The important takeaway is not whether MTG has been redeemed. She hasn't. She's still a nut. That said, MTG has publicly split from Trump. This is a big deal. Now that she has done it, others will find it easier to do so. Trump's base of support is fracturing.

I think there’s this thing people do where when they imagine a 15 year old they think of the 25 year old who would play them on tv. Actual 15 year olds look like children.

American Exceptionalism is a lie that keeps a country's citizens complacent. There is nothing great about a country that has great wealth, yet so many go hungry. There is nothing great about a country that will jail the poor for minor offenses, yet elevate wealthy pedophiles to the Presidency.

The sheer amount of plastic decorations and seasonal tat that shops are full of as we move seamlessly from Halloween to Christmas makes me so anxious. Where do people put this stuff after? Surely they dump most of it. It’s getting worse not better

They’re all just looting the treasury now

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Let’s fight for a Democratic Party that will actually fight for us: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I would be utterly thrilled to rid the Democratic Party of everyone who was pals with Jeffrey fucking Epstein why exactly would I want a child abuser to make government policy

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Corporate Dem apologists are out in force today trying to rewrite this capitulation into a win somehow. They’re back to blaming progressives and ignoring the corruption in their own party.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Name them.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

This isn’t just about the eight Senate Democrats who surrendered. 👇

No, a quarter of the caucus didn't fold. The people who folded were actually carefully chosen because they will suffer the least for selling us all out. What we need to understand is that the Democratic party folded, all of them, they just hope you'll blame a few ppl then forget even that by 28

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted should have known better

It's why they cry "virtue signaling!" whenever they see actual virtue. They cannot fathom that not everyone is a hollow sack of shit like they are.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Cameras out, America. Get it all on video.

Practically every day we encounter someone who still has no idea ICE shot and killed someone in Chicago already. This happened before many people tuned in (and many have already tuned out again).

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

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.

Our health care system is so broken it’s insane. Stop letting them make you believe a better one is impossible. #MedicareForAllNOW

Cool optics bro

Outside Chicago— State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear. A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection. Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

The women married to fascists are usually also fascists. They weren't "tricked" into being with these people. They chose them.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

As health insurance premiums are set to double for millions of Americans and 42 million working families face losing the benefits that keep them fed, the No Kings Alliance is organizing to provide mutual aid and care for our communities. Please join us this weekend: www.mobilize.us/nokings/c/no...

Someone tell the Democratic Party that fascism is, in fact, a kitchen table issue

someone posted after 2016 something like "i just dont know how to convince you that you should care about other people" and i think about that a lot

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Former chair of the Tennessee libertarian party 👇🏽

During my brief foray into Apple, I was enraged because it kept deciding where to save things for me. Now my windows laptop tries to do this too and I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns.

We’ve been programmed to believe that money is the measure of *all* value. So people with more money are better. It’s really that simple.

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Might be worth noting that the DoD cannot just accept giant gifts from any random schmuck.

Sorry ass sons a bitches.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

a noticable shift in culture is that when the original google glass released 13 years ago, one kid in my highschool had one and we all bullied him for how weird it was you could take photos with it and he stopped wearing after 1 day. that anti-invasive tech culture is dead with modern social media

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

this will only continue to escalate, they want a civil war
