KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

Newsom: "People ask, 'Are you being hyperbolic?' Bullshit we're being hyperbolic. If you're Black or brown, it's here in this country. And so I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address masking ... these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian govt"

Every single day, multiple times per day until the files are released in their entirety.

Close enough

National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

How to save the American university

In keeping with the #TrumpleThinSkin method of denial, I just fired my bathroom scale because it said I gained four pounds! #lyingGOP #Taco #BlueCrew #resist

Under the trump Republican autocracy, "facts" are whatever they say they are. We are now living under tyranny in the twilight zone.

There is a a Black-owned bookstore in Las Vegas. It is called Analog Bookstore. Please support! #Blacksky

The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief. This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it. Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

The recent discussion of DOJ “burn bags” should be a warning to everyone calling for the release of the Epstein files: They may no longer exist. This is, after all, a very ham-fisted cover-up.

This stuff just writes itself!

Perfect!!

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We can, in essence, likely neuter the total number of districts that Trump is looking to get with Abbott in rigging those [Texas] maps, here in the state of California. Hope other governors consider doing similar things. You've got to fight fire with fire."

‘1984’ is upon us If you think cutting $1 trillion from medicaid won’t cost people insurance and make things more expensive you don’t understand how things work

We are living in an age of bullies. Those with power are less constrained today than they have ever been in my lifetime. The question is: how do we lead moral lives in this era? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/28/bullies-moral-lives-robert-reich

Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.

Thank you to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for showing up and taking a stand this weekend. We loved the signs, so many of them made us laugh. This weekend showed that the resistance is growing and that we have friends everywhere! Scotland the Brave!

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

“After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence.” (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

Isaiah has been dragged to the ground and arrested inside of the Texas State Capitol for speaking out against Greg Abbott and Donald Trump’s illegal gerrymandering. We are waiting for more information as it develops.

A reminder that Bondi already has access to all of the Epstein files, but is pretending that she needs to go through the laborious process of unsealing grand jury testimonies. It’s all political theater to fool the rubes in her base into thinking she’s doing something. She’s just covering for Trump.

It was Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday, and Ghislaine Maxwell was preparing a special gift to mark the occasion. She turned to Epstein’s family and friends. One of them was Donald Trump./1

'Mass casualty event': US rescuers search for victims in Texas flash floods https://twp.ai/4inygk

With Indigenous women long being victims of kidnapping, SA, and m*rder, who’s to say some fake ICE agent won’t use that opportunity to disappear a Native woman, or a masked deputized one to disappear her for profit or trafficking and it goes unsolved like too many others? Families would never know…
