Proposition 50 is an opportunity for Californians to protect our state and country from the Trump administration’s undemocratic attacks on our communities, the social safety net, and our economy. #YesOnProp50 The power is with Californians. couragecalifornia.org/yes-on-calif...

Without provocation, masked federal agents indiscriminately shoot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets from the rooftop of the Portland ICE facility.

Y'all🙄

‘Big Vinnie or Little Vinnie?’

‘We’re calling it Columbus Day again’ feels like a consolation prize for Yankees fans. ‘Fugehdaboutit, Nona’s gonna make some gravy and meatballs, cousin Sal is bringing the gabbaghoul-the good sh*t from Hoboken, Vinnie’s almost off parole…’

Marjorie Taylor Greene Takes a Swing at GOP Leadership, Blasts Anyone Trying to ‘Prevent’ Epstein List ‘From Coming Out’

Man, I wish I was in Portland. This looks like a good time!

Manzanar: 😢

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Have you ever voted against anything that Trump has set forth in terms of policy? ... Trump is a dictator. So it doesn't matter what Johnson does or what they guy over in the Senate does."

The government's strategy to delay this case -- s. Andrew McCabe who had the threat of crim. charges "hanging over me and my family for almost the last two years" edition.cnn.com/2020/02/14/p... (Feb. 14, '20)

"A copy of the arrangement I reviewed shows that the United States has agreed to pay Eswatini $5.1 million to take in up to 160 so-called 'third country nationals'" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Johnson and Lauer are stalling. If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip. The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Jack Ciattarelli Denies Birthright Citizenship, Backs Trump’s ICE Deportation Raids The GOP gubernatorial candidate would welcome Trump's chaos to New Jersey meidasnews.com/news/jack-ci...

Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show."

The replies on the editorial include many versions of “thanks for finally convincing me to cancel.”

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

It takes tremendous courage. He’s aware of risks & threats of which I know nothing. I can only imagine. Placing yourself publicly between the Regime & any goalpost is life threatening. There are no guardrails. But us. We are Pritzker’s backup. If enough of us show up, the tide may turn. No violence.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

It's happening people! We'll get a Zombie Trump by mid December. #resist

🤦‍♀️

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

Pay attention. "Plenary authority is legal power that is full, complete, and unrestricted in a specific area. When used in reference to government officials, the term "plenary power" is more common." My Magic 8 Ball says, "All signs point to buckle the f*%k up."

Unfortunately I’ve seen this movie before. I really want this to be true but history tells me otherwise. Also…I’m pretty sure Hamas doesn’t know where all the hostages are. I’m also pretty sure Israel will use that as excuse and the Orange Demon will let them. www.bbc.com/news/live/cx...

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

Palestinian Journalists in Gaza City are walking through the streets to inform families about the ceasefire agreement, amid widespread power and internet outages.

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

This, this. (Short 🧵)

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown. Where are House Republicans? On vacation. Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

BREAKING President Trump may go to the Middle East as early as Friday, after his checkup at Walter Reed, the White House says.

Russian troops have been ordered to storm our positions at any cost, - Zelenskyy "Accordingly, the level of Russian losses has significantly increased.

At least 24 people were killed and 47 wounded while protesting against Myanmar's military government after an army motorized paraglider dropped two bombs on the crowd. This is where this country is headed. 🤬 www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you are from Portland or have ever visited, you know this video portrays the quintessential vibe there. Don't let this fucked up criminal regime steal your joy!

#notdoneyet!

The mayor of Waukegan stepped in after Border Patrol reportedly arrested an American citizen near city hall.

Good lord. @apnews.com

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

If what Trump is doing is legal - if his loopholes are technically real loopholes - the laws need to change. An if it's illegal, folks need to go to jail. No other options unless you want *all of this* to be standard American politics from here on out. @jvl.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

And he's not demented. He's going to declare an organization a foreign terrorist organization right after admitting he has no idea what the organization is. P.S. Antifa is not an organization whatsoever.

So The Guardian reported yesterday that Jimmy Kimmel's return "rankled" Trump. So today's episode of the @dailybeanspod.com is called "Kimmel Rankles Cankles." You're welcome. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

it’s all just a grift

This is why I love Chicago so much. Their “we will fuck with you” reserves are BOTTOMLESS.

Siva Vaidhyanathan on the Trump admin’s proposed “compact” for universities (to give up academic freedom in exchange for favorable treatment by the Trump government): “This ‘compact’ is more like an invitation to borrow money from the mob, with substantial control and future penalties assured.”

Unprecedented, truly massive turn outs for #NoKingsDay are crucial. Not only for themselves, but to build momentum for a #GeneralStrike and boycott. Money alone talks.

"Maybe you can look into that, Pam" -- Trump directs Pam Bondi to try to stop a planned anti-Trump rally in Austin

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Illinois governor J.B.Pritzker has friends & family members whose time has come TODAY to STAND UP and SPEAK OUT AGAINST Trump’s vile comments made against the governor. You can't allow Trump to just "feel free" to spew ANY hallucinations he dreams up to attempt to turn the public against someone.

"That's treasonous..." But he's not demented.
