It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Speaker Mike Johnson was an official in the Southern Baptist Convention, a member of its Ethics and Religious Liberty Comission, from 2004-2012, a period of such hideous coverup of sexual abuse and misconduct by church leaders that the SBC finally had to get an outside report. X

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials, obtained exclusively by MSNBC. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Heseltine at the Tory conf: "Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.

This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Go to the This Will Hold substack channel for the article and details on findings in MN.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

We don't give enough credit to journalists who risk life and limb to bring us the truth

#ResistanceRoots Vivion Brewer was born on this day in 1900 in Little Rock, Ark. Brewer and several other white women formed the Women’s Emergency Committee to Open Our Schools after Gov. Orval Faubus closed Little Rock public schools on Aug. 26, 1958, in his fight against desegregation. /1

Good morning. In case you missed it yesterday, Albertans are pissed. And some 40k of us showed up across the province, on the eve of an historic teacher’s strike, to let this government know just how pissed we are. Bravo, Alberta. Give ‘em hell. #ableg #cdnpoli #yeg #yyc

How about that crowd at the Progressives in the Park in Grand Rapids last weekend?

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You don't wanna be the last Dem governor to board this train

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

This mayor is amazing and everybody should have elected officials ready to stick up for them even when it’s not convenient.
