Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

It looks like Trump finally found a prosecutor who is willing to go after James Comey: A former insurance lawyer who has never handled a criminal case. The only way to protect our rights from Trump’s regime is to exercise our rights. Join us to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Kimmel's show put together a montage of Trump insisting dozens of times yesterday to "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." Complete insanity.

It's essential that Jimmy Kimmel mocked Trump's censorship efforts during his return last night. This sends the message that the more powerful cultural and societal backlash is against Trump and MAGA, not the other way around. (More below.)

10/10 No Notes

After many Republicans insisted that Trump wasn’t involved in the FCC’s decision to go after Jimmy Kimmel, Trump just admitted it. Tell your representative that it’s time to investigate government censorship and FCC Chair Brendan Carr: act.indivisible.org/...

Kimmel standing up for journalism was an added bonus.

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile. But this episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2008...

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

"More than a million people had canceled Disney streaming subscriptions as of Monday, the Disney source told me, and the company likely knew that trend would only continue the longer they kept Kimmel silenced." @marisakabas.bsky.social w/ a doozy. 👀

"The "God Bless the USA Bible" ... includes only the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10), intentionally leaving out Amendments 11-27, which includes those that abolished slavery, gave women the right to vote, and protected voting rights."

Angry liberal white woman here. 😠🆓🙎‍♀️

Local news is doing an excellent job on the ICE campaign in our city. This from the @chicago.suntimes.com is an especially detailed status report that says: -ICE is becoming more aggressive -The govt is NOT mostly arresting known criminals -Inhumane conditions at Broadview immigration lockup

The father—who's lived in the U.S. for over two decades and has an active asylum application—was reportedly driving with his daughter when he called his wife and said someone seemed to be following them. When they got home, agents got hold of the child. trib.al/m5PeQH8

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Trump’s family has doubled its worth, with Trump experiencing “the most lucrative year of his life” thanks mostly to crypto. The American people are sick and tired of fighting to survive while billionaires get richer. Join us for the next nationwide day of defiance: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The lead story on the Fox “News” website involves a UN escalator stopping, which forced the Trumps to walk up the stairs. 1/2

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Researching a newsletter item about Tom Homan and it's remarkable how this story from just last year was tossed down the memory hole www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

October 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave — but if we want to be free, then we’ve got to be brave. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

NEWSWEEK: “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has said it will defy California's new "No Secret Police Act," which restricts law enforcement officers from masking their identities during operations.” www.newsweek.com/ice-masks-ga...

Last night in LA… Nightmare fuel on a freeway wall.

Trump is being very open and public with his corrupt order that AG Pam Bondi prosecute his enemies precisely because he wants potential critics to fear they could be next. Classic authoritarian intimidation. On the pod, @swin24.bsky.social is so illuminating on this: newrepublic.com/article/2007...

Remember in August 2016 when Trump said Melania would hold a news conference “over the next couple of weeks” to explain her immigration history? That was 3,332 days ago. We're still waiting.

🤑🦹‍♂️ "Sold by a supplement company owned by… Dr. Oz."

COME ON. This Dr. Oz scheme might be the worst grift of the entire Trump admin and that's saying something. It's not only lining your pockets with taxpayer funds but promoting an unproven treatment for autism instead of taking time to do appropriate research. Shameful all the way around.

I made the mistake of venturing onto Facebook… Where HHS no longer seems to know how to spell acetaminophen. Of course, that’s the least troubling part of their proclamations.

Trump at 35% approval on "free speech" in new Economist/YouGov poll.

Goebbles or Miller?

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Trump: "Asceda -- well, let's see how we say that. Ascenem -- enophin. Acetaminophen. Is that okay?"

Another reason we can’t do without @atrupar.com

This moment calls for brave, every day people standing against what they KNOW to be wrong. "When masked, armed, unidentified gunmen are standing in the parking lot of our local shopping centers, this is not how we lawfully and ethically enforce our laws. I will not be silenced." 🎥 @NBCNewYork

I’m at a community meeting about resisting ICE in Chicago. There are about 400 people in this high school auditorium. Chicago is showing up.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

www.cnn.com/2025/09/19/p... Jones, Klein, and other pundits can blather on about civility and debate as much as they want. This dude created a watchlist that has academics I know on it, and they received harassment and threats as a result. Aside from everything else he said and did, the watchlist

However you define political violence, the right is responsible for more of it. The Anti-Defamation League (hardly a left-wing org) found that all “domestic extremist-related killings” in 2022 were done by right-wing extremists, the vast majority (84%) white supremacists. trib.al/SaMpxtS

Trump is destroying America. Trump is destroying America. Trump is destroying America. Trump is destroying America. Trump is destroying America.

Let's retain enough of a sense of outrage to be appalled when Trump ousts a prosecutor because he wouldn't indict Trump's political opponents. This is mobster behavior by the president of the United States. We can't accept it.

The Washington Post has fired its last full-time Black opinion columnist, who says it was because they didn’t like what she posted after Charlie Kirk’s shooting. trib.al/bqvSXjB

Americans, by huge margins want Russia out of Ukraine & Israel out of Gaza. We want the bloodshed to end. Donald Trump knew that last year. That’s why he told us he would end both wars on day one when he campaigned for office. But that promise was a lie. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

tear gas and more pepper balls deployed outside the broadview ice facility. agents detained two more people. protesters were blocking the driveway so agents, including border patrol’s bortac team, violently pushed protesters and allowed one vehicle to leave and another to enter.

. And I'm going to post this cartoon by @anntelnaes.bsky.social so the world never forget what Trump did . . . ... #January6th should have meant the end ! 💠 👊 💠

🚨read this about how the White House is demanding biographical information about people interviewed for news stories on issues related to trump. All these experts have had the same experience. Read their posts. It’s another way the WH is intimidating people. Chilling stuff.

It is remarkable how few national Dems have been willing to put themselves on the front lines here.

Life in our times. Message to a friend from a family-owned, well-reviewed home-repairs company, about coming to fix a roofing problem. (I know this company and know that they have closed.)
