“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” Jane Goodall

Pope Leo yesterday: “Someone who says ‘I’m against abortion but says I am in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life, someone who says that ‘I’m against abortion, but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life.”

Like Scandinavian...but brown.

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Of all the best and kindest humans to ever live, Jane Goodall is near the top of my list. Rest in Peace, you beautiful soul. On behalf of the earth, I thank you www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

"Verbal slip" my ass!! ______ Ted Cruz's 'Verbal Slip' Goes Viral After He Mistakenly Urges Senators to 'Stop Attacking Pedophiles' ~People

Pass it on.

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

We’re united with baristas in their fight for a fair contract. And if Starbucks’ failure to bargain in good faith forces them to go on strike, you’ll find me on the picket line.

Release the Epstein Files #pedoPres

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

A whopping 38% of Russia’s refining capacity is now offline, according to The Economist. Gasoline output fell by 1 million tons in September which has created a 20% domestic shortfall. Repairs may take months because of sanctions limiting access to parts and tech.

DelBene: He’s the president of the United States, and instead of talking about standing up for our communities or what’s best for the country, he’s talking about inflicting pain if he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s been inflicting pain on the American people since he went into office in January

Well, it's true! He doesn't even understand how his own oath works!! ______ Sen. Gallego flat-out calls Trump 'an idiot,' stating he doesn't understand how the military works or soldiers' oaths. ~Huffpost

Number of days without a major distraction from the Epstein files: 0

A government run by billionaires is not “for the people”. It’s for billionaires. It’s why they’re getting billions in subsidies, tax breaks and government contracts. Meanwhile, working class Americans are losing their jobs and healthcare.

Journalists should be asking questions like "if ACA subsidies go to undocumented immigrants, how much money went out the door for that during your time as OMB director? Why didn't you put an end to it?"

Priorities.

What is Little-Johnson afraid of??

Dr. Jane Goodall, the legendary animal rights advocate, has died at 91.

Taliban's nationwide internet blackout severs women's final thread to education, plunging dreams of online degrees and jobs into digital purgatory—while banning even lab manuals by female authors as "immoral." Absurd chains tighten. #AfghanWomen

Jane Goodall was a hero who used her life to make the world a better place. If the world uplifted and amplified people like her over fascists and billionaires, the world would be a very different place. #3E

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

Commerce Secretary Lutnick contradicts FBI Director Patel's claim that Epstein didn't traffic victims to others. ~Huffpost

It’s a lot going on but please don’t forget about this ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Day One

“DOJ headquarters declined to provide lawyers to assist Halligan, and FBI agents and lawyers working to prepare her were denied their request for a para-legal professional to assist in the presentation, according to two people familiar with the matter.” www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/p...

(1/3) I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

(3/3) Which means that unless the courts accept some kind of wild (and I can't imagine precedented) tolling argument, Halligan, Pam Bondi, and Donald Trump won't be able to fix this even if they had a single working brain among the three of them. SAD!

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power. But health care is a human right. And in America, we have no kings.

Why did the GOP shut down the government? Oh, that’s right—because Fat Satan demanded it.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

In a decision issued October 1, 2025, Reagan-appointed U.S. District Judge William Young includes a postcard sent to him saying “Trump has pardons and tanks ... what do you have?" He responds "Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty. Together, We the People ... have our magnificent Constitution."

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is very, very bad.
