Fuck it, posting rare Humdingers

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

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."

Yeah, Zohran's great, but I was rooting for #Humdinger

It's a heck of a night for a born and raised American turned Canadian. Who is vacationing in Mexico right now

Let's elect dems in honor of Dick Cheney

What we know so far, 8:30pm —Democrats flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —Also means Dems take VA trifecta. —Dems in good shape to win NJ-Gov. —Dems appear to flip 2 statewide offices in Georgia. —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincinnati. —Last GOPer in Orlando council gone. —PA: Dem justices up big so far.

These days I'm an agnostic/ atheist PhD in social psychology who lives in Canada and yet my life has been so shaped by Trinity Christian college in Palos heights, Illinois. I'm crushed to hear the university is closing. So much of who I am is because of them.

I miss the old days when we would all agree that a drunken former Fox News host should not be allowed to unilaterally bomb boats in international waters. I miss the days when folks would agree that without proof, that is a war crime. 4 more boats bombed today. More than 50 people dead.

Democrats, probably

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

Be reminded poverty is a policy failure by the government and a result of capitalism.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Every week the rubber band is getting pulled a little bit tighter in the US... It's already stretched further than I thought it could

Funders of Trump's $300M ballroom and East Wing destruction include: -Amazon -Apple -Coinbase -Lockheed Martin -Google -Meta -Microsoft -Palantir -Tobacco companies -The Adelson family Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor.

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Trump on the No Kings protests: “I saw that ridiculous march the other day. I say, these people are not representative of our country. And not all of them, of course, but many of them are total lowlifes.”

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

the internet is forever enough to hurt you, but not forever enough to help you

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.

It's this photo if you missed it, savaging the East Wing to make a vanity ballroom.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.

a jewel heist at the louvre is a little derivative if you ask me

The coalition that put this together is hosting a mass follow up call on Tuesday 10/21. But local groups can use the momentum to actually offer concrete ways for people to do things together. Take the opportunity. Folks want to be involved.

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

I am against fascism.

This born and raised Hoosier loves to see it!

Brb just writing a screenplay about a struggling inflatable costume factory in a wholesome but dying American small town that unexpectedly helps save democracy, and democracy saves it right back.

Toronto showed up! #NoKings #NoTyrants

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

Writing train on a boat describes Trump fans better than any joke I could make

Personally I love seeing corny, cringy bad protest signs. Means the amateurs are activated

I'm seeing a lot of criticism of the No Kings stuff. A lot of it is very valid I agree. But I also feel like there needs to be a nuanced understanding that these events are still a net positive I feel like. because it gets the liberal folks, the wine moms the grandmas the van dads out there.

"No Kings 2" is well underway. I just saw dozens of protesters holding signs at an overpass near my local mall. CNN is showing live scenes of big crowds in New York, Boston, Atlanta, DC. Shimon Prokupecz is reporting "tens of thousands" of people in and around Times Square.
