Russia, Russia, Russia, seems to be the cheer for the U.S. administration nowadays. I remember when it was a derogatory phrase re: Muller's investigation. Stand with Ukraine!!! Few, if any, there want a replay of Stalin's Holodomor, which inspired Orwell's Animal Farm. www.cfr.org/articles/tru...

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

A devastating article, and that the U.S. president and his V.P. are defending this tone-deaf, vile ad, speaks volumes. Even Ramaswamy's G.O.P. primary opponent is now going to vote for Acton. I thought it couldn't get more nuts than when the CO G.O.P. chose the son of Karl Marx to top their ticket.

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

A good summary here of how much Meta is in the tank for Trump. And a reminder that the authoritarian threat comes not just from within the Trump administration but from its oligarchic allies. Oligarchic power is now a clear and present threat to our democracy. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

NEWSFLASH: the president CAN’T give himself a pardon The fact that he even is talking about it is an insult to our constitution & voters know it More on Trump, the midterms, and the staggering corruption on @MS.Now 👇

Everyone in the Republican Party is pointing fingers at each other for the GOP’s impending midterm disaster, except in the direction of the main culprit. Nobody is looking at the leader of the party, or at themselves. (link in comments below)

We live here. This is OUR country. Not his. VOTE!!!! Take it to a dropbox if they have them where you live. We did that in AZ in 2020 and perhaps you recall how that turned out.

Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social

Voters have the power & Trump admin is AFRAID of you That's why they brought their B.S. lawsuit about noncitizen voter registration last week--& that's why they arrested a tiny handful of folks in CA today Don't be deterred by these pre-election stunts. VOTE EARLY! We at DDF r fighting back👇

What fools!!!! Albania's majority religion is Islam... It's not the Saudis. See Dr. Oz if you're American. We need separation of church and state. Our founders understood that. Too bad a whole major political party doesn't get that these days. I hate to see Lincoln's party assassinated, too.

Every time Trump starts criticizing and blaming Ukraine and demanding they surrender territory, he should be immediately asked what concessions he's demanded of Russia. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And it's an abject failure of the press that this is not happening, and I'm furious about it.

Also looking forward to Mountain Standard Time. Gabe Evans, his buddy Elon, and Trump want to turn the clock back to the late 1900s (the time of the Robber Barons)… Moo!

Del Johnson@deldem.bsky.social

I'm looking forward to turning the clocks back to Standard Time at the end of the month. I know it's a little thing, but Gabe Evans voted to give the guy from Florida what he wants and end that. He always votes with Trump. Vote for Manny Rutinel to represent the people who live here in CO CD-8.

Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against Meta. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

The flags of NATO and Ukraine on streets of San Francisco. A portent. Ukraine will triumph. And "We, the People" will triumph here. The Western Alliance will be made whole again. #NoKings #SlavaUkraine

Protesters in Ocean Beach, San Fransisco made a human banner on No Kings Day today to encourage people to vote early for the most consequential midterm elections in US history. Beautiful.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

Del Johnson reposted

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

BlueSky has been under some kind of attack today, with hundreds of good, active accounts suspended. Now see the post below. It's no coincidence. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

“Important update: Today at approximately 1:30 PM Eastern time the main accounts for the No Kings coalition (@nokingscoalition) on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. The admins have lost access to the account. We are unable to login. This happened at the peak of our national day of action.”

The Russian terror on Ukraine keeps expanding. More and more cities are under Russian attacks, more and more civilians are injured, killed, traumatized. Sumy: a Russian drone hit a shopping mall, injuring three people. Rivne: a shopping mall attacked. 📹: Rivne

I can confirm that my Blue26.org Dem fundraising project has seen a noticeable increase in $90 & $500 donations to various candidates the past few days. In some cases the donors are specifically telling me that they’re donating their Trump Bribes to Democrats. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/10...
