Since we‘re talking about ACA subsidies… My sister's doctor made a house call because she‘s dealing with a lingering ear infection. He gave her a shot and a full course of antibiotics. While there, he took a look at her husband and gave him a B12 shot. Total cost: $141. They live in Mexico.

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

🤷🏼

Network edits, you say? Lawsuit time.

“The driver’s family identified him as Carlos Jimenez, 24, a U.S. citizen, and said he was on his way to work at a food bank when the shooting occurred.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

CHICAGO: “They took my son. He’s only 16. I just want my baby back.”

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy. Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

taking an actual wrecking ball to the White House is a little on the nose as far as metaphors go

DHS just got caught telling multiple lies about federal agents shooting a US citizen multiple times newrepublic.com/article/2019...

@mattielubchansky.com I have a question for you: I recall a comic strip several months ago where a gentleman is sitting on a bench reading his newspaper, wearing 1930s era attire. Behind him stands a Gestapo agent. The gent on the bench says "Well, if YOU say they're criminals..."

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky. To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.” It shows up as “removed by author.”

Fabulous!

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too! Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

There were at least 300,000 people at No Kings in NYC. Three Hundred Thousand.

My husband’s ballot came in the mail. Mine did not. I looked into why and… I was purged from the voting roll. PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION.

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Yech! Just say "no" to supplements.

"Residents in Chicago and Portland are living in a police state where masked armed forces kidnap who they want to kidnap, where they have to listen to public officials routinely lie about what is happening in their neighborhoods." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

ICE kidnapped a 13-year-old boy and took him 500 miles from his parents. The local police in Everett, MA, helped ICE. Everett City Council: 617-394-2237. Email: [email protected]

The up-elevator at the Sears was not moving. If I weren't so healthy and in such tip-top shape, it would have been a MAJOR PROBLEM. This is clearly a conspiracy AGAINST ME. SOMEBODY'S GONNA BE IN BIIIG TROUBLE!

This is the fundamental definition of Terrorism.

If ICE or Border Patrol comes to your home or business or place of work or school: Do not admit them unless the warrant is for your specific address and is signed by a judge--not by anyone except a judge.

Friendly reminder not to decorate your house with fake spiderwebs.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital. "We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU" www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

🧵 regarding the shutdown: The Democrats aren’t being clear enough about this but we can be: this shutdown is about saving lives. If we don’t reverse the Medicaid cuts (and the ACA subsidies on insurance bought through the exchanges) that Republicans made this year, people will die.

Sunday reading: I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves. This week’s piece:

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

"Respect the troops!"

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

"In the end, Ezra Klein did not persuade but was persuaded. "

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

Well this didn’t age well did it?

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Late night banging on the doors by authorities was a tactic often used in the Third Reich, but we will hurt the ICE officers' feelings if we call them Nazis. This, it would seem, goes beyond even Kavanaugh's loose standards for reasonable suspicion.
