Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

Armed agents are chasing teachers through preschools. Toddlers are watching in horror.   This doesn't do a damn thing to make us safer.   Trump is going after people with work permits, not the "worst of the worst."   And he's traumatizing our kids for life.

JD Vance said the quiet part out loud while addressing Israeli press about peace in the Middle East.

Think about this #ICELawlessness. Folks are randomly apprehended without warrants or time to make arrangements for their families. This mom begs for her life because separating her from her kids is like death. Who'll care for them? Will she ever see them again? Speak out, before it happens to you!

It was an honor to be with a living legend and inspiration, Bobby Seale, as we renamed 57th Street, the location of the first Black Panther Party headquarters, to Bobby Seale Way. Mr. Seale inspires us all, now and forever, to fight for justice, self-determination, and liberation. (1/2)

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

As Hurricane Melissa heads for devastating impact on Jamaica, the mainstream press is silent on climate crisis while this admin. is making it much worse. 💔 Time to offer direct support for those in the eye of the storm, & teach about climate justice to reduce threat in future. Free resources ⬇️

Hurricane Melissa could be the worst storm in Jamaica’s history. Supercharged by climate change, its wind speeds doubled in less than 24 hours, and it’s still getting stronger. This is what the climate crisis looks like.

The government is shut down, I hear. But ICE is still out here, snatching kids from schools, staking out bus stops. Following school buses and trying to snag parents as the school buses drop their kids off.

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing. People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.

Early voting starts tomorrow in New York City. I hope people who live there vote for Zohran Mamdani. He is the type of person we need in the Democratic party.

YOU are the leader you’ve been waiting for. ❤️ And I’m right here with you. 🙌 (Pass it on)

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, concluded a marathon speech on the Senate floor Wednesday evening after 22 hours and 37 minutes, saying he was “ringing the alarm bells” on the arrival of authoritarianism under President Trump.

These companies: • Apple • Amazon • Microsoft • Google • Comcast & • Meta are financing Trump’s destruction of the White House’s East Wing. Contact these companies & let them know whether you approve of their helping Trump demolish a landmark. www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p...

The Pentagon announces they are replacing The New York Times’ press credentials with the MyPillow guy’s media outlet.

Great news that @climatecentral.org has resurrected @noaa.gov’s Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database after the Trump administration axed it!

Our latest work on the nitrogenase-like methylthio-alkane reductase, which specifically reduces reduces carbon-sulfide bonds is now out @natcatal.nature.com: doi.org/10.1038/s419.... We find for the first time large #nitrogenase metalloclusters (P- and L-cluster) outside nitrogenases.

#itsacoup Congress is closed and sent home, opposition cities are being invaded, prisons have been built, and the White House is being torn down and sold off.

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

THE WORKING PEOPLE OF THE GLOBE ARE FED UP, TIRED OF WARMONGERING POLITICS, POVERTY, & CAPITALIST POLICIES KEEPING POVERTY AT AN ALL TIME GLOBAL HIGH!. CLIMATE CRISIS WILL MAKE ALL OF US VICTIMIZED PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE WEALTHY - LEST THEY FORGET THEY ARE NOT NOT NOT UNTOUCHABLEL!

This is such BS

For professional reasons I should have listened to that "antifa summit" yesterday, but I learned here DHS Sec. Noem, the govt's authoritative voice on such matters, said -- literally -- 'antifa' is just as organized, sophisticated, and dangerous as Hezbollah, ISIS, or Hamas.

The western media always refers to “the hostages” as those held by Hamas. Apparently they are too lazy to access the readily available evidence, or so imbued with an attitude of dehumanising and ignoring Palestinians (aka racism), that they rarely mention the hundreds of hostages held by Israel.

SHARE if you stand with Letitia James! Because I do!

Call to Activism - Joe Gallina 🚨MAJOR BREAKING: ICE violently handcuffed Chicago Alderman Jessie Fuentes - just for asking them to show a warrant before detaining a man in a hospital. It’s literally her job to stand up for her community. This is what abuse of power looks like. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

NEW: November general elections are around the corner, so it’s time to launch my cheat sheet of what’s on the ballot this fall! I guide you thru the *185* elections I'm watching, & why: lawmakers, governors, judges, DAs, mayors, school boards, & dozens of ballot measures. Explore, share, save:

Since Stephen Miller used Tren de Aragua his excuse to invade an entire apartment building last night, reupping my post on the nesting set of lies he has told about TdA. www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/01/s...

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days. His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest. If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara. It’s time to #FreeMario now!

ICE officers would have given Jesus vinegar to drink and thorns to wear. They would have spat on him and jeered. They would have hammered in the nails. Resist them. Join the fight. #morethanamarch #floodDCNov5andstay RefuseFascism.org

Remember that new study? Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests… And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news: That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

Called Nazis for a reason - Funding of nation wide prisons - Alligator Alcatraz - Ignoring 9-0 ruling by supreme court - Using ICE agents to detain people entirely by skin color - Deploying national guard to suppress protestors - Importing South African Afrikaners of aparhied SA ... Ect... ect...

This is hilarious! 😅🤣 Jimmy Kimmel and Robert de Niro on Trump's new censorship regime! 💥 It's a must watch! [SOUND ON 🔊]

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return! Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY. (Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

"They fired at anyone." "The smell of gunpowder still lingers in my nose." "We endured long nights of terror, turning off our phone lights early, sitting in silence, listening to the buzzing above us like a beast stalking our breath." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Healthcare #Genocide #EthnicCleansing
