The MAGA are now denying you safe air travel along with reasonable health insurance premiums. All so they can give massive tax breaks to the very wealthy.

Following a temporary ruling in October, on Friday a federal judge issued a permanent injunction barring Trump from deploying the National Guard to Portland. The judge, Karin J. Immergut, a Trump nominee, said "The President's determination was simply untethered to the facts." Judicial sanity!

"Diocesan officials are warning foreign-born priests and other religious here on visas not to travel outside the United States after a priest serving in the diocese was barred from re-entering the country." Elise Stefanik was asked and has done nothing. www.northcountrycatholic.org/Articles/202...

Wonderful opportunity organized by one of our most effective community agencies with a great track record of getting food and household staples to our neighbors who need it the most. And we can do it every day of November!

This is the quintessential photograph to define the Trump presidency.

Please join us on Sunday, November 23 as ICC concludes its three-part series on the constructive ways we create change in the world, even in the darkest and most inexplicable of times. The November program features Cortland psychotherapist Joe Pullman. See you there!

Conservative upstate talk radio host Bob Lonsberry says Elise Stefanik's hope to run for Governor is dead. It's over. She can only lose. He's right but her ego is too great to pull back. She's going to end her political career in a quixotic run instead. Get some popcorn and watch.

We go forward together fighting fascism!

Barack Obama‬: "...It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.” To everyone who did something to help, thank you!

The intentional cruelty is at "let them eat cake" levels. Perhaps we need a new national action.

Nobody will be surprised by this. Congress needs to release the full Epstein files.

The UUP and CSEA unions are speaking out on behalf of their members that were detained last week. “They live in a beautiful little community with decorations and families and pets running around. They’ve created a wonderful life for themselves here that we want to get them back to.”

At some point, he must bring the House back to order. Or else we simply have no government. MAGA need to be penalized for destroying our government while protecting pedophiles. Release the Epstein files.

On October 31 while 42 million Americans were counting down to midnight when their SNAP benefits would expire, Trump held a “Great Gatsby” Halloween party that reportedly cost us $3.4 million. Its theme: “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody.”

Sen. Warren: Right now, as we are talking, and tomorrow and on Saturday, people everywhere in America are getting letters, getting their email notices that say, here's what your healthcare premiums are gonna be like for next year. And they’re not looking at numbers that are up, they are up, up, up.

Spotify is carrying ICE recruitment ads. You know what to do. P. S. On our FB page, Qobuz was suggested in place of Tidal for recent ethical dilemmas. h/t to Sheridan Crane!

We found it easier to understand once we found out Mike Johnson's wife Kelly is an unlicensed "pastoral counselor" who promotes LGBTQ conversion therapy.

This is why a solid public education is so important. You'll be able to accurately tell the good guys from the bad guys.

With SNAP benefits set to be cut this coming Saturday, State Senator Webb’s presence in Cortland on Monday is very important. Please spread the word.

Lights are on but nobody is home. We have a broken Roomba for President.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

The Democrats in the Senate are trying hard to prevent this. That's why our federal government is shut down. The GOP just doesn't care. They have rich folks to cater to.

Release the Epstein files!

Last weekend Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on news shows saying he is “feeling the pain” of China’s trade policies because he himself is a soybean farmer. Bessent owns thousands of acres of North Dakota farmland that he rents out to actual farmers. He is NOT a soybean farmer. Faker.

Is this a sign the House won't be back in session anytime soon?

Buckle up! "Miles Taylor, who served as Department of Homeland Security chief of staff during the first Trump administration and authored an infamous, anonymous 2018 New York Times editorial, said Friday, “Feels like we’re going down the rabbit hole pretty fast here, folks.”

Keep an eye on this. It might grow spontaneously or intentionally. We need to keep building on our momentum.

Here is a little entertainment from our favorite South Dakota singer/songwriter. Enjoy on this Saturday evening!

Tomorrow, 2-4 p.m., Cortland United Presbyterian Church. Nothing better than spending time with like-minded folks determined to make change. See you there!

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Dear ICE agent: We the good people of New York State are watching ... This week, New York Attorney General Letitia James launched a portal for people to share videos and photos of federal immigration raids. "We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law.”

Not national defense? Not the wars going on? Not hungry Americans? Not the steep price of health insurance? MAGA doesn't care about regular folks like us.

Of course it does. A lot of the people affected by the loss of ACA tax credits are small business owners and employees. Just like with farmers, Trump and his associates are screwing them while benefitting the very wealthy.

What now? From Robert Reich (just a few from his list)— 1) Organize for the 2026 midterms 3) Help people who are losing their jobs and benefits 4) Call your members of Congress 6) Boycott companies that are enabling Trump 7) Protect the vulnerable 7) Spread the truth 😎 Keep the faith

The tyrant in the #OvalOffice is literally and figuratively wrecking the #WhiteHouse, symbolic of the #presidency of the United States. It couldn't be clearer. We must defend our U.S. Constitution now and restore checks and balances. #NoKings

Elitest and racist. Fully endorsed by Elise Stefanik. This is what MAGA has replaced conservative tradition in the GOP with. It's truly a shame.

Oh, great. Our “intelligence” Chief is going after something that doesn’t exist. These people should never work again. www.reuters.com/world/us/wid...

This is obscene!

Here is an article about Trump tearing apart the White House for his ballroom monstrosity. We don't like overusing the Hitler analogy, but this is what he did to Berlin.

Please join us on Sunday, October 26 as ICC continues its three-part series on the constructive ways we create change in the world, even in the darkest of times. These three sessions provide insight into how we use art, personal advocacy and self care to discover and use our voices.
