Guess who has seen the Epstein files, every single page, every video, photo, name, and accomplice.

Release the Smith files!

We have a convicted felon & rapist whose other crimes are only hidden bc the election interrupted the prosecuting of the cases against him.

Because Garland stalled them.

We may soon lose our 250-year-old democracy to this criminal and never know the depths of his crimes.

Rolling Stone excerpt about Montana’s ballot initiative to combat Citizens United

Rolling Stone excerpt about Montana’s ballot initiative to combat Citizens United

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time β€” so please pass it onπŸ‘‡

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms β€” not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

In a rare show of courtesy, police departments all over the US reported that the mass protests on October 18th were overwhelmingly peaceful and posted thank you messages for protestors. Out of millions of people, only MAGA agitators were arrested. ICE stayed away due to the crowd size. #3E #NoKings

19.10.2025 16:54 πŸ‘ 1744 πŸ” 513 πŸ’¬ 39 πŸ“Œ 19

Fun fact: There were ZERO arrests of #NoKings protesters yesterday, however there were 22 MAGAs arrested for attempting to incite violence.

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the β€œcrown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

There are nearly 2.86 million people in the US military, out of that amount there are about 1.31 million active-duty troops, 765,495 National Guard and reserve members. The rest are civilian employees that ensure the logistics that make it possible to arm, house, feed, medcare, pay everyone. 1/

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged. As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds.

This is a reason why we should ditch the Electoral College & Senate & adopt proportional representation for the House so every voter counts equally no matter where they live.

Our system insulates the governing party from electoral blowback in uncompetitive states & districts if it screws them over

β€œThe 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.Β 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Yes, if a male grifter like Chris Rufo or Ben Shapiro were named the head of CBS News, yes, the reaction would have been just as fierce.

No one is objecting because she's a woman. Jesus, get a grip.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s β€œStare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Careful and powerful analysis by @gregsargent.bsky.social of the New York Times treating Trump's propagandists as "provocateurs" and decision to treat MAGA's ideologically-driven lies as part of a legitimate clash of perspectives in describing Portland.
