A spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott argued his office’s emails with Elon Musk are confidential under a “common-law privacy” exception to public records laws because they may include “intimate and embarrassing” information. (Published July) With @kutnews.bsky.social @texastribune.org

I predict when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, espionage WILL prove to be Trump's greatest crime - the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history. We will discover he passed or sold secrets to Russia from day 1 - and to the Saudis shortly thereafter.

Oh wow

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Democracy in action, Illinois. Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trump’s takeover of our democracy.

World War 2 veterans, the original antifa, took part in the nationwide protests against the fascist Trump regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Be peaceful. Be powerful. Let the world know: America has NO kings.

Protest is good for you and good for the nation. Get out there

Everyone please call your local TV and radio stations and ask them to send a crew to the protests and report on them. Much of the media would prefer to ignore them like they did last time, even claiming they didn't know it was happening. Make sure they know this time and that we want to see it.

"One evolution of authoritarian governments in larger and more industrialized countries in the last half-century has been to target minority groups and dissenters surgically, to leave as much of the population as possible able to go about their regular lives..."

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump’s fraud stunt with the tariffs on China, cost the US economy $1.65 trillion, which was wiped out in seconds.

Make your plans to attend a #NoKings event on Saturday, October 18th. Millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. Please join in! You'll see me at one of the events. www.nokings.org

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

Is this "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"?

Feeling frustrated about this government shutdown and don’t know what to do? Take action with us! We’re organizing to help Democrats win and defeat Republicans in key elections. Join us ⬇️

Trump has to rush his consolidation of power before he’s debilitatingly unpopular. That’s what authoritarians do. What we do is organize massive, peaceful resistance that unifies the opposition, retakes power, and ushers in an era of accountability & reform: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Democrats lost the House by fewer than 8,000 votes in 2024. In 2026—thanks to the work of thousands of volunteers who are already knocking doors and making calls—we’ll close that gap and flip it back to blue.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

In July, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

look at the map here -- more than 2000 protests planned already... www.nokings.org

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for replacing Dept. of Education employees’ “out-of-office” emails with partisan political messages during the federal shutdown. This use of official resources is both unprecedented and a violation of the First Amendment.

NEW: A 20-year federal prosecutor, fired abruptly this week even as he lead case against Abbey Gate bomber, warns his colleagues: the Trump administration is sacrificing national security to purge Trump's perceived adversaries. w/ @dnlbrns www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

A year ago, both Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly and his top military advisor Mark Milley warned America that Trump was a “fascist.” As Milley said: “He is the most dangerous person ever…he's a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country.”

Propagandists previously paid by Russia are now being paid by the Trump regime and its criminal network through 3rd party intermediaries. They are still coordinating the same messaging but now with US government assistance, meaning your tax money is paying for MAGA propaganda.

With ACA tax credits, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 pays ~$7,000 for their annual premium. Without ACA tax credits, the same couple could be forced to pay nearly $30,000. I know Republicans only speak "billionaire"—but middle-class families can't afford this.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. This government shutdown is on them.

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

Make sure your friends and relatives know who’s responsible for the Trump Shutdown with our social media toolkit: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/trum...

Side note: Abolish ICE. Seriously, they didn't exist until 9/11 happened. Other law enforcement agencies can handle this.

It's this simple: the GOP controls the White House + Congress. They could pass a clean CR that keeps the government open. They would rather slash health benefits for working class families. Trump and the GOP are holding sick Americans hostage. Democrats refuse to abandon sick Americans. That's it.

Priorities.

There appears to be some commonality amongst those states 👀

If you live in: South Dakota Louisiana West Virginia Wyoming Tennessee Mississippi Alaska Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

Hopefully most of them came away with this obersvation

The GOP wants to let enhanced ACA tax credits expire, skyrocketing health care costs for millions. Some perspective: Trump’s billionaire tax cuts cost 10 TIMES what it’d take to extend the ACA tax credits and keep care affordable. They don't care about working people.

Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) is prepared to cave on negotiations to prevent a government shutdown. This cowardly move would allow Republicans to avoid the shame of a shutdown while ripping healthcare away from millions. Call Schumer’s Office and tell him to vote NO: (202) 224-6542

3 ways you can make noise about the shutdown if you have a GOP Member of Congress. 1) Find where they publicly said Dems want healthcare for illegals [sic] and--in the most aggrieved voice possible--berate them for claiming their constituents who rely on ACA are not real Americans.

I think it’s going to be a hard sell for Republicans to convince most people that the 22 million people who will see their health insurance premiums skyrocket if ACA premium subsidies go away are all trans migrants.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are prepared to roll over to avoid a shutdown. That cannot happen, because it is exactly what Trump wants. Now is the time to fight. Call their offices and tell them. @schumer.senate.gov : (202) 224-6542 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : (202)-225-5936

The dream of the 90's is alive in Portland

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.
