Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Solidarity is the only way

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

It's spooky season for zoo animals too! Keepers at the Milwaukee Zoo fed pumpkins to Kunekune pigs, an Amur tiger and cheetahs.

Chicago Alderperson Jess Fuentes was at Humboldt Park Health when they were arrested. Fuentes went to the facility after there was a report of ICE agents being there. The hospital has no plans to release the person ICE agents were originally trying to detain, who had broken his leg. #ProudBlue

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

💙📚 (A fave past vid/book!) Dumplings for Lili by Melissa Iwai is a must have picture book celebrating grandmas' cookin' #childrensbook #kindergarten #schoollibrary #food #fatayer #tamales #pierogies #baos #raviolis

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

🚨 I found one version of a story about Dr. Roberts and the reasoning for the detainment of a highly trained professional who happens to have dark skin: www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/e...

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

🚨If you think this cannot happen to you - then you are mistaken. Eventually, your demographic will NOT save you. If you do not care about the people it is happening to now, then you are no better than ICE. You are not more important than anyone disappeared today. 👏🏻Wake👏🏻Up👏🏻People! 1/2

If you’re just tuning into this race, let me get you up to speed.

There goes the First Amendment.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

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.

September is National Recovery Month — a time when we commit to breaking the stigma and providing the resources to end the disease of addiction. It’s also a time for hope — Hope for those struggling, for those in recovery, and for their families. 💜

Moskowitz: "We just heard there were no riots on the right. We're literally sitting in a building where there was a giant riot by supporters of POTUS. We also heard only leftists have said Trump is a Nazi. In 2016, the current VP said 'Trump is either a cynical asshole or he's America's Hitler'"

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.   Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.   Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

Trump wants to lock up reporters for exercising their First Amendment right? Hell. No.

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

Donald Trump wants to normalize violence and he wants to wash his hands of his own responsibility. Democrats are going to make sure it’s always TRUTH over Trump. Watch my full interview with @chuck_rocha at substack.com/chuckrocha

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

Truth bomb‼️ This man should be the one speaking on college campuses… “They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.” Watch

WATCH: “It proves my point that this will never change.” @RepTimBurchett accuses CNN of refusing to introspect on the role they play in dividing the nation — even as he himself refuses to do exactly that.

The modern-day Republican Party doesn’t get to lecture anybody on rhetoric or political violence. We all have a responsibility to do better, but these are the last people who get to lecture us about this shit.

🚨”If you are not willing to risk anything as a member of Congress, if you are not willing to risk your seat, then you are not brave. Courage takes actually risking something, and it took real courage for those people to stand up last week and say to the POTUS, ‘Come down here. We are not a hoax.”1/2

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

Okay, the Black church is Black churching on this Sunday. I see you. ✊🏽

Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?

She nails it. 🔥 I’ll just add one thing: Emmett Till’s mother’s choice was for a reason.

Yep, no Black person was safe, free or not, North or South. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 nationalized slave catching by reducing local protections. Every Black person had to carry proof of freedom, b/c simply skin color made them automatically suspicious, and papers didn't always protect them.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong

Our joyful defiance undermines them because it exposes just how weak they are. They could be doing literally anything else with our tax dollars…

🚨Children🚨Killed by🚨ICE Say their names. Their lives mattered and their deaths were govt. sanctioned murders. 1/2

🚨🚨🚨 This. More of this.

Graham Platner: "If we are going to build a political system that represents working people, we need to send up working people... When working people organize and fight together, they can build power, and they can use that to get the things that they deserve."

Graham Platner: "Susan Collins has been in the Senate for almost 30 years... People know that she's a self-interested politician who has tried to play this charade for many years about how she tries to be a moderate... Everybody sees this for what it is."

✨ This is what real resistance looks like. It’s not chaos, it’s not hate—it’s rooted in love, in protection, and in the safety of each other. 💜 When we show up like this, we’re building the future our kids deserve. ➡️ Follow me on Sassy Politics for more truth, resistance, and power.

They’re repressing us. One platform at a time, one outlet at a time, until every media space is picked off. That’s why I built Activist Chain. Think of it as the modern-day underground railroad for democracy. Go to ActivistChain.com history is watching. Let’s ride.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

God I love Mexico!!! When Trump ordered the border wall painted black to absorb the sun's heat and make climbing harder, Mexico responded by painting beautiful murals on their side

Humanity A system that rips fathers from their families in immigration court is not justice; it’s cruelty. People can only take so much before heartbreak turns into resistance.

Life in an militarily occupied nation. The new normal. The constitution is in tatters the corrupt Supreme Court isn't upholding it. The military are not defending it. The majority in congress are not protecting it. We will have to restore it and prosecute all of them

Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
