Getting called 'too left' by a Trump fanatic is like a pedophile calling you 'adult-fucker'.

TRUMP IS HOLDING THE GOVERNMENT HOSTAGE. Now there's a message that could get traction.

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

This is an example of what Senators *can* do. (Note: "Senate Dems" in this case is just one Senator. Thank you @peters.senate.gov.)

I'm a reporter not a political strategist, but one answer to the question of "What can the opposition do?" is "Use the extraordinary investigative powers members of Congress have even when in the minority to get new information courts and journalists can't get."

There can be no moving forward without accountability.

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract. This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers! NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

NEWS Jimmy Kimmel’s return episode was watched by 6.3 million viewers on broadcast TV. These numbers are triple his normal viewership, and it’s important to note 23% of households didn’t have access to show due to preemption by Sinclair/Nexstar. Monologue was viewed over 25 million times online.

Everyone deserves healthcare.

This is very good and reminds me of a point I always make when people say you can’t shame people out of being bigots. You can’t, but you can make them behave better by not creating a culture of permissiveness when they do

I wonder why NPR is advertising that the Greeks and Romans executed comedians who criticized power.

This is one of the most effective political speeches I've heard in quite a while. It's crystal clear. Pulls no punches. It's not stuffed with jargon. Centers with values. He delivers it with a whole range of emotion. I hope many Dems will watch and learn what political courage is worth.

This Rapture is so disappointing. They're all still here. I know, lets act like we can't see or hear them anymore.

The best part of this tweet from January is she limited who could reply to it

It feels like this has a chance to break through to some people.

If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......

Among the many, many risks of Trump’s anti-Tylenol tirade? According to experts who spoke to @wired.com, an increase in autism rates:

Well, this explains why nobody got raptured.

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Protest, resist, yell, mock, organize. Dissent and dissent LOUDLY. We live under a fascist regime, not a successfully totalitarian regime. These people are not bright and they are not competent. They will lose.

I'd like to see a tea party style takeover of the Democratic Party based around specific values: Every person should have a place to live, food to eat, medical care, and education. Call it The Opportunity Party.

Peewee German is just recycling N*zi garbage.

This is a brilliant comparison.

it was literally in a bag www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

I feel like we need one for NYT, too.

Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued. Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially. Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.

BREAKING: Canada, the U.K. and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state.

I hadn't seen this photo from the ICE protests in Broadview. This is Rev. David Black from Chicago. He's been regularly protesting at the Broadview ICE facility.

Schumer has been on the wrong side of nearly every issue for a quarter century. Voted for the Patriot Act, the Iraq AUMF, the Homeland Security Act, the REAL ID Act, the Secure Fence Act. He's not just a collaborator, he's an active proponent of many of the worst ideas of the last twenty five years

There’s a simple answer. “Democrats won’t vote to fund this regime as is. It’s up to the republicans if they want to shut down the government. They’re in the majority.”

🤔

The core of it is domination. Fascists demand that we submit. And even if we did, it will never be enough for them.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Again, just to be clear here, Siebert's replacement will take office with a clear, virtually explicit, mandate to prosecute people who have committed no crime

My favorite sign of the night.

If you need help clarifying your values, work with an existential psychotherapist, not a political consultant.

This kind of repudiation of the Supreme Court by a state Supreme Court justice is very rare. But — speaking as a former Alaska Supreme Court clerk — this is also part of their structural purpose. There’s a reason our rights can be, and often are, given *better* protection under state constitutions.

ICE is violating article the U.N.'s "Mandela" rules for the minimum treatment of prisoners: "Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs...detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior."

This is why l knocked on doors for her, 4 days a week, when she ran against the bland pol who had been appointed to the vacancy by the worst pols on the NW side. (Iris Martinez, Scott Waguespack, Gardiner, Villegas.) A better world is possible.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.

@abbierichards.bsky.social explains why hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug, better than anything else I've seen yet. But my favorite line: "Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology."

I saw that an acquaintance on FedBook has personally gotten over 55 people to cancel their Disney subscriptions. This is a homebound person and she found her lane and is absolutely kicking ass at the moment. People are doing things.

not all heroes wear capes

Sure, let’s make “if you lie to the public, you’re off the air” the standard. Guess who would go dark immediately?
