Happy no kings day!

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Didn’t realize that the deadly explosion in Tennessee took place in #TN07, which is where the special election is taking place in December. Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn comments on the tragedy below:

My statement after Senate Republicans blocked my legislation with @schiff.senate.gov to stop the continued use of U.S. Armed Forces in the southern Caribbean Sea without specific authorization by Congress:

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.

DC politicians like John Cornyn promised to lower costs, fight for families, and drain the swamp. Now they’re trying to gut healthcare for millions to cut taxes for their donors — even shutting down the government to do it. If you feel conned, you have a place in this campaign.

A good time to buy Williams’ new album Acadia, which is the most delightfully chill thing I’ve heard all year. yasminwilliams.bandcamp.com/album/acadia

Wake up.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Blue states aren’t subsidizing regular people in red states. Blue states are subsidizing millionaires in red states. Republicans take federal money and give it away to the wealthy in tax cuts.

This.

Pedo RICO is already typing insane nonsense on his crappy website.

i try not to tremble when i look down the long rutted road ahead but some nights the shaking starts and i can't stop it i never envisioned this nightmare and there's no fix for it i breathe in i breathe out taking baby steps into the unknown ~ RC deWinter

Not great!

It's kind of a coliseum and gladiator vibe. Dare I say, even imperial?

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed a bill Friday that would require voters with felony convictions to pay all outstanding legal fees before their right to vote is restored — a requirement that voting rights advocates slammed as a discriminatory poll tax. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Tennessee mom of four, Jessee Graham, speaks out against far right extremists spreading hate in the name of Christianity. She is defending the LGBTQ+ community over the pressure from conservatives which led to the resignation of the librarian over a Pride display.

As a lawyer, i learned to apply the facts to the law. Bondi is applying confabulation to the because-he-said-so. This won't go well for her.

"Trump’s master plan extends far beyond government. He is seeking to weaken and intimidate other influential sections of society that might provide a check on him and a corporate-friendly state," writes @davidcorn.bsky.social

3 Cities. 3 Hearings. 5 Hours of Testimony. For 30 Million Texans. @tayhlorcoleman.bsky.social delivered a powerful #CupOfJoe Joe, speaking against the latest effort to rig the maps in favor of the powerful. In a world of Karolines, be a Tayhlor. #DemsUnited

Smithsonian's American History museum does a White House "content review" then rewrites history, removing Trump's impeachments. A spokesperson says "it became clear that the ‘Limits of Presidential Power’ section ... needed to be addressed" wapo.st/3HhfyxU @janaykingsberry.bsky.social

Trump claims Epstein "stole" one of Epstein's underage victims, Virginia Giuffre, from Trump's Mar-a-lago spa. Why did Trump use the word "stole," as if he owned Giuffre?

A young Texan tells Texas Democrats that they need to be willing to do anything to prevent redistricting, including breaking quorum!! Heed his warning!! RISE UP NOW!

Global scale grift… The Air Force determined our nuclear silos are crumbling, unsafe, and we need new ones. But Trump is pilfering the funds to pimp out the 747 jet “gifted” by Qatar to use as Air Force. The same jet he plans to keep after he’s no longer president. Like it’s a parting gift.

The Republicans brought all those charges against me and they were all DROPPED They tried and LOST!!!!! A beginning to a wave of losses ignited by BLUE STATES gerrymandering out Republicans without mercy Trump started this gerrymandering WAR, Democrats will FINISH IT!

For the 1st time in its 116-year history, the NAACP won’t invite a sitting U.S. president to its national convention. NAACP President Derrick Johnson called it “a waste of time to give a platform to fascism.” Well done! Every organization should follow suit. FDT

Please do

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

BREAKING WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration says it is ending deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles.

Republican corruption is happening out in the open because they don’t even feel a need to hide it anymore. (One of the seats they’re targeting in Texas is held by Rep. Al Green, who introduced articles for impeachment against Trump last month.)

I live in Tennessee (Marsha is a bitch) Medicaid is called Tenncare so these idiots here think “well I don’t have Medicare I have Tenncare so we don’t have to worry.” Dumb asses….

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Since 2009, I’ve shopped Etsy for gifts, keepsakes for my kids, and other special items. I will *never* make a purchase from Etsy again since learning they’ve allowed Alligator Alcatraz merch on their site. Etsy should be ashamed of themselves for profiting off human trafficking. Despicable.

Imagine the shock when people in WY, OK, TN, MS, etc. learn that Equality Care, SoonerCare, TennCare, MississippiCAN and the like are actually Medicare.

We’re in the Capitol for a youth read-in of Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill with @yassaminansari.bsky.social. We’re reading all 900 pages of bullshit out loud, to make sure Republicans know they are betraying our generation with their vote.

After being starved for over 20 hrs, inmates at Delaney Hall ICE jail in Newark tore down a wall. They’ve been gassed, denied food, visits, & basic rights for weeks. Outside, New Jersey locals showed up and forced ICE to retreat despite being maced, assaulted, and nearly run down by vans.

Hungary banned pride and anything having to do with homosexuality. In response the country responded with the biggest pride protest in modern history. Orban is cooked. #3E

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

We Stand with @PlannedParenthood.

Trump wraps his speech on the big bill: "Schumer - our great Palestinian senator. He's changed. He used to like Jewish people, now he's totally against Jewish people. Try the weightlifting numbers some day if you want to see big differences. In a million years women will never catch these numbers"

You go Madam President 🇲🇽 (She’s a climate scientist so she knows of what she speaks) I love this for Elbow

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
