Trump militarizes more cities and gathers his generals, as ICE runs wild and he threatens a shutdown. I’ll discuss with IL congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social and former Pentagon spokesman @chrismeagher.bsky.social at 4p ET/ 1p PT. See you soon live on Substack and later on YouTube.

“The Antifa myth is a wedge that will be used to destroy free speech…. Democrats need to rally Americans with the argument that the threat to Antifa will one day be used against anyone who speaks out against Trump” - @jeetheer.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Good Morning Family! I have to post this for all the shitface supporters that think THIS!!

GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. He just pled guilty to child porn charges. - “Every accusation is a confession" keeps ringing true day by day. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/gop-...

An assault on mifepristone is an assault on women's rights!!

A most excellent article worth your time to read and to share! 🥂

Observations from @rbreich.bsky.social who is always so well informed - a good read!!

republicans are actively working to destroy our democracy so they can RULE over everyone because they do not have the maturity to learn how to live WITH everyone! Don't vote for intolerant people! Vote them out of every office for a better life!!

trump administration of abusing power to conceal their own crimes www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

trump administration of making us less safe everyday

Saw four brutal attack ads against Mikie Sherrill watching football yesterday and one middling ad against her opponent. They're just not going to win a war of negative ads at this rate and really need to offer a clear vision from Sherrill of who she really is and what she actually wants to do.

This is an important investigation and the context I’d add as a sociologist is how hard-to-use these programs already are for many—from years-long waiting lines for section 8 or housing, to lack of landlords willing to rent to Section 8 households, and ongoing loss of public housing units

Informative thread! trump administration of "we have no idea how to govern"

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

🔥NJ PBS (run by NY's WNET) shuts down JULY 2026. 2nd PBS station to announce this: WPSU, Penn State University's NPR & PBS affiliate, announced Sept. 11 that it will begin to "wind down" operations. Donald Trump making America DUMBER & LESS informed in emergencies.🔥 www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Almost nobody my age or younger has a real shot at owning a home. We need to ban hedge funds and private equity from buying homes, restore federal support for building housing, and expand VA-style home loans so working people can actually afford to own where they live.

I can only hear the line "Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" in the confused quiet voice my mom had went her dementia got really bad.

If you don't know this location in Chicago, I'm not sure I can convey how utterly ridiculous this mob of thugs looks patrolling this area on Sunday. It's a lot of families, couples and little groups of friends hanging out, going to nice restaurants, taking photos and enjoying the sights.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

DUMP trump and the party he rode in on! they are breaking laws and abusing power! they have NO beneficial policies for ALL Americans! they create problems and refuse to help solve them! We would be better off without them!!

He came here 30 years ago & is a gardner in Calif suburbs. He is no criminal, pays taxes, is married to an American & raised 3 sons- all three are US Marines. The U.S. Wants to Deport Him. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/u...

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

We cannot normalize militarizing American cities and suburbs. Make sure you know your rights and stay alert.

We’re joined by @harrylitman.bsky.social discussing how the mob boss in the White House is exposing the DoJ as nothing more than his private law firm with consiglieres unleashed like junkyard dogs to hound, harass and jail Trump's enemies. soundcloud.com/user-8304426...

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Reminder: American farmers lost the China market to Brazil (which Trump has pushed closer to China bc of his tantrum about Bolsonaro) and Argentina (which Scott Bessent is bailing out with $20B of taxpayer $$). Americans are literally paying Javier Milei to poach American soybean markets.

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

We do not have a Supreme Court. We have a Religious Extremist Court, working not to conflate Church and State, but to lift their version of Church above our State.

Every accusation ....

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.
