Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

I discovered these tech billionaires helped to destroy the East Wing! Shame!

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Grocery prices certainly are falling. 🙄 It never was about grocery prices though, was it? #Liar #SaveOurDemocracy #Inflation #Pinks

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

It's like they're determined to give Democrats so much to work with they just get paralyzed trying to choose.

2023: Gov. Bill Lee signs record tax break for corporations 2024: Lee signs new record tax giveaway for corporations ($2B most of which went out of state) 2025, Jan: Lee signs $1.1B voucher handout to private school parents 2025, Oct: Lee says state can’t afford to feed kids

The United States is the only wealthy industrialized country where a significant portion of the population lacks health insurance and faces financial ruin from medical costs.  And …To allow children to starve is unconscionable and unforgivable🤬

SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

Oversight Dems aren’t letting up on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Release the files, NOW.

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

Lead front-page story in today's NYT Time-travel dept: -I don't remember front-page NYT stories "It's 1993, and GOP Is Still Running Against Clinton." That's what they did, for huge mid-term win. -Nor "It's 2009, and GOP Is Still Running Against Obama." Which they did, for huge win. Weird.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

It’s impossible to imagine a right-wing equivalent to large, nationwide rallies like No Kings. It’s nice to remember that we have numbers.

Leah and I just got off the stage in DC. More than 200k. Double what we saw for Hands Off! This movement is incredible. We’re better than fear. We’re braver than billionaires. We’re bigger than ever. And we will win. #NoKings

Waltham MA- small city- protesters of all ages on both sides of the street around the block- joyous, inflatable characters, music- this is what democracy looks like #nokings

NOT-SO-FUN FACT: Instead of supporting domestic farmers, Trump is now DOUBLING the taxpayer-funded bailout for Argentina, bringing the total to a whopping $40 billion. That’s nearly TWICE the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for an entire year!

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

The back of your ballot matters just as much as the front! #ProtectPACourts by flipping your ballot over to vote YES to RETAIN Justices Donohue, Dougherty, Wecht, and Judges Dubow and Wojcik! #VotePA #PACourtsMatter

If you’re in New Jersey and not yet registered to vote, do it today! Voters have until the end of the day to register in time to help choose the state’s next governor.

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

I think every single Democrat house member should be in DC - sitting in their House seats- demonstrating their willingness to work for their constituents. And holding looping press conferences in the hallway.

Wow, Google has withdrawn its support from factchecking organisation @fullfact.org It’s been one of the largest funders but now has cut its financial support. I’m pretty sure this is so misinformation can run rife. You can support them by donation

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

FBI's Ten Most Wanted

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

This is the way.

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

This Is Fascism

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

obsessed with the antifascist frogs in Portland, I hope they continue to multiply 🙏

🤷🏽‍♂️ 🇺🇸 💰

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election? Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official. Be warned.

never shoot a hot priest.

Mother fucker! The House has been in session only 15 days since July. Its October! GOP are loser slackers! Imagine if you only showed up to your job 15 days in 4 months. They get 175k a year in salary. #GOPShutdown

BREAKING: Masked Border Patrol agents aggressively arrested WGN video producer Debbie Brockman in Lincoln Square Friday morning, supposedly for "obstructing justice." (Video via Josh Thomas on Facebook) Follow @heartlandsignal for more.

ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”

PORTLAND: “The frogs are multiplying” (#NotAWarZone Noem Matter what Kristi says)

I continue to just respect the hell out of this guy

It's long past time to turn down the temperature. Religious leaders facing violence for peaceful protest should be a wake up call — this is not normal, and it's unAmerican.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"
