First Twitter. Then Threads. Now Bluesky.
Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.
Odd thing to say after DSA Stuff led to an almost 4x increase in under 35 turnout. Imagine if the establishment line was, “yes our party really needed new energy and ideas and change, we don’t always agree but this is good, welcome” rather than this idiotic and actively damaging nonsense.

Trump Friend Asked ICE to Detain the Mother of His Child Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent and a longtime Trump ally, was in a custody battle over his son. An ICE official agreed to help. Full Story: nyti.ms/4bDpop4
Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"
JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.
Tomorrow we are joined by the co-author of Virginia Giuffre's book and her family. In a powerful interview we hear the voices who helped share her tragic story at the hands of Epstein and Maxwell. Catch it on YouTube tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLincolnProject
They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
Ryan Grim@ryangrim.bsky.social · last yr.After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects Russ Vought would love nothing more than to tear this country down to its studs
Tom Nichols, Jon Stewart, etc in 2024: "it's too early to call them fascists" Trump regime in 2025: "it is now illegal terrorism to call us fascists" Funny how the time window on that worked
"Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down." @carolleonnig.bsky.social and @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social report for MSNBC: www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...
Light the fuse, then cry about the explosion. Classic MAGA.
This is CNN, a channel I really enjoy when I'm in the US. I wonder if American journalists are aware of how completely insane they look to the rest of the world. How utterly detached their narrative is from everyone else's. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/19/p...
It’s basically the OPPOSITE of intellectual curiosity. And they’re clueless enough to be proud of that.

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.
🚨Republicans say they’re targeting just criminals and gang members. Bullsh*t. 📌They’re targeting anyone who “looks illegal,” and it’s only going to get worse. 📌They need to make their 3,000 a day quota no matter what. NO ONE IS SAFE IN AMERICA—we have to protect one another. #MAGAKidnappers
DESPICABLE: Trump erased Medgar Evers — a war veteran, a civil rights icon — from Arlington’s website honoring Black soldiers. And now the Pentagon might scrub his name from a Navy ship. This isn’t “preparedness”—this is historical whitewashing. The coward’s way to erase Black resistance.

I don’t think it’s a particularly American tradition to give the benefit of the doubt to military leaders articulating the rules of engagement for their deployment on civilian streets in peacetime.
With the BET Awards happening in downtown LA, I was wondering who was going to say something first. Doechii really is that girl.
THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)
Adjusted for era, these are surely the most powerful morons in world history
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me
