Not THAT Karen

Can’t we even TRY to tell people that the FIRST AMENDMENT APPLIES TO GOVERNMENT, not private businesses.

I hate that this is in my hometown. 💔😢🙏

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

As Palestinians attempt to harvest their olives in the occupied West Bank, reports of violent settler attacks are escalating. MeidasTouch's Suri Crowe just returned from the ground—and what she witnessed deserves attention. Watch the first in her exclusive reporting series.

This is the worst scandal they can gin up on Mamdani? What police training is in the gym at 11 pm? Reporters can’t do stories on the real corruption by Trump and company but they spend time on this BS.

Trump and Republicans are restarting their voter fraud misinformation machine ahead of the midterms. When I checked, Republican candidates were implicated in voter fraud at up to 38,000x the public’s rate. If they were actually worried about voter fraud, they’d start with their own candidates.

Definitely deserves to be shred anew. Pete Hegseth’s mother knows him well. Not like Amy Acton’s, who probably should have gone to jail.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

This afternoon, we toured the infrastructure of occupation in the West Bank: Settler outposts that uproot groves full of olive trees & steal Palestinian land. Gates arbitrarily closed by Israeli forces, forcing Palestinian villages to transfer construction supplies and bulk goods by hand.

The Vivek ad is what happens when an amoral outsider must prove to a political movement centered on protecting abusers that he’s on their team:

The public, through its elected officials, has the right to evaluate whether individuals meet the qualifications and ethical standards for government positions. Jared Kushner and the Trump admin have denied us that right. That's unacceptable and illegal.

After 13 months in ICE detention, Rev. Edward Nalwamba was so weak he had to be carried out when he was finally released. A federal judge found ICE didn’t even have a concrete plan to deport him. Thirteen months of his life. Despicable. #SheShed

When I pay taxes I get less too. Way less right now compared to billionaires. Such disingenuous, convoluted arguments for greed.

What kind of diplomat calls Putin a “humanitarian” while Russian forces kill Ukrainian children and abduct others? Britain rejects Witkoff’s praise. Such words disgrace American diplomacy and betray Ukraine’s victims. #Ukraine #Putin www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Former Deputy PM Freeland: "10 years from now when we look back at on this week we are going to say that President Trump's betrayal of Ukraine is the most important thing that happened." "The President of the United States is siding with Vladimir Putin..." "We have to be clear."

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Forbes has been tracking Trump's wealth since the early 80s. They described Trump's first year back in office as "the most lucrative year of [Trump's] life." And it's not even close. Trump is earning hundreds of millions more than he ever has.

This is an excellent press question. Whistleblowers are long able to bring a qui tam lawsuit which DOJ can join & get 15-30% of any settlement under the False Claims Act (which is used often to address health care fraud including in Medicare & Medicaid) compared to only 1% under this capped $ fund.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

TRUTH 👇.......

Such disgusting, evil liars. Especially Steven Miller, Vance and 🤮.

Had to look that one up. Oof. "A 5150 refers to Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, which allows a qualified mental health professional, doctor, or peace officer to involuntarily detain a person for a 72-hour psychiatric hold."

Trump told us why he is capitulating to Russia (besides the bribes): Because Putin told him he could do far worse in Iran than already helping to kill Americans. And Trump's RESPONSE to that was to simply capitulate. emptywheel.net/2026/10/20/t...

Woah. It appears that the anti-abortion “Ethics and Public Policy Center”—whose board includes Catholic Right SCOTUS “puppet master” Leonard Leo—is spearheading the push to strip the American Bar Association of its accreditation authority. 1/

On Fox 🤷🏼 ⛽️

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

The bigotry is only surpassed by the stupidity.

What Say You,Traitor Trump......? (CNN,ABC)

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

America is *now* an ally of Russia? I'd argue it started in 2016 when the Trump campaign and the RNC softened the language on providing lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine as part of the Manafort/Kremlin/Yanukovich "peace plan" to cede Ukrainian territory to Putin. But okay. We can go with "now".

I absolutely love this.

In competitive authoritarian countries, regime allies limit and control mainstream media visibility to opposition figures and media. We're not there yet, but this is what it looks like.

This was a choice. Remember this.

ICYMI, Marc Andreessen is a close ally of Peter Thiel & Elon Musk & sits on the board of Meta. He helped fund Musk’s Twitter takeover too. 1/ share.google/1PSzWVvf08fL...

Nice how the billionaires work together isn’t it?

Meta/Insta are part of regime.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

“They made you pay more for everything and took us to war on lies, trying to cover up for world’s most famous pedophile while the crook president* and his crook family raked in billions while your tax dollars were put to work backing Trump’s businesses… What an absolute crook.” Ossoff #CrookedTrump
