It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

No Kings Rally Trump Inauguration

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

b-b-b-but i was reliably told this was a gathering of antifa's top terrorists. how could this be?????????

I think they will, yes. At the very least, republicans are paying attention, particularly at the state and local level. You can’t just ignore millions of people protesting on a single day. The GOP is more convinced than ever they’re going to get blown out in the midterms, too.

Donald Trump just posted this video on Truth Social

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

This is absolutely true. If the NYT covered this the way they covered trans care, you all would finally understand what dangerous shit their trans care coverage has been.

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/19/t...

#Tylonol was invested 39 years after Autism was discovered🙄😬

"I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell." That's verbatim a line from Trump to assembled world leaders, talking about open borders. He then says the word "raped" a few times.

It’s actually blasphemy, at least in the Catholic Church, where even the Pope doesn’t liken himself to Christ.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

Wreck the algorithm!

"yeah, they get it..."

Horst Wessel's funeral was a big production number, too.

just nsync being insink: thread

I went borderline viral on the 🐦 app following the 2nd Fort Worth show in 2018. My 🧵 on the show ended up w/c.12k likes. As I am no longer active on 🐦 app, I shared it here: bsky.app/profile/mont...

Some people need to be reminded that Republicans went from “the Clintons eat babies to harvest adrenochrome” to slut shaming children in the service of their cult. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles How it started How it’s going

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Watch the Dutch kick Disney in their tiny mouse gonads…

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

GOP members have been doing this for the past 10+ years... Why should Dem members be any different? /smdh...

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

me, age 15: conservatism seems like a fundamentally evil belief system me, age 21: actually it is more complicated than that, things are very complicated and everyone has their own way of seeing things. i am very smart me, age 3x: no i was right the first time nvm

"US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will add a $100,000 (£74,000) annual fee for applicants to the H-1B visa programme for skilled foreign workers." This is just another MASSIVE opportunity for Europe.

The buzz around the abrupt cancellation of the Jimmy Kimmel show is hitting public awareness that this is in a whole different level of repression. #laff_havefun ##Seek_SpeakTruth

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

There goes the First Amendment.

1. As you know, Jimmy Kimmel’s show was canceled due to two factors. One is a federal government, specifically the FCC, that is turning into the Thought Police.

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Today's violation of Estonia's airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation. This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region. The EU stands in full solidarity with Estonia (1/2)

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

More than two million people are ordered to concentrate in an area of 65 sq km. That's three times the population density of NYC - in what is largely a wasteland with no adequate infrastructure and supplies. www.ochaopt.org/sites/defaul...

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

lol they know where the votes are. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

And no anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans provisions. "Protections against lawlessness" are NOT enough.

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document." Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

President Obama speaks out!

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

All the 2nd Amendment warriors are sure fucking quiet about the 1st right now. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel,

Sue all of those mofos, @jimmykimmel.com. NO FACIST USA. STAND UP!!!!!
