The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

Our dementia-addled President In Name Only hacks it up on the golf course again this weekend while rage-boy Gestapo Miller seethes and plots the 4th Reich.

Medicare for All is a fundamental human right. Full stop.

Image of an X post from @realDonaldTrump (Donald J. Trump) at 7:26 PM on October 3, 2025, with 2.54K ReTruths and 8.83K Likes. The post reads: "To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Last I checked, Congress makes the laws, not the White House.

A shocking video here, a shocking video there.
How much are we not seeing?

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!!

Just the one!!

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat (@ruthbenghiat) on Threads The Quantico spectacle earlier this week unveiled a deliberate plan to make the military into an authoritarian institution, and adapt the notion of the battlefield and the enemy for domestic purposes....

Yeah. I went to pick up and read cuz his name is everywhere. Happily I research authors before digging in. Pass.

I had this exact experience. Loved those novels but thought the weird sex stuff was weird.

I remember it now as a middle aged man and wonder what the fuck my parents were thinking. Also why society remembers Heinlein fondly when he basically admitted he was a pedo.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

When Trump won, his supporters truly thought it meant they had not just won the political conversation, but also that the rest of pop culture, sports, music and business would bend to them and it would force everyone to like them, even though half of the country didn't vote for Trump.

DOKOUPIL: Republicans says what you're really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for illegal aliens. I know that's not strictly true--

ELIZABETH WARREN: Excuse me, not strictly true? It is a flat out lie!

"I don't use the word lie lightly. To me it's got to be something that's fundamentally wrong that you can check against actual facts, and the people making the claim either know better or should know better. And I think all of those apply here." @citizencohn.bsky.social:

Kash Patel has "summarily dismissed" a trainee for displaying a pride flag.

"Summarily" means without attention to formalities. And there are formalities for firing a federal employee.

So the twit Kash is admitting that the firing was done in a pique of bigotry, not in accordance with the law.

US government: hurt as many women and children as you want, just don't steal a document

I'm so proud of those FBI agents who arrested me, they really did something there

UK antisemitism ‘allowed to grow’, Jewish security group says before pro-Palestine protests Head of policy at Community Security Trust calls Saturday’s planned protest against ban on Palestine Action ‘self absorbed and insensitive’

Is there anything more antisemitic than the assertion that opposing genocide on the streets constitutes, by definition, an anti-Jewish hate march? www.theguardian.com/news/2025/oc...

I cannot be bullied to vote for a bill that I know will price more people out of health insurance — especially at a time when everything else is completely unaffordable.

i have personally despised bari weiss for a long time, her book was incoherent garbage, and to see her rewarded with the plum of the profession while the smartest people i know are scraping for dollars is gross as hell

It’s all so depressing

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

My god, Mike Johnson is such a spineless, weak little man. Adelita Grijalva is not only not sworn in, but she can't hire staff and is locked out of her office. Are there any adults with a backbone still working in DC? #inners
