This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

when i say that i yelped in shock at this kid’s sign

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Okay, one king

Kinda disappointed my local #NoKings didn't have the inflatable Frog - but we did have a shark, unicorn, bear and chicken. Plus a 10ish foot tall skeleton that looked like a Jim Henson creature. And hundreds of us no-costume normies.

Robby did a day of activism in PDX, detained for an hour, claims trespass charge, is already back on a plane & has raised $75k of an absurd $110k ask. Stop donating. This dude better be handing over a sizeable chunk of this to people who need it, like our local legal defense fund. Or its a grift.

If I follow you and you re-post any of their rage bait posts into my feed that’s an instant unfollow. Don’t give these fascist weirdos oxygen.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

it’s honestly astonishing in this day and age when republicans experience consequences for their actions

I suspect the Roberts Court will use the Shadow Docket to permit and protect Donald Trump’s use of the National Guard to harass political enemies. Maybe without comment, maybe with something bizarre and otherworldly from Kavanaugh.

They want a gd who tells them it’s ok to hurt and kill the people they hate and if they don’t get one they’ll just make one up bsky.app/profile/diew...

I never again want to hear House Republicans disparage people they claim are too lazy to work

Did I just take next Friday off solely because a video game is finally launching into Alpha Access? Yes, yes I did. I need peace and quiet to spend some time in Evershine.

The fact that this totally bonkers sentence is 100% true absolutely breaks my brain

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Samuel Alito preparing to raise absolutely the craziest flag you've ever seen at his Long Beach Island compound.

give us your tired your poor your huddled masses NO NOT LIKE THAT

To the extent anyone cares, the legality of tapping into tariff money is identical to the legality of tapping into federal income tax money, because they are both taxes that accrue to the treasury. Appropriations are still needed to spend it

the amount of time conservatives spend thinking about childrens genitals is legit crazy

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Maybe someone should ask Mike Johnson if he's been in Rep Dave Taylor's office and seen the Nazi American flag flying in a staffer's cube.

"Tear the party apart" is editorializing. It's also a tenor that suggests it's bad to primary a sitting senator. Remember how i say the media is biased to the status quo?

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...

Meanwhile, Justice Gorsuch is nodding along to oral arguments at the Supreme Court about how there’s no racism in politics anymore

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

One of them was a Catholic high school guidance counselor!

I'm also delighted to see that the AHA has awarded its Tikkun Olam Prize for promoting public historical literacy to @jamellebouie.net

He is 100% correct — the current Supreme Justices have fully vindicated the man who went on television in 2007 and said, “Well, you know, they call you KKK. They did me. I think it’s an honor, right? Means we’re doing something.”

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

What an offensive statement from so-called historians. There have been others who have been chased out of the country. Mohamed Abdou was deported for his teaching about Gaza…and he was a prof AT COLUMBIA! But he was queer, Muslim, brown & untenured. Do only white straight tenured profs get sympathy?

Why are your electric bills suddenly 30-50% higher, you ask?

All because on Friday Trump threatened 100% tariffs on China, then over the weekend he switched it up with, “Don’t worry about China, it’ll all be fine.” Not market manipulation, though. Right?

Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

I wonder if all the people braying about the "war on Christianity" might raise some objections if it were a *Democratic* administration who had its armed thugs shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and waiting outside Catholic Churches to disappear parishioners?

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January * 100s starved to death, including kids * Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel * US citizens murdered in the West Bank I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Unprecedented corruption

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Mike Johnson is falsely generalizing the “No Kings” protestors as extremists to justify crackdowns. The truth is, they’re patriots. These protestors don’t “hate America.” They oppose an authoritarian president who tramples on the freedoms and principles America was founded on.

That a politician would be standing up for trans people in this moment is deeply important and meaningful.

This is why there can be no deals. Make the GOP pass their own bill. Or get resignations in exchange for votes. (And make sure the resignations come first!)

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.

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

I truly don’t understand living through the DOGE experience and being like “great model, a+, no notes”
