Democracy is so fucked

ICYMI: Trump posted a vile comment saying the Congresswoman married her brother and called her scum. This is madness. I’m standing behind Ilhan Omar.

If you canceled Disney+ and Hulu, please consider directing that money to PBS or NPR. You can set up a monthly donation and it’s a payment you were making anyway. It would send a GREAT message about our collective power as consumers. www.pbs.org www.npr.org 🙏 @stevethdemocrat.bsky.social

There goes the First Amendment.

WTF! ICE agents are cosplaying as snipers now? Protesters are clashing with ICE outside the immigration processing facility in west suburban Broadview. Agents dragged two protesters, including one pulled inside the building. A chemical agent was reportedly sprayed.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Will Democrats finally acknowledge it? Their base gets it. The world gets it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

according to an immigration attorney representing several arrested workers, ICE agents chose to arrest the Korean workers to fulfill the quota of 3,000 daily immigrant arrests set by Stephen Miller www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Denmark has chosen the Franco-Italian SAMP/T long-range air defense system over the US Patriot, signing a $9.1B deal for 8 units - the country’s largest single defense investment, FT reports. The first system is expected to be operational already in 2025.

He knows the ending right...

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.

This protest is larger than his inauguration. 🤣

Protesters fill the streets against ICE in Chicago 9/6/25

The people’s House sounds very privileged all of a sudden.

Where do you stand? You can want solutions for the unhoused, you can want safer cities, but you can also be dead set against federalizing them and against military occupation. I stand with DC!

Chicago roads are looking pretty icy, might be time for some salt. Strange for September, but you can never be too prepared.

D.C. is pounding pavement! ✊🏼 Power to the People ✊🏼

Mamdani has raised the max he’s allowed to spend. So he’s created this brilliant ad.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

Yesterday, President Trump said of RFK: “I like the fact that he's different." Yes. RFK is *different.* He’s the first HHS secretary to actively endanger children by undermining what doctors & scientists around the world know to be true: Vaccines have saved millions of lives.

Donald Trump just passed the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in history and the tech oligarchs are now lining up to praise him.   The greed of the billionaire class knows no bounds. 🎥: Washington Post

“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”

Just another reason to keep giving Netflix my money.

National security threat???

The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation. They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank. Don’t fall for it.

This is what oligarchy looks like: Today, 2 Trump judges ruled that the NLRB’s structure is unconstitutional giving Elon Musk, worth $410 billion, & other union busters the absolute power to exploit workers & violate labor law with impunity. This disastrous decision cannot stand.

The UN says the famine in Gaza is “entirely man-made” and “could be halted & reversed.” Trump is supposedly a “tough guy.”   Well, it’s time for him to have the guts to stand up to Netanyahu and stop sending billions in U.S. tax dollars to Israel to starve children.

She is damn right and so is Bernie, we need a new vision!

So sad.

💥 The NFL is stoked to be woke. “All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change.’ africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

The most corrupt White House.

I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.

I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers. I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
