ABC: Trump hosted another lavish party at Mar-a-Lago on Friday as the longest federal gov't shutdown in history continues & millions go without SNAP benefits. The theme of the night was “A Little Party Never Killed Anyone.” What tone deaf assholes! 😡 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Please pass this little gem around

#MorningVibe It’s rough out there. Be gentle with yourself. Be gentle with others.

Midterms, I would bet this will be nothing short of a HIstoric Voter turnout for Democrats. We have a ton of moving parts working against Maga and we're damned effective. We terrify MAGA I'm too am afraid but I won't pull the blanket over my head. My wee grandkids need me to fight for their country

@thelolo.bsky.social “No funds will remain for new SNAP applicants, disaster aid, or as a cushion against collapse.” That’s USDA’s own line. It confirms the $6B reserve was already drained before the shutdown even began. Straight from their Oct 31 filing

@thelolo.bsky.social Hi Miss Lolo. Check this reference out re:SNAP From USDA’s own Oct 31 filing in Penn v. USDA 👀 It’s under “Use of SNAP Contingency Fund for Reduced November Benefits.” Full doc’s in the public court docket (Doc 14-2 ¶21). ‘cause it looks like the moola has been spent

Hoping this is true 🙃

Critical Minerals? There’s a Plant for That Could phytomining—using plants to pull metal out of the soil—put the green in “green transition”? by @sarahdeweerdt.bsky.social www.biographic.com/critical-min...

I am reading 14-year-old students' school redesign suggestions. Many are about food & bathrooms. Also pleas for an art gallery, a rage room, comfy chairs, more color & plants, more electives (especially cooking classes!), more mental health support, more free time. Here's a sample.

This thread. Hugely important and worth the read.

Holy crap

Let’s talk about why the University of Tokyo just dug a giant cave out of bedrock…🧪🔭

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.

Exactly what he’s doing right now…

Stand tall. We will win.

The "plaintiffs" seeking to dismantle the Voting Rights Act (in a case this week at SCOTUS) include: -a member of the "Trumpettes," a group of women who ardently support for the president -a retiree who said he didn’t remember signing up to be involved in a lawsuit. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

BREAKING: The U.S. says it's sending about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor Gaza ceasefire deal.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News. Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios. www.axios.com/2025/10/09/d...

Oh www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

Russian intelligence was paying Benny Johnson $400,000 a month prior to the 2024 election. Don’t think for a minute this isn’t about our geopolitical foes trying to destroy the US.

Yes, Wells Fargo was a horrible company long before Trump's fascism. I heard consumer advocate, Clark Howard, declare on his podcast that Wells Fargo is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a bank. Remember, banks are beholden to shareholders, credit unions are beholden to their members.

To close a Wells Fargo A/C, you must have a zero balance and no pending transactions. You can call customer service at 1-800-869-3557, visit a branch with valid ID, or by mail a completed Account Closure Request form if you are outside the U.S. Wells Fargo does not allow account closures online.

Spectacular, MAGA. ICE is now tear gassing the “thin blue line.” How’s that for supporting LEOs you Trumpist knobs. You’ve been suckered at America’s expense. WAKE UP YOU DUMB CUNTS AND STOP CRYING ABOUT MEXICANS AND TRANS PEOPLE EXISTING.

If there’s two things gamers love more than EA, it’s Saudi oil tycoons and Jared Kushner.

Well that is just feckin awesome now, isn’t it?

They are celebrating how Donald has gone full fascist & is destroying America from within. Something they always wanted. youtu.be/IdydXyy6vcE

Russian State TV: “Let’s give Trump a Nobel Prize from us…our Trumpushka is being mistreated… you’re wrong not to love our Trump… 🇺🇸 is moving away from its fundamental principles…” They praise him for getting Kimmel fired, sending the military to our cities, etc rooting for our democracy to crumble

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires. shame. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...
