these people need to all be forcibly sat down and made to watch 15 minutes of footage of a person or animal with rabies

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Dems need to do more to broadcast that they're taking actions like this.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

You mean, "hiding" Blackout means hiding bad numbers.

I’m not sure why Brazil was a red line, but this is a good reminder that it would only take a handful of Republican senators to rein in this administration on MANY issues.

Antifascist mutual aid request:

We are offering one time payments to disabled folks in the South who will not receive their SNAP benefits this month. If you need help, please find more information and details at ndsdj.org/snaphelp. If you’d like to donate to the fund, go to ndsdj.org/snapdonate We take care of each other ❤️

Donald Trump's approval rating in our tracker has fallen to -18, the lowest it has ever been (lower than any point in his first term) www.economist.com/interactive/...

The opposite is true. When you cease payments for a program like SNAP, your intention is to create the greatest possible immediate pain in order to generate leverage. It’s fascinating he’d blurt out “pain dials” publicly like this, indicating possible consciousness of guilt.

HURRICANE MELISSA SUPPORT FOR JAMAICA 🇯🇲 Here are a few Jamaican orgs that are doing relief work - please donate and/or share! Food for the Poor Jamaica: www.foodforthepoorja.org Helping Hands Jamaica: helpinghandsjamaica.com/donate Dar Al Islam Jamaica: donorbox.org/dar-al-islam...

Since 2013, five tropical cyclones would have been category 6 - if the traditional hurricane scale didn’t stop at 5. Unlike, say, the Richter earthquake scale and the Celsius scale. Hurricanes are getting so intense, scientists propose a Category 6 #Melissa www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024...

⚠️ Food banks are undergoing loss of federal funding in advance of SNAP payment stoppages which will dramatically increase demand for food from the pantries the banks supply.

Hurricane #Melissa is approaching landfall in Jamaica with maximum sustained winds of 180mph:

We are being ruled by cruel sociopaths. Full stop.

💡 @kenmartin.bsky.social

The US Navy has crashed an F-18 and a Seahawk helicopter into the South China Sea while operating off the USS Nimitz, Reuters reports. All crew members have been recovered.

In advance of Trump shutting down SNAP, this is a way you can help your neighbors.

Looks like eastern Jamaica is already getting hit by the “dirty” side of Hurricane #Melissa, which means flooding has probably begun. The storm has intensified to a Cat 4 and is expected to become a Cat 5 by landfall on Tuesday AM. My thoughts are with all who are in or have loved ones in Jamaica.

…

if you have any ability to do so this is the time to contribute to your local food bank

Every single thing this administration/"president" does, says, and stands for is the exact opposite of what is healthy, moral, safe, and right for anyone ever. Everything.

“.. perhaps the most cruel and unlawful offense the Trump administration has perpetrated yet — freezing funding already enacted into law to feed hungry Americans while he shovels tens of billions of dollars .. to Argentina and into his ballroom.” @politico.com #SNAP www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump owns this. MAGA-GOP owns this. #ProLifeMyAss

Trump will not destroy her memory.

The trial of Soldier F centred on shootings in Glenfada Park on Bloody Sunday. The activities of Soldier F were carefully examined by the Bloody Sunday Inquiry 15 years ago. Here's what we know. http://jrnl.ie/6854092

“Although I spent many of my formative years living in the White House, I always knew it wasn’t my house. It was my home, absolutely, but not my house. The White House belongs to the American people, and that’s why we call it the People’s House.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Many disabled people are food insecure and lack the capacity to do more than heat something up. (When I went to our local food bank, my favorite donations were dried fruits and a giant bag of shelled walnuts. You want to think both nutrient and/or calorie dense.) Seriously though: DONATE MONEY.

People who donate often get prescriptive about what they think poor people should eat rather than donating foods they eat—and not everyone who is poor has the capacity to cook. Few will eat canned green beans, but you can bet they’ll eat PopTarts, canned meats, soups, and jam for the peanut butter.

If you want to find a local food bank, you can use the website below. If you’re donating, it’s best to donate money. If you want to donate food, PLEASE donate food you or your family would actually eat, including things like breakfast cereals and snack foods. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

We showed you the ruins. We showed you the crimes. We showed you the murders. Transparency is our middle name!

If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall? What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Someone do this.

shocked the requirement wasn't 14 min and 88 seconds

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

Destruction of the East Wing. Destruction of the rule of law. Destruction of health care, education, civil rights, voting rights, human rights, LGBTQ rights, women's rights. Destruction of civility and morals. Yeah, symbolic as hell.

The imagery of the destruction of the White House would be good material for @democrats.org. Instead of “Build that Wall,” Trump voters are getting “Build that Ballroom!” (Add in the gilded Oval Office and contrast it all with the cuts to healthcare, SNAP, etc. There’s just so much to work with.)

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Keep 'em coming

Hey, but at least $40 billion that could have gone to US health care or other programs is being wasted, right? 🤦🏻‍♀️

NEW RESEARCH confirms: Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right. (I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...
