🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.

"An economy that kills, that excludes, that starves, that concentrates enormous wealth in a few to the detriment of the many, that multiplies poverty and grinds down salaries, that pollutes, that produces war, is not an economy: It is just an emptiness, an absence, a sickness." #PopeFrancis #Hope

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

If there was ever a divine symbol or sign to shake at least a few prominent Republican leaders from their treacherous suicidal support of this evil man, would it look like this?

#NoKings Oct 18 Protest in Dan Crenshaw’s gerrymandored district

Wisdom from Schoolhouse Rock.

The lesson is clear: There is one set of laws for the president’s supporters, and another one for those who have run afoul of him.

#NoKings protest this morning in a deep red suburb of Houston in Dan Crenshaw’s gerrymandered district. A few hundred folks and lots of honks from supporters!

How weak do you have to be to kidnap this singing peaceful protester? Did the singing hurt your feelings you ridiculous MAGA snowflakes?

Saturday is going to be huge, boisterous and joyful: “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never protested before.

These are the leaders and activists they cultivate in the GOP.

At :37 he says “The most threatening thing I’ve see yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland.” 🤡

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

This is what ice is doing

Ok explain to me how this isn’t treason. We are building foreign military bases on our own soil after Qatari bribed our POTUS.

Laughed out loud so many times 😂

The perfect Kamala vibe check for those who may need a little truth serum for motivation.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

A day in the Portland war zone The Portland War Zone isn't for everyone but at least the chaos is locally sourced.

ICE Facility Illinois 😂 Robby Roadsteamer

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

History repeats.

Thank you Jane Goodall, for inspiring generations to act with kindness, compassion, and care for the future of our planet. We need more folks like her!

ICE is out of control. They must be reined in.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Has everyone heard that Reading Rainbow is coming back and that Mychal the librarian is hosting?? 🤗🌈🤗
