Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Here's a little history of notable general strikes: 1/x 🧵 Why is May 1 Workers' Day? On 1 May 1886, nationwide general strike for 8-hour day, w/hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the US. In Chicago, protests against police escalated into the Haymarket riot, w/hanging of 8 organizers.

Constantly have to explain to people that the lovely lives they lead...built on the blood of unions. My cousin Billy explains it better: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXyV...

Nobody adds a ballroom to a house they plan on leaving.

Prince Andrew to be completely dismantled by 2026 so he's just a glass jar of spare buttons. Buckingham Palace have confirmed the jar will be kept in a cupboard at Sandringham and will only be taken out for special occasions such as Remembrance Day and fixing Camilla's favourite cardigan.

The fact they could get that many New Yorkers to willingly go to Times Square just shows the severity of this situation.

@farrahbostic.bsky.social some frogs

I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law. Trump Orders Santos to Be Freed From Prison ‘Immediately’ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

....And then she said, I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge Today, Billie-Joe McAllister jumped off the -

Just worried how long it's going to take...

But my fav joke I wrote is this: What's white and goes ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ? A SOUTH-AFRICAN CHAS & DAVE COVERS BAND

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals  You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Never put your faith in a politician...but...

Are some muscle 💪 bound sweaty naked bicyclist boys making you hot under the collar Mike?

Is.. he in the room now...sir?

With these disgusting people who created the mess I always take the approach of 'my enemies enemy is my friend'. They're useful morons. Maybe make a republican dad relent.

A couple of parking signs for anyone who wants to print them out for this coming Saturday.

We are so blessed with our great leaders.

Good God man, Speaker Johnson just wants a kiss, a manly cowboy kiss. Don't leave him hanging like this.

You just know theyre gonna ban inflatable suits

One of my dearest and longest loved friends still lives in Portland where we grew up and she sent me this:

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Get him the cane! He loves the cane! Cane sugar and lots of beef tallow.

Why do we lost to these stupid pricks? Because they totally get 'stupid' and we don't. RFKjr is special because he's so dumb he doesn't even KNOW he's gaslighting you

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump. Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account. But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

"Shart...no not 'golf cart'. It's a 'shart'. Yes, sit still."

The “Bush being informed about 9/11” meme has been defeated.

They're going to take him there and build a Potemkin Village of boarded up artisanal coffee shops...

"Stop using me as a meme"

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

@farrahbostic.bsky.social seen this?

We solve the playing of the Smiths versus Morrissey in our house by a simple mnemonic: 'If Johnny's On: Carry On' but 'No Marr, Kick It Far'

There’s lot of Covid going around at the moment, again. I don’t qualify for NHS jabs, which are now very restricted, but I just paid £90 for one at my local pharmacy. As a freelancer, that’s a lot less expensive than having to take a week or two off if I get ill, let alone risking long term issues.

I was half expecting the penultimate pic to be a souvenir shop and small cafe and the rest of them to have ‘please do not touch, visitors’ signs. Where does one relax in a house like this?

Our office released a new study highlighting rampant illegal parking across Downtown Brooklyn. Vehicles block sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes & loading zones - making it more dangerous for New Yorkers to get around the neighborhood. www.lincolnrestler.nyc/s/Illegal-Pa...

Down my way!

Oh beautiful framing of an article. The poor, poor supreme court justice trampling over liberties, precedence, democracy but being afraid of peaceful protest.

schrödinger’s paddington - he’s either putting it up or taking it down depending on how racist you are

Yeah, to be honest @schumer.senate.gov I've got a semi at best. You've been great. Now Please step aside. For the love of the Republic step aside.

Like all good fascists he likes to see sweaty, fit young men exerting themselves around him...

Makes me think of a Jay Z song...what is it? Something about presidents and money...
