Go Gavin The move comes as SNAP benefits are delayed for 5.5 million Californians. The state is also fast-tracking up to $80 million in emergency funding. abc7news.com/post/governo...

Senate Democrats are drafting an alternative to a GOP bill that would pay some federal workers during the government shutdown.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

A symbol of patience, grace, balance and inner peace spied on a hike this morning in northern New Jersey. I’ll take this as a sign.

I know No Kings was a success because MAGA has spent the last 48 hours desperately trying to convince us it was a failure.

What's next after a hugely successful "No Kings" day? More joyful, patriotic, and peaceful organizing to defend our democracy. Join @indivisible.org and more this evening to be a part of it. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

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...

How is it not bigger news that Kristi Noem spent $172 million in Coast Guard funds on two luxury Gulfstream jets? She’s living large on taxpayer money. It’s corrupt, self-indulgent, and an insult to public service. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

The furious debate over whether Meghan McCain's seemingly willful stupidity is willful or just stupidity has now ended in a draw

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

San Diego California: Police Dept. thanks the citizens for peacefully protesting. Once again there were zero arrests.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

“It’s terrible to realize that Trump’s power to rip apart our country depends on his access to the money that we pay into the national treasury.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-w...

ZOHRAN: “We are an existential threat to billionaires who think their money can buy our democracy.” 🇺🇸

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

Just got back from our Saturday AntiFa meeting. It was in Stephen Miller's head.

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too. Sincerely, An Epidemiologist Who Told You Trump Would Get COVID Booster.

Re-upping this piece I wrote a month ago, which becomes ever more relevant as Trump's tyranny worsens, as masked thugs keep terrorizing immigrants, and as the "Justice" Department keeps inventing charges against political opponents. I ask: WHY WON'T THE MEDIA SAY TRUMP IS BECOMING A DICTATOR?

And we have more details, about how these Nobel-winning sponges started with diamonds, how they neutralize nerve gas, and are being used in cancer treatment. And what they have in common with Harry Potter books & movies, though they are science and not magic. Link below..🧪

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

“Satire is the most powerful weapon in a democracy because it forces people to laugh at their leaders, and once you make people laugh at authority, you’ve won.” - Lenny Bruce and others @diaperdiplomacy-m.bsky.social

Lawyers have been publicizing a new term to describe ICE's racially targeted detainments: a “Kavanaugh stop.” Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy explains in this new video:

“When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise & resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk & remind us freedom must never be taken for granted.” www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

🚨🚨🚨University of Arizona students, staff, and faculty are speaking out against Trumps demands in exchange for money. Let’s boost their voices! 1/2

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Thursday froze President Donald Trump’s attempt to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in and around Chicago, saying the president lacked the authority to do so. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Milei capers around on stage whilst the country falls to pieces. This is a perfect encapsulation of his role, a narcisistic fool who clowns around and holds peoples attention whilst the Argentine ruling class reduces the country back to the level of neo-colonial dependency last seen prior to 1914.

Stephen Miller called for violence after a ruling by Judge Goodstein and then days later her house goes up in flames. We’re not talking about this enough and how we bring awareness to the violent rhetoric this administration is using to further their agenda and incite these acts.

Short thread brings the numbers for the constituents of Mike Johnson, Chip Roy, Jim Jordan, etc.:

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE. This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never. May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws" [via @theguardian.com]

Schumer: I want to say to Donald Trump, to Johnson, and to Thune: come to the Capitol, sit down in public, and debate us on the health care crisis that’s afflicting Americans. The public needs to see this.

This is exactly what the right wants— our silence. They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

Folks: I am not on TikTok. Any account there is not me. And I will NEVER ask for money!

”roaming hordes are invading our cities and attacking our citizens” Chicago: Are you talking about ICE?

Of course these brilliant young students are all children of immigrants and I bet they live in blue states too because red states dont believe in science! Great job kids! Don't stop believing in science we need the future generation to get us out of this mess! 💙

Breaking on MSNBC: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. This news was first reported by Reuters.

After a search they were found to not be Suffolk county cops This is so scary As a woman to think anyone can just do This now
