Like nails on a chalkboard!!

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

If you have to tweet this in all caps, you have already lost. And yes, they do! We’ve seen the videos.

LMAO

Fucking magnets, how do they work? 🤡

Ah yes, the thing to revitalize your downtown is to fill it with masked and armed man who routinely pepper spray random people. Everyone loves that.

Sounds about right!

CICERO, IL — Trump’s ICE goons pepper spray into a family’s car and hits a 1 year old baby girl.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

50 year mortgage is so crazy. to put it in perspective, 2016 was 50 years ago

“Strange obsession with physical traits” ummm this is the ableism that 90% of people in the US practice out loud every day🤔

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Even if you change your name though, that doesn’t stop the misogyny and misgendering!

I know we are all talking about how Trump reacted, but I can’t stop laughing at how RFKJ jr. noped the fuck outta there!

If you read and watch one thing today it should be this pice accompanying @agawande.bsky.social documentary. "As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children." www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

A clarification

😂😂😂 Sure, Jan.

What is conservative feminism?

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Major win in Arlington County Public Schools, with pro-trans Moe Bryant dominating the election. Arlington County Public Schools has made headlines for defying the Trump admin on trans kids in bathrooms.

Decision Desk has called the New Jersey governors race for Mikie Sherill. Yet another state where millions of dollars in anti trans ads didn't work.

this is genuinely wild

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway: "I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons." Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism. Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

This is extremely upsetting.

When the suspects appear to be white guys, it’s not a bombing — it’s an intentional explosion.

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

"Their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal." The effects are only permanent on trans youth apparently.

In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community. It's pure propaganda and gaslighting.

The richest administration in American history and they’re keeping snap hostage

They can’t define “young” because that is not a legal definition. It is a feeling they have. Adult republicans making Nazi jokes: young. US citizen children they zip tie: not young. Only people they think of as deserving ever get the privilege of being “young.”

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price? $2733.15 a month.

I see we’re doing the “SNAP shouldn’t be used for DoorDash” debate yet again. Reminder that many people on SNAP are disabled & housebound. Delivery services are a lifeline. Not everyone can cook. Not everyone can clean up. Also poor people deserve treats too!

Priorities!

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records. We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility. They’re disappearing people. No due process. No accountability.

Relatable!

At Orchard Gardens, a public school in Roxbury, I asked the school nurses what the #1 issue is for kids who come to them. Their response? Hunger. Republicans are worsening this crisis every day through their government shutdown and policy CHOICES. This is 100% preventable.

oh just straight up gutter racism!
