A black-and-white photo of Trump & Epstein in suits standing close together at what appears to be a party, with Trump holding two children in front of him while the Epstein holds a drink.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

When you put it that way it almost sounds refined to dodge anti money laundering rules so you can bribe politicians / traffic children / fund terrorism or whatever else those anonymized and encrypted $500 million might do.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.

If Durbin weren't retiring, he would be primaried, and he would lose.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

VIDEO: Day care teacher detained by ICE agents on Chicago’s North Side A day care teacher was taken into ICE custody Wednesday morning at the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood.

HORRIFYING! Little by little, all of us will know somebody who has been taken. Eventually, it could be us. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

I sure am enjoying No Kings 3 tonight.

(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Hot damn

These people want any excuse available to abuse women.

Sweeping Ban on Drone Flights Across Chicago Looks Suspiciously Like an Attempt to Ban Press Coverage | ACLU We can’t let government block drone photography of newsworthy events simply by claiming a need to fly their own aircraft in an area or claiming the existence of vague “security threats”

The Trump administration's unusual 10-day ban on drone flights across Chicago could have serious consequences for our ability to monitor law enforcement activity.

We can't let the government weaken our First Amendment rights by claiming vague “security threats.”

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Fascinating article.

Brown quote graphic reading "We fish families out of flood waters. We shovel ambulances through the snow to get to women delivering babies... patrolling the monuments, creating this sort of military net that’s descended on these urban areas — that’s not something a lot of people signed up for.” Quote is attributed to Brigadier General Paul G. Smith, former assistant adjutant general of Massachusetts National Guard. Protest photo at the top with people holding signs spelling out "No troops on our streets"

National Guard troops serve an important role in helping our communities during real crises — but advancing the president's political agenda isn't one of them.

Military troops patrolling on our streets must not be normalized.

Wow, J.K. Rowling just continues to reveal more of her terrible personality.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Let me tell you what we don’t need-churches using tithes to endorse political candidates. After years of giving literal thousands of dollars to a church and not seeing how the church used that money to truly care for those in need, I can only see this as continued money hoarding and mismanagement.

Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t reinstated because Disney executives had a change of heart. He’s back on air because those executives got a wakeup call from the American public. People all over the country showed up, canceling subscriptions, and protesting outside ABC and Disney, Nexstar, and more. 🧵

Shana Tova to everyone celebrating in Illinois and across the world.

As we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, I want to wish you all a new year full of joy, good health, and prosperity.

If you’re not boycotting Disney/ABC and their collaborators yet, here’s all the info you need:

Dear Executives,

Please know the American people are going to turn your business upside down as soon as you bend the knee to this fascist regime.

See what happened to Target? 40% loss in value and CEO fired.

We’re doing that to Disney/ABC now, and you’ll be next 🙂.

Sincerely,
Your Customers

Protecting Free Speech in the Face of Government Retaliation Since Charlie Kirk’s killing, the government has threatened to punish anyone who speaks ill of the conservative free speech activist. This violates the First Amendment.

The Trump administration is villainizing and punishing those who dare to express anything but unequivocal support for its political views.

Such censorship is profoundly harmful to a free society — but it can be stopped if we resist it together.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Just read John Green’s “Everything is Tuberculosis,” and seeing headlines like this reminds me that this curable disease still kills millions because wealthy countries don’t see TB as an issue since it mostly affects poorer nations. Check out tbfighters.org for ways to take action.
