This is what courage sounds like. Letitia James: “Stand tall. Never cow down or back down or break or bend. There is no fear today because I believe justice will rain down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.” 👏🏽

Can someone like @davidpriess.bsky.social @tim-weiner.bsky.social explain what it will take to securely rebuild Presidential bunker, so we can understand what it's going to take to do 2X--this time, when Trump rebuilds *that kind* of bunker, & then again when President @aoc.bsky.social replaces it?

🚨USPS mail carrier terrorized by ICE. A federal worker carrying mail over his shoulder suspected of being an “illegal immigrant? The worst of the worst?” No. He was existing while black. 1/2

It is 7:06 am in DC and Merkley is still speaking, displaying on a chart a cover of a book titled "How Democracies Die"

Posters today are like "Let him who is without a Nazi tattoo among you, cast the first stone!" and then completely flummoxed when like everbody picks up a fucking stone

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

What's funny is people said the ballroom would never be done because the construction clearly required doing major demolition work and he had promised not to touch it. I don't think people get this whole 'lying' thing yet.

Marginalized people who are targets and don’t feel safe protesting need to stay home and let the rest of us handle this. We know these people will shoot you in the street. Best to stay safe and support from behind the line.

83 year old Senator Mitch McConnell just tripped and fell while being asked about ICE

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress. Everything else is noise and bluster. This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

This is straight up white nationalist talking points posted by the DHS.

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California. California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Just another photo from the war torn streets of Portland OR. Left Coast Strong #LeftCoastStrong #TheAlliedForces

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

We’re already at the Anne Frank stage of things. It will get much worse if it can’t be stopped.

learn what propaganda is. recognize how hard it is to dislodge the lies of propaganda, big & small, from the minds of the people who are predisposed to want to believe them to support their world view. prepare to fight the very hard fight to re-establish the truth.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I love that the folks in Norway didn't want to just deprive Donald Trump of the Nobel Peace Prize he was so shamelessly hungry for, they awarded it instead to someone he would hate, a decent Latina woman working against undemocratic authoritarianism. Nice touch. 👨‍🍳👄

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

This is Chicago

the portland chicken explains

There were never any witches— only men who took pleasure in burning women they called witches. That’s the shape of all tyranny.

I wrote legal editorials for the Post for a hot minute many years ago, and I was constantly anxious about making sure I got the details right. This editorial is just humiliating for everyone involved

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.

A plainclothes officer sucker punches and violently arrests a man after he points out that another officer is deliberately stepping on a woman’s shoes while she is carrying her child.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

The United States is deliberately coordinating efforts to protect the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. It's being coordinated and directed from the Oval Office.

Goebbels was pretty smug also till he ended up a pile of ash outside a bunker as Soviet artillery chewed up Berlin...

This strikes me as pretty bad

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA. And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.

The image below being used by Oregon Republicans to show Portland 'burning to the ground' is actually from South America. If there is no crisis, MANUFACTURE ONE. That's the Republican plan. They've been lying for years and years. You can NEVER trust them, so don't!

Hot tip: cruelty is not “telling it like it is” or “being honest”

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”
