The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters. Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

Pam Bondi had a choice today. She could hold pedophiles accountable or she could protect pedophiles. She chose to protect pedophiles. She chose to protect people who raped children.

Children ending up in the ICU. Children trying to end their lives. Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick. Children held for 8 months or longer. These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley. They’re pleading to be let out.

Having hip surgery in February was not the best planning. But then we don’t usually have winters this cold and 10.5 inches of snow?! Sir, this is the South!

This needs to happen at the very least

This is so fucking powerful. Yes, yes, YES!

To any former northerners now living in the south; an ice storm of this magnitude is Nothing like the snow storms you had up there. There is no way to plow ice and the power lines & tree limbs will come down with just 1/4” & they’re calling for more. Take this stuff seriously!

We should all sit with this ICE murder. Any one of us could be executed by ICE, and our government wouldn’t bat an eye. Instead they’d just lie about us to the world.

So basically the US is a rogue state now. Yeah that's just how we needed to start the year.

Those roving patrols and racial targeting that Kavanaugh allowed? This is what they led to. www.propublica.org/article/immi... (from Oct)

The world is awful in so many ways right now but the fact that my 11 year old grandson wants to text with me about his life every night brings me so much joy in this dark time.

Every time I think this sick piece of trash can sink no lower, he always proves me wrong.

All Trump and his cronies know how to do is steal then lie about it.

Fuck every single one of these damn people. They all need to be given the same treatment they have given this woman and the many others like her.

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

So Senator Cassidy are you okay with being lied to? I mean I know he is because he’s a Republican but damn!

There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it New cover story from @pemalevy.bsky.social & me www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Reports say Trump’s been personally calling members like Boebert and Nancy Mace to get them to back off the Epstein files petition. That’s not the move of a man with nothing to hide.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom. Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Fascinating to know that Georgia and… checks notes…MISSISSIPPI are “blue states”.

1. On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special Congressional election in Arizona, collecting 69% of the vote. 43 days later, Speaker Johnson has not sworn her in. The delay, 8 days longer than the previous record, has prevented Grijalva from forcing a vote to release the Epstein files.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

QOTD: "…if you genuinely believed that preteen girls are old enough to be mothers while males in their thirties are too young to comprehend fascism, then you logically wouldn't trust men to be responsible for anything more consequential than a balloon animal, let alone a government." -Dean Burnett

Waiting outside the understaffed DMV despite getting up at the crack of dawn to get here before 7:30. They check folks in until the seating is full and then send the rest to wait outside. This is why they make us have an ID to vote. They’re hoping that we’ll be so frustrated we’ll just give up.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

I keep thinking about how I was born before Tylenol was available for pregnant women and yet somehow I know many autistic people my age and older. Just saying…

"It’s not only acceptable but, I’d argue, morally obligatory to say what you need to say to get a COVID vaccine. We have duties of care to each other, and particular duties of solidarity to those the regime wants dead, which supersede situational duties of truthfulness."

"I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again." -Georgia O’Keefe My feeling this year more than ever.

Epstein survivor on Epstein: "His biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump."

This is fun and fascinating!

He cheats everyone!

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Banning books instead of guns is exactly what radicalized me.

1/5 🧵 Once again, this admin makes us all sick to our stomachs - This time... literally. 😷💩 CDC had to drastically cut back FoodNet surveillance because of funding cuts. Deadly outbreaks from Listeria, Campylobacter & others are now harder to spot, putting millions at risk.

Rick Bright is exactly right about the devastating harm that we’ll all experience thanks to Trump and RFK’s decision to throttle mRNA vaccines. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/o...

My current scrappy knit for #showmeyourknits is The Shift. Just adding in whatever bits and bobs I have as I feel like it and loving it so far.

Louder for the people who didn't hear first time: if trans women have some kind of inherent advantage over cis women in sports, how is it they almost never use it?

Holy Effing Hell... Flu season is going to be a nightmare.

It’s been too long since I posted any of my dolls and since I can’t work in the studio for a while here’s a little dandelion pixie I made before my surgery.

This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back. If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism. apnews.com/article/ap-p...

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

As Trump tries to downplay his role in helping Israel starve Gazan children, remember that his Admin burned 500 tons of food provided by American farmers to feed starving children. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Same. Absolutely. Name every damn one of them no matter who.
