His warning takes on even greater urgency today.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while our lawsuit makes its way through the courts.

This decision undermines the freedom of transgender, non-binary, and intersex people to have our IDs reflect who we are.

A message of strength from kris.and.dave (IG). Don’t be discouraged. Stay strong. Take care of yourself. Keep using your voice in whatever way you can.

Trump and Republicans are determined to make us communist with food lines and a dictator in a palace.

NEW: Nearly 104,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in 2024 because they arrived too late. A new USPS policy initiated under Trump’s first Postmaster General could lead to millions more being rejected in 2026 — and it’s Trump’s rural voters who’ll be impacted most.

Can we continue to follow up on this $130 million donation Trump says his anonymous friend donated to pay troops until we see actual proof of the money coming in and where it went?

1. Graham Platner is an oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran who’s running for the United States Senate in Maine. He’s trying to knock off Susan Collins. He’s presented himself as a common-man candidate who stands against oligarchy, genocide and the oppression of the little guy.

These guys get $50k signing bonuses.

Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos.

They get almost no training, many couldn’t pass an open book exam & they’re allowed to hide their faces.

They’re swinging assault rifles around in public.

Abolish ICE

Hello East Orange! I'm gonna fight for you with everything I've got to make New Jersey a state where families can build opportunity and thrive for generations.

Will I face premium increases if I enroll in an employer-provided plan? Yes. With higher costs, fewer people will enroll in the Marketplace. Consumers may choose to transition to Medicaid or go uninsured. The exodus of healthier individuals from the Marketplace could further exacerbate premium increases. Younger, healthier individuals are more likely to drop coverage due to affordability concerns. This would lead to an increase in the morbidity factors used by insurers, as well as a premium load for anti-selection, further driving up rates.

No biggie, just the Oklahoma Insurance Dept letting people know that their EMPLOYER-based insurance will ALSO increase as a result of the ACA subsidies expiring.

(OK voted for Trump by 34 points and for Republicans in all 5 House districts by anywhere from 20 - 100%.)

it's hard to Nazi what's going on here

At least 2 historic magnolia trees, Kennedy Garden appear to have been removed to make way for Trump's White House ballroom Satellite images show that President Donald Trump's project to build a $300 million grand ballroom has appeared to take down at least six trees on the White House grounds

So what would stop Trump from waking up in the middle of the night, saying "fuck it," and ordering that the rest of the White House be torn down and replaced with a tall golden tower in the shape of a T?

I have one slight disagreement with this post.

There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy.

And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

“I will not be deterred.”
“I will not be distracted.”

The Weakness and Incompetence of American Authoritarianism And why it needs to be continually highlighted.

As @dandrezner.bsky.social notes, we must highlight where Trump's authoritarianism is failing, too.

"Civil resistance works. Combined with the inevitable economic downturn, it is what will bring his regime crashing down to Earth."

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate.

I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man.

Never change your last name.

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public?

Putin murders in Ukraine, threatens Europe, seeds terrorism in the Middle East, and attacks the US through election interference.

Failure to stop his imperialist Russia would be the greatest geopolitical failure of modern times.
