Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

How MAGA sees things.

Trump playing up his bullet dodging skills at the Charlie Kirk memorial is really beyond parody.

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education. Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

You should read @joanwalsh.bsky.social on the utter vindictiveness of the Tish James indictment www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I spent years investigating senior-level corruption and misconduct at the Department of Justice. In 2019, Mr. Trump appointed me inspector general at the Interior Department, a position I held until January, when he fired me and many of my counterparts in other .. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Fact

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

Twice in one week the president stood in front of the military and called for their aid in eliminating his political opposition. Twice in one week.

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

Why do Donald and Melania hang out with so many people convicted of sex trafficking, prostitution and pedophilia?

Savoring every last drop of my summer hiatus ☀️🍹 before I’m back with something new for you 🎬✨ In the meantime, here’s a throwback that still sparkles 💫

A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears. My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

change my mind...

Pete Hegseth is a basically a meat cybertruck

Hegseth jfc

Pete Hegseth and Trump told military leaders they want U.S. cities treated as combat training grounds. As if that wasn’t disturbing enough, Ted Cruz said the quiet part out loud: “Democrats need to stop attacking pedophiles.” This is today’s GOP.

Hangover Pete kegsbreath playing sec of war

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Well said

Call Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, and ask him why he's protecting pedofiles and childhood sex traffickers. His official DC numbers are: (202) 225-4000 and (202) 225-2777 Bossier City office: (318) 840-0309 DeRidder office: (337) 226-6385 Leesville office: (337) 423-4232 Be relentless.

This is the biggest scandal in US history.

1 transgender shooter GOP: "We must institutionalize all transgenders!" 47,209 white male shooters GOP: "This is the cost of freedom."

Today is National Public Lands Day, a day for Maine people and folks across the country to celebrate America’s natural heritage and reaffirm our role as stewards of these lands for future generations. Admission is FREE to all national parks today — get out there and enjoy them!

Well now that parts of the Epstein Files are finally being released we know why friends of Donald Trump have been fighting non stop to suppress them. Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel were all taking pedophile island vacations

Paypal mafia members Peter Thiel and Elon Musk as well as the human scab Steve Bannon are in the Epstein files. Explains why MAGA are protecting pedophiles.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Our founders overthrew a king and created a new government on the basic principle that everyday life goes better when people have the power to choose their leaders - not the other way around.

Big shoutout to @esquiretheatre.com in Cincinnati, OH for running The Onion’s JEFFREY EPSTEIN: BAD PEDOPHILE! This is just one amazing reason to support local, independent cinemas!

ICE is abusing/torturing/disappearing/killing people using our tax dollars and in our name.

Oh really?

NEW: @repdangoldman.bsky.social and I are referring the ICE officer who assaulted an individual yesterday for felony prosecution. Shoving a bereft woman to the ground causing injuries is a criminal act and should be investigated as such. We demand accountability and an end to this lawless policy.

The Democrats should begin building a case for law and order -- for restoring the equal and moral administration of justice. Do it now, as Trump’s power grab reaches a tipping point. Promise to hold accountable anyone tempted to break the law in his name. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/23/i...

Oh see it in IMAX. Totally worth it. Also Sean Penn is back. Just a brilliant unhinged performance. In fact across the board excellent work by the cast.

This seems scary as hell. Tonight Vance said It’s common practice, it’s no big deal.” I’m pretty sure it’s a big deal. We aren’t paying enough attention. We still think it won’t happen here.

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

The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Get involved with @allontheline.bsky.social to take action on redistricting: mobilize.us/allontheline

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

If anything, autism causes Tylenol

THIS!!!!!! This guy is 100% correct. Give a listen.
