As of this week, there is nobody left on Earth who witnessed this moment live.

If you live in/represent a Blue State, want to gerrymander the FUCK out of your state, support and are willing to fight for a national anti-gerrymandering law you are principled, consistent and doing exactly the right thing.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

This is alarming - it’s very likely that we have a child rapist in the White House.

Listening to Ken Jennings play the puzzle with Will Shortz on NPR this morning. Holy crap, master kung fu level.

What's in the Epstein files is apparently so bad for Trump that he's now going full "looking for the real killer" and about to pardon the only living person who actually helped run Jeff's teenage girl wurlitzer. Worth noting GM not only procured but also sexually abused the girls herself.

Way to go South Park!

Files can’t be blackmailed.
Files can’t be extorted.
Files can’t be pardoned.
Files can’t be bribed.

Nothing can substitute for the release of all of the Epstein files.

The RFS Community space is only a week old and already more than 1,000 people are chatting away & getting started on their campaign prep. It’s just so cool to see the work working.

Yes! The convicted felon is throwing @$#% at the wall to try and distract from his raping and pedophila.

NYT headline 7/21/25: How Trump Deflected His Base’s Wrath Over Epstein, at Least for Now By tapping into other grievances, President Trump managed to turn one of the most fractious moments for his base into a unifying one.

NYT top story declares Epstein scandal already over and Trump victorious. Base more united even.

Evidence: Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer, and JD Vance said so. And Elon Musk said he doesn’t like the WSJ. Not exactly neutral parties.

It’s an editorial choice. Try to make it go away, not perpetuate it.

Monsters in ICE, led by the reptilian Miller.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Any politician who has never flown on the world’s most famous pedophile’s jet should call for a bipartisan committee to investigate — and then release — the Epstein files.

What a way to reach across the aisle.

If you put googly eyes on the Pillars of Creation you get muppets 😄😄

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

“From the depths” by William Balfour-Ker. A lavish party of the wealth is interrupted by an upraised fist breaking through their dance floor; underneath we can see the entire party venue is built on the shoulders of the marginalized and lower classes.

As big as the Mamdani win is, Landers ascent is in some ways even more significant for the national Democratic Party.

Most Dem electeds know that they don't have what Zohran has. But most can at least imagine themselves as a Lander.

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

No Kings Day

Democratic lawmaker killed and another wounded in Minnesota in apparently ‘politically motivated’ attacks Governor Tim Walz was briefed on ‘ongoing situation’ in which Minneapolis-area state senator and representative were shot

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning.

This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do.

So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

As the US Army celebrates it 250th birthday, Trump is celebrating the enemy that tried to defeat it.

I'm a big fan of your book Beyond Weird (and others) - thanks for all your work!
