The 2025 Fungi Industry as shared by @mycostories. Feedback on any of these? 🍄‍🟫🍄 (I have a few comments i will add later.)

🔥 AL GORE: “We already have way too many subservient cowards in Congress, the last thing we need is to send another one (Van Epps 🤖) — you can make tomorrow the turning point for our country by getting out and voting for Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social .” #TN7 Full: www.threads.com/@thetnholler...

Went to the Douglas Loop farmers market, and had the best time! There are so many nice vendors there. I bought oyster mushrooms, focaccia, cheeses, sauce, jam and lip balm. Got to talk in Italian too! #louisville #buylocal

Nothing to see here. Just the White House needing to reassure the public that Piggy doesn't want to murder members of Congress. 😩

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Statement from Rep. Crockett on Threat at D.C. Office

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Bernheim Forest hike was great after i had been under the weather. Fresh air and sunshine. #bernheimforest

We’re in Brazil — one of the world’s great democracies, one of our biggest trading partners — and not a single person from the Trump Administration showed up. That’s shameful.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

BERNIE: “This senate is about to make a horrific situation even worse… health insurance premiums will double/triple/quadruple… some will pay 50% of their income… 15 million will lose insurance… 50,000 will die unnecessarily…” #MedicareForAllNOW

The Senate Republicans are going to be forced to work with Senate Democrats to end the shut down after the results of tonight‘s elections. The Democrats cannot fold on ACA subsidies. This is amazing. Congratulations!

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

BREAKING: Prop 50 passes in California. Voters approved Newsom’s plan to oust GOP incumbents with a new congressional map that could give Dems up to five more seats in next year’s midterms, buoying their prospects of retaking the House. Read more: politi.co/43QRB8I

BASH: “You’re not gonna bring anything up on the house floor even if the senate finds some sort of compromise?” SPEAKER JOHNSON: “Yeah. Because they’re trying to play games and we’re not interested in doing that.” (He then makes it clear these are Trump’s orders) #AmericanDuma

Pritzker makes a direct appeal to Greg Bovino to not terrorize kids over the Halloween weekend

Breaking News: President Trump threatened on social media to resume nuclear weapons testing for the first time in 33 years.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

More on this please….

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care. He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans. Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry. But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks. Oligarchy in action.

complete batshit insanity

Found this skull part on my remote hike. iNaturalist community says it’s a raccoon. One said it was really old. Interesting. No other bones around it. #zooarchaeology

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

😕

"A 60-year-old couple earning $85,000 may have to pay $31,000 for a health insurance plan in Kentucky... $28,000 for a plan in Oregon... $44,000 for a plan in Vermont..." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

UPDATE — MEMPHIS: “Elected officials claim deployment of the National Guard violates the TN Constitution… Councilman JB Smiley Jr., Commissioners Erika Sugarmon & Brooks, Mayor Lee Harris, Reps. Hardaway & Salinas, Sen. Yarbro plaintiffs in the suit…” www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/l...

Appreciate @lpm.org being on here. I heard them mention @bsky.app on WFPL this evening. #supportnpr 🫶

Everyone sing along! 🎶Don’t cry for us, Argentina. We’re like Canada, only much meaner. And we gave up healthcare, For your peso to be finer, So you could steal our soybean exports. That went to China.🎶

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

For my Indiana friends. Be safe. 🇺🇸

“Arizona is considering suing for taxation without representation if you don’t seat Adelita Grijalva.” Speaker Johnson: *continues to cover for Pesophiles*

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Michigan Avenue right now.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.
