Gavin Newsom’s Twitter account is up 450% in followers since June and the number of people searching for him in Google is up to 1300%. Maga is freaking out !

Pro-Palestine protesters fill the streets in cities and towns across Australia after Gaza famine declaration ‘The difference between my kids and those kids in Palestine is geography,’ one attendee says, as thousands turn out for marches www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

International postal services are suspending shipments to the US after an exemption on tariff duties for small packages is set to expire. It’s the latest example of how President Trump’s sweeping trade policy is impacting US consumers and businesses: https://cnn.it/45NxNU9

Vance says today that Russia has made “significant concessions.” Meanwhile, Lavrov says he won’t even meet with the Ukrainians because Zelensky isn’t a legitimate president. What the Admin says to the American people about Russia’s position is far different from what Russia says.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

People don't join the United States armed forces to police American cities.

South Park’s ratings have been setting records. The season 27 premiere delivered 6 million cross-platform viewers and had the show's biggest share in 25 years.

This fascist power grab serves multiple purposes: to silence not merely DC residents but protest itself as DC is where we go to speak out; to stoke fear in order to have people self-censor in word & deed; to advance narrative of lawless, POC-led cities that must be brought to heel.

He spends $200 MILLION of your💰on a ballroom and his family doesn’t deny making billions off his presidency. As you cheer for him caging brown ice cream men & kids, he invades DC to cover a child sex trafficking ring and trashes the constitution to cling to power. He laughs.

California Democrats are now actively redrawing maps to eliminate five Republican-held seats. Can God get an amen?

Newsom: "We're doing this in reaction to a president that called the governor of the state of Texas and said 'find me 5 seats' ... we cannot unilaterally disarm ... other blue states need to stand up"

Pragmatic progressives — armed with bread-and-butter proposals to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and an upbeat message of hope — are the future of the Democratic Party. This is a good thing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/bread-and-butter-and-hope

BREAKING: LOS ANGELES (AP) - California Gov. Newsom calls for Nov. 4 special election on redistricting plan aimed at adding Democratic US House seats.

NEWSOM: “We are asking the voters for their consent to respond to what’s happening in Texas.” There will be a special election this November in California.

I teamed up with @repdexteror.bsky.social to introduce the CLEAR ID Act because ICE shouldn't be allowed to hide behind masks and unmarked cars—especially not on the taxpayer’s dime. (1/2)

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

Trump admin must restore 100s of UCLA research grants, federal judge rules www.latimes.com/california/s... worth noting—this lawsuit was filed by a group of academics, not UCLA or CA. Hope academics at other schools follow their lead before there are more settlements (& tenure still exists)!

Ohio parents of kids with disabilities are receiving letters from the school board demanding they pay “extra” for their disabled children. This is ableism and discrimination at its finest. They weren’t even given adequate warning. Just 17 days to pay up.

MO Republican Governor ignored referendum by voters for $15/ hr Minimum Wage. He rolled it back. He & Republicans don’t want working class to have Medicaid, Medicare, healthcare or a living wage. So MO, why continue to vote for these ppl who don’t care about YOU? NYT 7-12-25

Democrats voted unanimously to ban gerrymandering. MAGAs voted unanimously to allow gerrymandering. Democrats voted unanimously for the Voting Rights Act. MAGAs voted unanimously against the Voting Rights Act. If MAGAs could win elections on ideas they wouldn't be banning fair elections altogether

While Trump is taking away our freedoms, hurting families and our communities, NAACP recognizes the urgency to fight back and will hold nationwide town halls leading up to the midterms in 2026.

A divided appeals court handed President Donald Trump's administration a legal victory on Tuesday, finding that the U.S. DOGE Service can access sensitive federal data despite serious privacy concerns.

There really seems to be a pool of people who don’t understand that talking about politics and governing are different things. Politics is wanting cheaper housing. Governing is understanding how HUD works and how best to utilize it to create federal housing policy. Presidents should know BOTH.

Train Carrying Hazardous Material Derails In Texas: What To Know https://twp.ai/4ipEju

ICE attacked US citizen Andrea Velez, slamming her to the ground No probable cause, no warrant and-while they claim no racial profiling-it seems clear why they did it Then they arrested her to cover it up Throwing her in a cell without even a glass of water Unsurprisingly she's not the only one

National Guard troops arrive on D.C. streets. Would of been nice had he done this on Jan. 6, when there was a real threat to democracy.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

For the idiots who said the orange felon would never be allowed to become a Dictator in the US, take a look at him literally seizing total control of Washington DC despite no legitimate reason other than to consolidate power and militarize the area he’s in just because he can.

The rhetoric says they’re kicking illegals out of the country. The reality is that they’re kicking people of color out of the country.

@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."

Cashing in on human suffering is obscene! In New Mexico, more than 30 people got pacemakers they didn’t even need—so a hospital, a doctor, and a manufacturer could line their pockets. Predatory doesn’t even begin to cover it. Biotronik kept the scam alive with kickbacks to the provider. 🧵

@crockett.house.gov: "They pledge their fealty to some idiot who's obviously struggling mentally. Whether it's mental decline or whether he's ever had the capacity, they decided they're going to do whatever he wants them to do.. I never thought I'd see the day that a Texan would bow down to a NYer."

TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

Explain to me how ICE agents decimating restaurants in the local Pittsburgh area is “good for this country.” What happened at Emiliano’s Mexican Restaurant & Bar this week was downright disgusting. 16 hard working individuals violently ripped from the restaurant during business hours.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

According to economists, the average American family is going to have to pay an extra $2,400 a year more on products because of Trump's tariffs, which makes it the largest tax increase in US history. Thanks Donald.

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across Israel to protest against the Netanyahu government’s plan to expand its military operation in the Gaza Strip. Families of hostages were among the protesters amid new fears over the 50 remaining captives, with 20 of them thought to be alive.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Shut this concentration camp down! Attorneys for a Venezuelan man who collapsed inside “Alligator Alcatraz” are accusing the facility of failing to provide adequate care for sick detainees.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Transgender people in sports is complicated issue. Transgender people who have served in military between 15 & 18 years is NOT complicated. They're not "medically unfit. They've served US & risked their lives for years. They at least deserve retirement benefits. Period.
