I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This is yet another warning to every single American that incremental fascism will eventually also come for them.

Hey, Washington Initiative 645 supporters - wealth taxes work. Vote no to tax billionaires in Washington State.

Бури, детка, бури! (That's Drill, baby, drill in the 1st lady's native language). The KGB was playing the loooong game.

Trump: "Drill, baby, drill... in Russia"

@marilynstrickland.bsky.social please read this post and the study it links and share with your colleagues.

"When one side rejects pluralism, electoral legitimacy, or epistemic accountability, then 'reconciliation' & even 'civility' function less as neutral civic virtues than as asymmetric constraints, & they risk unilaterally disarming pro-democracy forces." Gonna link to this piece every week, forever.

If this isn't textbook grounds for impeachment, I don't know what is. Maybe impeaching Guilfoyle could be a nice appetizer for the public? What do you think, @citizensimpeachment.com?

And I see your true colors shining through I see your true colors, that's why I hate you

A very Trump October surprise: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

After he’s dead, we’re gonna find out that the man who ruined our country was never actually elected, aren’t we?

Impeach. Impeach. Impeach. For every single impeachable offense. We have the weakest Democratic leadership at the worst possible moment.

There's a one word reason for decades of warmongering against Iran: Israel

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Not sure why this isn't an article about the complete failure of the local government to protect pedestrians. Oh, right - local car dealership ad dollars. amp-theolympian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.theo...

Israel got $2.8 billion dollars from the US government today so they can buy weapons - what did you get?

Why are we worrying about AI wiping out humans when we are already well into the process of doing it ourselves?

The draft 9th NW Power Plan calls for 2,100 MW of new gas. With climate extremes hitting the PNW, we can't build more fossil fuels. We have solar, storage, and efficiency. Tell the NW P&C - Zero New Fossil. Comment: nwcouncil.org/energy/ninthpowerplan

Fuck apartheid and the institutions that work against calling out genocide. variety.com/2026/music/n...

There should be a law against spam texts like we have for spam faxes.

The 1% are like this as the world burns down around them.

maybe I'm biased (by teaching climatology last semester) but it's so weird seeing people arguing about the dangers of AI in a "robots kill you, singularity!" sci-fi sense, some sort of future possible danger and not this immediate threat to our livable planet

License, registration, and three months of bank statements, please. The "don’t tread on me" party turns out to really mean "tread on me, but only via an algorithm that flags my checking account during a routine commute." www.military.com/dhs-program-...

The funny thing about Trump renaming New Mexico is that he is named repeatedly in the Epstein files as a rapist pedophile and he and his administration are actively covering up the investigation and release of the evidence.

California Legislature Passes Bill Requiring All General Election Presidential Candidates to Certify they are in Compliance with the 22nd Amendment ballot-access.org/2026/09/07/c...

I saw this post and wanted to address it. If you look at social media today, you’ll see good, empathetic people admitting they are losing hope. They look at climate change, rising authoritarianism, and corporate greed and feel entirely powerless. If you feel this way, I want

Damn, coffee bean prices have gone through the roof. $14 for a 12oz bag? Wtf.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

This is probably the most comprehensive list of orange man's malfeasance. It has 3800+ actions. www.trumpactiontracker.info#all-actions #ImpeachConvictRemove 1/2

It's like Night of the Living Dead with these neocon a**holes.

Any serious opposition party would be filing articles of impeachment under Rule IX for this. Instead, we have spineless corporate lackeys for party leadership.

“My parents died so fuck yours too,” is quite the argument against reasonable healthcare

Susan Collins voted to confirm Howard Lutnick, the person widely reported as most responsible for blowing up the deal. But now she’s concerned about what he has done because it’s an election year.

Like the guns don't kill people quote, xAI is claiming that "AI doesn't exploit minors, people exploit minors". Like every maker of dangerous products, they want to shift the blame away from their faulty design decisions.

We need a cover of Angry Samoans' "My Old Man's a Fatso": "My President's a Fatso"

President Trump’s medical measurements have been long dissected. But the president has appeared heavier in photos than he did during his campaign, and the administration said he gained 14 pounds between his most recent annual medical check-ups.

A visionary president would be pushing for a North American Union combining the economies of Canada, United States, and Mexico in an EU style agreement. Instead we have a moron who is raising taxes on everything we import from our neighbors and stirring up resentment and hatred between populations.

Current Democrat "leadership" are spineless enablers. Jeffries, in particular, is a Chihuahua when we need an American Bulldog. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...

Reactionaries manipulate liberals by invoking values that *reactionaries do not share*, and liberals fall for it again & again. It's such a fucking farce.

Your regular reminder that if not for the Trump and Bush tax cuts, federal revenues would keep pace with federal spending indefinitely. Instead, these tax cuts have added at least $10 trillion to the debt. The so called "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.
