It is about time.

Supreme Court rules Article I is meaningless.

GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. He just pled guilty to child porn charges. - “Every accusation is a confession" keeps ringing true day by day. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/gop-...

“Surveillance video shows federal #ICE agents body slamming 79-year-old US citizen Rafie Shouhed to the ground just outside of his car wash … Shouhed suffered multiple broken ribs, brain damage and deep bruising to his arms.” Now he's suing for $50 million. #AbolishICE abc7.com/post/van-nuy...

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

Yep. Trump is already there. Only question is whether we'll turn it back.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

Donald Trump promised to make America great again and yet Sunday Night Football ends in a tie, like we're European or something.

Your regular reminder that marginal income & capital gains tax rates are too low & this poses an existential threat to 🇺🇸 democracy

Glorified Mall Cops dressed like they are in Fallujah. Disgusting.

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

Reporter Asal Rezaei said there was no active protest or protesters at the facility, and she was alone with no one around her at the time of the incident. An ICE agent allegedly shot a pepper ball into her vehicle, which went off in her car, causing her to vomit. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

Trump is building a personalist regime where every university must bend the knee or lose funding and every business must bend the knee or face tariffs, H-1B fees, and regulatory blackmail. You can't cover each domain in isolation; they are all the same story.

One of Trump’s own former attorneys….

Wow

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

“Experts” lol the crude “this Supreme Court will give Trump anything he wants in a way that denies precedent to any future Democratic president” retains a 1.000 batting average

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Has anyone collected the vile statements congressional Republicans have made calling for the murder, assault, deportation and/or imprisonment of their colleagues? Seems like there’s a lot of this coming straight from the GOP but the nation is more focused on ordinary liberals on social media.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Still waiting

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

I was just editing an article draft of mine, and I was reminded that Trump also pardoned the Blackwater guys who killed 17 Iraqi civilians at Nisour Square. MAGA loves war crimes. www.theguardian.com/world/2020/d...

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.

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.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Pedocon theory remains undefeated

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous. Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos. Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

Making America Dangerous Again!

Some context. Despite Portland's liberal reputation Portland police are notoriously unfriendly to protesters so it's a notable statement from PPB

What they want is Dems to join them in dabbling their fingers in the blood. There are absolutely no circumstances under which anybody loyal to the Constitution should vote to fund a government controlled by Donald Trump. They are covering their own asses by demanding that line not be clearly drawn.

"The leadership of the FBI, DOJ, and DHS have proven their agencies are not capable of conducting investigations based on anything other than Trump’s political objectives. Simply put: the federal govt can no longer be trusted, & the Trump admin only has itself to blame." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

War-ravaged Portland

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

It was never about the kids www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

It's ironic that when Dems have complete power their goal is to help as many people as they can, and when MAGA has complete power their goal is to basically destroy America as we know it. It's depressing that given the obvious choice the voters chose the latter.

A small Texas charter network has paid its superintendent up to $870,000 annually over the last three years. Board members have voted to increase his pay or other financial benefits in 14 of their 24 meetings since 2021. (Published March)

This is precisely the claim that evidently animates the rigthwing majority on the Court: That any "burden" placed upon the regime by insisting the constitution is still in effect, the separation of powers is still a thing, and the law is still the law, causes the government irreparable harm.

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09... Holding Trump accountable for trying to subvert the 2020 election was a test of democracy and the rule of law, and we failed. Now he's exacting his revenge.

Kash Patel, the FBI director, fired roughly 20 agents on Friday, including those who knelt during protests for racial justice in 2020, people familiar with the matter said. An agents group says the dismissals are part of a “dangerous pattern” of weakening the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

That “Hamas hospital camera” was actually one of Reuters’ cameras. The IDF fired several rounds of tank artillery at the hospital stairwell, killing 3 journalists and hospital staff. The journalists were from Reuters, AP, and a freelancer who had previously worked with both organizations.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

--the return of real civil rights legislation, undoing the gutting done by Roberts court --making gerrymandering a thing of the past --regulating campaign finance and the other stuff...
