🧵 These two! You won’t regret reading this thread. I can’t let Friday end without wishing the Obama’s a Happy Anniversary! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Do you mind if I brag a little bit? I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful couple when I was Oprah’s makeup artist back in 2007. #SheShed #Pinks

👇 Sending ICE into blue states will have the same effect. 😖

Please don't decorate your property with Halloween "cob web" It is the cause of entrapment of birds that end up struggling to free themselves. Unable to escape the "cob web" material, they become exhausted and die. Thank you for saving our birds! #BlueEarth #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks #ProudBlue

MAGA is trying to steal congressional seats in Texas and other GOP states! That’s why Californians are rallying behind Proposition 50 to counter Trump’s ability to steal 5 seats in Texas — and give Americans a fighting chance for fair representation in Congress. #YesOnProp50 #DemCast #MacISCC

Both Benny and Donny seem to have a taste for attacking civilians on boats. Fortunately, no civilians were hurt this time.

1. NEWS Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly approved military operations on two vessels early last month that were part of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian supporters, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

A federal appeals court in Boston ruled on Friday that the Trump administration cannot withhold citizenship from children born to people in the country illegally or temporarily, adding to the mounting legal setbacks for Trump’s birthright order.

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Republicans control the House, Senate and White House - and so the government has been shut down because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that protects our health care and keeps costs from rising. Tell Congress to cancel the GOP healthcare cuts here: https://bit.ly/3IDECjz

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage. A fire sale on farmland.

“The Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation into Des Moines Public Schools over its employment practices, the agency said in a news release Tuesday” So…they kidnapped him then forced him to resign by extorting the school district with an “investigation”? www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/u...

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

After years of hyperventilation about TikTok’s impact on privacy, propaganda, and national security, TikTok is likely being sold to a bunch of Trump’s billionaire technofascist buddies who don’t believe in privacy and want to use it to spread right-wing propaganda. www.techdirt.com/2025/09/30/t...

Trump opens with a threat to the generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent … Have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud ... If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. But you just feel nice and loose."

Guess what folks … Italy has had it with their government & their backing Israel. The people went on a general strike and guess what? They shutdown the country and the Italian government suddenly grew a conscience. THE US NEEDS TO DO THE SAME! We’ve got plenty of reasons why. #GeneralStrike

Old enough to remember the treatment Biden got…

Excellent piece @kornetzke.bsky.social He lays it bare on what is actually going on.We are in a class war and the wealthy use culture wars to keep us divided and focused on each other versus those truly screwing us over. Worth a few minutes to read #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

ICE sealed off Beach Street with an unlawful fence which forces protesters to be at a driveway that is ripe for kettling. Yesterday, they shot pepper balls, flash bangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets at 9 AM. It will almost certainly be worse tonight. And used as an excuse for ICE overreach. 3/6

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Boy, you guys sure showed Kamala, eh?

Please repost this…. Thank you.

It's insanity

Excellent piece. But I find myself sickened over the debate over "intent." I'm no lawyer, but I'm a human being. Seeing the people of Gaza maimed, killed, starved, deprived of shelter and safety-- what can you call it but war crimes and genocide? www.npr.org/2025/09/25/g...

This is only part of the price we pay for their entitlement. How many white men have embedded inequality and corruption in our government? Thank God for the decent men who use their influence for good.

Just so we’re clear!👇🏾 #SheShed #Pinks

This only happens to you once

BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.

US Attorney fired for requiring that ICE follow the law. Read that again. US Attorney terminated for requiring ICE follow the law. This is your America. Great job dumbasses www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A $7,000 health care bill could soon soar to $24,000. Notices are coming. Democrats are fighting to stop this disaster. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs explode. Let’s be clear: Republicans OWN this crisis. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

All eyes are on Texas as Democrats seek to regain control of the Senate. Colin Allred is the one to beat. He's ready to end corruption, fight for the working class, and work to curb soaring costs. Let's vote for someone who'll work for the people. Vote for Colin Allred U.S. Senate, Texas

The most radical, right wing Supreme Court since Roger Taney sat on the bench is going to take up Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship And given the way SCOTUS has mostly given Trump what he wants This is a very dangerous time to be a Person of Color in America apple.news/AJn3_UZpaSza...

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

I received this letter from #SenJeffMerkley in response to my concerns about #ICE. Some of this is information I didn’t know. 😳 (See ALT TEXT for the most relevant parts of the letter.)

If you are a U.S. taxpayer, know that $20 billion are about to be used to bailout Argentina’s IMF backed libertarian economic experiment of shock doctrine and austerity, which took only a year and a half to complete collapse like a house of cards.

He grew up in organized crime. It is his first language.

Fox is cranking up the heat!!🤬 But here's an update from MSNBC that discredits the original ICE statement! NO MOTIVE IS KNOWN AND THE WOUNDED ARE DETAINEES! IMPORTANT FACTS! 🚨 This is a dangerous situation! Seriously!! youtu.be/gnG3QptLl78?...

Marjorie Taylor Greene suggests without evidence 'trans' people shot up ICE office

Excellent substack with a list of wins, evidence that we have good reason to be hopeful and bold. Is the Tide Turning? open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...
