Sen. Brian Schatz, a Democrat from Hawaii, bailed on Bluesky because people kept pointing out how often he would vote for Trump’s bullshit while talking tough. Twitter is supposed to be his safe space where he can talk a big game while rubber stamping fascism so this is clearly devastating for him

NEW: Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced President Trump intends to federalize 300 state National Guard troops “in the coming hours" over objections from state and city leaders. We resolutely condemn this potential escalation. It's a power grab meant to intimidate and torment Chicago's communities.

A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked President Trump’s administration from deploying National Guard troops in Portland.

Pritzker has been great. But these reports that IL state police are assisting ICE, harassing and beating people who record ICE, and helping arresting protesters all seem to be supported by some video. If state cops are helping feds suppress rights over governor’s objections, that’s a big problem.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Trump's speeches on homelessness drip with fear and disgust. His policies are worse.

Furloughed Department of Education workers have discovered their email accounts manipulated to include partisan talking points blaming the government shutdown on Democrats, per @nbcnews.com:

The top 1% in the US have now a record $52 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% have about $4 trillion.

MONDAY: We’ll discuss the Trump Shutdown, the stakes for working families, and fighting back against the regime’s healthcare cuts and chaos. Join @repcasar.bsky.social, @delauro.house.gov, @ezralevin.bsky.social, and many more special guests. RSVP now to submit questions: bit.ly/shutdownstak...

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

The test of a society is how we treat our most vulnerable, and in Silicon Valley that is our unhoused neighbors. Sweeps are little more than performative spectacles of cruelty, and do nothing to help people out of the cycles that put them on the streets in the first place.

Let’s show Trump that the opposition is growing… #NoKings See you on October 18

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

I literally hate to give Newsom credit for anything, he's a snake when it comes to transgender issues, but he's legitimately doing a good thing here. www.latimes.com/california/s...

1. Abigail Spanberger is pulling ahead in the Virginia Governor Race, as her opponent, Earle-Sears blankets the state with anti-trans ads. Now, a new poll shows why those ads are failing: Voters don't care about trans issues. Those who do? They're Democrats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

What are you doing to *hold them accountable* though?????

“The three-judge panel unanimously refused to lift a lower court injunction, meaning the order remains blocked and federal officials are barred from enforcing the order while appeals continue.”

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

Day 2 in D.C. and #AZ07 is still left without a vote and voice here in Washington.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store. The removal came after a direct demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

BREAKING: The First Circuit rejects Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. In the New Jersey-led multistate case, the appeals court, in a 100-page ruling, keeps the nationwide scope of the injunction blocking the EO in place. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

We’re very proud to partner with @50501sanjose.bsky.social and other local progressive organizations to support the No Kings protest in San José on Saturday, October 18, 12-2pm, St James Park. We’re stronger together, and together we’re stronger than Trump!

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

Last night, the ADL took down its "Glossary of antisemitism" which included an entry for the term "globalist," describing it as a far-right codeword for Jews. Hours later, the official DHS account authors a post with a common far-right meme, saying that "globalists" will be denied entry to the US.

The White House is threatening "imminent" mass firings. Down at the ground level though the things you'd expect to see in advance of that simply aren't happening. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/shutd...

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?

I have seen a few Dems tonight start to talk about the bigger picture like power of the purse or that the GOP has no interest in keeping deals or just pulling money in a whim. Will be interesting to see if they can push it to that. Probably giving them too much credit to actually escalate.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and the House. This government shutdown is failed Republican leadership on full display.
