Senator Bernie Sanders has a message for Speaker Johnson.

The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a "hate America" rally.
It's a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom.

Go to nokings.org and find a location near you to join the movement, 10/18.

We Hold the Flame Now!

Every chapter tells the same story: democracy survives because ordinary people choose to fight for it. The lesson is simple. The vigilance and action of the many, not the few, determine whether freedom lives or dies.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

One week ago: Trump told farmers that China was coming back to buy soybeans.

Today: He canceled the Xi meeting and is threatening massive new tariffs.

Trump lied. Again. And farmers get crushed. Again.
This isn't governing — it's arson.

And the president is holding the match.

Senate GOP approved $1 billion so Trump can renovate hand-me-down Qatari 747

But they can't get their shit together to pay our troops during #TrumpShutDown

Once again, Republicans standing up for billionaires and turning their backs on hardworking Americans

🚨 Retired Major Richard Ojeda explains the danger of “floating the use of the 82nd Airborne Division on American soil.” His message needs to be heard. Veterans, retired and active, are aware of the Posse Comitatus Act. The U.S. military is not to attack our own citizens. 1/2

The Nobel committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes was asked about the decision not to award the peace prize to Trump, after the American president and his allies made clear they thought he deserved it.

Fun Fact: no President of the United States has “plenary authority.”

The Constitution was written and structured to avoid EXACTLY THAT!!

People who publicly state otherwise violate the oath of office and should be removed.

They are incompatible with the idea of fealty to the Constitution.

Book bans do not protect children; they seek to control them. They limit what young people can know, imagine, and question.

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.

We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents' constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago
residents. We will not stand for
that in our city."
MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON

Across the country, hospitals are vanishing and doctors and paramedics tell ABC News they’ve already seen conditions worsen in irreversible ways — even deaths — because of shuttered hospitals in rural areas. #TrumpShutUSDown

Rep-elect Grijalva won her election TWO weeks ago, yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in.

Why? Because she would be the last signature needed on the Epstein vote.

“I think it’s valuable that the American people get a sense of what you’ve refused to answer today.” Senator Adam Schiff went on to list the various questions Bondi refused to answer.

Bondi was hired to be Trump’s shill. She’s doing that job well.

ICE’s raids echo Gestapo tactics—fear at dawn, families torn apart, rights ignored. America should never mirror the terror it once vowed to defeat. Compassion, not cruelty, defines true security.
