Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Dear House Speaker:

Now that @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social ‘s win is officially certified, what keeps you from swearing her in?

(Did I hear the E-word? )

Haley Robson, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse — and a Trump voter — asked Speaker Johnson if he’s keeping the House out of session to delay Rep. Thomas Massie & my bill to release the files. She hasn’t gotten a response.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about justice for survivors.

Squeaker Mike ("Trump's little") Johnson is definitely against "antifa" and says protesters hate America. Well, Mikey, this question is for YOU. 😉

The things Republican men say. Per Politico: They referred to Black people as monkeys & “the watermelon people” & mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies & driving them to suicide & lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Stephen Miller admitted that they are running the country as if Trump has PLENARY power. That means absolute power.

Aside from the creepy propaganda thing, seriously, she doesn't even look human here. Is it plastic surgery with filters on top? Uncanny valley to the max.

"Cosplay Karen" Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress ＆ they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.
