Millions rally against authoritarianism, while the White House portrays protests as threats – a political scientist explains theconversation.com/millions-ral...

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

From Kent State to Los Angeles, using armed forces to police civilians is a high-risk strategy theconversation.com/from-kent-st...

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the U.S. military from engaging in domestic law enforcement activities against civilians. The Trump regime wants to use military force against unarmed US citizens.

Yikes

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Now I really really hate him.

BREAKING: While families beg for insulin and food, Republicans passed a budget that protects billionaires and punishes the poor. Medicaid, SNAP, school meals, and veterans’ care are gone. This is not fiscal responsibility. It’s economic terrorism. www.newsweek.com/what-republi...

Susan Crawford won a seat on the Wisconsin supreme court : a referendum on musk and trump’s popularity, in fact. Even if musk bought Red voters, Wisconsin stood up and proved that justice does not have a price. "Our courts are not for sale” said Crawford. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

24 hours done! Go Cory Booker! Segregationists in shambles! Strom Thurmond's filibuster record about to be broken! #CoryBooker www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUK...

History being made right here.

Not only did Pete Hegseth hire his younger brother but he also had his wife tag along to meetings while they were discussing sensitive information? Pete Hegseth has gotta go. Resign. Immediately.

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

Requiring Disabled to attend every meeting in person at Social Security is cruel and wanton punishment for being born imperfect or being injured into disability Most of these people cannot easily accomplish this

American from Tennessee here. I don't shop Amazon, ever. I have a new affinity for Crown Royal instead of Kentucky bourbon, and I just love Tim Hortons coffee. Now more than ever. Elbows up!

For anyone who has ever worked with a funeral director or Decedent Affairs, (I have) knows that the day they pass is the day is the day the SS benefits cease. As the Death Certificate is prepared, SSA is notified. Unless you bury your loved one in the woods and don't tell anyone, the checks stop.

GOV. WALZ IN IOWA: “This an issue of - do you stand with veterans? If you do, you should not have voted YES like your rep did to cut the VA. It’s that simple.”

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

The Kennedy Center will become a Spirit Halloween, and those that voted for Mango Mussolini are at fault. But then again, the only fine entertainment they know is WWE wrestling. Not surprised.

Some federal workers are going back to work. The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back. Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired. The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

This.

The Trump administration is: *breaking the law by not spending appropriated money from Congress *breaking the law by ignoring a court order *lying about it *killing people *silencing public employees who are pointing all of this out

This definitely requires a follow. Absolute perfection. 🏆🤌

This is exactly what a frightened abused wife would send to her family about her abusive husbands actions at thanksgiving, because he’s checking her phone It’s sick and sad

fuck this administration. i’m off to buy dinner from immigrants who run the best mexican restaurant my city’s ever had. have a good evening, y’all.

🚨 Trump & Vance just disgraced America by mocking Zelenskyy & siding with Putin. We MUST demand our leaders stand with Ukraine, not a despicable regime. Use my free @resistbot petition to flood Congress with letters. Silence is complicity! 🇺🇦📢 Send yours now: resist.bot/petitions/PM...

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Vote day of and in person. They will think they won, and we use their own voting rules to beat them at the ballot box.

This is a great time for MAGAt antivaxxers' to invest in tiny little caskets. They will make a "killing."

Yeah... what happened? money + lack of compassion + greed + cold hearts...

I have to say the 2 left feet part kinda tracks.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
