How it started.... How it's going .... 💪⚖️🗳️👻

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

You first! Hegseth is a Murderer. He’s deeply sick,Insane & disturbed individual.He’s a NAZI,Confederate & believes in Christian Nationalism ideology. He’s not American He’s a trump sock puppet, henchman & loyal servant. He’s going to HELL! He’s an idiot,drunk & fool. 👇🏻 bsky.app/profile/thet...

Rumor has it that krasnov made the Portland move based on footage from 2020! Hold on! It gets better. Seems a defeated former congressperson, who now is in cabinet, & is full of grievance for #Portland. She fed him the footage and painted the picture! Lori Chavez-DeRemer is her name! Share it!😤

Hundreds of people have vanished from ICE's system at the Everglades internment camp. Families don't know where their loved ones are. This isn't deportation, it's kidnapping. That's why I introduced the SUDEM Act to hold ICE accountable and make this info public.

Neil Young always keeps it real.

Yes! Stephen Miller is our *actual* president, and NOBODY voted for him. Not a single person. This should piss you off regardless of where you stand politically. He attached himself to Trump b/c Trump is easily led, not out of any sort of loyalty or shared beliefs.

Chicago ICE attempted to apprehend a random delivery guy, but the delivery guy’s impressive escaping skills proved to be too much for the goons

Since every Republican in Congress is repeating their false talking point over & over that “Democrats want to shut down the govt to give free healthcare to illegal aliens,” it would be helpful if some Democrats in Congress could address that argument with facts at some point.

Honestly if you support this shit on any level I think you’re an evil person, like wtf is wrong with you.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

NEW VIDEO: I explain why Donald Trump is escalating his authoritarian crackdown on thought, dissent, media and organizations. We all must stand up and fight back. Please watch, learn and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kKt...

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Even after this insane outburst of McCarthyism right-wingers will continue to claim that they care about free speech and the press will continue to take those claims seriously. It’s completely bonkers.

Phil Williams sharing some data…

I’m trying to imagine the reaction to a NYT headline reading, “White House plans broad crackdown on conservative groups” under a Dem POTUS and I can’t even do it.

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

Make sure to read all of it!

I recommend everyone watches this

In 2015 it was "lock her up." In 2016 it was "2nd amendment solutions." In 2017 it was telling cops "please don't be too nice." In 2018 "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." In 2019 it was "can't you just shoot them in the legs or something?" In 2020 it was "stand back and stand by."

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

And of course, that judge would have grown up in the era before widespread vaccination and would've understood quite well what it meant not to have that.

Someone needs to tell CBS that at some point you bend the knee so far that you are just kneeling.

You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

NEW EPISODE: Documentarian Ken Burns joins @nicollewallace.bsky.social on “The Best People,” to discuss his upcoming doc on the American Revolution and how it showed him tensions felt today mirror tension that gave birth to our nation. WATCH the full episode on YouTube: www.msnbc.com/thebestpeople

High road democrats aren’t bad people. They’re simply in denial about how dire things are. Or afraid. Or unable to meet the moment. Wish them well. Then vote them out. Fighters only.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

With this administration, that only means they’d be even more proud about this lawless murder

I realize that the Democrats are pretty powerless, but we still need to fight! Sign the petition to impeach and remove RFK, Jr. at standupforscience.net. Call your congressperson at (202) 224-3121 and tell him or her to be VOCAL! #resist #protest #ImpeachRFKJr #vaccinessavelives

Peter Thiel, self-avowed atheist, has a new shtick: talking all about the anti-Christ, all the time. Is it all an attempt at misdirection? The timing of Thiel’s Antichrist lectures coincides with growing scrutiny of Palantir’s expanding role in government surveillance. fortune.com/2025/09/02/p...

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

I am a school librarian and I would love materials and supplies for the classroom. Please repost. Thanks so much. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Yes. Harsh but true. 👇

Governors know Trump and the American fascist party have no intention of giving up powers. Congress still needs to figure it out.

Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
