Please listen to historian Joanne Freeman from 45:29-46:00 into this video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=isBC...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

For kicks 😂

Most rapists operate on the premise that they can not only overpower the victim physically, but can do so socially and legally. They count on a system that discounts the voices of victims and only too often cooperates in silencing them...

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

MBS claims the murder of Khashoggi was "a huge mistake and we're our doing our best that this doesn't happen again."

But the important bits will be redacted because it’s ‘classified’ information, don’t you know. You can tell by how buoyant they are that the fix is in. Why else get 1,000 FBI agents to drop everything and go through the thousands of documents immediately? We all know why that was so urgent.

Monstrous. Utterly preventable destruction and suffering. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Remember when Joe Biden took US Representatives into the Situation Room, where no one could see/hear/record the conversation, and then pressured the Rep to block the release of information about a giant pedophile ring of wealthy child molesters? Me neither.

Every time I say things that require people to examine their own belief structures/admit flaws (to themselves) some people block me. Will that stop me from being a truth teller? No. It's important for us all to be able to look at ourselves honestly. If we can't change our minds why are we engaging?

I'll just assume you didn't see the clip bsky.app/profile/acyn...

There's so much negative MTG talk on here that it's disturbing. No one is suggesting that we invite her to dinner, but that we be strategic. Here's a writeup by someone who used to work in politics and belonged to a cult. If you're spouting MTG hatred, please give this a read. Please share.

Uh... *who's* forgiving Majorie Taylor Greene?🤨 Name them. Hint: siding with her fight against Trump isn't the same as "forgiving" her. Anyway, if the the left doesn't learn to think strategically, then continued losses will be the outcome.

As Trump continues to escalate his National Guard war on Democratic-led cities, it’s more essential than ever to stay in the loop. That’s why we launched a deployment tracker, which provides a visual breakdown of where things stand, and how we got here👇

Two peas in a pod 💚💚

Sorry, this seat's taken

Happy Cute Mildred Monday 💚

Are you watching the new Ken Burns show The American Revolution?

Are you ready to accept MAGA voters who are turning on el Pendejo? The following excerpted from Rebecca Solnit Anand Giridharadas wrote a book ... The Persuaders about how skilled outreach workers changed enough minds to win on marriage equality and other issues; thread continues in comments

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Make sure you read this @mattgertz.bsky.social piece on Trump's on-going efforts to turn more mainstream media into his propaganda playthings. "We are moving down a dark path."

It's not that I think she's actually "found Jesus" and is repenting, it's that her turning on trump is a super valuable/useful thing for everyone who hates trump. She's hardcore MAGA so her attacks on him carry more weight in trump world. So let's capitalize on it and use it against the bastard.

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

Does that mean we can use Biggs to also File a Motion to Vacate---and get MJ removed from Speaker?🤔

TRUMP: “The affordability crisis is a con job by the Dems.” REALITY:

A federal appeals court upheld the hate crime convictions of three white men who chased Ahmaud Arbery with pickup trucks before one of them killed him with a shotgun

The GOP can never claim the moral high ground on anything ever again!

"New disclosures posted Saturday...show that Trump’s purchases of at least $82 million include bonds from Netflix Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Boeing Co., Meta Platforms Inc., Home Depot Inc., Broadcom Inc. and Intel Corp., of which the US government acquired a stake under his administration."

I do hope every citizen who gets the pavement banging racial profiling treatment from Stephen Millers thugs files a lawsuit. Against the individual officers, so that a chilling effect starts to occur. I know ICE was given an enormous amount of money but Trump, but lets get some back...

Heavily armed fascists kidnapping American citizens, now in Charlotte

Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

We are investing our hope in you to continue fighting the fascist regime. Wasted spaces like Schumer need to be replaced with senators & representatives that are willing to fight for all working class Americans. Are you forming a coalition to find candidates to primary the weak a$$ sellouts?

@democrats.senate.gov GET RID OF Schumer! ENOUGH backstabbing. Corporate Dems betrayed us, AGAIN! Caring more for $ than for us. Airline industry lobbyists were pushing to end the shutdown before its busy season and Dems threw us under the bus for it. #Traitors #Liars Centrist Dems are over!

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Michigan senate candidate @abdulelsayed.bsky.social agrees this shutdown fight is more evidence of the need for Medicare for All 👇🏽

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

It sure as hell better be!!
