I dunno. As much as I dislike DJT's narcissism, I'm not sure he's doing the wrong thing. I've always been told to stay out of the way if there's a medical emergency, unless I had the necessary training. Which I don't. Sometimes we have to stand back, shut up, and give the medics some space to work.

BREAKING: Federal Judge McConnell orders the Trump administration to provide full SNAP payments to states for November, finding that the administration did not comply with his order. Judge raises Trump's Truth social post as evidence that he intended to defy the order.

There are over 900 rallies, protests, marches, and more this week!!! And last week, there were over 800 events. Though it is a bit early to tell, early signs are pointing to an increase activism post No Kings. THIS WEEK, hundreds of cities are hosting protests on Veterans’ Day.

I keep coming back to this research finding by Chenoweth and Stephan. Our success in opposing the current regime depends on convincing those of its supporters who are wavering to refuse to prop up the authoritarians.

Yassamin Ansari is my Shero. "I'm here outside (@speakermjohnson's office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind."

Smart movement strategy essay here. An effective opposition has to promise to withhold something (money, time, labor, cooperation) not just perform in the streets time.com/collections/...

i’m at damen/belle plaine in chicago’s north center neighborhood for an emergency anti-ice rally. around 7 a.m. this morning, masked federal agents chased a preschool teacher *into* nearby rayito del sol and abducted her—in front of traumatized children, parents, and coworkers.

Thanks also to my friend Avalokitesvara, the Compassionate One, for reminding me that hatred and cruelty are not the paths for me.

I'm a monotheist, but consider Ganesha, the Remover of Obstacles, to be my friend. Thanks, buddy - for all that you have done for us lately.

I am very far from being a fan of the Democratic party's leadership. However, under the circumstances, I'm glad about the #bluewave. Let's follow the lead of outliers such as @aoc.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, @crockett.house.gov, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social .

Last night was huge rejection of Trump's plan to rig midterms: -CA passes prop 50, giving Dems up to 5 new seats -VA elects Dem gov & leg, boosting redistricting chances -ME voters defeat voter suppression initiative -Dems retain majority PA Supreme Court www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Reminder to self: They had tee shirts made for the January 6th insurrection. The tee shirts called for civil war.

I was born during the final days of the Eisenhower years, and at the time was not qualified to form an opinion of him. However, now that I'm a *little* older, it seems that his words make more sense every day.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

I'm really disturbed by those who think that folks in red states who are devastated by the current SNAP situation deserve no compassion. First of all, the aggregated data shows us that not everyone in red states voted for the current administration...
