I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Prime Minister of Greenland: Sovereignty is a red line. Our integrity, our borders, and international law are definitely, definitely a red line that we don’t want anyone to cross.

Primary ALL of them. Supporting violent, masked state police is inexcusable, especially after all the videos have shown them to be domestic terrorists who constantly ride roughshod over both people and the Constitution.

For Palestinians in Gaza, Phase 2 of the ceasefire offers little hope that it will fundamentally change the status quo Israel has established over the past three months, which many refer to as "a new form of genocide."

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

My deepest fear is not that we fail to survive this moment—it’s that we survive it only to return to the status quo that made it possible....The point is not to get back to normal. Normal is how we got here. Adam Bonica data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-wall-l...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

So many calls to invoke the 25th Amendment. Section 3 ain't happening. It calls for action from the President. Section 4 ain't happening. It calls for action from those whose self-interest, financial, and political power depend on Trump in office. constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay...

Here's a groundbreaking report that examines how countries around the world have successfully expanded abortion access and protected reproductive rights. The reports offer U.S.-based policymakers proven strategies to counter restrictions and treat abortion as essential health care.

Found ten propaganda accounts for y’all to block.

...we should never underestimate authoritarians....this was a momentous occasion staged for four distinct audiences: foreign powers, the United States military, United States civilian authorities, and the American people. (Ruth Ben-Ghiat) bit.ly/42p2yxO

Can we get some focus on the perfidy of Speaker Mike Johnson? So much of Trump’s excesses are made possible because Johnson has disabled the House as a check on the President. He has handed Trump his gavel symbolically and in reality. We need to focus on Trump’s enablers.

"...foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor...captured the larger story of Trump’s speech. 'A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

I don't know which is crazier--the complaint itself or Trump's declaration that this "worst and most degenerate newspaper" is a "virtual 'mouthpiece' for the Radical Left Democrat party." Flunked another reading comprehension test, bud.

"Charlie Kirk represented the very worst American political discourse had to offer, and I wish he were still alive so I could say that to him, to his face, over and over again. I wish he lived long enough to see everything that he worked to achieve crumble all around him." ...Elie Mystal, The Nation

some more fair and balanced reporting (not hard to do): www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are watching an unprecedented public rejection of federal law enforcement (and, increasingly, by extension, the National Guard as well). It is not hard to see why the public is reacting so strongly to ICE’s abrupt takeover of daily life in America. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-is-eat...

History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.

I consume a good amount of normie, center-left political content (New Yorker, NYTimes, Atlantic, Bulwark, Hayes, Maddow, etc.) produced mostly by people who've been in the US politics biz for over 2 decades...and in the past month there's been a noticeable shift in tone and urgency.

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

“Coercing a university president to issue a scripted public apology isn’t enforcement—it’s extortion. It’s the same tactic organized crime always uses: Demand submission, humiliate and make an example of one victim to scare others. That has no place in a democracy, much less in higher education.”

DOE formally accused George Mason University of discriminatory DEI policies, demanded a public apology from President Washington, and ordered specific changes in university operations. GMU's AAUP issued a strong two-page response: drive.google.com/file/d/1Joog...

Virginia Senate alumni stand with GMU President Gregory Washington. We reject the political attacks on his leadership and call on the U.S. Department of Education to end its sham investigation. Our students deserve better.
