JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I spent yesterday talking to and interacting with over 35 young people ages 14 to 17 and THEY SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING and they HATE Trump. All of them were youth of color though and I have no idea what white youth are thinking right now. The problem is NOT youth of color. They absolutely HATE him.

“Go get a real job” is quickly becoming the popular refrain for dealing with these losers

New York, USA — September 9, 2025. A man reacts following a confrontation with federal agents on the 12th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, outside immigration courtrooms.

🚨There's new polling showing Sherrod Brown winning the Senate race in Ohio. Let's be clear: we *can* flip the Senate in 2026, but we're gonna need to break record-high youth turnout and persuade Gen Z. Can you chip in to help us do that? 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/votse...

omg 👀 This both humiliating and terrifying.

We have frogs everywhere. #NoKings

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets? Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

If you really want world peace all we have to do is stop oppressing other people. It's quite stupid how simple it all really is. #TrueAmericanPatriots #StandAgainstOppression

Reminder: Trump vaccinates himself 👇🏽

Caldwell thinks the Civil Rights Act was a mistake and calls for segregationist policy at the nation’s most revered newspaper. The idea that open racism is disqualifying in polite society should be put to rest.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

Another confirmation of the "everyone is twelve now" theory.

It is extremely funny to me that the number one thing the New York Post can think of to say about the new CBS News #2 is “his coworkers once got mad at him for liking Chik Fil A.“

Listen to the video. This is what people have to do to get through algorithmic censorship. With Meta, X, Tik Tok - we know only what they let us know. And AI has made their "thought police" capable of even reading that. Maybe we'll have to bring back pig Latin or cursive to outwit AI censorship.

While this country has been out here slandering us, calling us DEI... I have to chuckle. The average Black person raised during or before circa 1990-ish has more than likely led or organized *something.* If we're outspoken, from home to school to church to the 'hood... Y'all aren't hearing me.

Oop. Turns out that voters blame the GOP more for the shutdown by an average of 12 pts.

Folks in Milwaukee:

I don't want to live in a world where you can't go see the Goats play. Otherwise what is all this even for?

John Darnielle just gave a shout to Chicago for showing the country how to turn up when the fascists show up. ❤️

What we’re hearing around Detroit—early ICE storm Alt text has Spanish translation

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

for all the flapping about Uncommitted during the primary it has always been the Blue Dog centrist types who are most disloyal to the party

Goebbles or Miller?

They should have put ", sir" at the end

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

It took me a long time to learn that the line in "Blinded by the Light" isn't "Wrapped up like a douche..."

Sing "blinded by the light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band and tell me the lyrics. I've been singing it for years and I'm still not hearing "deuce"! 🤣

😕

Oh my God. Listen to this! Fox's Brian Kilmeade said of the homeless..... Give them a lethal injunction, just kill em. www.reddit.com/r/law/s/p0xj...

I imagine when Vice President Sofa King is sworn in, the snapback of Congressional authority will be audible.

Trump is clearly devastated by the death of Charlie Kirk. Here he is last night at the Yankees game dancing to YMCA. x.com/RpsAgainstTr...

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

This nation is founded on and continues to be enriched by racism. Period.

you cannot report the supposed DOJ memo about bullets with “transgender ideology” without pointing out that there is no commonly understood meaning for that term and we have no idea what they claim the bullets *actually* said

i was trying to remember where i’d heard this before
