Armed officers in military-style gear confront a group of civilians during a tense outdoor standoff; one officer points a rifle at a young man who raises his hands defensively while others shout in the background, with trees and houses visible behind them.

This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

It turns out that making things more expensive makes them more expensive.

Why didn’t he just let the air out of her tires?

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Sigh. I really should have this as a tattoo or a needlepoint pillow...

Could the blue state governors tie up their own NG by putting them to work around the state on other "emergencies"? Like infrastructure, helping seniors with grocery shopping and gardening????

ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ Apple removed ICEBlock reportedly after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials. “I am incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never t...

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

Many people are asking for the Epstein files to be released, too.

Unless he is firing all of them. They are going to take over the military in a way we could never imagine.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Will we, though?

The last 24 hours have made clear that independent and pro-democracy media is more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that.

Elon sharing the name of 66 random not-famous people to his many millions of followers because this person said they said things she didn’t like about Charlie Kirk.

I erased the names and employers from the screenshot but you can see their jobs. Nurses, teachers etc.

This horrifying. Every MSM outlet that continues on X should confronted with the conduct of this disgraceful owner who they legitimize with their presence.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

He's a sourdough guy

Moskowitz on Mike Johnson: "If he was lying then, is he lying now? ... I don't think in the history of this country we've had a Speaker of the House say the president was an FBI informant ... we need to hear from the FBI."

Promises made, promises kept!

This is not a new revelation. This BS story has been out there for years. How about this - release ALL the files unredacted except victim info and let’s see exactly what Trump’s relationship with him was, so we don’t have to take the word of the man who is blocking their release.

YouTube’s Deal With the Devil Google once declared OAN too toxic for its platform—now Sundar Pichai and Neal Mohan are breathing new life into the conspiracy network as they negotiate a high-stakes agreement with Rupert Murdoch's ...

Back in 2020, YouTube suspended OAN's channel, demonetized it, and noted it was not an "authoritative" source.

Now, five years later, the Google-owned platform has inked a deal to put the MAGA propaganda network in millions of living rooms.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
