Incredible that the two things he works hardest on is starving children and blocking the Epstein files

I need to emphasize what I say down-thread: this is a temporary, procedural move known as an administrative stay issued in haste by Justice Jackson. Little to nothing should be read into this ruling for how SCOTUS might ultimately rule on SNAP—either way.

1/ Seattle! 2000 ballots need signatures (updates or didn't sign)!! Tell your friends to check their ballot status here: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... And if you have time between now & Nov. 14, volunteer to help cure votes: linktr.ee/Wilsonforsea... ("Ballot Chasing for Katie Wilson")

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

new: at least 26 unhoused chicagoans have been abducted since the start of "operation midway blitz." the full scope of people disappeared is likely much larger but is obscured by heavy criminalization, social stigma, and fewer eyes and phones around to bear witness. via @katieprout.bsky.social

This might be one of the most monumentally insane things a government has done

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Do not talk to Amy Harmon or the new york times

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Gracie, a 23-year-old student and parent in Maryland, stressed that many peers are dealing with not being able to feed themselves or their children due to delays to SNAP benefits. She said uncertainty over SNAP delays “builds this anxiety of, ‘Well, if this is going to be taken away, what else is?'

* repeats for emphasis * "Neither movement waited for courts to recognize their rights; they interpreted the Constitution for themselves" or to paraphrase Justice Thurgood Marshall, do what's right and let the law catch up

IF YOU ARE IN SEATTLE OR WA STATE RN AND ARE FRESHLY EXCITED FOR SOME REASON AND HAVEN'T VOTED YET, YOU HAVE 90 MINUTES TO SCRIBBLE LIKE SEVEN EASY BUBBLES, SIGN YOUR NAME, AND HIT YOUR LOCAL BALLOT BOX

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Virginia has elected Ghazala Hashmi as the state’s next lieutenant governor, making her the first Muslim woman ever elected to statewide office in the United States. 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

This is why I refuse to use TurboTax or H&R Block anymore.

It has been 2 months since FDA head Marty Makary falsely alleged that “There have been children who have died from the COVID vaccine…We’re gonna release a report in the coming few weeks”. His report is still nowhere to be found. Where’s the report, shitbirds?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Seattle! DROP OFF (ideally) or MAIL YOUR BALLOTS TODAY! Tomorrow may not count! "The U.S. Postal Service may not postmark returned ballots on the day they’re first collected"

Are you Gen Z, Millennial, or one of my fellow not-sucky Gen X voters? Or even a boomer who cares about the future and is willing to take a chance on change? VOTE TODAY. FOR KATIE.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Many highly-paid AI boosters with rewarding jobs simply can’t seem to imagine how THEY might feel if THEY were forced out of their job and into low-paying, low-status manual labor. But this is what happens when we let the powerful identify others as “NPCs” and don’t drive them away with pitchforks

In the eyes of the establishment, there’s literally nothing Mamdani can do to prove he’s not an antisemite, and literally nothing the openly fascist trump regime can do to prove they are, up to and including intentionally dressing like literal, historical Nazis

📍 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄, 𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐀: @beyer.house.gov is sounding the alarm after reports that detainees at the Farmville Detention Center were served rotten food with worms and faced retaliation when they complained. He’s demanding immediate federal action. #AbuseofPowerWatch

This is clear political prosecution and government overreach meant to scare protestors by going after resistance leaders and political candidates. Kat Abughazaleh must not be imprisoned for fighting against the President’s fascism.

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Racists are putting out AI videos of Black women threatening to be violent if the prospect of them losing their SNAP benefits next week. It's rage bait and it's racist and it's fake

why does that dog have suspenders

Washington state friends! Of all the grim things happening, one of the very grimmest is going into winter with SNAP benefits about to disappear. I'm trying to raise $10,000 between now and the week before Thanksgiving for Northwest Harvest. Please donate if you can!

This is the reminder that SNAP makes money because ensuring people have enough to eat is a basic economic multiplier

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

Reminder to everybody; if you think you saw someone stealing food, no you didn’t.

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown.
