We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Phang: How are these Epstein victims supposed to feel about closure when you see Blanche meeting with Maxwell and then giving her a minimum-security camp move?

And now, conversations allegedly that Trump is going to have with the DOJ about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. It is an abomination

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

But I thought if you smeared someone and they were then the victim of violence, that meant you had to be fired from your job.

Or does Fox News only think that applies to teachers?

Same.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Trump is claiming no inflation.

He knows that, unlike him, we actually do our own shopping and know that’s bullshit, right?

Trump's invasion This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.

New in PN: Trump's invasion

"The Trump administration’s war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, that’s where we’re at."

Harrigan defends Trump's deployment of troops to cities: "I don't think it's wrong for members of the administration to characterize places like Chicago & Portland as war zones when they're putting up stats up about 50 murders a weekend." (There have been 58 murders in Portland all year as of Oct 1)

Call it what it is

So why aren’t any MSM outlets going there and covering this? It’s nuts that he keeps blathering about something that isn’t happening.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

This country is being run by a sociopath while a senile president golfs and spews hate through a handheld device whenever the whim hits him. The sociopath zip ties children while his alcoholic and rageful bestie blows up boats like it’s a game of Battleship. 1/2

Project 2025: Taking on the Constitution Another Saturday night in America.

Trump’s efforts to militarize ICE & send federalized Nat'l Guard troops onto American streets, firing government employees during the shutdown, it's all part of Project 2025, which he disavowed all knowledge of during the campaign because it was so unpopular.

Starting yesterday, notifications of higher premiums are being sent to 90,000 Minnesotans.

I heard from a small business owner in Eagan whose premium will increase by *at least* $450 a month. That’s $5,400 a year.

That’s why we’re fighting to extend the health care tax credit.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

How Peaceful Protest by Just 3.5 Percent of Americans Could Force Major Policy Changes From the Trump Administration History shows that when just 3.5 percent of a population—about 12 million Americans—engage in peaceful protest, their demands become nearly impossible to ignore. This is particularly relevant today, a...

It’s our time to defend Democracy, and the next nationwide “No Kings” protest is October 18, 2025. Find a protest near you and bring 1-3 people with you so we can reach the critical 3.5% need to stop our country’s slide into authoritarianism:

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

I think if you burn an American flag, you’re probably an asshole.

That being said, I’ll defend your right to do so with everything I have.

Symbolic speech is protected by the First Amendment, and no imaginary executive order from Trump changes that.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Buttigieg: You’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would rather see the entire government shut down than allow Americans to afford their healthcare.

Meiselas: Another critical reason MAGA Mike is telling Republicans that the House is officially closed is because he’s trying to avoid swearing in Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.. She would be the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition.
