The White House is weaponizing a shutdown to hollow out federal agencies gutting services Americans rely on. This crisis is due to Trump’s refusal to negotiate. With the funding deadline days away, Americans will pay the price. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Kimmel is very inconsequential. But what’s important is that the majority is not who the media makes you think it is. If the majority is apathetic, fascism happens. If the majority is engaged, democracy happens. Simple as that. Time to get louder.

🚨 This scene comes to us from Iowa. The man recording this atrocious attack on an innocent man makes it clear that he is a combat veteran, and explains that he is going to video their crimes and he is not to be touched: “I will knock you the fuck out.” 1/2

If your local station is Sinclair (ours is), watch the station for 5-30 minutes (depending on how much you want to rattle some cages). Make a list of every local advertiser, call them and tell them you won’t be using their services and why.

Great insight from @katie-drummond.bsky.social and WIRED. These Tech leaders are just as greedy as the Robber Barons of the late 1800s and they're buying influence. Tim Apple's gift to TACO is a disgusting prime example. And they've gone all in on propping up the GOP to get it.

CEO Brian Niccol's 2024 pay to the median barista's pay was 6,666-to-1. He is killing the unionized locations because he wants more money. Restructuring means he and the shareholders want more money and to squash unions. Maybe lower his pay to make up for any "losses".

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

Are we actually giving Argentina a $ 200 billion bailout to help their MAGA suck up leader? Does Congress exist at all?

This is exactly the kind of message Dems need to plaster the airwaves and social media with. This will get people's attention. Get ahead of GOP spin on this

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Your daily reminder that Antifa isn’t a terrorist organization but is an abbreviation for anti fascist. Meaning Antifa is good and fascism is bad. The more you know!

JUST IN: A federal judge in Vermont has ordered the release of a woman in the US illegally who has applied for a visa as a survivor of human trafficking. She was arrested by ICE on her way to a mandatory "biometrics" appointment as part of that process. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Before you ask Google, or Siri, or Alexa, take a moment to think about the data farms that are destroying towns, generating heat, and using all the water. Is it really worth all that to just ask how to make sloppy joes?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Outrageous.

Jesse Watters of Fox wants to bomb the UN? Still think Fox is ok? Remove Fox. Contact your cable company to remove Fox from their channels. I can’t imagine who even watches it 🤮

We are already starting to see how bad policies coming out of Washington are cutting jobs in our growing clean energy sector. I’ll continue to do whatever I can to protect clean energy jobs and keep North Carolina the #1 state for business. www.citizen-times.com/story/news/2...

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

*taps sign*

If Comey is charged, keep this mind. 👇 Seems like charging Comey is more about retribution than justice.

Not a Comey fan, but this is Banana Republic bullshit. Still, I wonder if Comey FINALLY regrets that letter that killed it for Hillary.

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

🔥 @adammockler.com : “Every time one of these tragic shootings happens everybody’s at each other’s throats about which side did it but we’re missing a broader pattern in 🇺🇸— this was another white young white dude in his 20’s… an acceleration of radicalization of young men…”

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

The next big financial crisis may be brewing. Warning signs are already there | Larry Elliott

that’s probably fine.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

“According to Strength in Numbers, the Disney boycott quickly became four times as large as any boycott over the last five years. Disney's stock dipped about 3.5 percent and continued to trade lower in subsequent days — a loss in market value amounting to some $4 billion.” @rbreich.bsky.social

And by the way, I resent how often Katy Tur is suggesting that defending the trans community is costing Democrats. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is for everyone. Get on board or find another party.

Our parents and teachers never told us what we were supposed to do if we pointed out that the emperor has no clothes on and we’re labeled “extremists” for stating the obvious.

It really is remarkable however, every time something happens, the right manages to immediately sees the narrative. And they’re all on the same page. Meanwhile, the left flounders, trying to strike the right cord, trying not to sound too mean. It’s ridiculous.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

A couple weeks ago, these blowdried chucklefucks were "joking" about how they should reclaim the word Nazi and now they're "joking" about blowing up the UN or gassing the foreign leaders inside. But they didn't say anything questionable about Charlie Kirk, so no big deal.

Science doesn’t care about your gut beliefs or if you own a company that sells supplements. Science is a powerful tool 'cuz it requires peer-reviewed, double-blind testing & statistical validity. Otherwise, it’s easy to be fooled with wishful thinking, a recipe for disaster.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Seems like if several ubiquitous health care interventions cause autism, we should really be studying those freaks who ended up neurotypical.

Pritzker: "This is a person who thinks that his personal will should be imposed on the United States. That's not how it works."

Excited to share the news that the PAPERBACK of The Freaks Came Out To Write is coming out on November 4th. I love this color: Pre-order! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/trici...

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos. Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel. That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

This is why the legacy media is dead.

Health care costs for working families will skyrocket if Congress fails to extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits. Without them, health care premiums will go up by as much as 75%. Tell Congress to stop rising health care costs! act.afscme.org/forms/tell-c...

America won’t collapse from invasion. I’ve been saying it for years. It’ll collapse from the inside. Under the weight of corrupt greed, racism disguised as patriotism, and the refusal to evolve by holding on to privilege and power instead of prioritising equality and liberty.
