LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

"Bondi’s contemptuousness was designed to send a clear message: You have no power to stop us. Refusal to even entertain the questions of committee Democrats should have been cause for bipartisan scandal. But committee Republicans seemed perfectly uninterested..." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

5 months ago I wrote this thread, and now more than ever this skeet is speaking to me. ICE DOESN'T BELONG IN OUR CITIES. NG DOESN'T BELONG IN OUR CITIES.

Government shutdowns come with real consequences for Americans: -Limited air traffic safety oversight -Delayed Social Security applications -Federal workers aren't paid -SNAP funding could run out & more. Meanwhile, Trump continues construction of the White House ballroom...

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Is ICE Today’s Klan? hartmannreport.com/p/is-ice-tod...

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

The original version of the book said that Epstein was involved in introducing Melania to her beloved husband.

the way this can't decide if it wants to be heavy metal or chuck berry and just does neither well is truly remarkable

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

A 9-year-old pepper sprayed in handcuffs, crying for her dad. A teenager wrestled to the ground, and another pepper sprayed while waiting for the bus. All were Black girls hurt by police.

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.

The GOP won't swear-in Adelita Grijalva, leaving AZ-07 without a federal representative during a government shutdown. She will also be the 218th and final signature to force a vote to release the Epstein files—I'm sure that's just a coincidence, right? time.com/7323800/adel...

Cosplay for Losers

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Dr. Bill Cassidy, chair of the Senate Oversight Committee, was key to confirming RFK Jr. as Health Sec. Six former Surgeons General now warn against Kennedy’s actions. Despite that and his lying under oath about his vaccine policy plans, Cassidy is silent. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

“I told them that I probably wouldn’t be able to make my appointments anymore, well, because I’m really afraid given what happened to my husband.” Harrowing reporting from @shefali.bsky.social and Mel Leonor Barclay at @19thnews.org.

Talk of carfree streets often assume they're only possible in the Central City; but thanks to visionary politicians, neighborhood advocates and supportive city policy, we are finally seeing plazas extend way beyond downtown. bikeportland.org/2025/10/07/r...

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Wow 👇

"Putin couldn't do a better job" of attacking America. How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

I'm not saying the files don't show what most people assume they show (they probably do), but more and more I suspect they reveal something we have never even considered, something that goes beyond horrifying to unthinkable, and that's why we are where we are at this point in time.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

After threatening that furloughed federal workers might not receive backpay after all, Mike Johnson tries to clarify that *of course* he thinks they *should* get backpay.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Just heard someone say that if you aren't willing to get arrested or die at a protest you aren't serious about the cause and that's a) not true and b) not helpful You don't need to have a death wish to fight for a better world, and anyone who says you do is throwing up a massive red flag

Awwww hell yall we gotta keep carrying strength for this beautiful national treasure 🫂🙏💚 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

“Bucking tradition,” my ass. So disturbing to see the mainstream media lining up to help the Trump regime promote evil lies about violence that doesn’t exist to justify military invasions of American cities.

Marco Rubio’s 🤮 complicity is no longer a secret; it’s a brand.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

WHITEHOUSE: How many suspicious activity reports did you investigate out of the hundreds related to accounts of Jeffrey Epstein? BONDI: I'm not sure if you're concerned, because you took money I believe from Reid Hoffman, if that's correct WHITEHOUSE: You seem to have looked at 0 of them

Still paying taxes? SCREAM FOR YOUR REPRESENTATION. CALL OUT THE TYRANNY!

The horror!

Like. Martin. Luther. King ‼️‼️⬇️

How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:

You want to fix the ACA? Easy. Strip Congress of their diamond public health plans and pay them the median American income: $41,400 a year. No insider trading, no perks, and dock every vacation day after seven. Watch how fast they fix healthcare then.

The entire Regime is nothing more than a roving pack of evil content creators. They aren’t interested in doing anything other than filming themselves living out their wildest fantasies of what they would do if given unchecked power over all of America. 🇺🇸 They are professional, gov shit posters.

When the media repeats the phrase "Trump enemies," they do Trump a favor. They're not his "enemies," they're his critics exercising their fundamental right to criticize the president. @saletan.bsky.social joins @monacharen.bsky.social on Just Between Us, for Bulwark+ members only:

We remember him not just because of what happened, but because we refuse to let hate win. Because love deserves safety. Because no one should be hurt for being who they are. This isn’t history. It’s a reminder. Be loud. Be kind. Be the reason someone feels safe. #LGBTQ+
