Just stunning watching the media drool over Trump ‘negotiating’ a ceasefire he and Bibi openly tanked a year ago to hurt Biden. Honestly it’s sickening - how many people does and starved since then?

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔 Privatizing public schools at breakneck speed, filling their pockets with taxpayer funds. www.fox13news.com/news/charter...

That is, hands on, the most succinct, honest citizen interview I've seen coming out of Chicago 😁👍. To. The. Point. FUCK YEAH‼️

I’ve been really shocked how many people on here didn’t know any of this

Amazing what happens when you put Dems in charge! apnews.com/article/nort...

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies. NO MORE BULLSHIT.

ICE is terrorizing people in the United States of America. Why would you call it anything else? That's exactly what it is.

👏👏👏👏 Airports say they won’t play Kristi Noem shutdown video at TSA checkpoints - The Washington Post

We are getting poorer

"Support the troops, y'all!"

Russ Vought is now officially using the government shutdown as a pretext for his continued attempts to permanently gut the civil service. The executive branch cannot unilaterally reduce agency funding that Congress has allocated: This is a serious separation of powers issue.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Mookie Betts has won two playoff games in a row drawing bases loaded walks after the opposing team intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Among the reasons Americans risked it all to get rid of a tyrannical king: “He has obstructed the Admin of Justice…made Judges dependent on his Will…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…kept among us Standing Armies w/o legislatures’ Consent” www.americaamerica.news/p/what-we-sh...

Henceforth, he shall be called Tom "The Bagman" Homan.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

It’s hard to watch. People being treated like they are less than human because of their perceived immigration status. Like this six-year-old girl.

Be there. Saturday, October 18th. www.nokings.org

Demanding papers…yet crying and whining when I call em Nazi Scum

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

"Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lost 90% of his hedge fund’s money and left Wall Street with one of the worst track records in the business."

Kind of like the Dallas ICE shooting

Holy shit the AG ordered an arrest of a mayor independent of his actions

“We hope and pray to God that this brings actual peace.” Palestinian families told The Independent that soldiers had raided the homes of relatives on the eve of the prisoners’ release, warning them not to celebrate. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

"To try to win the support of Senate Democrats, Republicans have suggested they’d promise to *hold a vote* on extending the ACA subsidies after the government reopens, which is very different from actually extending them." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Like so many Virginians, I remember the pure shock when Roe v. Wade fell. Winsome Earle-Sears cheered it on. And now, she wants to ban abortion in Virginia without exceptions for rape or incest.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

“Total destruction”

It’s like suddenly caring about jaywalking, but for ethnic cleansing

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January * 100s starved to death, including kids * Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel * US citizens murdered in the West Bank I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Honestly, Columbus's own writings are damning. One would expect him to cast the Tanio as violent or barberous given his treatment, needing a strong hand to "civilize" them. Instead he writes about their kindness and generosity and selflessness. Then he decides they'll be easy to enslave.

The Atlantic’s journalists will not sign the Pentagon’s press policy. Statement here from editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg:

IDK how anyone could continue to call themselves a journalist without asking this question every single day.

I'm old enough to remember when it was considered political suicide to criticize the United States while on foreign soil. The number of times Donald has crossed that Rubicon are too many to count.

Trump is a lying asshole. He has to ruin everything by lying about everything and making everything about himself. Obama did not hate Israel. And Joe Biden is a proud Zionist, who repeatedly calls himself a Zionist, and who stood by Israel and supported Israel after Oct 7.

John Oliver's segment on Bari Weiss, the Free Press and CBS News was brilliant, thorough, fair - and SHOULD have been devastating to the aforementioned. Bottom line: CBS "News" now goes in air quotes, like Fox "News"... bluevirginia.us/2025/10/mond...

“But we can’t find any air traffic controllers to keep up with flights”

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

DeSantis ally Blaise Ingoglia warned Democratic cities to “expect a knock on the door.” Armed state investigators showed up at a veteran’s home—over a postcard reading “You lack values.” Peaceful dissent in Florida now meets police at the door #DeSantis #Florida www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This isn’t surprising but without proper ID, I can easily see how it is happening. How do we, as citizens, ensure that proper ID and warrants are required by all Federal employees? I know some states are now requiring it.
