Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Tina Peters is marking one year in prison by demanding that the DOJ follow President Trump's directive to free her. "Get off your asses and get me out!" Peters wrote. She's serving a nine year sentence for tampering with voting systems in search of election rigging. #copolitics

“F—k them kids!” That’s what federal agents said about the half-naked children zip-tied together & dragged into the streets of Chicago in the dead of night Tuesday morning during one of Convicted Felon Trump’s raids. Americans MUST speak up now to save this country. youtu.be/XIukXTZNXN4?...

What?

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers. Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

"Every single week we have seen one-sided escalation from ICE. We come with songs and chants and signs. They come with tear gas and pepper bullets and flash bangs." @katmabu.bsky.social on ICE brutalizing protesters in Chicago.

I love this Keebler Elf looks so bad these days (and *Chad* will never, ever, be called on again).

Yep

Yikes. N*z* Barbie sure sounds a lot like Stephen Miller here.

The Republican party is more concerned with appeasing Trump's ego than with serving the American people. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown is a clear demonstration of their priorities: self-interest over the public good. #SHESHED

#SoftSuccession: The term "soft secession" refers to a political and legal strategy in which states resist or disengage from federal authority without formally breaking away from the United States. This, or a #GeneralStrike is needed.

1/ 🇨🇿 Today’s Czech election is a turning point for Europe. A Trump-like billionaire is leading -vowing to cut Ukraine aid & align with Orbán/Fico. Expect full script: gutting safety nets, blaming migrants for “Islamization,” & branding LGBTQ people as “deviants” #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Huh

Liar, liar…

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Journalist Mario Guevara is being deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power. We should all be outraged. freedom.press/issues/mario...

Trump has shuttered the office responsible for providing oversight of his activities, separate from the ongoing shutdown. The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE),

MIKE LEE: Russ Vought has been dreaming about this moment since puberty MIKE JOHNSON: Russ Vought does not enjoy this responsibility

OUR DEMANDS: 1. Invoke 25thAM to immediately remove the unhinged Dictator in the WH who has declared war on his own people; 2. Impeach & prosecute all complicit Cabinet officials; 3. Impeach, censure, or remove every complicit GOP member violating their oath of office by failing to act. 🆘🇺🇸

Bernie Sanders and AOC do a joint video explaining their view of the shutdown

Huh

Thank you, Jane Fonda.

We now live in Handmaid’s Tale land.

This regime can’t stand to be laughed at. They can’t stand to be the butt of a joke because the moment we’re able to laugh at them, their fragile ego begins to crumble. @nowthisimpact.bsky.social

USA Consumer Confidence The University of Michigan's Index of Consumer Sentiment fell to 55.1 in September, a 21.4% decrease from the previous year, indicating growing concerns among consumers about the economy. The US economy is slowing yet the stock market is skyrocketing. #uspoli

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.

How humiliating

Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.

If you are shocked by what the Trump regime is publicly stealing or crimes it is committing, imagine the magnitude of the crimes they are actually hiding.

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.” More of my conversation with Bernie Sanders on democracy, oligarchy and his time as Mayor.

Mike Johnson is not good at his job. And it’s apparent in these past few days that he’s really starting to lose his sh**. I love this for him.

Galls me when old, male centrists sneer at Thunberg, accuse her of "attention seeking". Damn right she's attention seeking. She's drawing attention to starvation, genocide. All her critics reveal is their secret guilt at their own, shameful inertia. History will judge them for saying, doing nothing.

“I didn’t see it” - MJ. Effing coward.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

He’ll bail out Big Ag, not the little guy.
