Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Gavin Newsom responds to JD Vance “No thanks, JD. I will not be going “straight to hell” today. Though when I watch you speak I certainly feel like I’m already there.”

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

🤷🏼

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Awful: White House is circulating draft bill to vastly expand Trump's authority to bomb "drug cartels" w/o Congress. It's a "blank check to use force anywhere in the world against anyone he designates a narco-terrorist," says @bcfinucane.bsky.social. All on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2007...

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Release the Epstein files!!!

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

Mortgage fraud allegations generate even more political headaches for Team Trump... www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

How did Dr. Monarez go from being “a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials” who had the “full confidence” of Secretary Kennedy into being a “liar” and “untrustworthy” in less than a month? She refused to rubber stamp his anti-vaccine recommendations.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Welcome to the United Kingdom! 🇬🇧 Never before in U.S. History has a President been acknowledged by another country in this unique way! 🇺🇸 At Windsor Castle, in London & all across the land, people are United! ✊ They all want to see the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles, ASAP! 👀

🇦🇺 REPORTER: “How much wealthier are you now?” TRUMP: “My kids are running my businesses 🤥 … I’m building a ballroom…” 🇦🇺 REPORTER: “Is it appropriate for a president to be doing so many business deals while in office?” TRUMP: “You’re hurting Australia right now.”🤔

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

BOOKER: “I don’t think you’re long for this job.” *Kash & Booker then scream at each other for a full minute when Kash hypocritically accuses Booker of being divisive*

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Trey Reed, found hanging in the middle of a college campus thegrio.com/2025/09/15/b...

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

I recommend everyone watches this

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

🤬🤬🤬 We on the left do not condone violence! We just don’t burst into tears when someone awful who actually did condone violence is killed violently!🤬🤬🤬

Scrutiny Mounts Over F.B.I. Under Patel as Kirk’s Killer Remains at Large... Already, a series of missteps by Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, in recent months have invited worries that he has eroded public confidence in the agency... (Free gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

Threats were just called in at the DNC and HBCUs across America. We must come together, and with one voice overcome the forces of hatred that seek to divide us. Trump is stoking the flames of hatred and violence but we can’t succumb to it.

Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.

Frost: We need housing not handcuffs. We have a housing crisis in this country. Every time the rent goes up $100, homelessness goes up 9%… We shouldn’t be criminalizing homeless people for the failures of government

More of this.

“The president did not write this letter. He did not sign this letter.” They think we are all so stupid

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

We Remember and Honor Aunt Crabby ! And We Agree With Her, We Must End Chump........

This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.

😬

Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

I interviewed @gavinnewsom.bsky.social from my closet www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOm1...

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force. "Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.
