Really great action items here. Bottom line: right wing advancing a censorship agenda using “indecent” content as the angle. Don’t allow CC companies to dictate what you can purchase (as long as it’s legal!). And age verification laws can kick rocks, too. This is an important toehold.

Is that Bovino with his Judge Doom haircut? These creeps walking through a Chicago bodega dressed like cosplayers, but with real weapons They’re harming local businesses on top of terrorizing the community

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

Also, and I say this with my whole chest: do not give establishment Dems a dime of your money. Not a CENT. Give that money to mutual aid, to food pantries, to your library, to the guy on your street corner. All of them will put that money to better use. Do not give politicians your money.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

We’ve only had riots and tumult like this during Trump’s presidency. Even nonviolent protests, all inspired by the hateful rhetoric and, frankly, *drama* that Trump constantly and evermore incites. This guy is mad. He has surrounded himself with cruel, unprincipled, and violent people.

What??

I spent some time tonight w/ some smart, beautiful women who are about 15 yrs younger, through someone I met on the plane I’m so sad to see such brilliant, focused, driven, incredible ppl navigating sh*t I thought was behind us when I was in their shoes. We need to hang out more.

“The story of America is thus one of slow, often unsteady steps forward. If we expect the trumpets of a given era to sound unwavering notes, we will be disappointed, for the past tells us that politics is an uneven symphony.” - Jon Meacham

“I ask in our civic life that we in the same way pay heed only to the man’s quality of citizenship, to repudiate as the worst enemy that we can have whoever tries to get us to discriminate for or against any man because of his creed or birthplace.” - Theodore Roosevelt, 1912

What exactly do you think Trump—who was caught scheming to falsify 11K votes in Georgia—was doing between Nov 2020 and Nov 2024?

What if Project 2025 was designed to facilitate *and distract* from the installation of a dictator? Started in 2022. Just one year after Trump tried to overthrow govt w/Jan6. Published in 2023. What if The Heritage Foundation saw Trump’s coup desire as a feature, not a bug?

Today👇 🔹️Israel has resumed military operations in the Gaza Strip. 🔹️Estonia has shot down an unidentified drone in its airspace. 🔹️The Russians are advancing by mere centimeters, yet still pushing forward on the front line. 🔸️The White House is preparing for Halloween.

idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple

We should not be having a debate about Nazi symbolism tattooed on the potentially top ticket Democrat in Maine. The fact we are even willing to entertain it shows desperation within the Party, not dedication, and how far we have fallen from rational thought.

Platner is not a victim of opposition research. This is what happens when you run for federal office. People scrutinize everything you’ve ever done. Every word and every action. Accountability does not exist in playing the victim of your own behavior.

☄️ Trump threw the Argentinian elections by saying the U.S. would make a $20B bailout… so long as Milei’s (fascist) party won seats ☄️ They won. Arg bond went up to some record high

I am interested in starting to hear from care workers on SNAP about your concerns. I'm @motherjones.com's disability reporter. Please be in touch. My email is [email protected] and my Signal is juliametraux.49. Reposts are appreciated.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

If you're looking for an action to take tomorrow that can help protect millions of people regardless of their immigration status, call your governor to demand a ban on utility shutoffs this winter. Every state has slightly different policy– we got you covered.

This will exacerbate the issue today of "heat or eat." Over 52 million adults in the US cannot afford their utility bills, and this causes a well documented poverty trap where they then cut back on food or medicine to pay their utility bills instead. bsky.app/profile/sevi...

There is literally not enough money in the country to cover the gap that cutting SNAP will create on November 1. In just one year, the need for SNAP replacement would wipe out the rainy day funds of every single state in the country, and those funds aren't evenly distributed bsky.app/profile/sevi...

Here’s something, we can start local support networks. This could be a very ugly Thanksgiving for many people given the cut to food benefits (with a $200M renovation to add a BALLROOM)

Wait. Why have we, as a society, let so many people get away with bad things? Like why are the OxyContin Sacklers *not* in prison for knowingly distributing drugs that they designed to be addictive? OxyContin has claimed 450,000 lives.

I’m glad someone called it out. I cannot imagine admitting to being so ill-informed in a job where their role is so inexorably linked to knowing wtf is going on

In other news, this is not NOT a cadaver:

Racist Trump OSC nominee Paul Ingrassia once suggested that someone read up on George Washington to better understand how white men [exclusively] “built America.” This book about Ona Judge, who escaped GW, is a good start. You see how scummy he was. www.thriftbooks.com/w/never-caug...

People are experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, and threats to physical safety, bodily autonomy, and their human rights And Donaldo T. is building a NINETY THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT BALLROOM 90,000!!!! That’s like a school. Or a small hospital. Or 37 homes, using avg US Sq Ft (!)

Honest Q: do you denigrate people—especially marginalized groups—in an effort “to get a rise out of people?” I’ve said plenty of snarky things, but not to *hurt* people, and certainly not people who are already down. So why do some members of our society punch down for fun?

I’m over it. Bought a house built and owned by a single couple, lived there over 60 years. All the stuff came with the house. That means tons of books. Books on gardening, repairs, design, art, history, science. It’s so rich, so thorough. I might never come back.

That video Trump posted, where he’s wearing a crown, flying a jet called “King Trump” and dropping feces on Americans? It’s dehumanizing. It’s frightening. It is beyond inappropriate. He is not fit for office. Couldn’t have picked a worse target, though. www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikT...
