I don't know how you look at everything Trump's been doing to mess with the election and think anything other than that he's trying to rig it. But whether he will succeed is a different matter, as Bob Kuttner reports. prospect.org/2026/07/28/t...

Hahaha. "Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them."

Is Patel going to Russia to learn how to undermine the midterms election even further? Probably, so! bsky.app/profile/msde...
There's a lot of speculation for why the head of the FBI would plan a visit to Russia, days before the November election. There isn't any logical reason for how this will benefit the American interests and it's highly suspicious to say the least!

Statement from @indivisible.org here: indivisible.org/news/indivis...
The horrifying video shows a straight-up execution of a Black man by police. It's a gutting demonstration of the continued, horrifying impunity with which police regularly treat Black life and none of us can accept this. wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/madis...
The truth will not be kept hostage by Republicans forever.
Opposition can be communicated in different forms, sometimes it's a sweet melody, with a strong message. Please, listen... #ImpeachIndictRemove

He should face imprisonment, alongside the other individuals involved in the murders. 😡🤬
I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:
6. Monetary fines levied against all administrators via CIVIL litigation. If laws won't allow for this, pass laws at all levels of government that would allow for this.
4. Televised hearings where all administrators must publicly testify. Any people who have professional licenses like lawyers etc... are stripped of their licenses. 5. Public memorials in every state that tell the story of what happened. Funding would come from the Federal government.
1. Fire all employees on week 1 of a Democratic administration. Everyone. No exceptions. 2. Start now to pull together state-based ICE People's Assemblies. Collect testimonies about impacts on your communities. Release reports by December 2028. 3. REPARATIONS for all ICE victims - $$ & citizenship
I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.
Very true. The structural advantage most old countries have is that their capitals are the most populated cities where people can run down from their flats, protest like hell, rotate, and keep it up for weeks or months. We need to be in D.C. and it needs to be sustained.
SO SOMEONE SAID WE NEED 100+ MILLION AMERICANS PROTESTING ON A SUSTAINED BASIS. THAT’S BECAUSE IN COUNTRIES WHERE PROTESTS ARE HAVING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ROUGHLY A THIRD OF THE COUNTRIES’ POPULATIONS ARE ENGAGED IN PROTESTING—WHICH IS AROUND 115 MILLION FOR US. NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.
Areas with election risk need local teams. If you live in these areas or know people who do, please set or request them to set their location at precinct-connect.us and join the area and precinct teams. We will prioritize providing guidance and resources for teams in these at risk areas.
Organize for an inclusive and accountable Democracy
Connect with people around you and work together on actions and campaigns in your local area or in areas that need help.

The Trump administration is attacking mail voting in 3 parts: ❌ limit who can vote by mail ❌ make it harder to cast a ballot ❌ spread lies about the security of mail ballots It's about controlling whose votes count in 2026. https://statesunited.org/resources/mail-voting-attacks/
The Trump Administration’s Three-Part Attack on Mail Voting
Mail voting is a popular and trusted method of casting a ballot. Here’s how the Trump administration is attacking mail voting, in three parts.

🔴 BRAVA ‼️ this intrepid woman, shut ice down ✊🏾🇺🇸✊🏻
18 U.S.C. § 592 This law makes it a crime for any person in the civil or military United States—to order, bring, or keep any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held. One narrow exception: when necessary “to repel armed enemies of the United States.”
Pettysburg Address, chefs kiss. They’re re-floating the idea of ICE at polling stations to ‘verify citizenship’ (read: intimidate voters). At this point, I wouldn’t put it past him to try some dumb shit like seizing ballots before they can be counted. I think he’s trying to spark violence.
The Trump regime is shooting people in the streets while talking about "radical left terrorism." Straight out of the playbook from 1930s Germany.
