Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

The GOP appears to be confused about their current position. Remind them. “If you've already called your reps and feel like they aren't listening, try giving them another round of calls now. They may be thinking a bit differently after those election results...” bsky.app/profile/5cal...

Rep. Jim McGovern: "The truth is these people don't give a shit about everyday people... They take food away from poor folks on Friday and then they go to Church on Sunday and proclaim to be good Christians."

We need to remember how tonight feels and pledge to vote like this EVERY FUCKING ELECTION.

Democratic women have made history tonight: Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia. Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey. I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

I'm in Mexico City tonight without any US news coverage available. So pleased to see election results coming in so far on Bluesky! November 2024 I was in Europe and woke up to the most devastating news. Thankful it seems we learned something from that. Hope we can keep this momentum in 2026!

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Don’t let Republicans rig another election! Prop 50 defends fair play by giving California voters—not politicians—the final say on temporary congressional maps. Power belongs to the people, not backroom deals. Stand up and vote #VoteDemToday—our democracy depends on it.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits. This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans. As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

In a state with 100% mail in voting, is there a certain thrill to voting on the last possible day? I just don't get it... 😱

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!

Pope Leo XIV calls for "authorities to allow pastoral workers to attend to the needs" of people who have been detained. "Jesus says very clearly, at the end of the world, we're going to be asked: How did you receive the foreigner?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysfd...

Please check to see if your employer matches donations to your local food bank. Some match up to 100%. This can make all the difference to hungry families in your community. Volunteer. Give. Donate. ~ CajunBlue and Family

Listening to former President Obama speak does bring back to me the fact that WE have the POWER of HOPE and the ability to CHANGE for the better WE CAN DO IT

I want my tax dollars spent on taking care of our fellow Americans, not marble bathrooms or useless, gaudy ballrooms none of them will ever step foot in. That's why I'll always vote for people who care about others more than they care about themselves.

Ouch 🚽

A lot is happening right now. Make a note to yourself to remember, heading into the midterm elections in a year, that GOP senators & reps asking you to vote for them were willing to starve their constituents—your friends, family, maybe even you—for Trump.

I couldn't agree more!

You have rights at the polls.

How I miss his decency - Video of then VP Joe Biden meeting the son of Chris Hixon, who was tragically killed during the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School. We ***need*** this kind of love and compassion back in the White House. Our country needs it. The world needs it. vimeo.com/470534331

From WAPO: A federal judge indicated she would probably order the Trump administration to use reserves to partially fund food assistance for about 42 million Americans in Nov, potentially delaying a complete cutoff in benefits during the government shutdown.

Did you know local elections are happening right now? Don't miss your chance to decide your state and local leaders like school board, city council, sheriff, maybe even governor. Our vote is our voice, let's use it on Nov. 4 to help our communities! social.redwine.blue/s/GK4k6kCz

Q: "What's your reaction to Jesus telling you that you must *give* to the poor, not take away from the poor?" MIKE JOHNSON: "I don't know any of the details of that yet. I'm just hearing that for the first time so can't really comment."

Indeed…

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Californians, our state has made it so easy for us to vote - every registered voter receives a mail-in ballot. Please get your ballots turned in and vote YES on 50. Make sure your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, neighbors, friends VOTE in this election. Now isn't the time to be lazy or apathetic.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Samsung poll - 40,866 responses - 64% for Obama. Not bad.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

They're demonizing SNAP and other recipients of federal aid on right wing media. Of 21 million federal aid beneficiaries, ~70% work full-time and 39% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. Critics need to ask Amazon and Walmart why they won't pay enough for their employees to survive w/o food stamps.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

To the woman & her child joyfully protesting ICE on the pedestrian bridge over 80 in Berkeley in the rain today ... I saw you and appreciate you! I honked for free speech and Yes on 50!

So, I just read that Time Magazine capitulated and released a new cover after backlash from a certain someone. Are we now the Vichy Regime?

This video I posted of the La Merced taco truck trolling ICE agents in #Portland in the best way has 233K views on Instagram & 163K views on Twitter 😂🌮

#ProudBlue #Pinks #RU Good morning, friends. When you notice someone lagging, stand beside them. If they're being overlooked or excluded, bring them into the circle. If they've been knocked down, pick them up. Validate their value. A simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on their life.

Cohn taught Trump the 6 rules of managing and dominating situations and people (this is excerpted from the book, The Last American President): 1. Never apologize or admit wrongdoing, ever. 2. Always counter-attack, and always with greater force than you received.

We know what it really means to be a patriot, and the American flag is our flag too! I just signed up to join Heather Cox Richardson and Red Wine & Blue for this virtual event right before Nov. elections. Join me! ❤️🤍💙 social.redwine.blue/s/kEcTbfpS
