I love Rachel Maddow but we really don't need more podcasts & documentaries rn. We need her on 5x a week, engaged in actual journalism. She gets $25m a year for a weekly show...and podcasts. I get her point about using docs to inspire but...IDK. Thoughts?

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Humor will get us through this and nobody's finer than us Libs.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Humor is very powerful! 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🤣🤣🤣🤣 #Portland

Okay who did this

The home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein was set on fire and burned to the ground after she received death threats, following criticism by the Trump administration.

Why isn't this story all over mainstream media??? Goodstein is one of many judges who have been attacked, doxxed etc.

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

I honestly think the word "authoritarianism" is too big for most Americans. Simplify it. Dumb it down. We get it because we're political junkies. Most Americans don't.

Mike “Mississippi Minnow” Johnson has a great career after his term as Speaker ends in Jan, 2027. He can leave Congress and become a televangelist. Perfect career for Temu Moses aka Lil Johnson aka Missy J. Such a brazen liar and an irredeemable crook…peddling false piety with his cheap rouge.

The great @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is absolutely destroying the Hack @jaketapper.bsky.social rn for "interviewing" Trump by text. Tapper is the worst. I don't understand why he's considered a journalist. Keep going, Lawrence. Keep calling out the failing Beltway media.

I remember when congressional Dems had a spine and created the Paul Ryan "throwing granny off the cliff" ad to fight Social Security cuts. It was brilliant! Worked like a charm. What do we have from Dems rn? Anything?? youtu.be/OGnE83A1Z4U?...

Problem with Democrat politicians is they always answer questions in full sentences instead of repeating simple messages. That's why they're never coordinated. No unifying message. No coordination. What does Trump do? He repeats the same, simple lines over and over and over again.

The Hegseth speech reminds of Sixta in Generation Kill. "Groomiiiing standards! Your mustache hairs is in violations, growing beyond the corner of yer mouth. Police that mustache!" 😂🤣🤣 Oh God. Sizta youtube.com/shorts/sljiP...

Stop stressing about Trump. The real concern is J. Roberts. So far, 21 of 24 decisions for Trump from the shadow docket. Ripping up the Constitution, esp separation of powers. Unitary Executive enshrined. Would he do the same for Biden? Or Obama? No fucking way. Will they scrap the 22nd? Yes.

John Roberts seems to believe that the Constitution does not matter. No separation of powers. Unitary Executive theory. The Roberts MAGA Court has decided in favor of Trump in approx 19 straight (shadow docket) cases. More than Bush, Obama and Biden combined...in 8mths. We better wake up.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Bravo Jimmy! You’re really here for this💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Can Dems come up with one fucking slogan to connect with Americans, esp given the cost of living crisis? Anything at all as we head into the Midterms?🤬 "MAGA" works b/c it's simple. Project 2025? A blueprint. What do we have? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social @democrats.org

Hope you're also watching Rachel interviewing Kamala? Damn good intreview. Thoughts on some of the Dem leaders who weren't so kind? Not surprised about jealous Whitmer or Pelosi, who tried to sabotage Kamala from the beginning. Too many Dem leaders are assholes. At least Repubs stick together.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

The Conservative movement planned this takeover for over 50 years. Think about the long-term planning they enacted to take over legislatures, the judiciary, media etc. My question is: What are we doing? Where is the l/t planning? Not 2 years out or 4yrs out. How about 40yrs out? Project 2050?

When big government locks arms with big business to stifle dissent, it’s up to us to speak out. Spend the weekend raising hell and raising awareness about the Trump regime’s assault on free speech, and take action to push back. The tools you need are here👇 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

Seriously, has Rogan commented at all on the Kimmel situation?? What's this "free speech" take?

Comedians from Joe Rogan down who helped Trump win all bear responsibility for Trump's war on free speech that has led to firing Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and others. Without them, Trump loses. It's time for those comedians led by Rogan to loudly denounce Trump. If not we know they support this!

It had occurred to me that Stephen Colbert might become the new counter-Rogan (I don’t call it the “Joe Rogan of the Left,” because a key to this is that the person appeal to more than the Left). But I now think there’s a different role for Colbert. I predict the counter-Rogan will be Jimmy Kimmel.

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

NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Today is Constitution Day—the anniversary of the signing that gave us the blueprint for democracy. The Constitution isn’t just history. It’s the rulebook for how our government must serve the people. 🧵

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Tyler Robinson is one of yours, MAGA. Curious what you do about the increasing violent radicalization of young MAGA men who are influenced by Nick Fuentes and Groypers and white nationalist conspiracy theories.

It's a somber day for many reasons. But we must not forget the heroes of 9/11 and also those who refused to support them years later. open.substack.com/pub/distills...

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Vance is not the heir apparent of the MAGA legacy. He doesn't have the flair or popularity of Trump amongst the MAGA base. The real heir is John Roberts. He is the actual sword & shield of the MAGA ideology and legacy. Think about it. Think about the monumental decisions he's made. For decades.

Why doesn't @bsky.app have a save draft function???????

Do you think the next Dem President (if we have elections) will expand the Supreme Court? Why can't we just have a national referendum? I know we have state-run elections but why the hell not?

This Bills-Ravens game. OMG #NFL

Nothing says “Nobel Peace prize” quite like the changing the name of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.”

Gavin Newsom reenacted Trump's cabinet meeting at it's hilarious, including a simplified MAGA level "presidential" English. 🤣
