Stunning result in the Netherland, as the lib-progressive D66 party, led by Rob Jetten, who is 38 & gay, wins big over Geert Wilders’ right-wing party. “Jetten’s resolutely optimistic, high-energy campaign struck a chord with Dutch voters.” Imagine that?! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

ICE are the real evil monsters. They act like zombies, following illegal orders, ready to detain anyone that is not white!

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago: “Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”

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.

I’m shocked.

this isn't The Big Plunge but it is sort of jarring that we're all sitting around waiting for the market to crash at some point because, as people with brains, we can see that all this is built on air and promises and not anything real

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Six days left and a whole lotta doors to knock. Let's get it: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I am on a mission to prove that the Earth is flat. After circling the globe five times I can confirm that the edge of the world is much further away than I initially thought.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

NEW: The Idaho Medical Freedom Act, which makes it illegal to require almost anyone to take a vaccine, test or other “medical intervention,” comes amid a national measles outbreak larger than the U.S. has seen in decades. By @audreydutton.bsky.social

"The way Indigenous Peoples and the rest of the world look at forests is very different. The world sees forests as commodities—but for us, they are life itself. When we defend our territories, we defend the planet."

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

The projections still fall short of the 60% reduction in emissions needed to prevent global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

Another big reason to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News www.motherjones.com/politics/202... With the acquisition of Paramount/CBS by Oracle's Larry Ellison and the hiring of uber right ideologue Bari Weiss, no one should bother tuning in to CBS news. It's just another Fox clone

⚡️⚖️ Zelensky: "I received a small spoiler from MFA Sybiha that the Netherlands has made an official decision to be the country of origin of the tribunal to open an office, to open a tribunal against the crimes of the Russian Federation."

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common? They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

As the country’s second-longest government shutdown hits day 27, air traffic controllers are calling in sick and “wearing thin”—leading to flight delays in major U.S. hubs.

HEEERRRREES another one !!

It’s worth noting that if a parent took a minor child across state lines without the permission of the other parent, that would be considered kidnapping. But I guess that’s okay when it’s the federal government. A 13 year old abducted by ICE. What are we doing? open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...
