The death penalty is a travesty and a standout even in a country filled with wanton cruelty.

Those $376 Million Obama renovations people like Jesse Watters are using to defend Trump? One problem — They were approved by Congress after a BUSH administration report said they were necessary: www.snopes.com/news/2025/10...

On one day's notice, thousands of New Yorkers marched in NYC today for immigrants and against ICE. More photos soon!

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise? Yeah.

When the guy says "you only take orders from a pedophile rapist piece of shit" you can see the words hit.

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

Why do Republicans hate democracy so much?

Saw this posted by a friend on FedBook. [more examples of how we can help and support each other]

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas. There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings. There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency. There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

Good. Pretending we have a federal government at all anymore seems crazy to me. It only exists as a purse for Trump to do as he pleases and hurt whom he pleases. The federal government is just tax money. That's all it is. And you get none of it.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I did a supercut haha bsky.app/profile/muel...

Greetings! I’m here in South LA, in front of Santee High School. Federal law enforcement rammed a vehicle, and shot at least one suspect during a law enforcement operation. One man who streams on Tik Tok, Nick, was reportedly hit. One US marshal hit. Lots of preliminary info.

Let's try to get our first 100 in the next hour!

IQ47 is demanding the DoJ pay him $230M in compensation for his legal expenses from the federal investigations into him. IOW, a career criminal, fraud, tax evader, 34 count felon & adjudicated rapist wants his legal expenses back. BTW- he still hasn’t paid cities for the rallies he held yrs ago.

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire?? Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

This is a long way of saying the Trump admin more than likely conducted an illegal operation based on bad intel and murdered innocent people.

"At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?” bsky.app/profile/john...

If you get a chance to speak to media today please make sure to bring up Indigenous activists of Portland Oregon abused by Geo Group inside ICE cells in PDX. We need an investigation. We need the torture covered and acknowledged. No one deserves torture. I mean the legal definition of torture.

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

Chicago No Kings

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social sounds the alarm about the Republican attack on the voting rights act

Great question!

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress. Everything else is noise and bluster. This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

The first phase of Donald Trump’s Gaza plan has moved ahead. Can Palestinians transform the ruins of a political order into the foundation of another that belongs to them? https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/usoDJB

😕🇺🇸

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB. But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers. So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

This UVA rally — which is sponsored by student, faculty, & staff groups — will protest the Trump regime's efforts to take over American universities & demand that UVA not cooperate, as it did this summer. Friday, noon, at the Rotunda. C-ville community members are encouraged to attend.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts. Six people are being deported because of what they said online. Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended. It won’t stop with these six people. Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

This 👇🏼 Millionaires Nigel Farage and Richard Tice are not your friends. They are getting richer off your backs.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

The naïveté of Democrats (and supposed moderates) about this is a big reason why we find ourselves in the situation we do in America. Fox is in no way shape or form a news network and anyone who pretends that it is is simply lying to themselves and denying decades of evidence.

The Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition is connected to a network of rapid response organizations across the state who have trained people on how to verify the veracity of reported ICE activity, support people who are being detained, connect with legal support, and provide legal observation.

I love how Republicans are saying NO KINGS is anti-American and anti-fascism is fighting against American interests and Democrats are like "what's up with healthcare premiums and groceries" as if freedom from a monarchy isn't considered a kitchen table issue

A glimmer of good news. Collective. Action.

Nation’s Indigenous People Confirm They Don’t Need Special Holiday, Just Large Swaths Of Land Returned Immediately https://theonion.com/nation-s-indigenous-people-confirm-they-don-t-need-spec-1839033177/

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

A couple of parking signs for anyone who wants to print them out for this coming Saturday.
