Having a normal press conference on the subject of the illegal destruction of The White House is ridiculous. Stop trying to normalize his criminal behavior 24/7. You didn't have a permit, you did this and it's illegal. Stop smiling for Fox News you psychos.

This is some of the scariest but most inspiring footage I’ve seen from Chicago: brave citizen, vigilant neighbors, cameras, whistles, screaming. Be ready, everyone. It’s coming to us everywhere. bsky.app/profile/roya...

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

In a nutshell: What weight should we give to polls on trans issues when a quarter of those polled don't know what "LGBTQ" stands for?

Don’t miss this amazing takedown by @alysbrooks.bsky.social of the polling on trans issues and how biased pundits like Ezra Klein seized on them to spread anti-trans myths www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This isn't the Trump Shutdown this is the Epstein Shutdown and I think Dems should call it that

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters. Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

Everyone who had the energy to protest today better have the same energy to vote next November.

Insane. Nearly *4,500* people turned out at the #NoKings event in Nanuet, NY, which beats the old record! Every age, ethnicity, religion, gender and orientation was represented. Here’s a quick drive-by of just one side of the rally. More vids and pics to come! @indivisrockland.bsky.social

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers. “These are the threats of a regime that is not secure in their power.“ - @ezralevin.bsky.social

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

The former U.S. surgeons general appointed by every Republican and Democratic president since George H.W. Bush have written an op-ed warning Americans that RFK Jr. is endangering the health of the nation by leading the department down a road which lacks scientific integrity and transparency.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

It really cannot be understated just how willing Republicans are to see this country and the world burn to the ground rather than do the bare minimum required of them by the oaths of office

They didn’t need democrats to confirm Trump’s nominees. They don’t need democrats to keep the government open. The government is closed because they want it closed. So they can continue to hollow it out, privatize essential functions, and use working class tax dollars to benefit the oligarchs.

"I think this is an aspirational fascist regime. I think that people like Stephen Miller & some of the architects of this state, who are far more efficient than Donald Trump, have a very clear fascist orientation & are testing the limits every single day," warns Bill Mullen. LISTEN: bit.ly/4nUovgo

I'm thinking today about Jane Goodall, whose life was a demonstration and a plea for empathy.
