Vote NYC for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social starting tomorrow!

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

It is actually quite shocking how quickly and effortlessly Trump brought the democracy to its knees.

🚨 For a president to unilaterally claim power to jail people for expression he doesn’t like is not “law and order.” It’s authoritarianism. Once a president claims the power to criminalize dissent by decree, nothing stops them from criminalizing any dissent.

A president can’t invent crimes by decree. Burning the flag is protected speech. Claiming the power to jail people for dissent isn’t patriotism—it’s authoritarianism. #Democracy #FirstAmendment

This latest proposal doesn’t comport with the law. 31 U.S.C. § 5114 — Engraving and Printing Currency and Security Documents: (b)... Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities. www.foxbusiness.com/politics/us-...

Everything with Trump is a projection. Talk about dangerous rhetoric…

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Speaker Johnson is still refusing to swear in Arizona’s new Democratic congresswoman. If one seat can be held hostage now, imagine 2027: a Trump-loyal House blocking an entire Dem majority. This is the blueprint for minority rule. Outrage isn’t enough — action is needed NOW. #DemocracyInDanger

Johnson dragging his feet on swearing in Arizona’s new Dem. congresswoman isn’t just a delay — it’s a warning. If a Speaker can stall one member, what’s to stop a Trump-loyal House from refusing to seat an entire Dem. majority in 2027? This is the same playbook Trump tried with Pence on Jan. 6th.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social Please cover this: Article I, Sec. 5 lets the House judge elections/qualifications. What if a Trump-loyal Speaker refused to seat Dems in 2027? Powell v. McCormack limits exclusion, but bad-faith delay = crisis. Legal remedies/strategy? #SistersInLaw

Trump appointed one of his loyalists as temporary U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after Erik Seibert resigned amid pressure to indict Letitia James. A former U.S. attorney called Seibert’s ouster “characteristic of authoritarianism.”

Democracy doesn’t vanish overnight—it erodes piece by piece. Silenced voices. Soldiers in our streets. Power traded for profit. On October 18, we say enough. Join the No Kings protest. Peaceful. Defiant. Our future depends on it. #NoKings #Democracy #Freedom #Protest #StandTogether #Trump

That aged poorly.

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles. Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator. Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

🧵🚨The DOJ is sending Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche—yes, one of the top law enforcement officials in the country—to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker serving 20 years in federal prison. #Breaking #Epstein #TrumpCrimeFamily #EpsteinCoverUp #DOJ #Maxwell

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Truly remarkable nomination. He’s been a lawyer for less than 2 yrs; he cannot possible have experience leading meaningful internal investigations; and he is a deplorable white nationalist with views entirely incompatible with the job for which he’s been nominated.

He doesn’t know what’s in this bill and he doesn’t care …

#SCOTUS inched the U.S. closer to a Christofascist state today—one ruling at a time.

A drug called lenacapavir, administered in two injections a year, offers protection from HIV comparable to daily pills. One looming question: Will it be affordable for lower resource countries?

Political scientists have a name for this: democratic backsliding. And history tells us that once a leader starts using the military as a domestic political tool, the damage to democracy accelerates fast. #DemocracyUnderThreat #AuthoritarianismAlert #Trump2025 #WeTriedToTellYou

Trump: we gonna have troops everywhere. What is the bar for sending them? Trump: the bar is what I think it is.

This guy is just a jackass

Trump’s suggestion of punitive actions against a private citizen for supporting democrats is a patent abuse of power which violates the constitutional prohibition against using government authority to retaliate against political expression.

It’s difficult to comprehend how we lost our way so fast and so far…

“Elon and I had a great relationship,” he said. “I don’t know if we will anymore.” -Trump

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

#Trump just shared a post claiming that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by “clones,” “doubles” and robots. This is not something anyone should tolerate. A team of medics should be rushing in to evaluate his mental health.

Folks don’t miss a beat 😂

Sadly, I think this is what MAGA really wants…

They saw this, then put Musk in charge of gutting our gov’t and shelving int’l aid.

Did someone secretly replace his meds with jelly beans?

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

Are they going to paint it orange and put fake gold poles in the cars?

This is sure to go over well w our Commander-in-Cuckoo…

What’s next? I hate a cliffhanger …

So there was a high profile killing in DC - def appears targeted and cruelly antisemitic - but now the dystopian reality we are living in is waiting for a related press conference w DC top prosecutor Jeanine Pirro 🫣. How sober can she be at this hour?!?!
