Georgians! Statewide Election! Vote Oct 14-31 (early voting), or Nov 4th. We need new Public Service Commissioners (PSC) if we want cheaper energy bills and less dirty fossil fuels. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Courtesy: Patty Durand:

Public Service Commissions tell monopoly electric and gas utilities what they can and can't do, including whether they can raise your electricity bills. PSC election turnouts are often in the *single digits*. More than almost any other election, your PSC vote really matters!

Zohran Mamdani on MAGA billionaire, Bill Ackman, donating to the campaign against him: "He's spending more money against me than I would even tax him. Everyday is like a million dollars, I'm like, I don't even want that much."

Only 2 weeks until Election Day - make a plan to vote TODAY! Make sure your friend and family know about this important election. Voter turnout in off-year elections tends to be low and every vote really makes a difference! www.govotega.org/psc

BREAKING: Immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters, a judge rules.

Thanks for holding the line, @warnock.senate.gov!

“Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.“

Necessary Trouble was proud to support the George Floyd National Day of Remembrance on October 14, 2025, which would have been his 52nd birthday. We stand with his family and the families of all the other Black men who are victims of police violence. #GeorgeFloyd #SayHisName #BlackLivesMatter

Just a reminder from one of our bannering messages.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @jesseduquette.bsky.social )

There is nothing an authoritarian fears more than peaceful, organized people power. That’s why the White House is now turning its sights on us. 🧵

Yesterday night, outside of the Portland ICE facility, many legendary creatures appeared to protest and show support to their community. Frogs from different ponds flocked in the city to support Super Froggie in his battle against ICE.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

If you are in NYC and want to show your support to immigrants, please consider joining a silent vigil against their abduction and deportation. Protesters have anti-ICE signs. Every Thursday, 12-1 PM 26 Federal Plaza (Worth St.), NYC

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

Reports from the Miami Herald reveal that a staggering 1,200 people have gone missing from just this one facility. Alcatraz is now drawing comparisons to Auschwitz.

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

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)

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?

KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The PSC elections are coming up in Georgia and we have the opportunity to elect TWO great candidates to replace the current Georgia Power controlled ones. Make a plan to early vote today 🗳️

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I'm attending Indivisible Georgia Coalition's event, “Standing in Solidarity - Free Rodney Taylor!” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisibleg...

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer. That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩 that authoritarianism isn’t *coming* it’s ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.

Massive anti-Trump protest outside the Windsor Castle.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr: "There's actions we can take on licensed broadcasters. It's long past the time that...Comcast and Disney say 'We're not gonna run Kimmel anymore...because we licensed broadcasters are running the possibly of fines or licensed revocation from the FCC.'"

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

See the below article and thread for alternatives to the platforms owned by the techno-fascist billionaires. Drop: X, Meta, Google, ChatGPT, and Amazon. Use: Bluesky, Pixelfed, Mastodon, Ghost and DuckDuckGo. Skylight is a great alternative to TikTok and works well with Bluesky. Same for Flashes.

This is what courage looks like

We’re offering a training on how to identify, defuse, and prevent the spread of political violence. By standing up in defense of democracy and in opposition to violence, we spread the courage for more to do so.

Political violence and threats are not the answer. This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion. We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

FREE Rodney Taylor! Take Action Against ICE Illegal Arrests + Deportations! Rodney Taylor, a double-amputee with pending green card application was arrested by ICE 7 mos ago. His life hangs in the balance at Stewart Detention, in subhuman conditions + without proper medical care. Take action now!

BREAKING: The Washington Post has FIRED its last full-time Black opinion columnist for criticizing Charlie Kirk…by posting HIS OWN STATEMENTS. After Kirk's assassination, Karen Attiah, an eleven-year veteran of the Post, wrote a thread on Bluesky condemning political violence

Robert Reich, who worked for Ford & Carter, served as labor Sec for Clinton, and was on Obama's economic transition advisory board — cites progressives like @zohrankmamdani @grahamformaine.bsky.social & @abdulelsayed.bsky.social as the “future” for Dems. Full post: www.facebook.com/share/p/15zD...

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

When discussing how to handle the unhoused and mentally ill populations, Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends recommended to “just kill them” using “involuntary lethal injection.” This is how the Trump regime and its propagandists can normalize and bring about the mass murder of vulnerable populations.
