TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

For anyone needing a timeline cleanse, yesterday I had the privilege of adopting my wife’s 5 y/o son to whom I’ve been a stepfather to since he was 11 months old. Feeling on top of the world today!

More pro-death shit from the self proclaimed “pro-life party.”

I have not gotten as many texts asking if I saw "the news" since Joe Biden dropped out

Last year, broken air conditioning systems in Orlando schools led to students being hospitalized with heat-related illness. This year, teachers say: Never again. They’re using their union power to demand safe, cool classrooms.

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social

Sometimes really serious people follow me on here and I really wonder what led them to this abyss

100% this. Dems lose policy debates because they’re always fighting from a defensive posture. It validates the attack lines, and the attack lines are what sticks in the public’s minds.

The media is far more likely to frame liberal-left politicians, like Mamdani, as extremist than they are the President, who has made no attempt to conceal his authoritarian inclinations.

It can be both a distraction and a dangerous moment for democracy

With Trump set to use crime as a fake justification to threaten DC today, media coverage should make one thing clear: At this point his pattern of manufacturing pretexts for militarizing domestic law enforcement has become undeniable. Some thoughts on that here: newrepublic.com/article/1987...

This whole thing screams “chocolate city is too black” to me

Apparently omw in to an active war zone! (taking the metro in to DC, like I have done without issue for the last 3 years)

Just accepted a voluntary bump from a flight with a connection to a direct flight that gets me in 2 hours earlier AND a $700 flight credit. I fear I will be chasing this high forever.

As the Department of Labor considers a rule change that would prevent home care providers from earning minimum wage or overtime, we need to make our voices heard. Learn more. www.afscme.org/blog/a-new-r...

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Love getting a check in notification to check in for tomorrow’s flight while boarding tonight’s. #NN25

The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.

Gotta say it’s strange that colleges and universities get touted as examples of left wing extremism, yet all these prolific schools are going out with a whimper rather than engaging in any form of civil disobedience to exert their rights. Shameful, really.

The call is coming from inside your office, Senator. www.cnn.com/2025/08/02/p...

Again, Zohran should run with this. Mass print O'Leary's tweet a the caption saying "We're the campaign that replies 'no interest' when billionaires try to make backroom deals with us".

In part 91834 of "Every Accusation is a Confession:" The people who were shouting that FEMA is building camps decided to make FEMA build camps.

Back on Xitter for the time being. Seems like Bluesky is best for engaging activists, but suboptimal for broader education and outreach efforts. Feel free to follow me there, too. Let’s try to bridge the gap between these two sites.

1. Coercive treatment doesn’t work. 2. You can’t arrest your way out of a housing crisis. 3. All of these people are about to get kicked off Medicaid because of his cuts so who does he think is paying?

The institutions did not hold.

Shit like this is why people do not trust Dems. Shit like this is why people say “both sides are the same.” Shit like this is why Democrats lose elections handed to them on a silver platter.

NEW: Sen. Angus King admits he made "a mistake" when he voted Tuesday to confirm Josh Divine, an 35-year-old archconservative with a long record of attacking abortion rights, to a lifetime federal judgeship. “I took Josh Hawley’s advice." www.huffpost.com/entry/angus-... w/ @igorbobic.bsky.social

Notable: Trump UN nominee Mike Waltz was on track to fail by a tie vote in committee, but Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen cast a decisive vote to rescue him. 12-10, he advances to the full Senate.

It’s giving

Can’t believe it took Trump this long to walk into Obama’s trap. h/t to Hillary and Joe for not tipping our hand too soon

Chicago is amassing too much power

Also notable: Trump and Leavitt are saying they told WSJ the letter is fake (per Trump’s post), implying they not only saw it, they saw it ahead of time. And here Vance is saying they never saw it. That math ain’t mathin.

thinking about the dems who said we can't abolish ICE as the Department of Education gets wiped off the map

When ppl talk about “moderate” republicans, remind them 3 of 6 conservative justices on SCOTUS dismantling America were appointed by “moderates.” What we are witnessing is a culmination of “moderate” republican policies. Doesn’t matter how you dress ‘em up; they all wanted this.

Oh. I thought media had learned their lesson about writing Trump turns a corner stories

Frankly, why aren’t Dems calling for sanctions against regimes that accept these people after this administration? For ppl playing the “wait until we have power again,” establishment Dems are oddly quiet about what things would look like. Catastrophic mistake to not define themselves rn

Everyone responsible for these policies must be held to account. And countries that accept these people should be sanctioned during the next Dem administration.

He is 100% in there extensively.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

All of the major media organizations over the last decade have been systematically bought up by oligarchs, dismantled, and turned into propaganda organs benefiting the oligarchs. This was not by accident, this was a concerted effort to exercise more control over US society.

Accidentally found myself in heartwarming TikTok and honestly I am not emotionally prepared for that

This is correct and it's why public opinion doesn't actually do anything on its own. It has to be mobilized. You have to DO politics.

Are you also policing non-homeless ppl using drugs? Are you judging ppl living with good material conditions who “have a couple of drinks” to take the edge off after a bad day? bc the folks living on the street have more of a reason to want to numb themselves than ppl with a roof over their head

Hey folks 👋 I’m a mid-Michigan dad and a union educator who’s been standing up to billionaires like Betsy DeVos. Now I’m running for Congress to lower costs—and invest in families. Will you pitch in to help launch my grassroots campaign? 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/cowen...

Some Dems would rather align themselves with hate and bigotry to “expand the tent” than actually work with people who want to center working families.

Dean—this is called expanding the tent. And it’s doing so without forcing others out of the tent

Everyone like this needs to be hounded out of the Democratic Party. These are people who genuinely believe a permanent Trump/GOP trifecta is a better outcome than policy being slightly left of their preferences. They are a major reason why millions of people who agree with Dems don't bother to vote.
