Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California. I urge anyone in the state to vote yes. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Another day of the Republicans refusing to fund healthcare and continuing to protect pedophiles.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

This is powerful. I hope we all believe every word.

Congress should only get the worst health insurance available in the US. We'd have universal health insurance by next week.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

I don't remember who said this during its first regime but it still stands.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Swear her in.

Knuckleheads keep building flimsy houses at the very edge of the sea and they keep falling in. Presumably they are uninsured and not making everyone else's premiums go even higher, but still. Stop doing this. Climate change doesn't care if you believe in it or not.

BREAKING: The number of jobs created in August has been revised from 54,000 down to -3,000.

We just got Microsoft Copilot at work. I like it; it helps locate and summarize information I use every day. But boy howdy am I afraid that in the hands of lazy employees it will be a crutch and a detriment to folks improving their writing skills, which will hasten their unemployment.

This trump regime is a shit sandwich inside a train wreck wrapped up in a clusterfuck.

This isn't for the faint of heart. Steel yourselves for the war-torn devastation of....farmers' markets, gorgeous hikes, lovely neighborhoods, and people getting coffee. The humanity.

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

Well said 🇬🇧. Very well said. 🎤 drop. #News #FuckTrump #FuckICE #Resist

This is the ICE scum that brutally assaulted a Mother. Make him famous.

We knit at dawn! #Portland

I bought Tylenol today. I already had some but I bought more.🖕🏼 Also, release the Epstein files.

I bet there's a pretty high percentage of people serving in the military right now who enlisted because serving is a family tradition. Which means their parents, grandparents, and/or great-grandparents were the original Antifa.

People ask me all the time what they can do to fight Trump & fascism. Well there’s something you can do right now: Get every person you know in California to vote for Prop 50 & volunteer (info at cadem.org/prop50). The election is Nov 4 & early voting starts soon. 🧵

Hearing that starting tomorrow there will be a sharp increase in 287g related immigration arrests/operations in the Orlando area. Possibly conducted by Florida law enforcement but ICE has been asked to assist to process those arrested. Please be cautious if you live in that area.

A government shutdown will be 100% on trump and the GOP. They know it. We know it. Most Americans know it. We won't be fooled. A shutdown what trump wants, has always wanted. It's looking more and more like another cover-up to steal even more of what belongs to the American people.

Many of us saw this unfold over the last 40 years. But I would stress an additional point. None of this would be possible without the complicity of elected politicians. Yes, big corporations are greedy and predatory. But the root problem is corrupt politicians. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

How to tell that you selected the right dentist: Speaking with mine this morning about a procedure I'll be having and she noted that there might be some pain for a day or two after but easily managed with Tylenol.

Breaking: trump issues executive order classifying that monster who lives under your bed at night and will bite off any body parts that hang over the edge as a terrorist organization.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

What a shock. Hospital deaths rise after a private equity firm takes over, reduces staff, puts profits over patients. Staffing cut 11.6%, mortality up 13.4% while the death rate decreased at hospitals not acquired by PE. STOP PROFITEERING HEALTH CARE! www.beckershospitalreview.com/quality/pati...

Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.

If y'all needed a good visual for "Florida Man" this is it.

All of this.💙

I don't know anybody who believed the rapture would actually happen but everybody I know is disappointed the magas weren't hoovered out of here.

What - and I cannot stress this strenuously enough - THE FUCK.

Just checking in. I see all us pagans are still here. Rock on.

I figure we're only days if not minutes away from trump telling us thalidomide is perfectly safe during pregnancy.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

We quit Publix when they kept their prices jacked up after the pandemic, switched to Winn Dixie and Costco, and never looked back. We save at least 30% on our weekly grocery bill.

I'm telling ya, people. We, as consumers, have all the power we need. We just have to find it in ourselves to make some short-term sacrifices of the things we think we can't live without and STOP BUYING THEM. We could bring the oligarchs to their knees in a month.
