Now: Thousands of people in Charlotte have gathered to let Border Patrol & ICE know they’re not welcome here. We will not bow down in the face of Trump’s terror tactics. When our communities are under attack we stand up and fight back!

Can confirm. I am okay and more motivated than ever to speak up.

Nothing scares this administration more. Their power lies in our silence.

the scramble for GOP hopefuls to distance themselves from Trump as the ship goes down is going to be crazy and the most important thing to do is sink all the lifeboats

none of them are allowed to escape his legacy

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:

✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.

Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Headline from CNN that reads Trump administration drops plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights

Of course they did.

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

We remain steadfast in our demands for freedom: We demand the immediate release of those detained. We demand an end to regional ICE activity. We demand human dignity for all people, without exception. We demand the right to offer spiritual care to those detained — because even in confinement, every person deserves compassion, prayer, and presence. God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom.

From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning:

"God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."

🚨OUR NEW AD JUST DROPPED 🚨

Washington is giving billionaires the easy ride—while hard-working Tennessean get a rough ride due to bad policies.

I’m running for Congress to change that. Vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social beginning on Nov. 12 to shake up Washington. Election Dec. 2nd

Look around.

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia

Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

Agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene is when your brain hits “shuffle” on reality, but here we are.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.

He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Most of the hearing was routine. At one point, however, Straw's attorney, Christopher Parente, lodged a largely symbolic objection over his client having to turn in his passport, calling him a "boring suburban dad" and saying his whole reason for going to the protest in the first place included objecting to the government checking people's passports and papers. Parente said it wasn't fair for Straw "to sit here now and ask him to turn his passport over to the government for no reason other than they think they can," adding that "landscapers arrested by ICE cannot stand up to the government." "Mr. Straw can, and your Honor can, too," Parente said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg said the passport was about bond conditions, not about what ICE is doing on the streets, and that defendants have turned in their passports "in every case I've had for 19 years." After McShain decided Straw did not have to turn in his passport, Mecklenburg said she'd drop the requirement for all defendants to ensure Straw was not receiving special treatment.

I’m going to think about watching this moment unfold in real time for a long time.

for all the horrors coming out of Chicago and its metro area, the principled courage of everyday people, in the face of such intimidation, never ceases to astonish. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/12/k...

people gotta lose their positions of power and influence

people gotta be shunned from their prestigious social circles

above all, people gotta go to jail

every woman acutely understands this face.

Reading about the rapid collapse of Eastern European governments in 1989 as completely rotten and corrupt leaderships disintegrated when people realised fear was all that was holding them up. Apropos of nothing.

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva has finally been sworn in after a 7-week delay.

The Epstein files are clearly more damning than we assumed, which is saying something.

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

We started Indivisible in 2016 because a future Trump appointee was talking about the WWII Japanese internment camps as a model for immigrants at the same time that Schumer was talking about finding common ground with Trump.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

The Precedent is Dead: We have to recognize the realities of our situation. Bottom Line Up Front: You can't bring a strongly worded letter to a knife fight.

The president is a massive pedo who was best friends with a massive pedo who ran a big pedo ring, we are at late-stage Michael Jackson levels of "everybody knows"
