Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Consultant-driven messaging about healthcare while your neighbors are being disappeared, he takes bribes for pardons, he impounds federal funds, and he tore down an entire wing of an historic building he doesn’t own. When will Congress focus on the primary crisis

Reno, NV, we love you ❤️ #NoKings @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Just saw this demand for impeachment from @repcohen.bsky.social. Rep. Cohen can co-sponsor any of the three articles of impeachment already filed, or he could file his own under Rule IX.

Hi @wgntv.com would you please update us on Debbie’s whereabouts and wellbeing and let us know when you’ll be suing DHS for violating the First Amendment

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

That’s an impeachable offense.

It's this, except with our entire politics and the actual Union hanging in the balance.

The zinnias are going nuts in this cooler weather. Yay autumn! #flowers #autumn

Toodle-loo motherfuckers! (Also this is horrifying, they didn’t look twice at the white guy on the bike nearby)

Funny because it’s true. A🧵 about the grifting losers who surround Trump

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

Hope for today, as we slog through mortal existence

shit ain’t over til it’s over

♥️🇳🇱

I expected the tyranny and the blustering and the mockery of everything they’ve ever claimed America was supposed to stand for what I didn’t expect was the depth and speed of the capitulation at every level

A reporter just asked the U.S. president a perfectly legitimate question about his attorney general's vow to prosecute people for constitutionally protected speech. He responded by threatening to prosecute the reporter. The threat itself is an abuse of power. It ought to be an impeachable offense.

A real leader would remind us that the vast majority Americans do not hate each other. That what unites us is greater than what divides us. That violence is not a solution. But Trump is going to use this as an opportunity to suppress critics who had nothing to do with this crime and condemn it.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s... The US Tennis Association is obeying in advance. NYC, tell Shitler how you feel about him

My mom — who is in her 70s and immunocompromised — could not get her vaccines today. RFK Jr. is lying when he says he's not making harder to get vaccines.

Thank you Defector for the explainer. This shit is why I have to drive to CA for my vaccine appointment

Guys don’t do this, don’t give me hope

isnt it cool and fun how we make 10year olds live through insane fucking trauma like this instead of regulating the nra's penis substitutes?

Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.

trump fires* lisa cook *claims to have fired any news outlet saying otherwise is manufacturing consent 😇

💯we cannot “wait for the midterms” this is a five alarm fire

Just so we’re keeping score & everyone understands where we are now: you live in a country where there are two tiers of citizenship, the government is sending people to concentration camps, the president sets the policies of elite universities, & there are security checkpoints in the capital city.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

I cannot wait till the next time precinct walkers for CCM or Rosen come to my door, asking for my vote. This goes on the same shit list as voting to confirm Aileen Cannon and supporting the Laken Riley Act

Ka’ila Farrell-Smith grew up deeply involved in the fight for Indigenous rights. “I’ve been warned my entire life, ‘The FBI’s watching us.’” Now the agency is focused on her and a new generation of activists challenging a lithium mine in Nevada.

Andry José Hernández Romero after hugging his best friend, who had been relentless in pleading for his cause. I’ll stop posting these some day. But not today.

this gave me so much joy today

It’s quick and it’s easy. They work for you - do not be intimidated by these fools.

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices. Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire

Oh my god, do I have to subscribe to Murdoch-owned WSJ for doing actual journamalism? After I cancelled NYT and WaPo for sanewashing fascists?

This is impeachable and in a healthy democracy would result in removal by Monday.

I feel the same. Once the DOGE bullshit started, I remember telling my mom that this country would not be made right in her lifetime and might not be made right in mine. She started to cry. I know how she feels. Best you can do is set an example for younger folks and make your ancestors proud.

We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades. #AlligatorAlcatraz #NeverAgainIsNow

just looked up the Nebraska county where the hospital just closed because of the impending Medicaid cuts. it voted for Trump 84-15

It’s been a couple of months and still we don’t know what happened to Andry Hernandez Romero. His abduction is illegal and immoral, and it disheartens me beyond words that we’ve forgotten about him. I hope he survives this depravity.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details
