Via @vincedmomroy on Threads HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of a MASSIVE CROWD peacefully protesting and marching down the streets of Minneapolis to protest the Trump administration and lCE 📍Minneapolis, Minnesota

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

A question. Where were all these people on Election Day? # NoKings

Trump doubles the bailout to Argentina, now $40 billion, and Argentina takes all China’s soybean orders away from our American farmers - 7 million tons. Was it Argentina first?

This is astounding… ❤️

So unifying

And fuck the 34% who couldn’t be bothered to vote at all.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

So that's two out of the big three network late night hosts who have been forced out now for offending the regime.

BREAKING: ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. Trump’s FCC chair earlier appeared on MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson’s show and threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcast license if they didn’t take action against him.

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

Viva Mexico! Both thrilled and humbled to be living in this incredible country.

Mexico for the longest time was considered "third world." Now, it's "Developing World"; yet in some areas it's nicer and even more technologically advanced than some areas of the USA. They should take every advantage of Trump's dumb policies to close the gap and grow while we decline.

One of the reasons we need USAID back!

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

This is outrageous.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Each year between January and April, a blob of cold water rises from the depths of the Gulf of Panama to the surface, playing an essential role in supporting marine life in the region. But this year, it never arrived. Researchers are trying to figure out why.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

When #Trump signed an executive order to stop federal funding to the US Agency for Global Media (#USAGM), it sent ripple effects across the world. Journalist Rebecca L Root breaks down what this means for free expression in #Asia: www.indexoncensorship.org/2025/09/what...

First class loser.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"! Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective. #TerrifiedOfTheEPSTEIN_Files 😨

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

My god what did Americans do

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

Nice!

#Egypt: PEN International condemns new fabricated charges against poet Galal El-Behairy, unjustly jailed since 2018. From prison, he writes that his protest is not for freedom, but for the most basic of rights. Read our statement and his full message ⬇️ www.pen-international.org/news/egypt-p...

When the wind blows Hold your friends Hold them tightly Check on others in this storm Don't let the gale Knock any of us down Lean Lean against the wall for safety Against a shoulder more steady Lean until you can support others Until the winds at last die down

HOPE

We reiterate the UN experts’ calls for accountability following the killing of Al Jazeera correspondents in Gaza. Journalists must be protected, and attacks on media workers must end. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

This.

Trump and the GOP move to sell Alaska’s rare earth wealth to Putin, granting a hostile regime control over resources essential to U.S. defense, tech, and energy. Not diplomacy. Betrayal. The auctioning of America’s future to Moscow—by Kremlin assets Trump and Rubio.

Five years on, many in Afghanistan still face persecution. Women, journalists, and artists are among those silenced. PEN International urges action to protect free expression and restore the rights and freedoms that have been lost. www.pen-international.org/news/afghani...

Newsom: “Wake up, America. If he rigs this election, you won’t have a country anymore.”

Welp

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Imagine a German saying they're proud of the Nazi part of their history.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response. She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.
