"Fear is contagious, but so is courage." Good statement. Trump and Republicans are clearly on the defensive at this point and Trump is acting in desperation literally throwing stuff on his social media platform. Dems shouldn't be giving an inch rhetorically - but also legislatively on the Hill.

This is good and prudent. I would also just note that the U.S. Capitol Police are armed. It implies Democrats are prepared to used armed force to resist unlawful political arrests by the executive branch.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

WICKED: FOR GOOD arrives tomorrow! I wrote about Universal’s very cool sustainability campaign, which involves a “green for good” video from Cynthia Erivo and an online toolkit advising fans to consider solar panels, electric cars and plant-based meals: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/wicked-cyn...

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This guy has no business being near any students, nor in any sort of public life. Be gone.

This is an angle to Trump's behavior that can be easy to forget. Trump would be fired in any normal workplace over the abusive way he treats people every single day.

Texas getting its gerrymander blocked while California and Virginia eliminate 8-9 Republican seats would be a stupendous, comical outcome.

Press conference room absolutely packed at #COP30 as 20+ ministers gather to call for a roadmap away from fossil fuels to be a key outcome of this summit (Many more countries have expressed their support behind the scenes)

"A guy" (known child sex trafficker) "emailing a reporter" (at the most important newspaper in the world, about a presidential candidate's ties to himself, a known child sex trafficker) about "old girlfriends" (underage girls they trafficked) is not "a whole news story" (yes it is.)

nothing to see here, just Donald Trump's top henchmen summoning members of congress to a secure room where they can't be record that is sometimes used for ordering people killed in order to persuade them not to release the Epstein files

Really starting to make sense why Mike Johnson and Republicans skipped work for 40+ days

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

...in the situation room.

This is, again, another meeting at the White House about how to prevent the release of FBI documents about child rape. Think for a second, if you were accused of raping children, would you be convening multiple meetings about how to prevent the release of documents that prove your innocence?

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland. How Fox News misled its viewership -- which may have included the president. www.propublica.org/article/port...

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem. We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

Well it was fun feeling like we had some Democratic momentum for what, not even a week?

A @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social quote sighting always brings a smile. This one at the Seattle aquarium.

With a career as long and as impactful as hers, there inevitably will (and should) be a varied discourse on her legacy...but really my thoughts this morning regarding Nancy Pelosi are that I was proud and excited to get to vote for her in multiple elections when I lived in SF. It was an honor.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate. Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

My wife has decided her favorite player is With Risp. He’s always up when something exciting is going on.

So to be clear, the Trump administration has been trying to illegally withhold SNAP benefits, an illegal and immoral attempt at using people's hunger as a bargaining chip.

Great coverage from @emorwee.bsky.social of the first entire unit to be let go at CBS News under new management: the climate team 🙃 heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

NEWS: CBS News gutted its climate team as part of the big Paramount layoffs this week. These journalists had been doing incredible reporting on extreme heat, flooding, clean energy investments and more. I've got details for Climate-Colored Goggles: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/cbs-news-g...

Worth reading the whole thread...needless to say, I agree!

Don’t mind me, just mourning a tree I’ve loved for half my adult life. If you’ve ever been so lucky to enjoy a weekend at Hardly Strictly or a lazy day lounging in Hellman Hollow…you know this tree. I’ve never considered myself a treehugger, but I wish I could give this one a hug goodbye.

The federal government could be in contempt of court for defying a U.S. District Court judge’s order blocking National Guard deployment to Portland. buff.ly/YMG7ODD by @alexbaumhardt.bsky.social

“This is a political prosecution and a gross attempt to silence dissent, a right protected under the first amendment," Abughazaleh said in a video she shared on social media. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It is a badge of honor, mark of courage and sign of effectiveness to be so brazenly targeted by this regime. Kat walks her talk and the regime knows it. Regardless of who you back in this race, if you back the *idea* of voters choosing their leaders, you must back her fight to be a public servant.

Someone you love will go hungry while Trump stole your money to bulldoze our White House and build himself a ballroom.

Damn it. ☑️ Prosecute enemies (see James, Comey, etc.) ☑️ Order mass deportations (see ICE) ☑️ Use soldiers against citizens (see DC, Chicago, LA, etc.) ☑️ Abandon allies (see Canada) ☑️ Play politics with disasters (see LA fires, NC recovery, climate crisis etc.)

if you think the problem is that the democratic party is too extreme rather than our current media environment privileges right wing bull shit then you have no real business discussing politics in public

New @afp.com: AI-generated videos were clogging social media feeds today as Hurricane Melissa surged toward Jamaica, diverting attention from critical information about the storm. TikTok appeared to remove more than two dozen such fakes after we flagged them. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

A terrifying and potentially catastrophic 24 hours ahead for Jamaica. And yes, this storm has reached such harrowing strength thanks to unusually warm waters caused by fossil-fuels driven climate change.

can someone please just run this as an ad?

Heard this morning in our house as we were ushering our kids out the door to get to school: "We're taking the car, so we need to give ourselves a bit more time." Dear reader, the reason is obvious: We normally bike.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

I think he might have seen our beautiful fall foliage and blinking bike lights and assumed fire.

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall? What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This just took my breath away.
