Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Let ‘Em Know just popping up in random places is my jam.

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Did we ever find out why Rand Paul’s neighbor broke beat his arse?

Unity has no meaning here We aren’t failing the group project—living in a civil, just society, because we are divided. We are failing because of sabotage. There is only one demographic that refuses to band together. I call them neo-confederate whites. You can call them whatever you want.

the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files

REALLY important read on why rape culture is so prevalent. Say it: #Patriarchy #GenderInequality #EpsteinPedoFiles celestemdavis.substack.com/p/epstein-fi...

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Same.

Whole bit, whether real or prank, really reflects how American culture is bleakly unserious and cheap.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

question aside her explanation shows a much healthier perspective on than people pretend high performers have to have and everyone would be better off with it

Packed shoulder to shoulder. No showers. One toilet. 24/7. That’s what ICE is doing in Baltimore while billions of our tax dollars flow in. Depraved and cruel inhumanity. Don’t stop calling it out.

🗣️🗣️ I have been waiting for this shoe to drop for some time now. If they were encouraged to pursue their biggest kinks and fantasies without consequence, I assure you they were hunting black people.

Just go dafuq back to the nazi, sexbot platform. You don’t need to explain why you dislike this non-Nazi, sexbot platform. Neither you nor your “work” are important enough to note your dissatisfaction. #Shoo

White supremacy is truly the same as it ever was.

I believe there are tens of thousands of felons in this nation who have twice the character of Donald Trump.

For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM Watch or (Rewatch) one of my favorite New York films "Crossing Delancey" (1988) - Dir. Joan Micklin Silver, Screenplay by Susan Sandler, based on her play. Starring Amy Irving, Peter Riegert, & Reizl Bozyk. Full movie ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Il...

no joke here, just a reminder that the ultra wealthy do not see you as human but rather as a resource to extract for profit

🚨 BREAKING: Lawmakers say today that Trump’s personal lawyers: Bondi, Blanche and Patel — withheld or redacted an estimated 95% of references to Donald Trump in the Epstein files!!!!! This is roughly 950,000 of 1M+ mentions, per staff calculations.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Dear Deluded Americans, Black people know that likening us to monkeys is racists. Also, we think think the regurgitated, old-timey racism used by your klancestors is amusingly lame. Ok, we will be a monkeys. We also don’t condone nor engage in collective child rape.

I am not gleefully predicting this, just speaking from some experience, and trying to steel folks for the right timespan on fighting this: within 2-4 years, there will be Very Serious People demanding you give up asking for accountability on this stuff, and in fact *you* are the problem for doing so

Turns out pizza-gate was more or less real, but full of Republicans and not Hillary or Obama. Go figure.

-Shooting dead protesters. -Raiding election offices. -Imprisoning journalists. -Illegally attacking countries. -Leveling our White House. -Destroying our government. This is an administration (regime) that is not worried about losing elections.

White supremacy is an insatiable vampire. The goal all along has been to use brown people as currency to create wealth for mediocre neocofederates.

After J6, our system allowed Trump to run for president again. They literally gave permission to an insurrectionist, to destroy our country. He's doing exactly what he said he was going to do. SCOTUS, Republican Party, DOJ, all of you hold the responsibility of this. The election came later.

It's a tie But it's a great start with 95.3% of voters

The untimely death of civil rights in America — and what can be done to resurrect them. My latest on Substack: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-death-of-civil-rights-in-america

We're in a time in American history where the president of the United States is sending FBI agents out to help rig the midterms. This is not an administration, it's a mafia doing their dirty work for all to see & I am FURIOUS at everyone who helped normalize this level of crime in our government.

Dear world: Remember that cruelty and murder of unwanted groups is a hallmark of Christian colonialism The USA has only had a short history of democracy + civil rights—since about 1964 What is happening now is totally in character Tip: NEVER vote in a right wing government NEVER!!!

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

Odd. I don't hear about mass shootings in the USA these days. Are all the gun wackos now hired by ICE so they don't need to satisfy themselves with mass shootings elsewhere anymore?

You cannot ethically reason with morally bankrupt, entrenched bigots, or dishonest brokers. It’s simply not possible.

Russ Feingold made me proud to be a Wisconsinite as the voice of opposition to the Patriot Act. Embraced the Wisconsin 'Forward' motto and carrying on our progressive tradition. Only to be replaced by one of the worst senators out there.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

It must be wild being a Republican. Literally no beliefs other than a burning desire to have a bigger, more confident man tell them what to do.

I don't care if you take the last cup & never brew another pot, steal a parking spot, cut in line at the grocery store, or take more than one piece at halloween. The idea that only REALLY GOOD PEOPLE deserve protection from state violence is fucking BULLSHIT NOBODY SHOULD BE EXECUTED BY ICE

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Every state in the U.S. should pass a law like the one now proposed in California, disqualifying ICE agents from working in state law enforcement and public schools. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/california-bill-ice-teachers-21318405.php

And should.

“You raise your voice, I erase your voice.” 🤔 Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

Two non-white Democratic members of Congress have been attacked in the last 3 days. Both attackers were stating pro-regime political messages while conducting the attack. The administration endorses violence, all the time, and its supporters receive the message.

my guy not only did the Tobias Funke meme thing but did it with skull calipers. tremendous

SHE IS THE REAL DEAL
