HILARIOUS. The fraudsters at #TNGOP sent this text to voters to try to make them think my friend is making porn or something. But what’s REALLY behind the censor bar? A fully-dressed woman. The videos don’t contain ANY sexual content either. Anyway, vote blue all the way down ballot, #Chattanooga!

It’s music to my ears anytime I hear anyone has rejected MAGA anything.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

Canada’s two most independent-minded provinces don’t want independence yet—especially not while their southern neighbor is threatening to destroy their country.

Wednesday evening in DeKalb County, #Alabama! Meet the candidates and other sane, Democracy-loving people. Anyone interested, PM me for the address. (You CAN email the email address shown, but it’s just an unnecessary extra step since it’s at my house.) #DekalbCountyAlabama #BlueWave #Midterms

This coming Wednesday evening 5-7! Hang out with sane, democracy-loving people & meet 2 of our local female Democratic candidates! Enjoy refreshments • food and snacks • wine & various non-alcoholic beverages! There will be NO pressure to donate. Details in alt text -> #Alabama #MidtermElection

Registered nurse Amanda Pusczek is running for Congress to represent Alabama‘s eighth congressional district, and she’s up against a long time incumbent MAGA puppet.

I had to. How could I resist a Hot Ghouls For Pusczek mug? C’mon man. It’s October! 🦇 🕷️ 💀 🕯️ 🌙 👻 Let’s get rid of Robert Aderholt. www.amandaforalabama.com @amandaforalabama.bsky.social

LOLLLL Reddit gave my account a warning FOR SAYING ISRAEL IS WIPING OUT THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. … while Israel wipes out the Palestinian people on live TV. Go die in a fire, Reddit.

Certainly the best news I’ve heard all day.

Texas Observer@texasobserver.org

“It’s not that many of them have decided to become Democrats, although some will vote Democratic. They are disillusioned by Trump and are not motivated to turn out to vote for anyone this year.”

👏 NAME THEM 🙌 and SHAME THEM! ICE should not be able to terrorize American communities with impunity! And apparently yet another judge has agreed! #ChingaLaMigra #StopICE #NoFascistUSA #AThreadOfHope

10/4 South Portland resident's lawsuit unmasks identities of the two ICE agents who threatened him in Scarborough during the ICE surge in Maine in January #maine #MEpolitics

LGBTQIA+ rights ARE human rights.

“I’m here to tell anyone who’s listening that fighting for basic, fundamental freedoms is the right thing to do and the politically smart thing to do every single time.” Thank you for fighting like hell for our LGBTQ+ community, Gretchen Whitmer. 💙

I’m having trouble keeping track of the regime’s losses in court. 0-26? And HE appointed half these judges!!! #SoMuchLosing #NoFascistUSA #AThreadOfHope #Georgia

Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social

JUST IN: A federal judge has denied DOJ's effort to obtain Georgia's complete, unredacted voter list, the latest in a string of more than two dozen defeats for the Trump administration in efforts to obtain state voter rolls. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

More Republicans endorsing Democrats. #Alabama #AThreadOfHope #RonSparksForAlabama

AL.com@al.com

Troy King, a Republican, said he is endorsing Ron Sparks, a Democrat, because Alabama consumers and farmers need someone who will help them. “We need more people that will look beyond the party lavel and look at who’s really working for them."

Iowa Farmers’ Union endorses Democrats in all federal elections. Because farmers know what Trump and #MAGA are doing to US farming! Pay the farmer, or you’ll pay the doctor. #SaveOurFarms #StopTrump #AThreadOfHope #USFarmers

Jess Piper@piperformissouri.bsky.social

How many years have I been telling you to keep your eye on Iowa? I know what I’m seeing on the ground and what I’ve been seeing for a couple of years… LFG!

Your good news for this morning… we still have sane, ethical judges who will defend the constitution from our fully delusional President! #AThreadOfHope #SoMuchLosing #1stAmendment #StopTrump #NoFascistUSA

HELL Kennedy@helenkennedy.com

Judge doesn't buy Trump's obvious lies and orders him to return credentials to reporters. "The Court is skeptical—at least on this record—that Defendants’ interest in safeguarding national security is the actual motivation for, or is even advanced by, the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes."

More localities push back against the massive, polluting data centers! Keep it going!! #AThreadOfHope #StopTheSlop

Sen. Danica Roem@pwcdanica.bsky.social

Homeowners “held a rally to push back against a proposed Dominion Energy gas-insulated substation. The board unanimously rejected” it. “‘It's got to stop, and the people are demanding that this runaway corporate greed stop,‘ said Virginia State Senator Danica Roem.” www.fox5dc.com/news/prince-...

OMG, they ACTUALLY said, “if he starts to make NEWS.” They actually did that dig at him on FOX NEWS. Folks, they’re really starting to turn on each other. The ordinarily very measured @hcrichardson.bsky.social has even been saying it. Please just eat each other alive, MAGA. #AThreadOfHope

DemCast USA@demcast.com

Imagine JD Vance spouting so much pure nonsense that Fox News cuts his live rally off mid-sentence and promises to return "if he starts to make news." Even state media is openly admitting his speeches are useless filler!

Amanda Pusczek is a registered nurse running for Congress to #FireRobertAderholt. That useless, Trump-humping MAGA seat-filler has been collecting a paycheck and doing NOTHING for the people of AL-04 for THIRTY YEARS. Let's send him home! #FireAderholt #AThreadOfHope #AmandaForAlabama

Micah@rincewind.run

with all the bad news for trans rights recently I think it’s important to highlight some good news good for governor spanberger

A fundraiser and meet & greet for Katie Kramer, one of our female, #Democratic candidates in #Henagar, #Alabama. There is no pressure to donate; please feel free to come just to meet our local candidate for state senate so you can put a face to a name on the ballot! #BlueWave2026 #NoFascistUSA

We're going to sweep the midterms with sane, responsible people, but not by sitting at home and saying "we're going to sweep the midterms." We have to get up off our butts and get everyone to vote, but if we do we're getting rid of these goddamn fascists! #NoFascistUSA #AThreadOfHope #SoMuchLosing

I’m at the Democratic office in Fort Payne, Alabama and we have just received word from a local youth pastor that ICE are in town and taking people. She said one of her youth’s mothers was just taken. #FortPayneAlabama #FortPayne #ICEAlert #Alabama

Cannabis products have done 2 & only 2 things in my life the past ten years. 1. Takes my extreme tiredness & adds sleepiness to it so I can fall asleep and not just be wired but too tired to move, 2. If I’m losing too much weight 1 puff before dinner makes me hungry. Y’all why’d that be illegal?

If you put up a poll asking folks what they would put in the blank space here: “We’ll never be a great country as long as __________,” got 100 answers but only had room for 25, almost every one of the other 75 people would believe that you didn’t choose theirs because you are anti-whatever-they-are.

We're gearing up here in NE Alabama for a guns-blazing, full-court agitprop press from now until the midterm elections. Here are a few of the stickers we are printing out on label sheets to give to local youth (and Millenials LOL) to stick up around town, give to friends, etc. #NoFascistUSA #BlueDot

But if you can't do either of those things, I totally understand! After all, I'm pretty broke myself! There are two more ways you can help: - Share and enjoy! - Send me any great infographics or posts you find that would make good stickers or small posters!

A battle in local politics that turns right-wing narratives right on their heads: Transgender Liberal Democrat Russell Township, Ohio Trustee Amy Heutmaker fights to STOP county *Republicans* from defunding the police. Thank you @dailybeanspod.com for reporting this! #Ohio #RepublicanHypocrisy

amyheutmaker.comFiscal Responsibility Is Not the Same Thing as Being CheapAmy's Note: This post is longer than usual. Given what is at stake for Russell Township residents, it needed to be. And yes, I just did an interview on a national podcast to talk about it!Please help ...

Has anyone made a post, a website, one huge graphic, or anything showing every social media post #Trump made in the 24 hours where he posted the most in this past week? The day with the space force uniforms and all that other insane shit? #25thAmendment #Unfit #NoFascistUSA #ConstitutionalCrisis

Also not good news about the direction our country is going, but about something you can do: send this video clip to every news station in your area & demand they report on #ICE driving across multiple front lawns to commit vehicular assault on people on private residential property. #ChingaLaMigra

Friendly Neighborhood Mouse@missmouse.bsky.social

Which is when ICE decided to drive onto the sidewalk and come straight towards the crowd, forcing them to move out of the way or get run over. One woman did have her foot run over. Thankfully she was wearing steel-toed boots or some sort of protective footwear. (Frederick, MD - September 4, 2026)

I usually only post good news and good trouble for those of us resisting the fascist criminals currently running our country, but today I’m taking a break to post an absolutely heartwarming story of decisive and heroic action. #ChinaGT #LoekHartog

Ken Childs@thekenchilds.com

Holy crap. From the China GT this weekend, Ollie Millroy had a huge accident, car was on fire and seemingly the track marshals were asleep at the wheel while Millroy struggled to get out Enter Loek Hartog, who literally pulled over, got out of his race car, and helped get Millroy out of his car.
