Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Anyway, if you're familiar with the dynamic, it is impossible not to notice the way it is playing out on the national stage, with Republicans the daddy party and Democrats the mommy party. Daddy's raging, destroying, lashing out, & most political analysis amounts to ...

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

The American experiment is based on the idea that citizenship is not based on ethnicity. We tried to conflate the two with slavery and the constitution failed as a result. The reconstruction amendments made this principle explicit. This shit is fundamentally anti American and anti patriotic.

My son and I will be there on Sunday—his first viewing! 🦈

Repost if you support my legislation with @aoc.bsky.social to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists.

Donald J. Trump & € @realDonald Trump The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of "WOKE." The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been - Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the "HOTTEST" Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums. 23 ReTruths 58 Likes Aug 19, 2025, 1:46 PM

In 1776, approximately 20% of the people who lived in the 13 colonies were enslaved. As his White House gears up for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Trump wonders why we spend so much time talking about how bad slavery was.

All true—plus, isn’t it Chicago’s job to “compete with New York,” rather than the other way around?!? Doesn’t sound like a future mayor of NYC to me! 😆

Different Party, Same Ideology The South Switched Teams but Kept the Same Ideology

🔥🧵Different Party, Same Ideology

There’s a favorite talking point on the American right: “Democrats were the party of slavery. Democrats were the party of Jim Crow.”

Also liberals are fucking dumb not to blame shit on Republicans. Most liberals wouldn’t blame Trump for COVID either. Stop being so fucking nice. They drowned those Texans. They gave us all Covid. They’re the problem.

Jesus H Christ.

It’s such a profoundly important point - and one all (capital-D) Democrats and (small-d) democrats should seize on relentlessly: Define your project through the egalitarian promise, acknowledge the country has yet to live up to it, insist it is a patriotic duty to finally fulfill that vision.

Homeland Security tweet with pictures of alligators wearing ICE hats

The time for careful calculation has passed. It made sense in earlier political moments, but not now. The GOP has called the question. Are we a nation who chuckles when a DHS secretary who shot her dog in a gravel pit makes a joke about alligators ripping the flesh of humans in her custody, or not?

This would've been a daily stormer thread a decade ago. Neo-nazi conspiracy theories are mainstream now.

Yes—who should I report this to?!? 😏

“So much winning. . .”

Get in line, just behind the wars and the tax cuts for the filthy rich. . . 🤷‍♂️ 👎 🇺🇸 #TaxTheRich

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Trump Wants to Cut Tribal College Funding by Nearly 90%, Putting Them at Risk of Closing ProPublica found that Congress was underfunding tribal colleges by a quarter-billion dollars per year. Rather than fixing the problem, proposed federal funding cuts unveiled this week would devastate…

The Trump administration has proposed cutting nearly 90% of funding for tribal colleges and universities, a move that would devastate institutions serving Indigenous communities in the U.S.

This was always clearly the objective and many in the media also insisted on treating anyone who said so clearly like they were some kind of lunatic bsky.app/profile/carn...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I had a simple question: Has President Trump increased has net worth since taking the White House? And if so, by how much?

The answer was more surprising than I anticipated. Simply put, he has more than doubled his net worth in 4 months.

Here's how:

For many, many students, it’s at college that they really meet (and know, and befriend) their first “X or Y or Z” person—it is world-expanding, just being on campus, which makes it all anathema to provincial, narrow, “controlled” ways. “Your sons and your daughters; are beyond your command.”—Dylan

Looks that way; they’re now 44-16 since January 1–a serious threat to win it all!

FWIW, the Heritage Foundation has a journalism fellowship named after the Guardabassi family. The male head of that family was one of Mussolini's emissaries in the US in the 1930s, and his wife "Countess Guardabassi" was one of the leading funders of US antisemites and neo-Nazis in the 1950s-60s.

Expedited South African refugees to resettle in Idaho under Trump order South Africa is Elon Musk’s home nation. The white refugees from there got preferential treatment from the Trump administration.

In the 1980s, American fascists tried to turn Idaho into a white Christian nationalist homeland for “refugees” from American multi-racial democracy and religious pluralism. One such community was called “Aryan Nations.” So this tracks perfectly . www.idahostatesman.com/news/politic...

The belief in “tech” over human beings and our connections to each other is predictable, but staggering. Staggering.

Road teams are 6-0 in this round so far, and the top 2 seeds in the East are in DEEP trouble—wild! 🏀

We should be “banning the concept of ‘personal brands,’” instead! 🤷‍♂️
