Y’all didn’t realize they were using β€œDemocracy dies in darkness” as a mission statement, not a salutary motto

"The Jews will not replace us" and "we need to secure our borders" is the same message and more people need to realize this in a hurry.

Filming the police is not obstruction.

Filming the police is not resisting.

Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting.

Holding onto your phone is not resisting.

Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.

If the Trump regime escalates and kills more people, are there plans for an organized response? Like, is anyone putting the pieces together and lining up logistics for a national general strike?

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): β€œIf this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

We are in a serious govt shutdown, but instead of negotiating, Trump posted several pics of his WH bathroom remodel today and now this. He is currently headed to Palm Beach for another golf weekend.

But we can't fully staff our national parks right now.

These people are ghouls without souls. They cannot be reformed.

This is not a fight about tax credits.
This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign β€œpermission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Remember in 2024 when South Korea’s president declared martial law in order to cling to power and 1 million people protested?

Then both parties immediately impeached AND removed him from office, leading to him being arrested earlier this year for inciting an insurrection?

Okay good. Me, too…

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

We’re heading into an era of climate uncertainties with more extreme extremes. We have unemployed meteorologists all over this nation. They should be employed in state Govs, county Govs, city Govs, corporations, sports/venues, and so on.

We need mass Meteorology hiring!

Seattle! For weeks now, trained rescue response folks have been going into the Jackson Federal Building to witness, monitor, and video ICE kidnappings. Those folks ARE NOT BEING ALLOWED IN today...

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

@kuow.org @npr.org @maddow.msnbc.com @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social @thestranger.com @nytimes.com PICK THIS UP! The feds want spectacle to justify their actions. The protesters are PEACEFUL. The SWAT guys and cops and feds are the ones disappearing people, throwing gas, and carrying weapons.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

The thing about cancer is, Trump is making it easy for polluters to dump cancer-causing chemicals into our air and water, while defunding and firing people who work on cancer cures, while also ending millions of people’s ability to afford cancer treatment.

They are charging a sitting congresswoman with a crime for performing her lawfully required oversight of ICE.

This is an incredibly undemocratic step that should make people painfully aware of where we are at.
