I'm always very open about the fact that I received SNAP benefits and Medicaid for a bit after I fled my abusive husband with my little kid in tow. I used it to help me start over in a new state and go back to school to get my BA. I now have a PhD. SNAP benefits saved my life.

🤔 Interaction between HuffPost and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go. *Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

This is devastating.

New human case of H5 bird flu reported in Mexico City.

Apparently this is the boogeyman that Trump is saying was at the No Kings protest. It is a Hamas member, in LGBTQ garb and has a unicorn hat.

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

We stayed classy. #NoKings

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

This is what this “Antifa” bullshit is all about: It’s about coming for you and anyone who would stand up to the authoritarians.

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

Nonviolent public protests can generate dramatic changes in public opinion and, ultimately, in public awareness and public policy as well. The civil rights movement managed to topple what @mariajstephan.bsky.social calls "white supremacist authoritarianism." #NoKings www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Timeline cleanse! Here are some of our favorite signs from our No Kings Day party with Demi Palecek and @raygunshirts.bsky.social last week. We’ll be going to different No Kings Day events across the Ninth District today 🚫👑 See you in the streets!

Off with his head.

There is no plan to reopen the government. I hope you realize that. Trump hates the United States, because it’s somewhat diverse and proves anyone can be successful… under the right conditions. He and his mafia want to destroy it and establish a new, NAZI-like system.

Happy No Kings Day! ATL is in the house! #nokings

Fishermen of War. Two warriors who somehow didn’t die on command. What happens next will be very important. They were not prepared for this.

Lindsey Martin’s electricity bill reached $314 in July, the highest bill she had received this year until that point, she said on TikTok. In the video’s more than 4,000 comments, many users reported similar power-bill spikes.

Observe, record and keep evidence

The country of Argentina is a sinking ship, due to failed economic ideas

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

He is basically doing what Trump did, he is ID’ing a problem felt by majorities… and offering his own solutions

How very Rooseveltian of them

Flood the Zone with Truth and Facts...

Vic Mensa, an American rapper born and raised in Chicago, breaks down ICE raids and the politics of division.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

October 21st! - “THE FINAL CONFESSION: VIRGINIA GIUFFRE’S 400-PAGE MANUSCRIPT THE ELITE NEVER WANTED YOU TO READ.”

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

"Why are the crowds so old?" Maine is a very OLD state. Young people leave, it's rural, but more leave because they are priced out. Those who try to move back home can almost never afford to. I live with my mom, sister & husband in my childhood home. No shame in it but I can't afford much else.

Dark Green that is...

This is what it looks like when your community stands up.

Imagine that

Nail head, meet hammer

BREAKING: Trump calls for jailing Gov. JB Pritzker & Chicago Mayor Johnson. “I will not back down. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”— @GovPritzker shorturl.at/3VUAH #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "ICE are raging through the streets of Chicago trying to intimidate everyday ordinary citizens trying to go to school and work. That's not what America is about. It's shameful that the president has instigated this."

A bill empowering Congress to censor information about its members online has passed the Senate. But it's not too late to stop it. Use our new action center tool to tell the House not to sacrifice transparency for a false sense of security.

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours. Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't. Remember If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours. Speak out now!

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

Residents of a Chicago apartment building say dozens of ICE & FBI agents stormed the building, zip-tying children, flash-banging hallways, and detaining residents — including U.S. citizens. This is horrifying and Un-American!
