Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

If you have 30 minutes, I recommend watching this video. I explain what Trump has in store for 2026 and how we can fight back. If you find it helpful, please share it with others. youtu.be/7PXQfDHr9Aw

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.

Lavrov’s response 3 times is to insist that Russia has “never, ever targeted civilian sites.” So the apartment buildings and hospitals we see in flames every day and bodies of civilians is all made up apparently. This is who they are - liars and barbarians.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

In case you missed it, this is fucked www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."

Newsom releases new ad 🔥

Newsmax has settled with Dominion and will pay them 67 million dollars for defaming them over claims their voting machines were switching votes. Lying losers. Only fraud going on is your sham of a network.

"ICE" does not exist in any way that resembles what it was in its former life. This warrantless....non-identification bullshit...is the extension of the most evil, lawless...heartless son of a bitch in the United States of America.

I have been banging this drum for six years.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. Its work is more important today than ever before and so is your support. Consider becoming a member today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Crockett: We're talking about them going after Clyburn in South Carolina, Andre Carson in Indiana, Reverend Cleaver in Missouri. Emilia Sykes in Ohio, three of the four black representatives that we currently have in the state of Texas.  So don't tell me this isn't about race…

The call has always been coming from inside the house…

Heinous.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "They've talked about these fines, they've talked about trying to expel us from office... We're not too concerned about the personal or political costs. This is a lot bigger than us. This is about whether or not we will have free and fair elections in 2026."

Almost 30,000,000,000 passed onto Americans because of tariffs

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Yes, this IS absolute madness.

ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

"I completely agree with Nick Fuentes" is a sentence I never thought I'd write.

Low taxes bring shitty services

Disgusting.

They’re threatening the refs because they don’t like their calls.

Watters: I remember you said you can't win a trade war, no one wins a trade war. We just did. What did we give up? Jessica: The right to have affordable European goods

"The decision to bar the teenage athletes from entering the United States comes as the country prepares to host the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028..." www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Two things Trump doesn't want you talking about: 1. Why he's refusing to release the Epstein Files. 2. Why he prevents everyone from sharing information about the "assassination attempt" in Butler. Our duty as responsible citizens and defenders of democracy...is to keep talking about it.

over 30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. https://youtu.be/Bnd0eSuxu84?feature=shared

Russell Vought claimed on CNN this weekend that NIH funding is corrupt. A reminder, his family has directly benefited from the NIH.
