It’s been a month since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social was elected by an overwhelming majority. Speaker Johnson still has yet to swear her in, leaving the people of #AZ07 without a voice in Congress. Enough is enough. Swear. Her. In.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Nate Cavanagh is the one who aided the Taliban

If there is justice, in a couple of years there will be Nurnberg style trial against this administration. But if the DNC has their way, they will probably go "well, they learned their lesson" and try to move on because it would be rude to the republicans and fascists try again in a few years.

At minimum we should be trying to make everyone on the DOGE team famous, and not in good ways.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

F.B.I. Plans to Lower Recruiting Standards, Alarming Agents

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force.

"Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..."

YouTube video by Northwest African American Museum Fannie Lou Hamer's Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party Speech

61 years ago today Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer one of the most courageous activists of the Civil Rights Movement posed the question that echoes today with every migrant round-up by masked officers, as federal troops converge on D.C.,as institutions are threatened:

“IS THIS AMERICA?”

Move the World Cup out of the US! It not safe!

Two things can be true:

1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings

2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed

FAFO

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

Q: What do you make of people like Greg Abbott, who has said that California is the problem, not Texas…

Newsom: Shockingly delusional. Look in the mirror, sir. You’re the one who initiated this. You coward. You couldn’t stand up to Donald Trump.

Why International Recognition of a Palestinian State Actually Matters The recent announcements from the West are more than mere symbolism.

Several Western nations are prepared to formally acknowledge a state of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly. “In some senses, the move is symbolic,” Hussein Ibish argues, “but it is a major step nonetheless."

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

People are so excited that we might be on the verge of civil war. I’m not. I’m a basic bitch who likes basic things like pumpkin spice lattes and not getting shot at in the grocery store.

Garcia: What I can say is that I want the American public to hear what Bill Barr said in his deposition — about how he views the current DOJ’s actions, and Todd Blanche’s actions as they relate to this deal with Ms. Maxwell. The American public should know what was said

A picture of a group of pine trees.

Trees communicate with each other. Everything is connected. Everything.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

The “summit” that could’ve been a text message

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

The fact that an indicted war criminal has been invited to the US to meet with the President to look at maps of the country he invaded tells you Putin has already won.

tRump’s magats are sloppy with sensitive information and top secret information but they take every precaution with the trump-maxwell-epstein files.

This is what happens when you staff your administration with White Entitled Incompetents (WEI) whose only qualification is abject loyalty to the gilded-tower grifter playing president of the United States...
