What? I hope all those sold out frog suits are in Austin.

In case anyone asks who the leader of Antifa is, show them this photo.

Our job on Saturday is to show up in numbers so great that the MAGA argument pivots from "They hate America" to "All those pictures are fake."

This is a huge scandal, one of the worst in modern law enforcement and something that is astoundingly unconstitutional and illegal.

ICE has held more than 170 U.S.citizens. We know this only because of @propublica.org.

This entire thread:

If you read one piece today, make it this one--especially if you're a Californian.

Invite immigrants from "shithole countries" to operate the wrecking ball. Televise the whole thing.

Mark Jacob's grades to major media players are spot on, as is his strategy of issuing grades.

Let’s all be out there folks. They know this will be huge, nationwide in communities large & small, full of families, people of all ages, protesting Trump’s authoritarian takeover, & they’re scared.

A 3,000-pound, 17-foot-long "DEMOCRACY" ice sculpture is melting away on the National Mall today, a statement from activists and artists on the weakened state of American democracy under the Trump administration. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

This looks like a threat to all of Latin America. If Argentina fails to re-elect Milei, will Trump unleash the CIA there too & consider sending in military?

While Republicans in Vermont call for the resignation of Samuel Douglass, a state legislator who was in the hate-filled chat group, U.S. vp JD Vance makes excuses for the racism & pro Hitler vitriol, pretending that group participants were “kids.”

“Would CBS have run this story a week ago?”

When all of this is finally over, I hope the people who ordered and carried out these extrajudicial assassinations are given the due process they don't believe in before they're punished for murder. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Remember, these are the people who surround GOP representatives, senators, justices of the Supreme Court, executive branch officials. Staffers and lower-level personnel create the social context, the accepted norms, that surround decisionmakers. Goodbye republic. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Leaders who hint at arming themselves or their friends against domestic opponents rarely stop at words.

This is the nation that we are now. This nation is unbelievably sick.

@sulliview.bsky.social: The media is largely ignoring the trauma of millions. Here's why.

Absolutely. There is no point engaging in talks that can only lead to ceding more power to the tyrant.

This is amazing.

This John Oliver piece on Bari Weiss is one of his best, & that’s really saying something.

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

Trump’s U.S. Dept of Education wipes out Special Ed services, which are crucial for families in every economic & social group .

Lots of “No Kings” events everywhere. This amazing Bay Area screenshot from www.nokings.org shows them on the map.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

The Trump administration aims to destroy public education, a cornerstone of our democracy.

October 18th -- No Kings, be there!

New Column: You know how some historians wonder if people recognize the onslaught in real time? Well, I'm here to tell you that millions of us do. And we're fighting it. newrepublic.com/post/201625/... via @newrepublic.com

@pkrugman.bsky.social “We did t expect America to become a country where masked secret policemen smash down your door in the middle of the night and take you away. Yet here we are.”

Important Greg Sargent interview with Chris Murphy. “The world is watching to see what we stand for.”

Ever increasing lawlessness.

In ruling that the government cannot deploy the National Guard in Portland A federal judge finds that president Trump lied “this Court concludes that the President did not have a ‘colorable basis’ to..federalize the National Guard..The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts”

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

October 18, 2025. Bring flowers. Sing songs. Flood the streets. Nonviolent resistance is the best path forward.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Looks like a war zone that needs troops!

This is so dystopian. People ready to do battle with Storm Troopers and advancing on protesters armed with … donuts.

It appears that SCOTUS, ignoring the constitution, has rendered any congressional budget meaningless.

Even if Democrats were insisting that they wouldn’t fund the government unless Trump personally underwent gender reassignment surgery on live TV, that doesn’t change the fact that Republicans run the entire goddamn government. This is 100% on them.

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

NEW: "To disrupt the world's most powerful military by having its leaders travel across multiple time zones to stage a mass meeting in Virginia is nothing less than operational malpractice." Just published, from @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-qu...

I know this isn’t funny but, well, it’s kind of funny.
