Where the hell are all the detainees from "Alligator Alcatraz?" Are we just not gonna talk about that? And what seven "wars" did he stop? How about the Venezuelan boats? And the $50,000 that Tom Homan took? And the EPSTEIN FILES!!!

Thinking of starting a Go Fund Me for the first reporter that asks Trump "What the fuck are you talking about?"

So we're supposed to believe that someone on the left -- you know, the people that want immigrants to be treated humanely -- shot three immigrants in an ICE detainment center? Do I have that right?

Comedian Colin Mochrie pointed out that an anagram of Donald Trump is Lord Dampnut and now I will be using that name forever henceforth.

Dear RFK Jr: My kid is autistic and is a better human than you could ever dream of being. Also: "Tylenol" is a brand name. The drug itself is acetaminophen. But six syllables is probably beyond the ability of your heroin-addled brain.

A little agog; a little humbled: A post I put up on Threads has gotten more than a little attention in the last 24 hours and this morning I learned that The Politics Chicks were quoted and credited for that very post on the @stephaniemiller.bsky.social show this morning. Eek!

Political violence threatens democracy—no matter who the target is. Indivisible’s Ezra Levin calls for moral clarity and peaceful action after the Charlie Kirk shooting. Read his powerful message and learn how to organize for nonviolent change. 🕊️ open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

The news feels like a flood I can’t outrun—political violence, rights stripped away, even thoughts of leaving the country. Here’s why I’m stepping back but not giving up. open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Real decency means compassion for families and honesty about legacies. It means grieving with the widow and children while refusing to launder the record of the man. open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

You guys, LOOK!! 👀I met @politicsgirl.bsky.social tonight! Leigh McGowan was the keynote speaker for the DWSOC meeting tonight. Love you, Leigh! (I was totally fangirling!) Thanks for the inspirational speech and for caring enough about democracy to be here. (See what I did there?) 💙💙💙

This was almost too easy.

“If people had just believed the women, we wouldn’t be in this mess.” From Anita Hill to Christine Blasey Ford to the survivors of Epstein and Maxwell, women have spoken their truth. Too often, power silenced them. It’s time to listen. #BelieveWomen open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Monica and I both turn to our creativity as a way to cope with what she calls "the flood of awful". I do not have Monica's musical muscle, so I fall back on my artwork.

I met Dora by chance, and in less than an hour, her story broke my heart. A former teacher from Mexico, now a house cleaner in California, she has built a life, raised a family — and lives in fear of ICE. Her story is not unique, but it should shake us all. 💔 open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Lesson plans during the fall of democracy.

We are finding collective hope even as Trump demands boots on American streets. He faces governors who refuse to bow, citizens who refuse to be silent, and a steadily rising dam of resistance.. open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Trump and his allies count on overwhelming us with so much chaos that we stop paying attention. But as Alex Schiller’s viral post shows, the right questions make the corruption impossible to ignore. open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

If you claim to be a good person, but you stand with Trump's regime, I have a newsflash for you: You're not a good person. Good people don't stand by or applaud racism, xenophobia, homophobia, hate, and retribution. Good people take care of each other.

Hey MAGA: You know which two countries comparable to the United States have state ownership of corporations? China and Russia. Remember how much you hated communists? Congrats, Comrades—that’s your team now.

Pay attention. Wake the f up America. They’re not playing around. newrepublic.com/article/1994...

What the fundunkle is this nonsense? If you don’t feel a hell of a lot less safe right now, you’re not paying nearly enough attention. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u....

Where do you sit on this? Maybe take the time and let @heritagefdn.bsky.social know how you really feel. Thanks @governorwalz.mn.gov for making Minnesota universal free school lunch a reality in our great state of Minnesota.

Engaging with MAGA supporters isn’t a battle of facts. It’s a collision between reality & programming, where echo chambers drown out nuance & stubbornness masquerades as conviction. All this acknowledged, there remains a path forward for our nation to find healing. open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Make no mistake. The DOJ is scheduled to start releasing the Epstein files today. This is is a calculated distraction. Keep your eyes squarely where they belong and refuse to look away. apnews.com/article/trum... apnews.com/article/trum...

We’re worse off than we thought. He now needs to wear his name embroidered on his shirts so he can remember who he is when he looks in the mirror.

From butter sculptures at the Minnesota State Fair to Texas legislators needing permission slips to leave the chamber, this week’s What the Cluck?!? has it all: Tim Walz wholesomeness, Nicole Collier’s courage, and Gina Hinojosa calling out GOP hypocrisy. open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Am I tripping, or is DJT telling Ukraine to bomb Russia?!? But yeah, give the guy the Nobel Peace Prize.🙄

🚨 Trump has again turned U.S. troops against Americans — this time in D.C., despite crime being at a 30-year low. Back in March, Christy Branham warned exactly about this abuse of power. Her words are even more urgent now. Read on @PoliticsChicks: open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Hillary Clinton to Trump in 2016: You'll be Putin's puppet. Kamala Harris to Trump in 2024: Putin would eat you for lunch. They were right. The women were right. Again I say: women will save us.

Sometimes we need to surrender to the darkness in order to refind our inner light. open.substack.com/pub/thepolit...

Strong leaders never complain & let their accomplishments speak for themselves. The telltale sign of weakness & narcissism: being a braggart and blaming others for their own failures, shortcomings, and insecurities. Donald Trump is absolutely incapable of shutting his word hole.

Remember the movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”? Trump’s going to have his hands full tomorrow with the posse showing up with Zelenskyy tomorrow. One can only hope the White House staff hid all the ketchup bottles. apnews.com/article/euro...
