Too close to 1940

the president of the united states, for some reason apparently:

New: On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command." www.mediamatters.org/oath-keepers...

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

Plausible if airlines lobbied behind the scenes. ATC is crumbling, half of flights are delayed or cancelled, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. 🧐

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

I recommend checking out this documentary: Ordinary Men, on Netflix. It’s bleak, but a fascinating look at the psychology of the men in Germany’s murder battalions. I was surprised it’s been out since 2022. It’s pretty clear how so much of this directly maps to 2025 America.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

I can't tell if this is currently 1) unthinkable or 2) conventional wisdom but I kinda think Johnson is going to lose the Speakership when the House comes back in session

According to the video, this woman was reporting sexual abuse in Riverside Court House & was accosted by ICE. What if she were your daughter, sister, mother or wife? How does this #ICELawlessness make us safer? Share this video & Call your Congressional rep at 202-224-3121 🧵

Full circle

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I don't think Cruz will take credit for pegging Trump because of homophobia.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

JOHNSON: "Two more words, and it's the back of my hand!" 🤡

GOP: Caring about the problems of citizens is a commie plot.

Emmer: "There is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about. That is a direct quote from Commie Mamdani! And it should terrify every single freedom-loving American."

Kelly Loeffler: "This is gonna be a crisis in the city of New York, to have a communist in there talking about seizing the means of production ... this is the face of Democrat Party now, and you saw that with everyone coming and bowing to him."

whos in the social media bubble now you gooncel freaks

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

AOC: "The Supreme Court has given Trump a blank check to continue to commit crimes while in office. So we cannot underestimate the threat and danger of this moment, but we cannot respond to that threat with cowardice."

AOC: "We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country. And we will send in a wave of Democrats that not bow to this administration, but stand up to this administration."

The latest, 11pm: —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —Krasner & Bragg win —JD's half-brother loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices + Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.

To my hips 🥳 Fuck Trump 🐔

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Post-traumatic sandwich disorder

✌🏼😁

Legal experts agree that the indictment against me and five others is politically-motivated. Thank you @legaleagle.tv @lizdye.bsky.social for bringing attention to this case.

This is an excellent idea!!!

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

O'DONNELL: You'll put forward a healthcare plan? TRUMP: No O'DONNELL: Since 2015 you've said you've said you fixed it TRUMP: We almost did it

OBAMA: “Is the economy working better for you? Because it sure has gotten better for Trump & his family… his billionaire friends, finance bros, well-connected corporations have seen their tax bill go down… But for ordinary families, costs have gone UP."

“Don’t get lost in the facts.”

It's expensive being poor. From Pratchett:

AI is very valuable today. Even so, still in a massive bubble. Like all new markets, it will reset and come back down to reality. But make no mistake, AI is the inevitable future. Rejecting it will allow it to be abused and used in horrific ways against people that are already easily manipulated.

they’re selling data center construction debt as packaged derivatives we are one thousand percent cooked

Taxes. They do not need billions of dollars to develop mansions on private islands they use to rape children.

“If you can’t get a vote on your record, don’t play us against each other.” I’m grateful for the Rev. Sharpton’s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.
