One of my favorite things about monitoring actions throughout the day is seeing the international solidarity start trickling in early 💙💙💙

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger Star Wars fan than me - but I can do without while Disney is actively capitulating to this unprecedented assault on free speech. Fuck you, Bob.

We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.

25 of the businesses said yes! It was great to talk to folks about what to do in the event of an ICE raid and give them a hotline to call if needed. It feels good to do something and talk to people.

Went to a show at the sphere yesterday and it’s clear to me that we must build one in every American city, and in DC use it as the new capitol building

Just unabashed fascism. Awful implications for the residents of D.C. and for the prospect of first amendment activity in our capital.

We spend lots of time parsing through all the preexisting trends that made the rise of an American fascism possible, and that's all true enough, but it's still a huge contingent factor that Donald Trump is a literal freak of nature, a sui generis pathological bundle of min-maxed personality traits.

rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · Aug 25

it's just incredible the extent to which donald trump lacks literally any virtue

Starfish Who Can’t Think Something Witty @irhottakes.bsky.social · Aug 25

Something notable here which absolutely nobody will learn from is that Donald has no gratitude whatsoever for Christie suicide bombing Rubio for him in the 2016 primary and probably does not remember Chris doing so at all.

the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech

Jeffries on Trump planning a military crackdown in Chicago: "We should continue to support local law enforcement and not simply allow Donald Trump to play games with the lives of the American people as part of his effort to manufacture a crisis and create a distraction because he's deeply unpopular"

Asked about Trump's deployment of military and other federal authorities to DC, Hakeem Jeffries touts the "strong letter" issued by the DC Attorney General.

"I thought that was a strongly worded letter," Jeffries also said.

Alex Acosta is the most under-reported part of the whole Epstein saga (because he's the part that makes Trump look guiltiest)

amanda moore 🐢 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social · Aug 5

"[Acosta] had 'been told' to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. 'I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,' he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer."

www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epst...

Prosecutor who negotiated Epstein's sweetheart deal left off subpoena list

The deal, which Acosta negotiated without consulting Epstein's victims, also shielded his alleged co-conspirators.
