Peaceful protest is the only path forward as violence causes average Americans to tune out and gives the administration a legit sounding excuse to brutalize civilians.

Almost 1 in 3 Americans didn't vote in 2024. This is what happens. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

$70 billion to rebuild, says the UN. But the human cost is beyond calculation. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

This is the video that has resulted in Trump calling for the execution of the Democratic senators involved. All former members of the military and intelligence community. For reminding others of their oath to the Constitution, and that patently illegal orders do not have to be obeyed.

This is my kind of good trouble.

It is an authoritarian tactic to wear down norms until things like this no longer provoke outrage.

Imagine a universe where the Biden administration arranged a buyout of Fox News so they could put in their favored hosts. 😶 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

At some point, I hope a list is compiled of everything. Because a lot gets lost amidst the chaos and for every crime we're aware of, I suspect there are magnitudes more that remain to be discovered.

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

"Last Friday, Trump instructed the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, to open an investigation into links between Epstein [and several Democrats]. The investigation could enable the justice department to withhold certain documents on the argument that releasing them would be prejudicial." -The Guardian

The president of the United States, acting like a preschooler who needs a time out in response to a question about the Epstein files.

I suspect something like this as well.

Powerful.

Democratizing the news, one path to combating the propoganda machine owned by billionaires that mainstream US media has become. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

MTG wants to be senator. Trump refused to back her, and that's when she became cognizant of normal people. Does she believe what she says? No. Does that matter though? None of us will ever support her and if she's bringing attention to the authoritarian takeover of the US, the more power to her.

If you can reduce the price of things by lowering tariffs (which the Trump administration claims it is about to do)... ...then when you raise tariffs, you raise the price of things (which Trump has denied is the case in the face of overwhelming evidence). Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Staggeringly gorgeous sunset looking toward the Olympic Mountains from West Seattle. ✨️

One of the most infamous predators of modern history said Donald Trump was the worst person he ever met. 😶 Hopefully that doesn't come as a surprise to any of us by now.

My Dad is a veteran, as were my grandfathers. They all made staggering sacrifices for what they believed in. Healthy democracies require active, informed citizens. This Veteran's Day, may we all remember those sacrifices and commit to participating in our country's democracy in honor of them. 🇺🇲

I'm so disgusted right now. Beyond words.

No words. 😔

@hcrichardson.bsky.social on the election results and Trump's resulting power grab. Definitely worth checking out. www.youtube.com/live/IjEj7St...

Accurate. 😔

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion. Trump refuses to spend it on the American people. The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina. Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

TODAY: Don't BOO... VOTE! ✅ CA: YES on PROP 50 ✅You poke the Bear, the Bear bites back! NJ: MIKIE SHERRILL for GOV. ✅ VA: ABIGAIL SPANBERGER for GOV. ✅ GHAZALA HASHMI for Lt. GOV. ✅ Let's All Stick Together & #StickItTo_tRUMP!!!!!

Voting to make the world a kinder, more inclusive place. ❤️

The more you know.

Hey man I think the President being at the Great Gatsby Halloween Party hosted at his golf course resort the night before SNAP runs out is a bit too on the nose, go do another pass at this scene

The administration has literally done recently exactly what it claims it can't do atm. May the lies and obfuscation catch up to them soon.

Reality doesn't care whether you believe in it or not. If you chose not to protect yourself and your family and those around you from deadly diseases, you'll discover why they're called deadly. The tragedy is that this level of willful ignorance affects everyone. 😑

I was just saying recently that The Guardian was reporting an average of 20 Palestinians being killed a day during the "ceasefire." Not much of a ceasefire. Also: were 20 Israelis being killed a day, the media universe would be on fire about it.

It's such a perversion that Trump is using elements of federal power designed to prevent the historic and ongoing voter suppression of minorities to instead further supress voters.

Amazon announced it was laying off 30,000 today due to "pandemic overhiring." This strikes me as BS as the pandemic was over ages ago. More likely, Amazon is suffering from tariffs and a declining broader economy but won't say that outloud for fear of making the whiny 2-year-old PotUS upset.

From economist Paul Krugman, who is not only brilliant but who served briefly in the Reagan administration and knows what he's talking about.

We had quite a wind storm in Seattle last night, but it knocked down surprisingly few limbs in my area. Unless you count this things limbs. 🙆

There was an article recently (I believe in The Guardian) which postulated that many Americans have been safe from disease and instability for so long they've lost track of what gave them that (science and the international order set up by the US after WW II). Which is why they no longer value it.

No president can declare tariffs unilaterally. Period. Trump is only forging ahead like this because MAGA Congress isn't doing their jobs.

6 billion in SNAP benefits for the most vulnerable Americans are about to be shut off but 40 billion was found recently to support an authoritarian buddy in South America. This. Is. Wrong.

Trump's claim he has a mandate is a lie. There were 267 million voting age adults in 2024. Trump got 77 million votes. Therefore: Less than 50% of voters chose him, and his votes represent 29% of voting age adults. His "mandate" is less than 1 in 3, similar to what Hitler had in the 1930s.
