A reminder that if you are called to be part of a jury in a political prosecution you have a right to refuse to convict on the grounds the prosecution is unjust. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I wonder how many people will stop by and talk to her. I'm betting no one will because they know she's correct.

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

I have never understood why the government is not desperately pushing all of my neighbors in FL to slap some rooftop panels on buildings.

THIS IS SO GOOD

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

More good news.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

If you’re reading this you outlived Dick Cheney! Congratulations!

Buckling now would make this entire painful endeavor worthless -- pain for pain's sake, without value, without resolution. So if one of these senators is yours, yell at them not to buckle.

Jerry Demmings (Val’s husband) is running for Democratic nomination for governor. Curious to hear his platform.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

“WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE NEED WELFARE & FOOD ASSISTANCE?” The minimum wage is obscenely low. If it had kept pace with worker productivity, as it did from WWII 'til Reagan, who began the GOP wreckage of the middle class Trump is completing, the minimum wage now would be just under $25 an hour.

For Halloween, I’m going as a political dissident in a nascent authoritarian regime. No costume needed. How about you?

Literally admitting that he's starving kids to put political pressure on his opponents.

Window shopping for 2026 ACA marketplace plans is open for almost all states, and open enrollment is only days away. Millions of marketplace enrollees are seeing 2026 premiums spike due to expiring premium tax credits. See our paper with state-level estimates: tinyurl.com/zndd97k7

This man? Not actually related to the Tanners at all, yet they call him "Uncle Joey"

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Watching Melissa advance on Jamaica with those winds is scary af. Stay safe all!!

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

You can donate to the Chicago Street Vendor Relief Fund to help buy out a local street vendor’s cart for the day. They’ve partnered with a bike patrol / cycling solidarity group, which rides around buying out the inventory then distributing the food at homeless & unhoused encampments & shelters.

Hey. So now that SNAP is being cut and people will be struggling further to feed their families, I wanted to share a really good resource for finding food pantries in your area you can utilize or support depending on your situation. Go to www.gethelp.org and then go to “food” & type in your zip!

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Called my reps and complained about everything. I have no faith they care, but they at least have to listen to me tell them I think they are doing a bad job.

USians: I did not know this, but I had some truly bizarre denials, so I will keep this in mind. You might want to too -

This isn’t some kid, like Johnson is trying to say. This was in the office of Rep Taylor’s staffer. There’s no way people didn’t know.

I am by no means the demographic young anything, but I cannot imagine the situation where that kind of conversation could happen in a group and I would stay. So offensive. Apparently one was a school counselor. If that was my kid’s school, I would be down at the principal’s office right now.

Even after we deal with Trump, we'll be cleaning up the mess he created for decades. Once you mainstream bigotry, it takes a long time and a lot of work to make it shameful again.

i am struggling so i’m putting out the call! i need examples of graphic novellas under/around 100 pages published in the last 2-3 years. preferably memoirs or at least telling a story (not just educational guides etc). anyone know of any, or have tips on how to search for this kind of thing?

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown. Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

I'm not really a Swiftie. The only albums I've liked in their entirety is the COVID era music. But I'm fatigued by the endless fault-finding for this release as if people are making a stand for Art or going against the tide when it's the most basic take. I'd much prefer to read what people do like.

After the Trump regime’s invasion of an apartment building in Chicago earlier this week, all Americans should brush up on their 4th Amendment rights.

FYI this is going around seeming to be from me and Liz. This is not from us.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Wtaf is going on??

If you reach out to me, I will help you with your pitch and look at a draft. Lollardfish at gmail.

Pleasantly surprised by this pope.

If you don’t have a clear idea to share, maybe keep that email to yourself for a bit.

HAPPENING NOW: Lawyers for Des Moines schools superintendent Ian Roberts have asked the immigration court in Omaha to stay deportation proceedings against him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx7Y...

Senior U.S. District Judge William Young "ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

Way back when my kids were in elementary school, I volunteered in the library. Kids would literally come in looking for books they’d seen on Reading Rainbow.
