So grateful to these amazing Dangerous Ones: Jim and Tiffany Drastic and Nick Knudsen. I get to ride on the coattails of the incredible work they did, starting from nothing and building a network. Everything they do is to remind us: we're not alone.

 Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said she told the Trump administration that her state doesn't need or want American troops deployed in the city of Portland.

If the govt shuts down, I could lose work. If it stays open at the cost of gender-affirming care, I could lose my child. I can replace lost income. I can't replace my daughter. @gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, don't sacrifice trans people on the altar of political convenience.

🚨 Enough is enough. Democrats are standing up to Trump’s shutdown circus and demanding a government that works for the people. Watch it go down! #DonaldTrumpsShutdown social.demcast.com/s/k5vioxyl

Uh this is legit bonkers. Well I guess we know who to blame for the shutdown.

that's the story, folks

Trump LIES again DC’s violent crime: Lowest in 30 years Trump's real motive: Power grab, martial law, quashing our 1st amendment rights to protest Remember: The Power of the People is greater than the people in power! Keep defending democracy #TruthBrigade #TruthBrigadeIL bbc.in/4fPQGdH

Voters should pick their representatives Politicians should NOT pick their voters MAGA bullies for billionaires are out to rig the election by redistricting congressional maps now They cheat because they know they'll lose in 2026 The way to stop bullies is to face them. Thanks California

The 1st Amendment is clear: the gov't can't use its power to censor free speech. Americans value this fundamental right. The Trump regime is abusing its power-stopping ideas they don’t like, deciding who can speak, write, or joke. Fight back. Silence is surrender. #TruthBrigade #TruthBrigadeIl

Violence has no place in our politics, schools, or communities. Yet MAGA fans the flames while blocking common sense gun laws most Americans support. We must unite to end rule by bullies and make this a nation where everyone can come home safe. #TruthBrigade #truthbrigadeil

Americans of every race, background, and party value freedom. But the MAGA regime—bullies for billionaires—seizes communities, attacks families, and weaponizes government to grab power. Families unite to Free America, demanding leaders stop this assault on our freedom and future. #TruthBrigadeIL

The DOJ: Violent crime in D.C. has hit a 30 year low. An actual pedophile: It’s Gotham City here, folks!

Judge explicitly calling out the DOJ's sad little attempt of acting like they want more info released.

🚨 A federal judge just shredded Trump’s DOJ over its push to release Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury files — calling the move “disingenuous” and “aimed at diversion.” The ruling says the files contain nothing new on Epstein… raising bigger questions about why Trump wanted them unsealed.

🚨⚖️📚Judge in Maxwell case shuts down DOJ’s push to unseal grand jury transcripts, calling Trump admin’s “treasure trove” claim misleading—most info’s already public, no big revelations inside. Katie urges public to demand accountability for the lies!

New lawsuit presses DOJ to release communications about Epstein files kentuckylantern.com/2025/08/11/r...

I literally sent my children (14 & 11yo) on a scavenger hunt around D.C. last week BY THEMSELVES. They walked, they took the bus, and they took the metro/subway. These folks are either the biggest liars for their own political purposes or the biggest bunch of sheltered wimps on the planet. Or both.

Not even the National Guards will silence our voices. Stand tall, D.C. and we will do the same in our cities. The pedophile can deflect all he wants but he will NOT silence us… we will continue to call his vile ass out! #Pinks #SheShed

BANNON on Trump’s D.C. takeover: “I hope this is a template for Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.” 🤔 (Reminder: This is an authoritarian power grab to distract from his Epstein cover-up)

Trump was just fine with this and never deployed the Washington, D.C. National Guard. I can't qWhite understand that.

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he is taking federal control of the D.C. police and deploying 800 National Guard troops to the nation's capital to crack down on homelessness and crime.

President Trump's decision to mobilize the National Guard to conduct municipal policing in D.C. lacks seriousness and is deeply dangerous. We await outreach from the White House if they want to have a serious conversation about public safety. But we won’t hold our breath.

Trump planning a military takeover of Washington DC just because he feels like it should be terrifying more people. Yet it feels like folks are numb to it. This shit is not normal. Alex Garlands civil war literally predicted a fascist president would takeover DC. #DC #Takeover #Washington

Families are joining together to stop the Trump MAGA regime from turning our government into a weapon against our people. #FreeDC

Trump is using "rising crime" to justify his DC takeover. But the truth is... crime 26% this year! So what's the real reason? A 2 for 1 deal: to distract from the Epstein files & numb Americans to weaponizing the National Guard!

Taxes should be fair. Trump’s illegal tariffs are effectively a TAX on all of us. The brunt of that tax will be felt by the most vulnerable populations. This tax increase on all of us offsets the impact of the tax decrease on the rich. Is this a fair tax? NOPE #truthbrigade #truthbrigadeil

Don’t mess with democracy. Millions are ready to defend it—inside the House, across the country, & in every place that refuses to be steamrolled. Use the resources within this article by @thejenniwren.teamlh.social! www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/the-texas-...

Trump's illegal tariffs are taxing us all, raising prices despite his promises. Congress can stop this but won't. Demand action from your representatives. Register and vote in November 2026 for accountability! #truthbrigade #truthbrigadeil www.youtube.com/watch?v=kusr...

Abbott could have delivered flood relief without a special session. Instead, there is a blatant power grab going on. Blue states can no longer sit idly by as MAGA Republicans try to rig the rules. It’s time for blue states to take the gloves off. #MessWithTexas #truthbrigade #truthbrigadeil

[A]s Pritzker knows, our neighbor’s mess is our mess too. TX’s attack on democracy is going to affect the composition of the House & that affects everyone in the country...We’re all one country, which is why it makes sense for TX legislators to fight for democracy by coming to IL. ~Noah Berlatsky

"We're in a crisis moment in America," says WA Attorney General Nick Brown @atg.wa.gov, describing the lawlessness we see from the president, the attorney general of the US, cabinet secretaries & more. He & other AGs will keep fighting, but he says all of us must engage with our communities & act!

"This president cannot be negotiated with," says Rhode Island Attorney General @peterneronha.bsky.social. "If you don't stand and fight, he'll run you right on over. So together, you and we are committed to fight...to the end!"

Check out all the ways @ilattygeneral.bsky.social Kwame Raoul has acted to protect us, including his many challenges to the Trump administration's unlawful acts. www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/News-Room/

"We have a president who's violated our Constitution & laws in a manner that's a harm to the people" says @ilattygeneral.bsky.social Kwame Raoul. But he's fighting back! Most recently, he & coalition sued Trump admin to stop its unlawful attempt to restrict access to health, ed, social service progs

In the face of authoritarianism, Democratic attorneys general are fighting for us!

Yes, you need a "big tent" to defeat rising fascism. But for that tent to stand, it must have a pole - otherwise it's a tarp that will simply smother you. You don't run from but rather on your values. And make clear that if you want to know who took your money...it's the people with all the money.

You have to get people to point their finger at the bad guy, not the brown guy. How? Make clear that most of us - Black, White or Brown want similar things. Then, call out the villains: the billionaires & politicians they pay for. Finally, call for solidarity so the many can defeat the money.

We owe an extraordinary debt to this woman who was put through hell and continues to speak out not merely for herself but for the very notion of justice.

“It was a nightmare.” “(The guards) tortured us physically and psychologically.” “We were like chickens or rats locked up … and they shot us with rubber bullets.” Words from Venezuelan migrants sent to a prison in El Salvador. Unimaginable cruelty. www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/a...
