🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win. Kander: That shit pisses me off. Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Another day, another step towards fascism

NEW: Far-right sheriffs and election deniers are teaming up to police elections and sow doubt about their integrity. From seizing voting machines to patrolling ballot boxes, their tactics offer a glimpse into how Trump could use them to subvert elections.

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

When are we going to realize his intention is not to lead this nation, serve it's people and make it great again, but to destroy it and force a takeover? Our checks and balances no longer exist. This won't be solved peacefully.

While in Porto, Portugal this past week, my wife and I met a British couple at a bar who were shocked we were not Trump supporters. Apparently much of Europe thinks all Americans condone this corrupt immoral evil circus.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

I saw this written on a wall in Portugal yesterday

Nazaré Portugal. Absolutely stunning

Trumps UN speech made me embarrassed to be an American

You’re my Bluesky, you’re my Sunny day. Lord you know you make me high when you turn your love my way…turn your love my way yeah yeah

I can’t believe such a wretched, morbidly obese, drug addicted, deviant, illiterate, sexual predator found the secret sauce to turn half our country into absolute lunatics. Turning a blind eye daily to the most rampant corruption in American history as they genuflect before him.

True leadership does not fear criticism, but instead ensures even those that don’t agree have the freedom to speak their mind.

🚨WHOA!!! What a powerful moment. "I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, but tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel."

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

We must stand up for working Americans who are hurting in Trump’s failed economy.

I have no words for this.

Now that we realize the shooter was one of their own, trained in hate, radicalism, and the gun culture. It’s time to release the Epstein files!

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Right now MAGA Republicans are not mourning Charlie Kirk, they are not condemning gun violence, they are not admitting they created the monster that was Charlie or the access to the gun that killed him. What they are doing is strategizing how to benefit from his death.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

The debate in our society right now should not be whether Trump is guilty of being one of Epstein's biggest clients. He was. The issue is whether we as individuals accept pedophilia as a trait in our leaders, in our communities. I for one do not.

Vaccines are one of the greatest public health achievements in modern medicine. Protecting access is vital to the health and safety of Minnesotans. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Umm … it’s pretty stupid.

Watching these RFK updates, seeing all the sick and evil things this administration is doing. All of this has me longing for the stability, intelligence, morality, dignity, and the intent to actually help others that Biden and Obama administrations represented

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.

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

Ashli Babbitt was an insurrectionist and a traitor. I don't know her, so can't say how she came to be one, but I do know that Trump, FOX News, and all the right wing media lied to her and pushed her over the edge. They are responsible for the crimes all the insurrectionists committed.

Vengeful, callous, evil, corrupt, a monster. We cannot allow this to continue

There are more guns than people in the US. Another deadly school shooting and all some politicians offer is thoughts and prayers. Stop voting for these pro gun politicians who think gun rights are more important than young lives.
