On the upside, this administration is rapidly removing the US from the title as world’s biggest arms dealer.

The seven voters interviewed by the NYT was no surprise. All the white guys were “no big deal”. People of color were like WTF? This is a media trick like going to a rural area and interviewing the one toothless overall wearing guy as Everyman.

Ahem

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Every single act of kindness has a lasting legacy.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight. Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

Locals here already raising $ for Thanksgiving dinners for SNAP recipients. Some folks inviting to share their dinners.

Tearing the back off the White House by the current tenant okay with Congress? Taking oligarchs’ money to build a ballroom, what could go wrong? It’s heartbreaking to see how far we’ve fallen.

Discount the efforts of 7 million people? Mika on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social “Overwhelmingly peaceful”, “so called No Kings Rally”. No firsthand reporting. Let’s ask Johnson and Trump and Fox what they think.

1500 turned out in Paducah Kentucky

No Kings 10/18/2025 Pedro Pascal

I sat in the car and wept on news a family of 11 killed by a tank shell because they were outside the yellow line-which the Israelis haven’t painted yet.

If the shutdown drags on to the holidays, families dependent on SNAP won’t have $ for Thanksgiving dinner.

Democratic leadership pointing out their windows- the public isn’t doing enough! Public looking back-one finger pointing at us. Four pointing back.

This is being reported on social media. Be aware, pay attention, take care of yourselves and your friends. Stick together. It’s probably nothing, they just want to intimidate us, but it’s ALWAYS wise to be prepared! 🙏

I’m going to read 1929 with a stiff bourbon within easy reach. The nonchalance is terrifying. Bubbles belong in chewing gum and bathtubs. Not Wall Street.

NPR tote bag grannies will be enforcing these rules. Be-have.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Unmarked vehicles, masked men. Sounds very kidnappy

Kentucky will be busy Saturday

Alabama’s governor, chairing the National Governors Association, recognized how bad it would be for the NGA for Illinois to quit. Other blue state govs would follow suit. States Rights is a good enough excuse. This admin will end someday. NGA will go on.

it reminds me of the Kent State photo.

Does the Secretary of War know about these elite warriors?

I didn’t see this on Fox News. Did you?

Portlandia defying ICE in its uniquely effusive manner. Dancing as a form of protest. Perfect.

I watched Governor Pritzker’s description of the long term plan is the city placements of the military (making us comfortable with troops in our streets) so elections will be “protected” was frightening and prophetic. Combined with the attack on a SC judge’s home…

Good morning! ☕️☀️😎🌺🎶☮️💗

I used to tell clients you can hate a person for what they do. But not for who they are.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

The canceling of blue state projects (which employ people who voted for you) is most recent example of “I am your retribution”. A government determined to hurt its citizens is a failure.

RIP Jane Goodall who defied established orthodoxy to teach us what is important. We are part of the animal kingdom. And the animal kingdom is part of us.

To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law. Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage. Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE

I saw President Zelenskyy praise Moldovans for defying Putin’s campaign of destabilization. Hope comes from unexpected places.

On 12/14/12, Victoria Soto, during the Sandy Hook School shooting, she showed the world true courage. She hid her 1st graders in cabinets & closets. When the shooter came, she told him the kids were in the gym. He shot her on the spot and moved on. She gave her life protecting her entire class. 💙😢💙

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Earth is round Yes: 79% No: 18%

The press conference on why Comey was not indicted will be scheduled post Rapture.

Grand juries are made of citizens from all walks of life. They are not rubber stamps. If the Comey case is weak, no true bill may very well be the return.

It’s bad advice. It’s dangerous advice. It’s irresponsible advice. It’s in line with the take bleach for Covid advice.

Trump didn't demand Jimmy Kimmel's firing because he said mean things about Charlie Kirk. Trump demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired because said mean things about Donald Trump.

Getting behind in energy production is not a catch up in one term deal. Rest of the world is bounding ahead.
