It’s time for Mutual Aid groups. We have to get started. The last time we had these conversations, we were in the middle of COVID. Communities were struggling to keep going - economically, emotionally, physically. AOC did a lot of work in this space. I'm sharing resources she created. 🧵

And of course you follow this up with a note to ICEBlock.app

Father Michael Pfleger calls out Trump and says that the "state of emergency is in America"

WATCH: “if you want to help us, help us.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social on MSNBC calls out Donald Trump’s shameless military power play in Memphis, saying the right way to reduce crime is better gun safety laws and community investment.

The shutdown can be about more than one thing at the same time, right? It can be about avoiding release of the Epstein files AND a power grab AND defending their tax cuts for the wealthy AND undercutting the ACA plus ⤵️ But at this point, Dems funding "government as usual" is no longer an option.

Take action today. Get involved, united, and committed. Join the calls! #NoKings #Indivisible #TrumpShutdown #LasVegas What’s the Plan: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/... ILV Meeting: indivisiblelasvegas.org/event/octobe...

Next Gen Dems are breaking through in areas previously written off by national Democratic Party "leaders" and consultants ⤵️ It's gonna be a hell of a slog, but we *can* take the Congress in 2026. * Help register voters * Help get out the vote * Join a group fighting against voter suppression

Typically The Guardian does a great job with headlines, but this one is wrong. It IS illegal to use official government agency communications or resources to push partisan propaganda. Post-regime, The Hatch Act needs to be strengthened, including much harsher penalties.

They do not care if people have legal documentation. They do not care if people are U.S. citizens. ICE has daily quotas to meet. Please show this video directly to family, friends, and neighbors who might not yet know what's going on. Ask them to get involved in whatever way they can. ❌👑❌👑❌👑

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"... -Ensure our food is safe to eat -Keep our air and water clean -Alert us to natural disasters -Protect us from financial fraud and scammers Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

Birds of a Feather is an old saying for a reason 🐦

Do I think we are not at any risk of National Guard firing on people? No. I'm just old enough to remember Kent State. Do I think Hegseth's TED Talk Insult Fest increased the odds that military leadership will do what they can to prevent that? Yes. What we *can* control is our own actions. 🧵

Ideally, political labels indicate your values. I call myself a progressive. Not a liberal. I despise politicians who label themselves "moderate" - that's a con game, hiding what they truly stand for. We can let Ezra Klein and people like him label themselves. I'm against whatever that is.

Talarico: In the New Testament, Jesus spends most of his time healing the ill rather than preaching or praying. Currently, some Congress members, who claim to follow Christ, are removing healthcare from those in need.

RIP Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi journalist murdered 10/2/18 inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by agents of the Saudi government.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

This is L.A This is Chicago. This is being done in our names. In the supposed defense of our "safety." Please watch this video and then SHOW IT to your neighbors, friends, and families who don't yet understand. Ask them to join the resistance in whatever way they can. October 18 ❌👑❌👑

Happy Friday 😏

The cavalry has arrived in Portland, Oregon. Our war-ravaged city will not fall without a fight.

Keep Portland Weird Dammit!

This is the OREGON National Guard. They know where they're at. They know where the donuts are.

There is actually some truth in what he says: how you phrase a question will affect the response. But this one is very straightforward, my man.

Meanwhile in Iowa 🌽🌽🌽

Americans are standing on a health care cliff. More than 20 million Americans could see their premiums double. Doctors, nurses, rural Americans, patients, and families are speaking out. This isn’t political theater—and we will keep fighting this crisis.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. #FuckTrump #HesOnTheList #Resist

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement. In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

This is the OREGON National Guard. They know where they're at. They know where the donuts are.

Don't worry, America. We know the Regime still has its eye on us. We're ready. #PDX ❌👑❌👑❌👑

You think we're kidding about this? You think we won't go there? Oh, we will go there, my friend. We will go there. 🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴🚴‍♀️

Certain people are afraid of "leftists turning kids trans" with evil shows like Sesame Street. I assert that Pete Hegseth's Cosplay Warrior TED Talk may have turned more active military members and veterans against the GOP than anything I could have ever dreamed up in my radical leftist fantasies🍿

Saying this as if Republicans couldn't band together with Democrats in Congress to stop almost everything the Regime is doing. They are all: (A) Fully on board (B) Afraid of losing their jobs, access to billionaires (C) Afraid of the violent radicals they've created (D) Combination of the above

There is a reason Regime members like Miller, Hegseth, and Noem are obsessed with physical cruelty. Fascism is deeply connected to violent, authoritarian parenting. This is why MAGA rallies will often involve call outs to Trump as "Daddy." He is the authoritarian father who will restore order. 🧵

“There is something genuinely wrong with this man and the 25th amendment ought to be invoked.” Truth bomb from @govpritzker.illinois.gov 💣

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about violating the Hatch Act? TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is about letting the American people know what's going on. C: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.

We’ll take the people of Memphis over wannabe fascists & hate mongers like Stephen Miller seven days a week. Twice on Sunday. 🇺🇸 📸 via @indivisnashville.bsky.social

Apparently Stephen Miller has remembered it's easier to attack majority Black cities. But after L.A., D.C., Chicago, and Portland, could it be this is starting to wear thin with the American public - even those inclined to buy into the idea of "dangerous cities"? I think they've jumped the 🦈

🔥 @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social on the comedians taking the Saudi 💰 : “It’s embarrassing. We should bring back shame. When they get asked who their favorite comedian is they should stop saying George Carlin.”

These people never went away. It's that now, the Regime has given them full permission to be their KKK selves. Many of them feel free to do it on camera as well as off. My Fellow White People: if you are standing there when anything like this happens, it is on US to step up and push back. Us.

Anyone surprised by Stephen Miller's current behavior should revisit this ⤵️ He is running the White House in all meaningful ways. * Attacking U.S. cities * ICE daily quotas * Declaring a war on "enemies within" It's all Miller (with the happy agreement and support of Noem, Vought, etc).

🚨BREAKING: Texas Republicans are officially renouncing the rationale they used to justify their mid-decade redistricting effort, as they get ready to defend their new gerrymander in court. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

That Stephen Miller believes this makes him and the Regime look tough and powerful speaks to the sealed echo chamber they live in. They are cut off from anyone who doesn't drink the Kool-Aide they brew and drink themselves.🧋 They are much weaker than they look at first glance. ❌👑❌👑❌👑

That painfully cringe TED Talk is backfiring HUGHLY. The fact they broadcast it shows the power of the echo chamber they have all lived in for decades. Bravo, Rupert Murdoch. You created a sealed Tupperware communications chamber that is so effective, its own con men have lost touch with reality.

For decades we've been sold the idea that wealth is the only thing that matters. Time to say no. "Influential Americans are not just willing to put up with bad state actors, but are genuinely dismissive of the idea that you shouldn’t. It is virtue-signaling to care about dismemberment, or 9/11."
