Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Mamdani: “We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves… So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have 4 words for you: turn the volume up.” *Crowd roars*

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Much better!

Tell me again, Donald, about the "Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax."

Absolutely correct @andrewjweinstein.com

See the difference? 👀 #NoKings

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members. They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

This Is Fascism

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

I remember when the GOP & right-wing hacks accused all Muslims of being Qatari agents & anyone who worked at Al Jazeera English or AJAM of being terrorists and extremists. So, what does that make Donald Trump, who accepted a $400 million jet from them & now is letting them build a base on US soil?

Sounds plausible. Land grab. Rachel Maddow reported on other land grabs in late winter, perhaps early spring.

George Conway @gtconway.bsky.social on the Comey indictment: "This indictment is just quintessentially Trumpian: it is both breathtakingly corrupt, and mind-blowingly stupid."

headline in my inbox: "The War on Tylenol". Except that it isn't? It's a eugenicist war on pregnant people, blaming them and their medical caregivers for autism, which the eugenicists regard as a fate worse than death. Focusing on Tylenol hides that fact.

After reading through this thread on the, um, the grim realities of today, perhaps consider a read through our guide on protecting yourself from government surveillance?

Years of Conservative cuts have hollowed out the legal aid system. @JoshBabarinde.bsky.social explains why the Lib Dems are fighting to restore legal aid funding—so everyone has the right to affordable legal support.

Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

Two photos. Two men. Two moments that mirror history. The first: Donald Trump, framed by the White House itself, standing before a crowd at Charlie Kirk’s memorial—an image crafted to project power, dominance, and obedience. 1/5

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Karl: “You've said that you restored free speech in America. Is that free speech, including for people who are harshly critical of you, for your political opponents, for people who say things you don't like?” Trump: “You're not a wonderful person. Frankly, you're a terrible reporter.”

The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know. It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda. 1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.

Look up who Horst Wessel was…they are doing the same thing to Charlie Kirk by making him a martyr for a movement…history does repeat itself..the “Reichstag Fire” comes next and then the outlaw of the Democratic Party…playbook was written over 90 years ago

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

If you have a screenshot of a US politician or leader blaming the left, or declaring some war, or anything before we knew who the shooter was, please post in the comments. We will need to keep these

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

CHICAGO!!! We’re out protesting at the Broadview Detention Center (1930 Beach St) where ICE is detaining and deporting our neighbors. We’ve scared them off once today. Come by and help us do it again.

The GOP usually LOVES these O’Keefe hidden cameras. Let’s see what they have to say about this one admitting the Epstein coverup.

Venezuela says the US and Erik Prince have plans to stage an attack on an ExxonMobil off-shore platform as a pretext to invade it…and normally that would be an insane claim but… www.latintimes.com/venezuela-sa...

Just in case you forgot…

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."

Yes. Yes, you are.

A late night message from Gavin Newsom

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

period reminder that incomprehensible piece of shit jerry falwell helped invent the evangelical objection to abortion so that they could gain enough political power to claw back gains made by Black Americans and other marginalized groups achieved during the Civil Rights era of the 1960's

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do. A guy whose businesses went bankrupt multiple times is telling the Fed what to do. A guy whose best friend was a child sex trafficker is telling the DOJ what to do. That it’s all the same guy is pretty wild.
