Why does #SCOTUS want us to be ruled by a dictator?

As Republicans plan to block SNAP funding starting Nov 1, I’m hearing a lot of folks on the right shouting “get a job”, but let’s remember: 👶39% of SNAP recipients are children 👵20% are elderly 🐄An hour of minimum wage pay barely covers a pound of beef Hope that clears things up!

Jack Ciattarelli is so worried about his race against @mikiesherrill.bsky.social that he’s encouraging his base to lie to her supporters about when to vote. Gross. (Early voting is underway now until Sun 11/2. Election Day is TUESDAY November 4th. Find out how to vote below. 🧵)

WaPo: The White House fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency that was expected to review some of Trump's construction projects, including his planned arch in Washington.

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina. This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

Every accusation is a confession. Mike Johnson perfectly describes Trump's mental decline and unhinged behavior while attacking Biden. #ProudBlue Video: MeidasTouch/Tiktok

I worked with Toni 25 years ago (one of the hardest workers I've known) and what has happened to her and her family since then would be overwhelming for anyone. I know any help you could give would be deeply appreciated. givesendgo.com/stevenandton...

🚨 MARYLAND: Your local leaders must hear from you ASAP. The only way Trump’s redistricting coup works is if blue states sit back and do nothing. Demand that your elected officials move forward to unrig the midterm maps and level the playing field before it’s too late: indivisible.org/resource/red...

The President took a dementia test, then got an MRI, with no official explanation. A 6-month MRI is used to monitor severe Alzheimer's or Vascular Dementia. This is not a routine physical. Where is the media's relentless demand for transparency? The health of the POTUS is not a private matter!

RIP Armenian/French philosopher/monk George Gurdjieff, died 1949 "Real love is a cosmic force which goes through us. If we crystallize it, it becomes the greatest power in the world." "Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free,...

BREAKING: Joe Biden speaks for the first time after completing radiation therapy while receiving a lifetime achievement award in Boston. Biden: "This is no give to give up. It's time to get up. Get up now. GET UP!"

Shoulda let him keep cooking in '24

“If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.” — W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)

"When I despair I always remember that all throughout history, the Way of Truth and Love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible. But, in the end, they always fall. Think of it. Always." —Mohandas Gandhi @paceebeneorg.bsky.social #quotes

In Canada 🇨🇦, our view is that if you can’t figure out whether an historic speech of one of your most eminent presidents is real or not, you have already lost the Darwinian fitness award for nations. You are not thinking, not remembering, and not reasoning.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

I’m serious about this: 70% of the reason our nation is in this position is because half of America doesn’t vote.

Now THIS is a mission the National Guard can be proud of. 🙌 Via @voteinorout.bsky.social

Are they all bribing him or is it simply extortion?

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! IMPEACH JOHN ROBERTS ! #ImpeachJohnRoberts #SCOTUS

The farmer who grew these pears told me her sister, born deaf from congenital rubella, is still mad that her 8 siblings never learned to sign fluently. And she herself is still mad about having to drive her sister at 6 am to a special school VACCINATE YOUR KIDS so they don’t resent each other at 65

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

#CallToAction for civil servants who work in our legal system. We sit here day after day watching our government shit all over our Constitution & gaslight half the country into calling it heroism. Why are we cowering? Law can be used against them to. Use #StatePower & #ArrestFederalAgents. Protect 🇺🇲

Our federal government is not the only force that holds power. The #FederalThugs are still subjected to #States, & their #Law. Contact your States AG, and demand they #HoldThemAccountable. bsky.app/profile/isth...

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

“Our world of violence and discord is in dire need of a contemplative presence. [...] We are called to the joy at the heart of it all because we are hummed into existence by the Divine at every moment. This is the source of our hope.” ~Sr. Simone Campbell #quote #hope #nonviolence

First The Rose Garden, then The East Wing… Add Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the list of beautiful things Trump is going to intentionally destroy. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

My friend @petebuttigieg.bsky.social joined me in Virginia this week because he knows just how important this election is — and how important your vote is.

Trump claimed wind farms kill whales—and then quietly axed research into the issue

Tish James launched an online portal for New Yorkers to submit photos and videos of ICE activity.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

He's doing to the White House what Osama bin Laden wanted to do, and we're all supposed to just sit there and watch?

Gov. Pritzker nails it: “They literally did a military attack on a building with a Black Hawk helicopter… You don’t arrest an entire building, zip tie children, and hold elderly people in a U-Haul - U.S. citizens!” What country are we becoming? #authoritarianism #Pritzker #USDemocracy #Pinks
