@indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social I would like as many people as possible to make donations to their local food banks on 10/18/25-a huge cash infusion in to the system that the media can't ignore.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

To be clear: American conservatives and the Republican Party are the enemy of democracy. Let's just get this out there right here and now.

There is a legal distinction, but Miller never studied or practiced law. The supremacy clause also doesn’t make the federal government all powerful- we have a federalist system, which Republicans used to believe in. Now they believe in wielding power, gangsterism, and thuggery.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Spot on.

An interesting point raised elsewhere: these boats that the United States is striking don't appear to have the fuel capacity/storage capacity to even reach American shores.

These strikes are being done without due process and without Congressional authorization. This latest strike demonstrates how urgent it is that Congress pass my War Powers Resolution and reassert its constitutional role.

These are some of the protesters in Chicago arrested by Noem’s secret police.

"I think in a free country we should be able to post onto the internet, 'hey, there are masked agents on Broadway and Vine and not have the government or the tech oligarchs prevent us from doing that.' Shame on you, Tim Cook." @radiofreetom.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Looming over what would otherwise be a beautiful stretch of pacific coastline, this facility represents about 1.5% of the US’s refining capacity. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

I'd argue that Democrats aren't MAKING THIS about the ACA. It IS about the ACA. It is about AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE.

Yet they were still able to groom this cult into what we're seeing today. There's only so many lies monsters can spread b4 ppl start realizing how they've been fooled.

This is an incredibly shitty story! And you misuse your sources.

Are we great yet? JFC

The President is unwell. PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances. The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.” Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

If you don’t want to be compared to Nazis, stop acting like damn Nazis. This is terrifying- where does it end and where are these people being taken? Especially the women and children. The for profit prison industry is raking in millions from this…

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

MT Peeps- We need confirmation of this BS ASAP. We knew Gianforte would need to get into the miix- no way does he not have plans in politics after his stint ends. Helena, Missoula, Butte and Whitefish will be the focus. The Tribal Nations will be at risk because it will be racial profiling. #MTPol

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

1200 souls in Alligator Alcatraz that are gone, unaccounted for, and their families have no idea where they are.

Can we just have healthcare?

Just wrapped up our @housedemocrats.bsky.social caucus meeting. We’re all here—but no Republicans to be found anywhere. Speaker Johnson told them to stay home. Millions of Americans are about to see health care costs skyrocket. I might be new(ish) here, but this is truly astounding.

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

I wonder whether the US will be able to deescalate the violence after this MAGA craziness. It will take years to undo what the MAGA movement has done by accepting violence.

🤣🤣

Chicago is delightful, actually.

"Another Death Reported In US Concentration Camp" There. Fixed it.

We will not give them a war.

Wait til he sees the new dance routines Hegseth cooked up. Just like the Chinese troops but better! And we laughed at the idea of Potemkin villages. wapo.st/3IJUS2s

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what authority does ICE have to manage use of public roads? That sounds like a job for local and state law enforcement. Not ICE.

Bibi still should have just been arrested and not given a second of time to speak.

Just learned that my cousin was summarily fired from his job as Prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. Apparently, someone discovered a blog post of his that was critical of Trump from 2017(!) when he was still in private practice. THIS IS FUCKING INSANE.

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.
