When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t. What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty. [street art from around the country]

The problem is that if you have corrupt people sitting on the Supreme Court, they’re not going to view corrupt things that people do as being corrupt.

Was in a cab yesterday and heard a radio report that MTG may join The View as a co-host once she leaves office. Giving that grifter that kind of platform is right up there with giving Trump his on The Apprentice. We need to stop normalizing demagoguery in this country.

I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period. Every corporation. Every Republican. Every influencer. Every Governor. Every evangelical leader. Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

🤷🏼

Has anyone seen Mike Johnson’s balls?

They think we’re all so stupid

Let’s be clear: no one should be privately concerned about Trump. Get loud!

“Vengeance capitalism,” says @basilsmiklephd.bsky.social . Absolutely correct, sir!

Fascists and crackers never have a sense of humor.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

If you’re angry about the NBA, but not about what Trump and the GOP are doing, bless your heart. I’ll pray for your soul.

People refusing to let a Nazi tattoo make them reassess their priors is really something. Being able to process new information and update your beliefs, or at least your arguments, accordingly isn't just a sign of maturity, it's a sign of intelligence.

📌Republicans have all three branches of government. They could reopen that government anytime they want to. This is THEIR shutdown to appease their grotesque, heartless cult leader, who wants to bring pain and suffering to Americans. Incredible this isn't pointed out every five minutes or so.

Almost without exception, Republican men in Congress are just so….small.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Seems like a reasonable request

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Seven million of us are completely in touch with what’s going on and willing to say so publicly. We all know a minimum of one other person who would also say it loud and proud if only we invited them to join us. That would be 14 million. Think about it y’all, and make some good trouble!

This!!!!!

Spotted at Raleigh No Kings, literally made me laugh. We're all in this shit together! FDT!!!! Proud of you Raleigh! #nokings #raleigh

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Maybe THIS is what happened to the old Republican Party when it was just about policy differences not pro-fascist BS and pedophilia. The Young Republicans ate them all.

JD Vance is wrong.

Public Service Announcement: Quite simply, if you say bigoted, white supremacist things out loud anywhere within my earshot, I will call you out, loud and proud. Time’s up. White silence in these times is violence.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

thank you brett kavanaugh!

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

He needs to go to prison for his crimes.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

This strikes me as pretty bad

Thanks, New Yorker

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

The “enemy within” ….hmm who dat?

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

The great Dakota artist Oscar Howe's 1959 painting of Wounded Knee. No matter what Whiskey Pete says, it was a massacre not a battle.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.
