Furloughed and packing out. Hang in there, fellow Feds, and sorry to all the researchers: it’s illegal for me to read email until this is over. NSF has a page of information up for you: www.nsf.gov/shutdown/rec...

Volkswagen workers in Tennessee made history as the first Southern autoworkers to join the @uaw.org.   Now it's time for Volkswagen to negotiate a fair first contract that reflects the massive profits these workers create for the company and keeps good union jobs in Chattanooga.

Ope this is going off Ok folks! My Congressman is a MAGA clown who's on multiple ag committees. As a farmer, I need ag policymakers who tell Trump no. So for every donation to Kim Hardy, who's running against my Congressman, I will post one (1) ag fact. secure.actblue.com/donate/nc07s...

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

The AfD continued its losing streak today in Germany's most populous states. In all three cities where the party had reached the runoff for mayor, it lost in a big way. In Gelsenkirchen 67-31, in Duisburg 79-21, and in Hagen 72-28. More please!

Costco in Roseville has Novavax, maybe not an option on Costco website. I was told to walk in (Mon to Fri) so I ended up getting the needle at Kroger in Sterling Heights (on Schoenherr). Pharmacist there said Novavax was pretty popular: “We’re busy with all vaccines, we’re giving 35 to 40 a day.”

Alright Minnesota. Early voting is happening now! Election day is Nov 4th, Tuesday. On the ballot is mayor, city council members, and other seats. Help hold the line against fascism, go vote! lwvmpls.org/yes-there-is...

While you're sitting there scrolling, a flight from Miami to Pittsburgh is battling hundred-mile-an-hour winds.

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York. Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

The United States Secretary of Defense (aka, Major Pete) is either (a) openly celebrating Nazis and planning to destroy the US government from within or (b) a punk-assed internet troll trying to look tough to offset his gross deficiencies. Neither is good.

Bye, Felicia. Guess showing porn on your work computer at a board meeting was just too much hypocrisy for OK to bear.

911 emergency services are DOWN all across Mississippi and in parts of Louisiana and Alabama, apparently due to one single fiber line being cut. @nickjudin.bsky.social has the latest updates from Mississippi + alternative emergency numbers: www.mississippifreepress.org/911-emergenc...

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

This morning, we filed a FOIA request regarding the removal of the Trump-Epstein statue from the National Mall by the U.S. Park Police. The statute was supposed to be on display until Sunday. We want to know if the administration is hiding art just because Trump doesn’t like it.

Well done @thetnholler.bsky.social

Thank you, #AZ07. We made history — juntos. Now, let’s get to work!

ANDERSONVILLE, TN — Israel Weapon Industries (IWI), an Israel Defense Forces weapons maker, is relocating to East Tennessee with the full support of @govbilllee & Lt. Gov “Randy” Randy McNally

Good to see that my friends on the right are having a normal one

Thomas saw what was happening here in 🇺🇸 earlier & more clearly than almost anyone. It is sad that 🇺🇸 & academia have lost him but great that his voice has found its new home 👇🧵

Why is this happening? I’ll explain. If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households. But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

Tonight's special election to succeed Georgia Republican Brandon Beach in a dark red state Senate seat is getting lots of outside attention. Dem Debra Shigley is the underdog vs. Jason Dickerson, but we'll be watching to see how she does in seat Trump won 67-33 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Bad endorsement from @petebuttigieg.bsky.social here. As someone who spent 14 years living in Seattle, I can say that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social is by far the better choice for Seattle mayor. www.seattleforkatie.com

Sigh...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Barbara Drummond, a Democratic state lawmaker, would be the first Black woman elected mayor of Mobile, Alabama, if she wins in tomorrow’s election. She faces Spiro Cheriogotis, a former county judge running with the support of outgoing GOP mayor.

This is minor if you aren’t an ICE flight tracker, but I’m also revealing here for the first time that the sneaky GIV that has been doing ICE flights to Africa since mid-August is operated by Paradigm Jet Management. I obtained FAA docs proving it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

A lot of teachers are refusing to comply with fascism. For example, 100s of teachers from every state & territory (except ND) bravely signed up to #TeachTruth on #ConstitutionDay, despite the anti-history education laws & executive orders ⬇️ #TeachOutsideTextbook www.zinnedproject.org/news/hundred...

David Wallace-Wells is the best climate journalist working today, arguably the best journalist period, and this is a fantastic summary of where things stand on climate change:

“In the Pentagon press room, there’s a wall of photographs under metal lettering that reads ‘Pentagon Correspondents’ with the faces of the men and women who cover the Defense Department for major news outlets. “On Friday, all 30 slots for photographs were empty.”

Feds just fired a tremendous amount of pepper balls at Reverend David Black, a regular protester here. A number of them hit him in the face and head.

Set aside her being a candidate for Congress, this is a masked thug throwing a small young woman to the ground. Add in that she’s a candidate, and the additional layer of fascism speaks for itself. ICE is treating American cities like battlefields. Via @thebulwark.com youtube.com/shorts/f1w1C...
