Friends - I watched this dozens of times. And each time with tears in my eyes, I am reminded what we became and what we were. I am Alex Pretti!

I implore you to keep them alive in our collective consciousness and memory. Give them their voices, show their faces. The lives of Alex Pretti and Renee Good were ripped away by ICE monsters. Don't let this fade into the background! Please share! #StopTheMadness #StopTrump #StopICE #resist 👊🏼

It CAN be done!

Wowza. Miami just elected its first Democratic mayor in three decades. “Higgins won the runoff election by securing 59% of the votes, defeating her Republican competitor Emilio Gonzalez, who was endorsed by…Trump & got nearly 41%,”per official results. 12/10/25 …1/ www.bbc.com/news/article...

@katyturreport.bsky.social I did not vote for Blakeman for county executive. He’s a trump man and he ran a smear campaign. His ICE operation spawned a lawsuit from the NY Civil Liberties Union alleging law violations and potential racial profiling. He won’t get my vote for gov. No way.

Oh dear God. Dory is more focused! 🤣🤣 Someone get the net already.

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

Please, if this is not the type of country you want to live in, do something about it! The next nationwide protest is a month from today, Oct 18th. The closer we get to the 18th the more local protest will be organized. Please spread the word. Plz share and repost. www.nokings.org

If you know California voters, tell them that if Trump rigs the next election and Republicans keep Congress, they will most certainly not certify the election in 2028 if they don't like the result. No one is saying gerrymandering is good, but unilaterally disarming could be the end of our democracy.

These are being circulated in LA and possibly around the state. Obv a RW op and recognized as such by many at this point but we have work to do. Just for your awareness, esp if you plan to help to pass the CA ballot measure.

Hi. I’m the executive director of the organization that had the honor of hosting the FEMA Katrina Declaration and I can confirm this is a lie. NICE TRY, KRISTI! @standupforscience.bsky.social @atrupar.com

O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"

So true.

Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states

Brett Meiselas: When people speak about the Epstein case as a cover-up in the past...the cover-up is happening right now. The biggest part of the whole scandal may be happening before our eyes right now—what Donald Trump is saying every day, what Trump and his team are doing every day.

Convicted predators who rape and abuse children shouldn’t qualify for pardon consideration. A president who can’t immediately say “absolutely not” when I asked if he’s considering such a pardon should be hounded out of office.

#WealthTax. They’ll never miss it, and they’ll make it back in a flash. Billionaires tax cuts are a joke, too. They can easily pay AND create jobs, etc. Epstein clients deserve shame and jail time.

Anonymous@opsnowcrash.bsky.social

THEY spent millions to elect a felon—TO ROB YOU. Their BILLIONS shield Epstein’s monsters. DEMAND: 1. RELEASE #EpsteinClientList 2. END billionaire tax cuts 3. ENACT #WealthTax ➡️ TAG 3 ➡️ REPOST & JOIN the fight Silence feeds THEM. #Epstein #Trump #Oligarchy

Afriforum, an Afrikaner activist group, traveled to the US in 2018 to persuade officials that White South African (SA) farmers were being murdered due to their race. Afriforum has since cavorted w/ MAGA influencers & NatCon. But even Afriforum has admitted “THERE IS NO WHITE GENOCIDE” in SA. 1/

Since 2005, we've fought for the WTC Health Program. In 2019, we thought the battle was won. Now, we're back in D.C. facing staffing cuts, underfunding, and broken promises. 9/11 heroes showed up, why won't our government? #neverforget #911health #DOGE @johnfeal9117.bsky.social

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

(WSJ: free) In case you have taken your eye off this, as I did, the same old sh_t is going on with Trump and his family, investing, building, crypto, being bought for cash, and giving political favors. They will never change until in JAIL. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

wsj.comTrump’s Family Is Rapidly Striking Business Deals in the MideastGolf resorts, crypto deals and financial investments blur the line between private business and public policy.

So much here.

I asked if I could take his picture. Yes. I stepped across a band of shit. The pigeons began to frighten. Too close. A cloud of gray & blue & pink rushed at me. He looked up. Bare of birds. He said nothing. I stepped back. The birds returned. Together they ate. He said “Now,” & I took my picture.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"
