If I was writing a popular history this would be my pivot moment I think.

What the fuck is this

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Tell us how you really feel, Donald, please tell us.

We are going to fucking win

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act

You can’t use taxpayer resources for partisan attacks. Period.

Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done?

Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

This is the way.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

New from 404 Media: police used a nationwide network of Flock cameras to search for a woman who self-administered an abortion, said it was for her 'safety'. But new docs show they considered charging her with a crime as part of a 'death investigation' into the fetus

It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

2 million rally in Italy for Gaza as general strike halts key services Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

a general strike may be one of the only ways that this works in this country to slow down the fascist consolidation going on. I know a lot of people think that they’re impossible to pull off in a country as geographically large as America but with planning, it could be and should be considered.

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

Dude what is wrong with you. It is completely and explicitly illegal. The letter of the law can't be more clear.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

JRR Tolkien has a message for us: Don't give in to despair; don't give in to Trump.

I am a well educated, pretty media literate person whose job it is to be professionally annoying. I cannot figure out if my cancer medication, which costs $17k a month (I do not pay anything thanks to a combo of insurance/access programs), is going to be tariffed 100%.

My theory is, they thought they could ride the Kirk stuff all the way home, they started all this final game fascist stuff rolling, and.

They're too excited to stop it, even realizing the political capital went poof with Kimmel.

Their blood got pumping and by God they're gonna try it

The image is a screenshot of an X post from the account @Re... (Really American) dated 11 hours ago, claiming that Speaker Johnson has refused to swear in newly-elected Democratic Rep. Grijalva, who is described as the decisive 218th vote needed for a discharge petition to release the Epstein files. The post questions the reason for the delay. The image also includes a video still labeled "EXCLUSIVE" from Meidastouch Network, featuring Rep.-elect Grijalva, with text stating she is ready to sign the discharge petition. The background shows campaign materials with her name and slogans like "Se hizo historia!"

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

Some people are hoping the United Nations will avert global catastrophe, rein in Israel and help Americans reassert democracy.

That's not its one job. Everything else it does either serves that job, or is (to the U.N.) fairly ancillary and irrelevant.

The job of the U.N. is to prevent nuclear war.
