🚨Indiana Republicans ignore threats from the mob boss in the Oval Office, seat stealing proposal goes down 31-19…

This thread 🧵. WTAF???

People who think like this have no business in the business of war. It's not heroic to watch someone die alone and in pain. It's not honorable to watch someone cry to their God or their mother. We have Laws about such things.

DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

So it’s not about the drugs????? But Republicans are just gonna shrug while we invade Venezuela because of drugs. What the fuck are we doing? When is it enough with these clowns? Are they willing to burn our entire country down to be king of the ashes? Remove this sociopath.

This right here pretty much sums up where we are as a country.

In a world where Trump punches down, be like Pope Leo and lift people up.

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.

CNN, NYT, AP, and other media orgs literally have interviewed families of people killed in Caribbean boat strikes, including some who say they were just fishermen. Lies nested within lies, all in service of violating the laws of armed combat, for no evident national interest advancement at all.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1863: Lincoln delivers a 272-word address at the dedication of a military cemetery in Gettysburg, Penn. It became one of the greatest speeches in U.S. history, expressing Lincoln’s conviction that the Civil War was a struggle for a “new birth of freedom.” /1

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

JD Vance, talking like a Nazi

Annual performance review for the Democratic Party- including ratings.

For every surveillance state to function, there must be a critical mass of people who willingly act as snitches to further the regime's ideology. I lived through this firsthand, money isn't the motivating factor for these people, it's the satisfaction of seeing people they hate suffer

Aurora Borealis last night in southern RI. Clouds dissipated just enough.

Should Kamala run again? These are a few common responses I receive to that question

This guy is brilliant 🤣

A movie you’ve seen more than 7 times with a gif.

MEISELAS: “Trump said he brought in $17 Trillion… $20 Trillion… $22 Trillion… This is what Ponzi schemers do— he holds out false hope that there are riches right around the corner (while people starve).”

Men: so glad women aren’t getting snap! Same men: Trump will eliminate child support! Same men: we are lonely!

With so much abuse of power by ICE around the country, it’s important to remember there are plenty of DHS employees performing their duties in a respectful manner. And without a paycheck. Kudos to the CBP officer at Newark airport who conducted our return interview yesterday. He thanked us!

He's gonna keep doing stuff until someone stops him. Call your senator/rep. They are the only way this stops. Crowdfunding/Mutual Aid funding the government is a special kinda dystopian.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This right here 👇

This fiasco has gotten much worse. Some highlights from my pod talk with ranking Armed Services Dem Adam Smith: First, he says SouthCom Commander Alvin Holsey was likely pushed out over the illegal boat bombings and that he's heard stuff to this effect from inside: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

What a prick

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a series of strange and embarrassing remarks in front of our nation’s military today, prompting new calls for him to resign. Maj. Gen. William Enyart (Ret.), former Adjutant General of the Illinois National Guard, joins The Weeknight to respond.

The governor is the commander in chief of his/her national guard units. No need to request federal approval to deploy units in state service. Unless you don’t want to use state funds to pay for that deployment. This is performative BS on Landry’s part.

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Stop trying to make Scott Bessent the adult in the room. It’s not going to happen. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-worst-...

1. We should talk about two weekend stories and what they say about the true objective of Donald Trump. First, the admin closed a bribery investigation of Tom Homan. Before Trump was reelected, Homan took a $50K bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent, per Reuters. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

#ResistanceRoots “Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power.” — Frederick Douglass

This is the best analysis I’ve seen of the current discursive situation. Please give this 🧵 your time.

this deserves to make the motherfucking rounds again

Exactly like with the assassination attempt on Trump, the right has decided to ignore the actual identity of the shooter and instead pretend that the entire left end of the political spectrum was behind it. Their feelings don't care about facts.

YOU ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE REST OF THE PRESS WILL RUN WITH THIS BULLSHIT. WE'VE ALL SEEN THEM ABANDON THE TRUTH TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO FOLLOW FOX SIMPLY BECAUSE IT WAS EASY CLICKS. BE EXQUISITELY CAREFUL WHEN TALKING TO ANYONE IN THE MEDIA. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

This Day in Labor History: September 12, 1934. The Rhode Island National Guard opened fire on people associated with striking textile workers throwing rocks and bricks at them in the Moshassuck Cemetery in Saylesville, Rhode Island. 2 died. Let's talk the Saylesville Massacre's complex history!

here's today's post: "just lie back and enjoy your military occupation, peasant" — also: is Donny ‘the Hitler of our time’? the answer may surprise you. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops. Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.

I wrote this 4 years ago following the Afghanistan withdrawal of U.S. forces. This is a story about a curious boy with no name — at least, no name that I ever came to know. apnews.com/article/sept...

An “FBI informant” my ass. Republicans would rather sell full-on fairy tales than face Trump's Epstein truth. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Please, the U.S. Open asked us not to share any video of the president being booed heavily by an entire stadium, please respect their wishes, please

DEI exists to remove barriers for racially marginalized folks and other historically excluded populations. Accessibility is about choice, flexibility, and recognising that not everyone starts from the same place.

Yesterday morning, I dropped my kids at school for their first day of the year. And just hours later, parents in Minneapolis dropped their children for the last time. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
