So we’re not seeing the power in charge, the Republicans, doing all they can to ensure the government does NOT shut down next week, are we? ALL ON THEM.

Monday 3pm ET, UN GA will meet on the two-state solution for Palestine. The meeting is organized by France and Saudi Arabia. PM Carney is also set to address the assembly at the meeting. I am attending a meeting with Carney prior to that.

Thank you dear Marcie @mlipsitt.bsky.social for including me! 😊🤗🥰 Please check out this amazing starter pack!

Wind warnings are in effect for most of the country on Monday, with potential for damage and extended blackouts in some regions.

This isn’t just Homan’s scandal. It’s a stress test of democracy. Fail this, and we teach every grifter how to win.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

We need one!

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

On October 18, we rise! Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other! Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. FIND or HOST a 10/18 action at www.FiftyFifty.one #NoKings #Oct18 #50501Movement

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

This story has been updated to reflect that these rumors are not true. So let’s make them real. See y’all Friday morning at 1930 Beach Street!

One time, the Missouri Ethics Committee investigated me over a $30 donation…

It’s so funny when they go after Antifa. I mean, that makes you the Fascist, dummy. FFS 🖕🏻

Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.

Jake Tapper: I have never seen an FCC chairman call for a direct action by local affiliates to remove a speaker and speech that they don't like. If we do not have the ability to criticize, mock, investigate our leaders, then we are no longer the United States of America.

A woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein at 14 is asking the Supreme Court to rule prosecutors violated her rights by secretly cutting his 2007 non-prosecution deal. Her lawyers argue the government should not be allowed to sideline victims in such secret agreements.

🚨 ALERT: EMERGENCY RAPID RESPONSE PROTEST AT DISNEY! 🚨 WHAT: Rally for Free Speech WHEN: Friday Sept 19th, 7-9pm WHERE: Katella Ave & Harbor Blvd DEMANDS: Boycott Disney, ABC, and ESPN! We must uphold our 1st Amendment rights and push back on authoritarianism. #boycottdisneyabc

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

Democratic New York lawmakers — as well as City Comptroller Brad Lander — were arrested by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers Thursday after demanding access to an alleged detention facility run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 26 Federal Plaza.

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press. Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests should not be allowed to control our media. They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Anyone else feeling this way these days? 😂

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real… Patel: That’s false Crockett: I didn’t ask you a question. I want to talk about why you're a failure and honestly we need to tell you, bye, bye

Yes, it does matter.

Shapiro: Censorship, using the long arm of government to silence people, to silence businesses and nonprofits, and restrict their right to free speech, that will not solve this problem. 

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

In January my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I’ve kept it to myself and I’m not really one to share personal stuff like this however, the past few days he’s taken a turn for the worst all I ask for prayers and good thoughts, we could use it 🙏 FUCK CANCER

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.
