Extraterrestrials demand that the DOJ release the Epstein files unredacted.

Blunt and true. 😞

It took practically no time at all for Trump to double down on his idiotic tariff first agenda: meaning higher prices for everyone. All so he can make "deals" that help out his billionaire buddies & hurt small businesses. Enough. Republicans in Congress can join us to stop this.

If our current corrupt Supreme Court Justices had been around in 1776 writing America's constitution, they would have established a hereditary monarchy and today we'd think it normal to be ruled by a king with absolute immunity who'd routinely deploy armed troops in our streets to oppress us.

It’s pretty clear by now that most of the US executive branch *is* the Epstein List.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Dot com crash, recession, Trump, COVID, Trump. That's a lot to happen in 25 years.

March 27, 1936: Portraits of the Führer are raised on official buildings across Berlin. This one at the Potsdamer Railway Station reads "Freedom - Peace"

The criminal activities outlined in the Epstein files may “reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE. A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Letter vs spirit. This is democracy reduced to mere technical compliance, utterly stripped of its spirit. "An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community. Police arrested him when he went a few seconds over his (3-minute) time limit." www.404media.co/man-opposing...

“Winter Witness”, 30x30 acrylic on canvas. A tribute to the watchers of Minnesota and all the other cities where we are trying to keep the beasts accountable. Not sure if it’s done but getting there.

WTF?!!!

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

"It is difficult to comprehend the level of state-sponsored criminality we are witnessing because our country has never experienced anything like it."- #NYDailyNews (wait'll ya experience the midterms...) #AccountabilityIsComing ⚖️

I've been seeing a lot of people disparaging democracy as a failure. It has not failed us. We however as a nation have been failing it. For it to succeed, it needs an engaged and informed populace. Which is why those who want power but not responsibility, attack Free speech and public education

“Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.” ~Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, University of Virginia commencement speech, 1978. Image: Library of Congress.

The press?? Your oath compels YOU @tedlieu.bsky.social. How are we letting this man remain in power one more day? How can any member of Congress sleep at night without filing and forcing votes of articles of impeachment to remove him from office NOW?

Yey!!!

So cool!

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

America will not elect a woman president in my lifetime. They had 2 excellent nominees on the Democratic ticket. Republicans had a woman alternative to Trump: Nikki Haley. Americans would rather pick a corrupt, fascist, sex pest authoritarian than elect a woman. This country is THAT sexist.

When FB gets DHS request for info about you: “If we do not receive a copy of documentation that you have filed in court challenging this legal process within ten (10) days, we will respond to the requesting agency with information.” Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Nice! I miss the academic Twitter of yore, and #followfridays. I hope other fields of study will find their way here as well.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.    If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.   And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

You didn’t think all those concentration camps they want to build are only for immigrants, did you? (Gift article)

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

Crass but 💯 true!!

A group of New York elected officials gathered on Thursday to replace the Pride flag that was removed from the Stonewall National Monument after a directive from the Trump administration.

We have SIX DAYS to get this out of the Washington State Senate. NEXT TUESDAY is the legislative deadline to get bills out their house of origin. If it doesn't pass by then, it likely dies till 2027. Since farmworkers were written out of labor laws in 1937, we have to win at the state level.

@deadder.bsky.social has so many great cartoons:

Yes 100% to this!

Couldn’t find the cat

I’m on the Senate floor right now with @booker.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov to talk about the crisis of our disappearing democracy. Never before has a President tried to indict Members of Congress for their political opposition to the President.

Good advice for staying safe online! #cybersecurity

😮

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

This isn't a complete list but it's a good start!
