Here for the resistance, but maybe also some fun parenting stuff to make me smile as well??

If you’re planning to protest tomorrow:

1. Thank you! Make it big. Stay peaceful.

2. Be careful. There will be people trying to agitate and stir shit up.

3. Take a buddy if you can. If not, video is your friend.

4. Have a plan to get the fuck out if it goes sideways.

The former, easily.

The GOP has been continually hyping themselves up to pretend like they’re going to push back against all the illegal shit Trump is doing.

They obviously aren’t going to do that with Trump, but they will with Vance - they aren’t afraid of him, and he has no real base.

We’re headed for the first shutdown since the last time Trump was in office.

The framing of trying to give Medicaid to illegals is absolute nonsense.

The average family of four is paying up to *$1500* a month on the insurance marketplace.

Dems wanted to help. GOP refused.

This is a good way to frame it, on a night when most are framing it the wrong way:
Trump, who last year vowed to exact "retribution" against perceived enemies, gets what he demanded, an indictment of Comey, even though federal prosecutors concluded there was no case. Devlin Barrett @glennthrush.bsky.social @alanfeuer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

The President sounds like this all the time these days and is clearly non compos mentis but it just gets a pass from Congress, from the courts, from the media, from Wall Street, from every institution, because it's Trump.
Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."
Bought a rug off eBay that apparently came from from India. Just got a 10 page invoice from FedEx with my customs duty from the Department of Homeland Security ($195.60) and FedEx's disbursement fee ($14.00). What's that about other countries paying the tariffs?

McGowan: He seems to be getting rid of statisticians and climate people and weather experts and scientists and anyone who doesn't agree with what he wants to tell or what he wants to say.

Haiti is overrun by violent gangs. Ripping legal status from 500,000 Haitians and forcing them back will be deadly.

TPS holders work hard and have no criminal record—nobody is better off from this cruelty. I will fight to protect our Haitian community from harm.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years.

Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.
A chilling reminder that American science denial does not just affect people in the US, it kills people globally.

She's either lying or grossly unaware of what people are doing in her name and either one is unacceptable.
JUST IN: At Senate appropriations hearing, AG Pam Bondi says she was previously unaware that law enforcement are covering their faces during immigration enforcement. Sen. Gary Peters says people might resist unidentified individuals putting them in a van.

Iran should never—ever—be allowed to build nukes. Crush every attempt. Period. But having an administration that lies... bulldozes the Constitution...and silences accountability? That’s also a danger to us. Stopping one threat doesn’t justify creating another. #NuclearWeapons #Accountability

It's a weird thing to root for America but against its president.

That's what happens when you elect a traitor.

This is a sign of serious mental illness. No sane person would post this. It’s not Alzheimer’s. It’s manic, impulsive, egotistical, cruel, and shows a lack of empathy and insight to a degree that it would be labeled “disordered”
Trump posted a “Bomb Iran” music video with these lyrics:

“Went to a mosque. Gonna throw some rocks.”

“Time to turn Iran into a parking lot.”

As a deeply entrenched Boomer, I am totally on board with this sentiment. If you also are in your early 70’s and still in think you are in your prime, you are deluding yourself. Offer your wisdom (that long view of history) as you mentor coming generations and relinquish the power!
Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

Obama ended Iran's nuclear program WITHOUT DROPPING A SINGLE BOMB. That's real leadership.
