A VIENNESE COFFEE HOUSE "is a democratic club to which admission costs the small price of a cup of coffee. (...) every guest can sit for hours on end, discuss, write, play cards, receive his mail, and, above all, can go through an unlimited number of newspapers and magazines." Stefan Zweig 💛

The LA protests are important as we must continue to fight against the trump regime. But we can’t be distracted by it & need to continue to focus on the big ugly bill that Rs want to pass that would slash Medicare/Medicaid and add more $$ of expelling immigrants. Call your R senators 202-224-3121.

stop electing people that you wouldn’t trust to drive your car, watch your house, or babysit your children.

Trump who put 140 cops 👮 in the hospital Jan6 ‼️has the nerve to Lecture Los Angeles and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social on “ if you threaten or lay a hand on police 👮 we will arrest you⁉️ He released all Jan6 thugs on Inauguration Day ‼️

Keep repeating this. Over. And. Over. And. Over. And. Over.

Please, and quickly!

Dr. Annie Andrews is a pediatrician turned Democratic politician from South Carolina. She announced her campaign to defeat Senator Lindsay Graham. Here’s a breakdown of her background and political career: A pediatrician in the Charleston area for nearly 20 yrs working at the Medical USC.

France’s Europe Minister said “We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years”.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

How very ironic that GOP Governors aren’t standing up for states’ rights here. I guess that only matters if you’re denying women or transgender people access to medical care. democraticgovernors.org/updates/stat...

Isn’t the fact that Felon 47 is deploying the National Guard in L.A. proof that he had the power on January 6th; not Nancy Pelosi? Funny how that authority only matters when it suits him.

BREAKING The City of Glendale, California — one of the most populous cities in Southern California — says it has terminated its contract with U.S. Homeland Security and ICE.

The burning question we all have is, when is enough enough? When do we take back America? When do we confront armed thugs whose entire purpose is to terrorize people into submission? When do we send the message to white nationalists that if they want a dictatorship, they need to move elsewhere!

Who & what is the U.S. military serving — the American public or the Trump's political agenda? With Trump, the answer is not the rule of law, our longstanding values or established norms. Instead, as always with this administration — whatever most serves the president’s interests & impulses.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

The counter to fascism isn’t milquetoast.

It has happened. Sweden, get on it. International waters...Israel thinks they have unlimited power.

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

The Discourse has shifted into a new phase, we have gone from "Bluesky is dying" to "microblogging is dying" "It's all irrelevant!" Remember, I am into silent movies. How much do you think relevance matters to me? 🤪

Okay. Start with the ones abducting and trafficking people, and denying their rights to freedom of speech and due process.

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

Ruffin [RUHF-in] (n.) A devil or fiend. (adj.) In a state of confusion or disarray; disordered or disheveled. Used in a sentence: “Unhand me, you foul ruffin! What unscrupulous machinations has that nefarious sleeveen chicaned you into this time?”

Boscaresque [BOSK-uh-RESK] (adj.) - Adorned with thickets or groves; sylvan. - Pleasantly rural or pastoral; picturesque. Used in a sentence: “I really need to sojourn somewhere boscaresque where I can find respite beneath the boughs, supine and repose, listening to the tranquil psithurism.”

Trump is attacking every source of university income (research grant cancellations, a proposed endowment tax, cutting Pell Grant eligibility and in the 'big beautiful bill' changing the student loan program). It's a declaration of fiscal war on universities with students as collateral damage.

Message of strength ~ Meet Yvonne Engelman, born in 1927, she lost her whole family in Auschwitz at age 14. She died earlier this year. Her memory is indeed a blessing. “Don’t give in…Don’t (let) anybody ever take your spirit away.” Embrace Yvonne’s spirit.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

You know who thinks guns *do* kill people? The mass murderers who try to buy them.

Yeah, Mr. Senator, YOUR job, which provides healthcare that WE pay for. One third of the jobs for the rest of us don't provide healthcare.

In fairness, the guy running the Defense Department doesn't know anything about running a Defense Department. And the woman running the Department of Justice knows nothing about justice. And the person running Homeland Security only knows about dressing up in cute little costumes. It's a theme.

The homophobia that Donald Trump routinely and cynically trades in to get applause from his hateful fans is what got Jonathan Joss murdered.

There are few things more woke than portraying the ridiculousness of conservatives, as "All in the Family" did each week.

Trump softened America up for the ICE Gestapo by constantly saying migrants are dangerous criminals who don't lead ordinary lives. So why is ICE raiding neighborhood restaurants & immigration courts instead of drug dens & dog fights? (BTW militarization of domestic law enforcement is abhorrent.)

Remember when this pic of EliĂĄn GonzĂĄlez was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?
