EXCLUSIVE: A top Democratic strategist has launched new policy research and messaging hub, called Searchlight, with a goal of pushing the party toward the most effective, broadly popular positions.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Reminder that Trump was ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. That was nearly two months ago. If Trump can violate due process and openly defy a SCOTUS order, what’s to stop him from doing the same to anyone else?

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust. Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

When warnings of Insectageddon were issued a few years ago, there was widespread denial. Less so now. It's devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

The title and description says it all. You're only American until they decide you're not, and until they say you've done something you haven't. The tines on the broad brush just get finer until everyone is swept away but the cultists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKXW...

From Leeja Miller, the latest Heritage Foundation masterpiece: Project Esther. (Note the subversive hate groups) Includes: labelling many groups as 'pro-Hamas,' propagandizing American Jews to become pro-Israel. Who is a Hamas Supporter? You don't get to decide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLFg...

It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

The more I read by/about Curtis Yarvin the more I descend into despair that this try-hard lunatic who was on the receiving end of too many swirlies as a kid has almost single handedly brought about a national suicide. I grabbed @willsommer.bsky.social to discuss: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB4x...

Trump is trying to sell his domestic policy bill with lies. Let’s break them down. Trump said, “We’re not doing any cutting of anything meaningful. The only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud and abuse.” False.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

At some point, our society will need to stop ignoring this injustice.

I have only seen @repdangoldman.bsky.social speak to the unlawful use of masks by ICE agents. We demand a response from dem leaders❗️Hold a hearing - sanctioned or NOT. ICE now posing as TEP (electric company) in Tucson. Enough of the lawlessness! I want accountability from Congress.

I feel safer already.

They literally have to put cartoons in Trump’s daily intel briefings because “he doesn't read!” What's next, reformatting his intel brief into a coloring book? MAGA's stupidity will kill us all.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I have a request for all major accounts covering the Orange Reich: Once you've identified the latest outrage/crime/hypocrisy/etc., PLEASE *ALSO* mention things people are doing to fight back. MANY brave people are doing so, but they hardly get ANY air, so they're can't inspire people to join them.

From @farronbalanced.bsky.social of the Ring of Fire, a perspective on Tim Walz on bullies and politics: It is clear that the Right's playbook of throwing mud and insults is working. Democrats must learn from this that now is the time for the spirit of the fight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI7_...

"Last but certainly not least, I endorse Zohran for his inspiration. This guy has brought out thousands upon thousands of fellow New Yorkers into rallies, into meetings, on the streets going door to door. This is a massive operation that I've never seen before." - @liunewyork.bsky.social

Goes to show, the American people are distinct from the American government, and their views, values, and actions do not always align with those of the people and institutions that represent them.

In the USA, certain type of classes and presentations involving history, and especially fascism, are being cancelled. The humanities are being eroded or masked in the USA. Some educators or professors are going to Canada to give their presentations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pcx... #CdnPoli

Artificial blood has been a holy grail of medicine. This will be a vast and potent change to medicine if it is proven successful in further trials. I hope volunteers and donors will continue to march to needs in the meantime, and afterwards. engineerine.com/japans-unive... #MedSky #ScienceSky

It is accurate that President Donald Trump has stated he is considering pardoning individuals convicted in the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. In May 2025, Trump described the convictions of Barry Croft Jr. (1/9)

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .

Another Republican caught using bots to push their agenda. If you’ve felt like the internet has been flooded with hate and misinformation, it’s not just a feeling. It’s part of a pattern.

FACT: If you fell for this, you'll fall for anything.

He nailed it!

a reminder that there are almost certainly feds reading posts on here and you do not need to win arguments about how antifascist you are with people who you don’t know.

This is a good capture. Some humour amid the chaos.
