Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown. Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down. Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

There is a compromise on the table to get this deal done and reopen the government while keeping health insurance premiums down. But the sole problem, plain and simple, is Mike Johnson.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #lunchtime, birds with food in their mouths. Might have to zoom in to see some clearly. #birds #photography

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #lunchtime , birds with food in their mouths. The alternative is #fluffy , birds with feathers fluffed up. Good luck!! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

I spent a couple of weeks in September working on this giant painting of a most beautiful woman named Thalia. mcartist.art I’m seeking work right now and could really use your help. DM me for a great deal on a portrait! #MaryanneChisholm #portraits #petportraits #portraitart #giftideas

Wow, this line from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s latest really hits me where it hurts. “I know what it’s like to dream and what it’s like to be betrayed.”

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #rock meaning any bird perched on a rock. We have Imperial Cormorants on a rock, with the Kelp Gulls who had been sharing it flying off, and Gentoo penguins on rocks. #birds #photography #sonyalpha

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #rock meaning any bird perched on a rock. The alternative is #longbeak any bird with a long beak. I’ve went with both themes and the stunning Oystercatcher, my favourite shore bird. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

NEW: The Republican chairman of the House’s election oversight committee revealed plans to introduce legislation that would ban states from counting mail-in ballots that were sent by Election Day but arrive after.

WATCH: “Please search for the truth, see past the fearmongering— a vote for Cuomo is a vote for Trump.” Kanew addresses a sermon by the Rabbi at Central Synagogue causing (unfounded) hesitation about Zohran & antisemitism among his Jewish NYC family/friends Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DQnEFaK...

This is an ugly development too. Landlords evicting non-white tenants bc, it seems, it’s not worth the risk of a Kavanaugh Raid. Privatization of enforcement, of a sort. Well, not enforcement. Harassment. Which are synonyms to Miller and his racist crew.

BREAKING: Jeffries just dropped one of the strongest statements yet — “The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That’s the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.” Let that sink in.

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.

ICE is now using facial recognition software— including on American citizens — to detain people its app concludes are in the country illegally. This, as Trump says ICE raids "haven't gone far enough." Connect the dots: No one is safe from Trump's tyranny.

UPDATE on U.S. citizen who was shot by ICE in Ontario on Thursday, October 30th, The lawyers representing him are seeking the public’s help for tips, videos, and info identifying the three men stopped and potentially taken by ICE who are witnesses. No one knows what happened to them.

Reason #34,761 ICE should not be allowed in care settings/schools/anywhere. The level of violent incompetence displayed by ICE is staggering.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

“It’s when you step back and take in the full list, with all of the extortionate details, that it becomes clear that Trump is moving toward something like China’s command economy.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Beneath the waves, something irreversible may have just happened. 84% of coral reefs worldwide just crossed a tipping point. If we don't act, 99% could be gone by 2050. But there's still time to change this story. 🧪 #SciComm youtube.com/shorts/FGHTn...

I couldn't leave this one alone. Like it seems silly and harmless, but this is such a slippery slope in to damaging conspiracy theories like anti-vax and climate change denial, so I'm going to keep explaining it in the hopes people start actually thinking about things.

Sorry for the delay with BOTD Following on from Alan's Underrated theme yesterday, I'm going to use the one that was posted the most for today's #BirdOfTheDay which was #Pigeons and the Alternative bird are #Dunnocks. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #birdphotography #ukbirding

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #pigeons, which I don’t seem to have many of. Here’s one from Japan and a group in Costa Rica.

“The Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task Force has called for a six-month pause, warning that a proposed data center by developer Karis Critical would consume more than 10 percent of the city’s peak electricity demand.”

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

This is how Dodgers fans in Los Angeles were welcomed last night after one of the greatest World Series. Around the corner from this in Echo Park, people were being tear gassed.

Have some Colorado Rocky Mountain sunrise pics. #photographer #photography #sunrise #mountains #sonyalpha

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #hiding. Hope you enjoy and play along. #birds #photography

"In virtually every case, the actual emissions were higher — often much higher — than the estimates, ProPublica found. At one steel industry plant near Pittsburgh, a potent carcinogen was found at levels more than 30 times higher than estimated." www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

Sudan’s brutal civil war – what has happened in El Fasher?

Republicans want to starve children to pressure Democrats into gutting healthcare. How do we know? Mike Johnson just admitted it.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.” --Stephen Miller speaking to Memphis police earlier this month.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city. So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

If anyone knows of earlier non/fiction stories please let me know 🧪 🚀

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #gulls Now hear me out, there’s a method to my madness, once you posted a gull today you cannot post another on any theme for a week. 😁😁 Alt is #funny ,bird captures that make you laugh. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin Sorry can’t reply to all. 😔

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #gulls, with #funny as the alternate. So going for a twofer with the first pic, including the second because I like it with the fairly large fish. #birds #photography

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

“A Jackie Robinson moment… what an exciting opportunity…”

Portland comes to the rescue! 🛟
