The US has more people in prison per head than any other country currently has or has ever had. Land of the free 🙄

If Republicans were truly concerned about toning down the rhetoric and having civil discourse in Congress, then they should stand together and go to the source first. That would be Trump, Vance, Stephen Miller, Don Jr and Bannon. I’m not saying Democrats are innocent, but it will only get worse if

I get a daily post from a friend of mine. This couldn’t be more on point currently

I just watched the video of Charlie Kirk’s greatest quotes and I thought about the formation of the KKK. They called themselves a Christian organization and still do today. Thousands joined because being Christian is good. Put a white hood on Kirk and you couldn’t tell the difference

I recommend everyone watches this

It saddens me to hear that Matthew Dowd was fired. I think most people would agree with what he said. He didn’t condone the shooting in any way. He merely stated the evolution of hate and the consequences that can come from it. Please reconsider @msnbc @maddow @morningjoe @lawrenceo’donnell

Well done , senator Cassidy. Well done

I’m sick of the lying lawyers who announce that they want to open an investigation just to smear the name or reputation of another needs to end. Maybe they need to be on the receiving end. I’d be happy to make an allegation about them based on little more than what I think

Today is National Dog Day! Extra hugs and treats would be much appreciated

Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

The only way out is through. The only way through is together.

Feds rolled up outside my NE DC home, harassed a random person sitting in a car, blasted their sirens, then pulled away. All within the span of two minutes. Let's be clear about what this is - they are seeking to intimidate as many people as possible as quickly as possible.

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth Leave it to the beavers. As they busily build dams, they're creating ponds that foster biodiversity, improve water quality and contain wildfires. Researchers are mapping beaver activity to learn how to best capitalize on their benefits. news.stanford.edu/stories/2025...

My daughter just sent me this. She was in traffic just now and the lighted sign said “Venice Blvd. will be closed on 8/19 for construction.” Then the lights started blinking… and switched to this...🤪

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Well this sure as hell isn’t incriminating! Nothing to see here.

ZERO Redeeming Qualities

“Descending on a person in public, laying hands on them, and taking them to a distant prison is a naked expression of state power. For it to be tolerated in a democracy, it cannot be done by shadowy, masked agents,” Brandon del Pozo argues:

Once again, they are sending their best and we elected our worst.

Disgusting.

@democracydefendersaction.org filed class action suit today to protect birthright citizenship, so ICE stays out of labor and delivery wards in our hospitals Art by @claybennett.bsky.social

Today's winner

Is this missing from Republican bibles?

Voice of America is important now more than ever. The building in Iran used for broadcasting was bombed by Israel. The Iranians need important news and credible news

This bill is not something Americans will just “get over.” But a message to anyone who votes for this — there’s a good chance people WILL get over YOU.

Read the whole list. What could go wrong? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

I’ve learned over the years never to crown something as the dumbest possible take on a subject until Burchett weighs in.

The 1st webinar covers where action is most urgent, how to get involved locally & nationally, and training & nonpartisan volunteer opportunities. Our co-sponsor is ChecksAndBalancesNow.org, which grew out of the @Americanbar.org Taskforce for American Democracy. Join us!

Hey Trump: this BELOW is leadership. Certainly NOT what you would understand.

This is Gigi. She peed in the shape of a perfect heart. Needs a new pee pad because this one is obviously getting framed. 13/10

The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”

Love it! Good job, do nothing Democrats. Glad Durbin didn’t write a strongly worded letter to Grassley. 😂🤣😂 Maybe some of my fellow Democrats are suffering from cognitive decline as well. It will be quickly forgotten or criticized because they didn’t push back hard enough
