Folks, this is NOT how a #tripartite #Constitutional #government works. This is how a conman runs a shell game. The founders aren’t rolling over in their graves, they’re having nervous breakdowns and epileptic seizures. #unAmerican #DemocracyDiesThisWay #wtf

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

Pope Leo: “The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty.” ⚜️⚜️⚜️

If your politicians in #Memphis didn't come out to the #NoKings protest today, maybe you should ask them why. I was there. Why weren't they?

We had a blast at the No Kings protest in Eau Claire, WI today! Tons of people showed up to make their voices heard. #NoKingsDay

had a lot of fun at the #NoKings rally with @quiltlovinlisa.bsky.social!

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

#NoKings Miami!

Thank you Berkeley Springs WV!! ❤️ #nokings #WestVirginia #patriots

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

(🧵) A key irony in what is now happening in Portland, Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis, and D.C. is something I have not heard much discussed: in order to meet the high legal standard for deployment of federal troops, Trump must not only argue but establish by evidence that his agents are... incapable.

Folks - in case you’re just tuning in, this is NOT NORMAL in a #representative #democracy. Having #federal #prosecutors carry out your #political revenge fantasies is - let’s all say it together - NOT normal. www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p... #Trump #LetitiaJames #JamesComey #wtf

Trump & Republicans are quietly trying to disenfranchise millions of Americans. Submit a comment to the EAC to stop their scheme and protect voting rights: act.standupamerica.com/letters/eac-...

While Trump escalates his attacks on our freedoms with occupations of our cities and secret police forces terrorizing our communities, normal everyday people across the nation are showing up every single day with courage and defiance.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I’m glad to see this being said, but now is the time to put them into action, Governor. Show the people what action needs to be taken and take the actions people cannot take. Send your national guard to protect protestors. Go stand in front of the facility with the priest who got shot by ICE.

Americans are being far too complacent about masked government agents in unmarked vehicles grabbing people and taking them to unknown destinations.

Across Chicagoland today, more kidnappings continue. Immigration agents have taken people from Waukegan, Elgin, Glendale Heights, potentially some other suburbs. In the city proper, feds just snatched someone near Peterson and Pulaski—and earlier today, they grabbed someone from Little Village.

Got a recent Pulitzer for warning on the spread of autocracy around the globe, after decades of service to the paper? You can bet your butt you're getting laid off by form email, on Yom Kippur

Those influencing Trump education policy aren't shy about wanting to eradicate public schools. Asked what % of kids she imagines should be in public schools, Tiffany Justice -- Moms for Liberty cofounder, now with Heritage Foundation -- told @propublica.org “I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.”

I never had sexual relations with that woman, Ms Corpus…

Just to be absolutely clear: The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person. And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

Free speech zones and now free speech hours? Are there free speech holidays next? Free speech overtime? What are the free speech benefits and is dental included?

“During a 71-minute speech to senior #military leaders in Quantico, Virginia, President Donald Trump suggested that the military use “dangerous cities as #training grounds.” - CNN Train. Military. On. #Civilians. Where are we??? Cambodia? Burma? North Korea? This is #junta speak.

Read the Comey indictment: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨The indictment of James Comey is another step — moving the country into compliance with fear. My fear is that people would rather be blindly led than stand up for principles; humanity. “Never again” sailed past us all 5 months ago. WTF PEOPLE?!

25 Sep 25 -- Poll from 19thNews/Survey Monkey finds majority of American's oppose bans on care for adults and kids. Just 37% back care for trans minors (53% for adults) BUT... half oppose the idea of lawmakers banning medical care for trans youth. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Escalation Alert 🚨 Starting tonight National Guard troops in D.C. are ARMED. Most will carry M17 pistols. Some may carry M4 rifles. This is a dangerous escalation of militarization in our nation’s capital. Stay safe. Do NOT provoke the Guard. Document, protect each other, & stay safe.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"In one federal study, 37% of incarcerated transgender people reported having been sexually assaulted in prison, versus 3% of everyone else behind bars."

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…

Dear Cankles McTaco Tits,

President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.

No one can convince me these masked “federal agents” aren’t white supremacists having a field day.

A new UC Riverside report sounds the alarm: brutal immigration enforcement is fueling a public health crisis for kids in mixed-status families. Detention, deportation & raids are leaving children, immigrant and US-born, traumatized w/anxiety, disrupted development, and fear of losing their parents.
