Folks, how much more excessive force and brutality against women and citizens do we have to witness before we do something?

Fire NOEM and Homan, defund ICE and shut this Gestapo $hitshow down NOW.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Thou shalt not shoot priests in the head. I shouldn’t have to say this.

Yep, she didn't want to lie to Congress, which, as I understand from her, could be against the law. Hmm 🤔

Trump biographer Michael Wolff says Epstein showed him Polaroids of Trump with topless teenage girls

When asked if she's seen those pics, AG Pam Bondi wouldn't say "No!"

And litigious Trump hasn't sued Wolff for defamation

#ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

Whew! Faith in a small sliver of humanity is restored. 😀

Epstein survivor pressures Speaker Johnson on Epstein files vote: 'We have been through enough' www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Well, I didn't think there could ever be a feeling like when I found out about Santa Claus. But, learning @11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social with @stephruhle.bsky.social is pre-taped ... well, I now have a 1a and 1b on my list.

As evening fell on the site of an ICE abduction at Lincoln and Foster, a lone protester held a vigil.

Trump is Nixon with no capacity to feel regret or shame, and enabled by a party and Congress that won't put the country first. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

More tariff policy evolution — via one man’s whim.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

These aren't random lies—they're part of the relatively short runway the Trump administration will use to illegally invoke the Insurrection Act and soon after declare martial law and end our democracy

I'm unsure if we have days or weeks left, but I suspect it's one of those two rather than months

A gunman with a hit list that had 45+ Democratic names on it. The gaslighting from them is unbelievable.

When the shit goes down everybody meet up at the library. The MAGAs don't know about that place.

Re-upping this piece I wrote a month ago, which becomes ever more relevant as Trump's tyranny worsens, as masked thugs keep terrorizing immigrants, and as the "Justice" Department keeps inventing charges against political opponents.
I ask: WHY WON'T THE MEDIA SAY TRUMP IS BECOMING A DICTATOR?
