As an election pollworker in IL, not a huge fan of partisan pollwatchers, especially after some of the abusive behavior by GOP pollwatchers I've observed the last 2 elections. But - Dems need to have lots of well-trained pollwatchers at elections moving forward to protect voting rights for all.

very important thread on the absolute nazi shit happening at ICE 👇

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

NEVER FORGET: In July 2025, the GOP passed the BBB with $75B in additional, multi-year funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). BUT the GOP Congress will NOT negotiate to EXTEND ACA Subsidies for 20M+ Americans for $32B. #GOPPriorities

A U.S. citizen and student was violently detained by ICE near the school in Chicago They want community members too afraid to resist out of fear that they might be next. As ICE occupations worsen, communities have proven to be a lynchpin to resisting ICE. We must build up community solidarity.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Their intentions are clear we have to stand against every move they make to turn Trump into a tyrant, from military in the streets to desecrating our history.

If you're considering a run for president in 2028 your highest priority needs to be fighting to ensure that the midterm election is free and fair. There's no 2028 without a legitimate 2026 where the results are respected. Something I pray that everyone with presidental ambitions understands.

Lock him up!

Whether true or not, brought a smile to my face, so thanks for the image!

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

ICE agents are such fucking snowflakes.

His is a world in which autocratic leaders make deals over the heads of the people, extrajudicial force is legitimized, conflicts simmer so long as they are kept off screens and corruption intermingles with diplomacy. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/o...

Happy Saturday.👇

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

when all this is over we need to have a pretty serious conversation about the utter moral failure of the elite of this country

MAGA keeps saying Trump is “saving taxpayers money” and “paying down the national debt.” If that were true, why did the U.S. national debt just surpass $38 trillion, a record high in American history?

😕

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

“While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased ‘guided missile warheads and explosive components.’ … It’s not immediately clear what part of a good-faith deportation operation would involve localized destruction and murder.” They’re building an army.

How do we help those suffering most?

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump. Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!

Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes a $39B annual business tax break for millionaires. For that same amount, we could extend the expiring ACA tax credits for a year — and still have $7B left over. Priorities.

Standing up to a wannabe dictator is patriotic. Protecting health care for Americans is patriotic. Defending workers who make our country run is patriotic. Saying no to troops occupying our cities is patriotic. Peacefully protesting to protect our democracy is patriotic.

“Nothing will be torn down." -- Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary

ABSOLUTELY NO on Trump getting paid back for his legal expenses. Just because the cases were dropped because he was reelected does not mean the cases were bogus - they were not!

Cost of the Argentina bailout Trump is trying to finance: $40B. That same amount could fund almost two years of extended ACA subsidies, or two years of full SNAP benefits, or nearly all of the annual Medicare cuts from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Priorities.

Damn those Liberals....

This is how I felt at No Kings, tbh.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Dems can't trust the GOP to reinstated the tax credits and Medicaid cuts if they agree to reopen the govt before getting the agreement - in writing with no recession option!

We want the Epstein list released But, I also want the donor list for the Heritage Foundation made public These people who decided that AMerica circa 1859 was more vital to have than freedoms deserve to made known

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

Hey Mike Johnson! Where’s the Hate Rally ? I’m thinking you’re outnumbered. Get your ass back to work . We are sick of paying you while you stay home ! Nancy Pelosi worked circles around you you passed 1 BIGLY UGLY BiLL ! You should learn how to legislate instead of take orders from a LOSER

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

Norway has stepped in — not with campaigns, but with craftsmanship. Engineers have created floating ice pods designed to replace the vanishing habitat. They're made from biodegradable, non-toxic materials. Insulated to stay cold under the Arctic sun. Grooved to keep seals from slipping.

I feel like George Santos exemplifies a lot of what’s broken in the “justice” system. He was a corrupt politician, he briefly experienced the horrors of inhumane prison conditions, then the corrupt president moved to yank him out—and his victims received none of what they were owed in the process

“I tried to get a Portland frog outfit and they were sold out until November!” Frogs, axolotls, and at least one giant pink hippo made its way through Manhattan on Saturday, alongside thousands of others, part of the nationwide “No Kings” rallies. Follow for more No Kings coverage!

Look at how much we hate America! Look at the violence!

Pictute doesn't begin to show numbers here in Gurnee, IL. In June we had 4500; estimate today is 8,000-10,000!
