An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

They send armed goons to kidnap parents in front of their children and then get mad that we don’t thank them for “keeping us safe.” Hell isn’t hot enough for these assholes.

I suspect you’re right. When costs skyrocket that fast...it’s not inflation...it’s orchestration. The higher the price tag...the more room to bury favors and skim donations under “construction.” Always follow the money...concrete isn’t the only thing being poured.

Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk. I had it exactly backward.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

To be clear: These donations are bribes, made anonymously to conceal Trump’s corruption.

There's never been a more thinned skinned whinny little petulant child www.today.com/video/trump-...

Would it be okay for the Mexican military to blow up a US fishing boat because they believed it was smuggling deadly guns into Mexico, even if they offered no evidence? Would that be acceptable to this administration? asks @sanho.bsky.social.

A very frightening reality coming to life. There is a bunker under the ballroom. Hitler history is repeating itself. With Trump sycophants now controlling the FBI, DOJ, Defense, and Supreme Court, future elections are at risk.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

We didn’t do it. I’ll give you one guess on which entity did?

Donald, you can call me whatever you want as long as you get your masked ICE agents in line and keep the military out of New York City.

The conditions at the Broadview ICE facility are getting worse. This is why we keep coming back. Our neighbors are not alone. You can join us in demanding transparency + accountability at 1930 Beach Street.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

Color me shocked. They’re ALL such goddamn hypocrites.

Always something when a lazy rich cunt says that the goal of healthcare isn’t to improve your happiness or quality of life but is to make sure you can work harder and longer

Some of the little ones can be soothed with a juice box; others with a tariff.

Exactly what all DC Dems should be doing

To prevent sickness and even death, severely malnourished people may need medical attention when they regain access to food. This will be extremely difficult in Gaza, where most health-care facilities are in ruins. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/what-comes-after-starvation-in-gaza

Correct

The Epstein Ballroom it is

Merkley ended his speech at 25 hours, and it’s remarkable how little attention he got compared to Sen Booker’s floor speech on April. My guess would be it’s simply because Booker’s speech, however well meant and impassioned, had zero effect.

We're launching a portal to review federal immigration enforcement in New York after yesterday’s ICE raid on Canal Street. New Yorkers who were present should submit videos or photos, and we will review and investigate any violations of the law.

BREAKING: The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials, a significant expansion of President Trump's original stated plan.

If we're being honest here, Trump posting an AI video of him dumping shit all over America is about the most honest thing he's ever done.

Because he’s doing his job…reporting. Because we still live in a free country with a First Amendment and a free press.

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

Example #4,569,007 Why "Pro-Life" and "Law & Order" Republicans Are Neither Pro-Life Nor Law & Order: They are supporting a president who murders innocent fishermen in international waters just for kicks.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

If you're a UVA alumni, call the alumni office and let them know how you feel about this craven act of cowardice: 👇

I'm serious re: the _personal_ offense I take to this. I went to U-Va. on a merit scholarship for high-achieving, heavily recruited Black students. I worked my ass off, racked up AP credits, and devoted evenings + weekends to extracurriculars to get in. Whose fucking spot did I "take"? Whose?

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

ICE has killed at least 19 people since it began its kidnapping spree under orders of Donald Trump; most victims died while in internment due to “illness” caused by the deliberate poor conditions they are held in.

We've started getting accustomed to these outrages. Which only paves the road for more Constitutional abuses. Don't normalize #Fascism

Research shows 3.5% of population, 12.08M Americans, protesting peacefully can rewrite history. No Kings went from 5M to ~7M in 4 months. We’re closing in on that tipping point. America, stay united, stay nonviolent, and let’s make change happen! #NoKings 🇺🇸

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

See the difference? 👀 #NoKings

Imagine thinking they ever cared about debt, fraud, waste, abuse, or anything of the sort. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better." (The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Why can’t every month have a No Kings Day? 😩

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
