Has Bill Maher lost his fucking mind? I can't watch his shit any more. I kept putting it off but I've had enough. Its over!

The Department of Justice is Trump's department of justice. Todd Blanche say he works for Trump. Trump's DOJ is as fascist as it can be. Let's be clear, the the people have no DOJ. It is targeting people that oppose Trump's fascist regime. Trump will be putting his name on the DOJ building.

🚨NEW STORY🚨 Farmer Jamie Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Julia Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for. "This is not going to be a slam dunk," a pollster warns. thelensnola.org/2026/10/23/j...

🚨🚨🚨 Just got info from the Jamie Davis (Louisiana US Dem candidate) campaign that a poll taken from 9/17 to 9/19 shows he's within 4 points of US Rep. Julia Letlow (the R senate candidate) in the Louisiana US senate race. Of note, Letlow's name recognition is double that of Davis. (82% vs. 41%)

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

rangemedia.coMeasure to require "biological sex" verification for all WA girls’ sports athletes on November ballotIf passed, the hedgefund-millionaire-backed ballot measure would enact one of the nation’s strictest examination requirements for girls’ athletics.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

You can hear her head hit the floor. Utah deputies slammed data center protester Aspen Azalea to the ground after a public meeting. She says she suffered a concussion. A freaking concussion. After a public meeting. Protest tonight. Info in thread. More fascism that we need to get loud about.

If the lines are this long for early voting, imagine the madhouse they will create on Election Day. Vote early so you have plenty of time to resolve any issues with your voter registration and don't subject yourself to standing in hours-long lines and harassment and intimidation from ICE on 11/3!

This young woman voted in Abilene and the lines were long. It took about 45 minutes and the poll workers tried to say she wasn't registered. She made them check and check again, it turns out she was an active voter and they "didn't have it updated.”

Dolly Parton’s sister Stella says the voting machines kept changing her vote back to racist MAGA lunatic Marsha Blackburn’s name and had to correct it a few times. Not surprised since the only things fascist republicans do is cheat, lie, steal, crime and destroy. Triple check everything.

Great news! The Trump admin went to the Supreme Court looking for permission to forcibly detransition inmates who have been on hormones for decades, deliberately denying them medical care that their doctors prescribed. Thankfully, the Court refused to grant the request. Alito and Thomas would have.

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

This is about Ilhan Omar. But it's also about control, intimidation, & authoritarianism. The message is: we can do this to a member of Congress; no foreign-born American is safe. The administration is using fear as a tactic to discourage people from voicing opposition.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

So, a Trump supporter told me that, “nobody gives a sh*t” about Indigenous Peoples Day. Please, tell me, do you care about Indigenous Peoples Day?

Trump's fascist government is alive and well in the United States of America. We are allied with Russia and other authoritarian governments.
