Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Americans are speaking up — loudly and clearly. The sleeping giant of America is up and roaring. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-awakens

THE GOP ARE STARVING PEOPLE ON PURPOSE. I'm giving my Monday nights to a local Maine food bank. OH, and VOTING DEMS.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Ice agents crashing into US citizens then forcibly detaining them. They don’t know how to hold guns. They clearly don’t have any training. They obviously aren’t following the laws. This is embarrassing for our country and dangerous for our citizens.

Newsom: After poking the bear, this bear roared with unprecedented turnout in a special election.

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

And they're getting a paid vacation! 🤬

Good night peeps, sweet dreams.

DEMS WIN KEY RACES IN NYC, VA AND NJ! ALSO A DEM FLIPS HOUSE SEAT IN 35TH DISTRICT UN FLORIDA!!!

Which charity will he give our money to? The Help a Billionaire Foundation?

Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.

📌NEW Kaiser Family Foundation Poll: 78% of Americans say Congress should EXTEND enhanced ACA tax credits, including 57% of MAGA. 📌Republicans in Congress are NOT listening to their base, or the majority of Americans during THEIR shutdown.

People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc? Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar. Are the farmers catching on yet?

📌Every hour the Trump shutdown continues, the more people will learn just how badly Republicans are fucking them, and standing up for billionaires. Oh … and that they will do literally ANYTHING to keep us from seeing the Epstein Files. They have overplayed a really bad (bruised) hand.

He’s plotting a power grab while families are figuring out how to pay rent and buy groceries during the shutdown. Trump first, America last.

To be clear, what Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump meant was that the military is not white enough or alpha male enough. They believe DEI has given people of color and women the upper hand. That’s what they were saying. However, these visuals don’t drive their POV home.

“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.” 📌These “dangerous cities” Trump was talking about, of course, are in the country he governs, because NOTHING excites him more than attacking America. 📌He's a lowlife, a traitor, and belongs in jail. My latest ...

The right wants to make a big deal out of Kristi Noem being denied access to a police bathroom in Illinois. They cast themselves as victims while they kidnap people. They’re trying to incite a shootout between ICE and police so Trump can declare martial law to prevent release of the Epstein Files.

This is a fierce ruling against Trump from a judge he appointed.

Proj2025 is alive and well and running the WH. Trump said, "Don't cut Medicaid." Proj2025 said, "Cut Medicaid!" Proj2025 won. Not about "values." Not about "conservatism". THE WEALTHY WANT THEIR TAX CUTS! Proj2025 is how they force us to pay them. INCLUDING RIPPING APART THE MARKETPLACE!

Sen. Andy Kim: "I heard a lot of Republican Senators saying they're concerned about ACA prices going up...The reason Speaker Mike Johnson didn't bring the House back into session is because...he knows a number of his Republican House members want to vote for ACA support."

“Pete Hegseth won’t allow us to join the army anymore, but he did say we’re qualified for ICE. It’s probably because of my beard.”

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

Fat Hitler is going to bankrupt us all. “Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America.”

Is there anyone else out there who thinks we should get together and file a class action lawsuit suit against Trump for mental anguish? I don’t know about any of you but I can’t remember any other time I’ve ever felt this much anguish and hopelessness about my country. #TrumpClassActionSuit

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

If women were afraid for their safety on the grounds of the White House behind metal fences, that seems to be the fault of adjudicated rapist Donald Trump.

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment "My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

The Washington Post is reporting that Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals and admirals. This is unprecedented and dangerous. Wtf is going on?!

REPORTER: Secretary Hegseth is inviting military leaders from all over the world to a big meeting TRUMP: I think it's great. Why, is there something wrong with it? Why is that such a big deal?
