In the wake of the longest government shutdown in US history, an ongoing self-inflicted tariff war, and his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, President Trump’s approval rating has cratered to 36 percent. Also tanking? His meme coins.

Imagine thinking yourself a Christian and posting this on the 1st Sunday of Advent - when the reading in church was: they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

If you use Ring or Alexa, heads up on surveillance concerns.

In short, a president can pause or limit certain categories of entry at the border, but he cannot use this law to rewrite immigration policy, eliminate statutory protections, or impose sweeping bans that conflict with other federal laws or the Constitution.

Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you, for the voices that rise up, the hearts that refuse to back down, and the courage that keeps the resistance moving forward. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. 💚✊

The schism within MAGA does not mean that the Right will simply destroy itself and that things will automatically get better. Unless we embrace collective action to address the material conditions that got us here, MAGA will birth a more extreme, even more fascist and Neo-Nazi movement.

This is so horrifying. We need justice. And answers. Shut these brutal ICE facilities down.

The only question is why the President of the United States of America would threaten government officials with violence, because they are reminding military they have a choice to not follow illegal orders.

We resist this regime not just because they’re petty and mean, not just because they break laws and target minorities, but because their intentions are dangerous - to everyone. Click through for the full thread. The’re going to take away protections for ALL GROUNDWATER.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act passed the United States House of Representatives by 427-1! 👏

BREAKING: I just interviewed Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor, ahead of today's historic vote in the House, and she had a clear message to Donald Trump and Republicans: stop hiding, release the files. Spread her story and her voice everywhere. It's time to get the full files.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Walking school bus! ✊🏼

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

What is the most reliable way to divert the American media’s attention from the Epstein files? You go to war. @aaronparnas.bsky.social aaronparnas.substack.com/p/news-hegse...

Finally! Speaker Mike Johnson just swore Representative Adelita Grijalva.

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Replace Schumer.

It is somehow both “this has been the longest year in recorded history” and also “how is it the middle of November already” right now

Jeffries: "These Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA more than 70 different times. They're not acting in good faith in dealing w/healthcare crisis they're visiting on the American people. This is the same group who just enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in history in their big ugly bill."

To be an elected official and still support Trump is to support a man who is spending money taxpayer money provided by your constituents to starve your constituents. If you still can't stand up, at least have the honesty to admit you are the problem. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Fixed that for him

Huge election results. Many are elated and relieved. For those of us with MAGA or GOP family members, I keep thinking about how stunned and anxious they must be feeling. Mixed emotions which we can relate to and acknowledge.

If you’re turned away at the polls (in Virginia or anywhere in the U.S.), here’s what to do: - Request a written explanation: If poll workers deny your regular ballot, ask them to put in writing why they refused it.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should somehow be more concerned about how a poor person uses the welfare system than we are about the ultra wealthy swaying the highest positions or power in our country to their favor.

This is a turning point a shift toward biometric policing becoming a part of everyday American life. The same surveillance systems once confined to airports and borders are now appearing in neighborhoods, workplaces, and public demonstrations.

The GOP is in a death spiral, locked in an embrace of Trump that they can’t escape from because they’ll get primaried and be threatened by crazed MAGAs. This could have huge consequences in the 2026 midterms unless they can successfully break with him in time.

This is yet another example of Trump’s DOJ targeting political opponents and activists while protecting his allies. What’s happening isn’t law enforcement, it’s political retaliation designed to silence dissent and criminalize those who stand up to his administration’s cruelty.

Co-sign.

An accurate comparison to what’s happening. Glad at least one GOP senator is calling this out. The others? Craven silence.

Hope is not a sentimental optimism that things will somehow work out; hope is the subversive conviction that injustice and death will not have the final word and acting on that belief. Hope is not passive waiting it’s active persistence. Hope prays, peacefully protests, weeps, and keeps showing up.

"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed" Frederick Joseph"A Thought on Normalcy in Fascism" frederickjoseph.substack.com/p/normal-tim...

BREAKING: Inflation rises to 3% for the first time since January. Economists warn that it will only continue to rise because of Trump's economic policies.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

Here’s still going! About 20 hrs now.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 At least what’s happening is all being read into the congressional record.

Trump is having his own “let them eat cake” moment while so many go without pay, he’s busy building a ballroom and tearing down the people’s house.

I’m holding the floor to say HELL NO to Trump’s attacks on our Constitution and our communities. www.youtube.com/live/H1VL5Po...

UNDERREPORTED: New Reuters/Ipsos poll: Most Americans oppose using troops where no external threat exists. 🇺🇸 All adults: 58% say no 🐘 Republicans: 51% 🐴 Democrats: 72% Source: Reuters/Ipsos, Oct. 3–7 2025

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

A people who refuse to despise one another are immune to authoritarians because an authoritarian’s power depends on certain groups of people despising other groups of people. This is why there’s so much power in Jesus’ words, “love your enemies.” It is an act of resistance.
