Listen to our Welcome Message 👇 1/5 🧵
Hegseth is a war criminal. THIS is why he fired the JAGs. He intended to use the military illegally and to murder at his discretion. THIS is the “lethality” he bragged about.

The Republican Party continues to create, collect, and protect war criminals without accountability. Party’s OVER! 😡
Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

I switched to Lowe's years ago and have NEVER gone back to Home Depot... and NEVER will. I've lowered my #ConsumerFootprint significantly, but the money I do spend goes to local businesses and those that actually care about customers.

Genuine & consistent customer respect is profitable.
🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI.

"Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements"

Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

We've been boycotting these businesses for over a year. So, doing so for Black Friday is no problem. It's all part of lowering our #ConsumerFootprint as a means of resistance. #WeAintBuyingIt and hopefully, neither are YOU. ✊
It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

The whole purpose of her line of questioning is to produce a sound bite they can use for views and clicks. She’s practically telling him the exact words she wants him to say. But Mamdani doesn’t bite.

This is why I ditched corporate media a year ago. Never going back!
Welker: Do you think that Trump is a fascist?

Mamdani: That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today.

Welker: You’ve called him a despot. Do you still believe Trump is a threat to the democracy?

Mamdani: Everything that I’ve said in the past, I continue to believe.

No surprise here… right-wing media is a grift. Duh! That great “political realignment” pundits boasted about after the 2024 election was all manufactured.

It will be my absolute pleasure. Done and DONE! ✊🏼🤨
😠 Are you sick of corporations enabling this administration by ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chasing tax breaks?

WTF did I just watch? Trump and Mamdani are BFFs now??? I don't know what Mamdani did or said to make this ❤️ happen but I'm not gonna jinx it. 😳

Listen and understand the very real threat this represents. Republicans have no other option than to END American democracy in order to survive politically.

They only have one shot and will be at their MOST DANGEROUS in the years ahead.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This isn't an exaggeration. This is real, folks. THIS is America under Republican rule. 😡
The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

I'm glad he's so "shook" but still don't trust him. The Epstein files are the holy grail of corruption and they know it. Republicans aren't playing by the rules (or laws) and know it's GAME OVER if the legit files are released. They're gonna fight and we should be (non-violently) ready.
holy shit mike johnson is SHOOK on Epstein vote in Senate

So, just so everyone understands: the Epstein Files Transparency Act that's being voted on today allows for NO redaction of the names of people mentioned in the files, other than victims.

That's what he's mad about. He wants perps and associates of Epstein to be protected.
Mike Johnson expresses concern that requiring the Epstein files to come out "could ruin the reputations of completely innocent people, such as those who may just have known Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes or whose names he exploited and used to try to get close to his intended victims."
November 18, 2025 at 3:55 PM
This is a powerful PSA. They are only a few of a thousand victims. Remember, although only Epstein is named, there are many MANY more billionaires, CEOs, politicians, and powerful figures who also victimized these women. They must ALL be EXPOSED for justice to be served. 😡
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
November 17, 2025 at 1:20 AM
What we are witnessing is a CONSPIRACY by the Republican Party to protect a child rapist and a child sex trafficking network. This is the holy grail of corruption and they will protect it at ALL COSTS. The ONLY way forward is to EXPOSE the conspiracy! 😡
@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him.

Glad I checked. I had a dormant Spotify account I started years back and forgot about (I don't use the service). It is now DELETED! ✊
HEY LA: Join the protest at Spotify HQ in the LA Arts District at 12p PT.

Spotify is doubling down on its decision to help recruit for ICE, so we're turning up the volume on our Cancel Spotify campaign until they stop running ICE ads: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

It's time to expose the Republican coverup and treason once and for all. 😡
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

We all know the answer.
As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

She did not respond.

If you always do what you’ve always done, then you’ll always be where you’ve always been.

Time for a f’ing change! 😊
For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Saw Predator Badlands yesterday and it was AMAZING!!! If you've been let down by the many franchise reboots in recent years... WATCH THIS movie! It's no reboot, it's an evolution!

Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election ... it would be impossible to lose an election."

Every single person who voted for Trump has blood on their hands. They are complicit in the mass murder of children. EVERY SINGLE ONE!!! 😡
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
