"Forty-two judges went so far as to say that the Supreme Court’s emergency orders had caused 'some' or 'major' harm to the public’s perception of the judiciary[,] [including] nearly half of the Republican-nominated judges." gift link 👉 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America. And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

JB wants you to believe he’ll stop trmp when he won’t even stop the Illinois state police from attacking residents

They have beaten, arrested, and detained several people including a live-streamer; still kettling people. Apparently the mayor has put a curfew into place to claim that the protesters are “unlawfully assembled” instead of exercising their constitutional rights. The protesters are still there.

The protesters are now unable to get to their vehicles to exit the area, having been pushed repeatedly in the opposite direction by the state police, who appear to be setting up to mass arrest people.

This Is The Real Reason For The Chump/RepubliKKKan ShutDown !

It takes 3 men with AR15s for a 120 lb, unarmed female. This is how patheticly weak this Administration is. Property Damage, no Due Process, no Warents, all unconstitutional. How can they even sleep at night?

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating. Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

Great news! 24,000 donors have raised over $567,000 within 24 hrs of Letitia James’ indictment. Mamdani also summoned what is known as the sisterhood of Black elected officials in NYC to lend their support. I look forward to her victory. ❤️‍🔥 #Pinks #SheShed www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/p...

Immigrant advocates have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them, @caitlindickerson.bsky.social reports. One tells her: “It's never been this bad.”

Trump laying off workers to pay for the $20 billion he just used to bail out Argentina and the #TrumpShutDown #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AIe1wZRa3QIC...

The White House is using footage of Florida in Trump’s “fake news” attempt at showing chaos in Chicago. In the video which was shot during “Operation unrest” you can see palm trees. They are so bad at this. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/A0IeQajgtQ2m...

Federal judge temporarily blocks the National Guard in Illinois saying “it would be like adding fuel to the fire.” Trump has declared war on Blue states. Let’s hope the courts continue to follow the law. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AvBl1_4QlTBG...

Federal judge ruled Ice Agents have to have identification and wear badges while on the job in Illinois unless they are undercover. Ruling also said they cannot use bullets and pepper spray against peaceful protesters and journalists. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AkHeUzRPhTeu...

"If and when the shutdown ends" ... yikes! contrarian.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Regime media.

Republican consultants are much smarter than their Democratic counterparts. They push a lot of their cash to right-wing media so they can stay afloat and promote the candidates on their own. Democrats give their cash to Rupert Murdoch and Sinclair. Totally foolish--in the short and long term

BTW, Democrats also have benefited more from "dark money" since 2018, according to the Brennan Center: "Overall, dark money groups boosting Ds put up about $1.2 billion to influence 2024 elections, while groups boosting Rs accounted for about $664 million." Money isn't the issue. It's competence.

Kristi Noem is releasing a TSA message to airports attacking Democrats over the shutdown. But they don't have to play her Hatch Act violating message. The Portland airport (aka PDX) isn't playing it. Blue cities should follow suit. www.koin.com/news/portlan...

it was a long shot anyway but there’s no way the Gaza ceasefire holds now that trump lost the nobel peace prize

We‘ve gotten to the Anne Frank stage of the presidency.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

I don’t care if it’s AI - this is great. The song is that AI taylor’s voice? I don’t listen to her.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

This is a hair on fire situation. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too. Sincerely, An Epidemiologist Who Told You Trump Would Get COVID Booster.

The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn't get on. So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result.😎🤣💙☺️

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

Fun fact. Trump watches are made in China. Trump just slapped a massive tariff on himself

Doubt.

No, really! Some of her minions will, certainly.

And because cruelty is the point.

How exactly was she “obstructing justice”? By being a bystander? By filming something? And WHY does EVERY arrest involve throwing people to the ground??? 🤬🤬🤬
