during times like these, organizations are often able to use $ more efficiently than an individual can if you have the ability to give and want to help Venezuelans, donating to the Venezuelan red cross is one way you can make your donation maximize its impact www.ifrc.org/national-soc...

WHAT IF #FELON TRUMP WASN'T JUST A CLIENT, BUT ACTUALLY A CORE PART OF EPSTEIN'S TRAFFICKING MACHINE ITSELF HE OWNED MISS TEEN USA. HE RAN AN INTERNATIONAL "MODELING" AGENCY... DECADES OF ACCESS TO UNDERAGE GIRLS!!! WHY ISN'T 🇺🇸MEDIA ASKING THIS?! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #PedophilesMagaCult 1/2🧵

If anyone asks: none of you saw =ANYTHING=.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

It feels scummy to say "a child offender" in this headline when what they actually mean is a child was arrested then executed.

Wikipedia is worth $10/month because if it dies so does reliable knowledge. Cough up if you can -- it's cheaper, more interesting and morally superior to Netflix.

Can't believe we've let a few companies collect most of the world's capital and then also let them repeat the conditions for the great depression (IE an evil circle of debt and investment-with-no-return)

1.) I do not have money like that 2.) I am disabled, which severely impacts which countries would even accept me In other words unless a company is sponsoring me to move & paying for all of my stuff, it's just not gonna happen.

if you are German, you really need to yell and scream at your MEPs about chat control! Germany has been flip flopping on chat control constantly. Their vote carries an enormous amount of weight on this issue! we can win this, but we need to make our voices heard! contact your representatives!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 
Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal. 
If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !

This is an Epstein shutdown.

Note again that the CRs don’t have anti-lgbtq provisions, those are in the main appropriations bills which the CRs are meant to buy time for negotiating over. Punchbowl is reporting some of the approps bills may be targeted for passage as “minibus” bills. punchbowl.news/article/fina...

Democrats are holding strong on the shutdown, which means that this will likely go into next week. This is showing signs of being a very protracted shutdown. Nobody wants to vote for the “clean CR” without the ACA protections and protections against Trump’s rescissions.

When youre writing letters or making phone calls to paypros/reps, its worth remembering that you dont have to stick to 1 style of formatting the info. You dont gave to write a proper letter with an opening argument, main body and conclusion. You can write a numbered list or bullet points. Its fine!

Paypros are still throwing their weight around. Now's a good time to pick up yelling at them again!

this canadian petition targeting the C2 surveillance bill still needs a lot of signatures! canadian and canadian residents, make sure youre signing and sharing this one too!

People should be just as pissed about this as Kimmel.

90% of the reports I see foreground GOP excuses for shutting down a government *it* runs. Dem replies appear late in reports and are brief. There's no correction to GOP lies. Or context—like Trump aiming to stop an Epstein Files vote and fire more public servants. Shutdown coverage is a trash fire.

J.D. Vance is now on TV saying you can tell who is illegal in America by looking at them. Caroline Leavitt is saying that if Dems agreed to a continuing resolution six months ago—which they did *to give Republicans six months to fix the healthcare horrors they created*—they should agree again. Huh?

GOP lies are coming fast now. They didn't have a clean funding bill; they refused to keep government open unless $90 million in our cash was released for *their* security details. Dems said no, we're not putting ourselves first, we're putting the working class's healthcare—which Trump trashed—first.

Gaming-Only journalists and analysts are pretty accurately calling this EA acquisition what it is: a doomed idea that will cause untold human misery and kill the company and probably bury all its IPs Tech/Gaming Journalists keep trying to find a silver lining. Huh. Curious. Strange. Odd. Quirky.

Shutdown is on. Only 3 Democrats voted for the clean CR, which means we are now officially heading for a government shutdown.

And a slight side note: I'm very happy to see Democrats willing to play hardball and having a spine on Republican demands in general, even with the Republican CR. It's good to see them fighting for ACA provisions and against rescissions.

Today your voices were heard. We will need to be loud throughout the shutdown and continue to put pressure: No anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in the final negotiated bill. Only clean bills that don't throw trans and queer people under the bus. Kicked butt today y'all. Good work.

It's midnight. We are officially in a government shutdown. No clean CR was passed. Congress moves on to negotiating during what could be a protracted closure. Thank you all for calling to let them know that whatever gets negotiated, anti-LGBTQ provisions cannot be in the final appropriations bill.

It's important to note that this year's NDAA is filled with anti-trans provisions on the House side. They are horrific. And we will watch those throughout the appropriations fight along with all of the other provisions in the House R approps bills. bsky.app/profile/erin...

Last December, Senate Dems had no anti trans provisions in their NDAA and the house did. Many thought the Senate Dems would stop those provisions. They didn’t. Last minute, 37 Dems voted for it. We must take no chances with the appropriations fight. My story from last December.

As of September 27, Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by a mere 9,968 registered voters. At the current rate of change, Republicans will eclipse Democrats by early 2026, if not sooner. www.theassemblync.com/politics/dem...

9. If a CR fails, we would be entering into a shutdown which could be protracted and where negotiations on the trans provisions (and all other poison pills and policy priorities for Dems and Rs) may begin. And if a CR succeeds, the same will happen, but just with a few weeks of breathing room.

7. Whether the government stays open or shuts down in a continuing resolution, the stakes remain the same—and trans and queer people cannot afford to be sidelined in the dealmaking. It will take unrelenting pressure on lawmakers, especially Senate Dems, to stop a bargain that trades away our rights.

6. Queer and trans people have a lot of questions today. Chief among them: What is an appropriations bill, and how does it work? Will Democrats cave on transgender rights to keep the government open? What exactly is a continuing resolution? This article answers those questions.

5. Meanwhile, even if this succeeds, transgender rights are still on the chopping block in the final appropriations fight, which could be anywhere from now if we get no CR to a little under 2 months from now if we get one.

4. In the eleventh hour, negotiators are scrambling over a clean “continuing resolution” without the anti-trans riders and without other Republican poison-pill priorities to keep the government open, but only for a short time, and success is far from certain.

3. This time, LGBTQ+ people—especially transgender people—are watching with particular alarm. Dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ riders tucked into appropriations bills threaten to gut transgender healthcare nationwide and fuel even harsher crackdowns on many areas of life under the Trump administration.

2. After months of brinkmanship over a government shutdown, the deadline has arrived—less than 24 hours remain to avert what could become a disruptive closure of federal operations. As of Tuesday, most political watchers believed the country was barreling toward its first shutdown since 2018.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

The deadline for this petition is october 28th, so we only have a few more weeks to pump those numbers If youre canadian, sign this petition amd share it around! Get friends and family to sign!

I've seen losers trying to downplay the positive effect of the Gov shutdown for w/e reason. "ICE is paid for already" is the big one That isn't true. It's budgeted for, and it's an extremely expensive operation they need all that money for to push new hiring. It has to be rationed now. Thats good.

Important to remember that Donald Trump is smirkily joking about here is premeditated mass murder in international waters—an unambiguous war crime—with some of the victims already apparently having been confirmed to be civilian fishermen

Sent an email to my reps, The link has direct email access to representatives who are undecided. This is super important guys

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Are you in the military? Remember: your oath is to the constitution, and to follow legal orders only! It has become clear that the President may try to deploy you to unlawfully oppress your friends and neighbors. Remember your oath, and defend your integrity!

We won’t let the conversation around gun violence go away. I’m committed to passing legislation that meets the expectations of Minnesotans. Our offer to Republicans addresses mental health, school safety, support for law enforcement, and most importantly, common sense gun laws.
