Billionaires love it when we’re busy arguing with each other. Meanwhile, they're rigging the system to hoard money and power while we fight over the scraps. We’ve got more in common than they want us to think.

wearing slippers and pajamas to the airport is antifa now

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

If all of the Epstein news is triggering to you, here's some help. ♥️ rainn.org

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy. Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United. The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Congratulations to Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on convincing millions to believe in politics and the future of the Democratic Party! His seemingly-longshot win represents a stunning rejection of the outdated, loser version of the Democratic Party that brought Trump to power twice.

This says it all.

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani. Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money. That is how we win.

AOC: "We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country. And we will send in a wave of Democrats that not bow to this administration, but stand up to this administration."

Yes!

FOOD BANK DIRECTOR: “For every meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. There’s no way we can meet that gap. We were not built to do this.” (@TNDemocrats are imploring @GovBillLee to fund SNAP with the billions in reserves as other states are, but he refuses)

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

Excellent piece

The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

“The current protest movement has already reached deeper into Trump country than at almost any point during the first Trump administration.” A new Harvard study shows that 2025 protests are likely the most geographically widespread in US history.

🇺🇸 We’re better than fear, we’re braver than billionaires, we’re bigger than ever — and we’re going to win.

Agreed.

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

If we don’t speak up for the communities that Trump is terrorizing right now, we will be next. His authoritarianism will come for all of us in the end. https://youtu.be/tkaBlgXR8tY?si=bJcUxXZWMrae4kwx

"I stand on solid rock and I will not bow, I will not break, I will not bend, I will not capitulate, I will not give in, I will not give up." New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks out after being indicted by the Trump DOJ.

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

The only way we save our country is through our numbers. Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close. Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive. Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers. He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them. His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors. And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Kash was begging for a Community Note

Thanks, New Yorker

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

MAGA thinks the majority will sit there and just accept masked, armed ICE agents to continue terrorizing their streets. They are wrong. Dangerous, desperate overreach by a weakened Administration.

ICE is running recruiting ads with huge bonuses and student loan forgiveness (socialism?!) to join them in grabbing “the worst of the worst” — but the numbers show that is very much not who they’re grabbing (or holding)

good morning

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Everyone should read this. Because every word needed to be said. (gift article). www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

Charlie Kirk’s memorial was Christian nationalism’s biggest moment. In his video, @garrisonhayes.bsky.social points out how this is the Christian nationalist hallmark: fusing the sacred and the secular, where praise and partisanship become strange bedfellows.

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

October 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave — but if we want to be free, then we’ve got to be brave. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.
