enough to make him stop fighting for his neighbors - he’s back fighting today. He is truly doing the Lord’s work.

We've now entered the "your mom" comeback phase of this administration. That was WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's response when a journalist from HuffPost asked who decided on Hungary as the meeting place for Putin/Trump meeting. #DefendersOfDemocracy From The Daily Beast:

"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Republicans in charge of Congress have abdicated all responsibility for governing the nation to Trump. There are no checks. There are no balances. No Kings.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

🚨 I do not know when or where, but it doesn’t matter. This is depravity. This is a child. Those are state employed monsters. There is nothing normal about being “okay” with doing this job. 1/2

Choosing Hungary as the place to meet Putin is one of the most outrageous and illiberal acts of this new Trump era. It’s another extraordinarily gift to Putin, an insult to our allies and Zelenskyy, and should be forcefully denounced by leaders in both parties here in America.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers. It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

It's DEF Con 1 For American Democracy: All Hands on Deck! Trump is declaring war against Americans, striking Venezuela, musing about the Insurrection Act, and unleashing ICE to terrorize Americans. The white nationalist regime is gunning for total power. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

People Power at the polls may be only thing that can save Bucks County now from this dangerous ICE 287(g) agreement. Vote for Danny Ceisler for Sheriff. And support immigrants in the community & orgs that advocate & fight for them like @maketheroadpa.bsky.social @naacpbucks.bsky.social @aclupa.org

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

It was an honor attending the Dem Party of Orange County’s @dpoc.bsky.social event featuring DNC Vice Chair & PA State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social! He spoke about Ds’ messaging to “make life better”; power of organizing locally; Ds over performing; & GOTV for YES ON PROP 50!

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists. I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

Interesting situation in Maine: The establishment got Gov. Janet Mills to challenge Susan Collins. Mills is 78. Gordon Platner, 41, an oyster farmer and veteran, is drawing support from young and old, including Bernie Sanders, but not the establishment, in a microcosm of the party. #ProudBlue

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Twerp Mike Johnson admits the Republicans shut down the government to try to kill the affordable care act . We knew this all along. For years they and #felonTrump have claimed to have a better plan. Not one fucking proposal. #TrumpShutdown #DV1 #ProudBlue open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Tish James is an American hero.

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.

The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign. Here's my latest >>> www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/m...
