THIS is one more nail in the free press coffin this administration has been constructing to bury the 1st Amendment and the very idea that a democracy requires debate and facts. It’s not a surprise but our outrage is required and out refusal to be silent, or sit home on Election Day is critical.

For those mourning the fallen on 9/11, we mourn with you and may we all know peace and safety. For those celebrating Eid Al Adha today, may your sacrifices be accepted and your blessings be abundant. For those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah Shanah Tova. May we all find peace in unity.

Gloria Steinem taught us that we are not given power. We just have to own the power we have and stop asking 4 permission. She taught me much and I owe her more. The fight for our rights has deepened and her legacy is a light in dark times. #RIP

We can’t expect an administration willing to harm children to care about grown men and women, like those serving on #USSLincoln. Cruelty, chaos and corruption seem to be all they’re capable of! Demand accountability!

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick. (Published February)

We won’t be silent. And we won’t stop fighting for #civilrights because when rights are gone, so is health care, so are books, so are loved ones who put themselves between abusers with badges and people who work and have children.

The Trump administration's abuse of power is no secret. Our president and CEO @maya4rights.bsky.social tells it like it is: "The intimidation is the point."

@maya4rights.bsky.social

So is this administration going to claim military families are criminals and that we are unsafe because we think families should together and not broken up by irrationally cruel people in power?

The Associated Press@apnews.com

President Donald Trump’s administration has detained more than 50 spouses and parents of U.S. troops as it rolls back immigration protections for military families, an AP investigation has found.

Laughable and not funny. Why should any person in this country feel comfortable with a “Payout to Punks Plan” as Senator Tillis called the weaponization fund AND blanket immunity from tax fraud for anyone & their entire family for no reason demanded by Justice? #BlockBlanche

Lisa Gilbert@lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social

Cornyn saying that Blanche is willing to give Trump hard advice is laughable. If we’ve learned one thing through this process it is Blanche’s utter willingness to do literally anything not to cross Trump and to deliver on his agenda of revenge. #blockblanche

@maya4rights.bsky.social

The Senate Judiciary Committee just shamefully endorsed this administration’s nomination to be an Attorney General who protects one man and not we the people.

Blanche now moves to the Senate floor. We @civilrightsorg will do everything in our power to fight it. civilrights.org/2026/08/04/t...

It's Friday evening in D.C. Trump's Pentagon still has 14 service members total dying in the War in Iran on its official page for casualties. It was changed from 18, erasing four service members. Yesterday, the Pentagon said it was a tech error. It still hasn't been fixed.
