It is what you think it is… they mean to starve the poor folks.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

🗣️ Today marks #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay! A day that shines a light on how deeply inequality runs in our economy. For every dollar paid to a man w/o a disability, a woman w/ a disability earns only 56 cents. Take action! https://action.momsrising.org/sign/disabled-womens-equal-pay-day-2025/

The Hind Rajab Foundation have identified the IDF soldiers who murdered 6 year old Hind and her family, & their names have been submitted to the ICC. Professor William Schabas discusses the possibility that they'll face prosecution.

@heatmap.news is great but in case you aren't a subscriber—which, if you're interested in green power you should be—here is a piece from @billmckibben.bsky.social for us on the same subject: www.motherjones.com/environment/...

They are firing pepper balls into the faces of clergy, again www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

1/ Nurses are the heart of our health care system, but cuts to Medicaid, skyrocketing premiums, and the government shutdown are making it harder for them to care for our neighbors.

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them. Now, thanks to his shutdown, millions of Americans in at least 25 states will lose access to food stamps on November 1st. The perfect storm of cruelty.

A middle finger to erasure. More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

I wrote about what the fact that Trump is building his own palace means for free and fair elections and democracy. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This is very good

Day 23 of the #GOPShitdown y’all. Tomorrow is the first full missed paycheck for Feds who are working without pay or furloughed. So let’s keep sharing resources. If you know of resources to assist with bills, cash, groceries, gas to get to the jobs that aren’t paying us, please drop them below ✊✊✊

ICE in Portland: “Dear God, they’re Jazzercising in formation! Light ‘em up!”

Die Neue Reichskanzlei ("New Reich Chancellery"), Berlin, c. 1939: (1) reception hall; (2) main dining hall; (3) entrance to the office of the Führer, with SS guards; (4) office of the Führer.

I called my local Home Depot and also the national line. The man was very glad I called. The line is recorded and on AI, so he said my comments were recorded, and thank you. Please call 1-800-466-3337 and leave a calm message

Exactly. What is with the silence?

This administration is really generous with the visual metaphors

Warren: So now Trump wants to give Argentina $40 billion. He talked about how tough things are for the people in Argentina and how hard they’re fighting for their economic survival. Look around America. Look at all the farmers sitting on soybeans they’ve got no buyer for now.

Javelin missiles are heat-seeking, single man-portable fire-and-forget medium-range antitank weapon system designed to defeat all known and projected threat armor Why The Fuck is ICE getting them ?? They cost $60-70,000 a pop WTF is Noem getting 2 jet planes ?

SNAP assistance should be enough to cover 2000 calories a day of HEALTHY food PER PERSON. Yes I want the government to make sure everyone has wholesome, tasty, filling meals. The problem isn't that people need assistance with food, it's that the assistance is a freaking joke.

happening now: border patrol commander greg bovino and at least a dozen armed, masked agents have formed a line residents at 26th and ogden in cicero. federal agents for weeks have repeatedly targeted the nearby home depot parking lot. local police are also on scene, according to a facebook live.

The Trump administration stopped updating a database tracking the costs of the country’s worst disasters. A group of scientists has revived it. And low and behold, the disasters are climbing. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/c...

Trump keeps admitting in public that he's directly running all DOJ operations—which would include deciding to keep the Epstein Files hidden to protect himself—and media keeps pretending not to hear him. Here, he states unambiguously that he *personally decides* on all DOJ payouts to alleged victims:

These costs are sucking chest wounds to the average American, and will be impossible to weather. This, alongside the AI bubble, the housing market bubble, the loss of jobs, encroaching inflation, and every other batshit thing Trump does, will lend itself to a cataclysmic cascading failure.

More than 420 anti-science bills attacking longstanding public health protections – vaccines, milk safety and fluoride – have been introduced in statehouses across the U.S. this year, part of an organized, politically savvy campaign to enshrine a conspiracy theory-driven agenda into law.

Our story so far: Trump orders minions to destroy the Capitol on Jan 6. He's banned from YouTube. He returns to the White House. He sues YouTube for banning him. They settle for $22 million. That money is used by Trump to destroy the East Wing www.cnbc.com/2025/10/22/t...

During these terrible times, ordinary people are doing extraordinary things to fight for democracy. I got the chance to talk with Robert Held, an attorney in Chicago, who is using his training and skills (and a good bullhorn) to defend the rights of Americans. youtu.be/bkJrVdVBJcs?...

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) warns that the $230M payout won't be public: “Our reading is that, even though this is a private settlement, it doesn’t have to be disclosed anywhere until there is an accounting of where all the money has gone at the end of the year." newrepublic.com/article/2021...

So White House construction companies: ACECO (demolition): Deleted LinkedIn and Instagram profiles, took down their website with contact information entirely Clark Construction (construction): Limiting Insta comments and hiding or deleting critical ones. Do these companies think we'll all forget?

Wtf

You can't help but wonder how much bigger the massive No Kings protests would have been if people had seem him tearing down the White House beforehand.

Elect POS leaders, and you’ll get this crap.

It doesn’t “resemble” a Nazi symbol. It *is* a Nazi symbol (which he is reportedly to have acknowledged by telling people “This is my Totenkopf”). Worse, it isn’t just any Nazi symbol, it is the one used by the SS officers running the concentration camps.

U.S. REP. DELIA RAMIREZ (D-IL): "We are very clear that the greatest threat to public safety in our communities, it's called ICE. It's called CBP. And unfortunately, even USCIS is being weaponized at this moment. ICE is operating as a terror force..."

Pantries and meal programs exist everywhere and this is where people who lose SNAP will turn. No need to reinvent the wheel. These organizations need money and volunteers.

The GOP-led Congress has been out of session for too long. The House is not shut down. They’re getting paid and should be working.

“.. they are just grabbing people, putting them in cuffs,” said Kaden Cummings, 23, who witnessed the arrests. “Nobody’s identifying themselves .. There’s no due process .. It’s just straight to the back of a van if you’re African on Canal.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/n...
