Yesterday I said I was just $1,200 away from breaking a major Dem fundraising milestone. Last night I broke through that milestone and then some. Debating whether to announce it today or to wait 11 days and make it part of my monthly update.

"I quit. I quit the Republican party and my job as an accomplice to the party in the throes of an authoritarian cult." www.thebulwark.com/p/my-last-da...

In 1967, we represented legendary drag queen Sir Lady Java when the LAPD threatened to arrest the owner of the club where she danced. This case was just one small part of her lifelong advocacy of queer expression. We carry her legacy with us today as we defend our communities in joy and style.

“Republican Party has devolved into a cult of personality that mirrors the worst authoritarian regimes… today, I quit allowing my complacency to destroy 🇺🇸, and urge you to quit too…” GOP insider Miles Bruner writes in @thebulwark.com he wishes he did it sooner www.thebulwark.com/p/my-last-da...

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire. He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify. If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

I think everyone knew exactly what point Trump was making dropping shit on Americans.

"Current and former national security officials…describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the US apart from the world’s most repressive regimes." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

On Saturday, the animals said #NoKings! @langleymaney.bsky.social @snepstuffs.bsky.social @grapeschitz.com @katav.gay @tofte.bsky.social #furry #chicago (Repost to remove tags)

We sure do

Trump just told this “I ended 8 wars” lie 🤥 again, so here’s the truth in case anyone cares 👇🏽

🎨 Wendell X Oscar 🐺"Slow down a bit old man! My guts are burning up...!"

NEW EPISODE: Rep. Eric Swalwell and I discuss how Trump is deploying the military in U.S. cities to shutting down Congress and blocking the release of Epstein files — all as part of a strategy to protect himself and undermine American democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2jK...

WSJ: Gaza Violence Spills Into Another Day, Testing Cease-Fire Deal A message from my friend Tasneem in Gaza. The cease-fire has already been broken, life is treacherous for civilians. Please give to Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to flee. And others. ❤️ tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

A beautiful metaphor for the typical MAGA man 😂

Nevada could’ve fined the company more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.” With City Cast Las Vegas

DOJ WHISTLEBLOWER: “I wouldn’t be abiding by my oath if I stayed silent right now.” 🇺🇸 He says Trump’s DOJ wanted him to lie (about Kilmar being a gang member & terrorist, etc…) — and fired him when he wouldn’t.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 We’re excited to announce our endorsement of Chris Mann for Attorney General. With a strong record of holding corrupt actors accountable, Kansans can trust he’s working for them, not wealthy special interests.

If you’re wondering why Mike Johnson has so much time to lie about peaceful protests, it’s because he keeps canceling House business to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance premium hikes: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Tariffs are ruining everything — including the Texas State Fair. $14 for fried oreos. $15 for a funnel cake chicken sandwich. $25 for a turkey leg. DC politicians are pricing Texans out of our own state fair.

"Just use a VPN" Yeah well, they're coming for that too, now--

People in ICE detention face extreme heat risks in conditions with poor ventilation — this will only worsen as the Trump administration works to nearly double its detention capacity. The hottest 10% of ICE facilities see an average of 93 days of dangerous heat per year. This is unconscionable.

KITTY HAWK, NC: “You’re making the news tonight! It’s not your flag, it’s everyone’s flag.” Woman arrested for trying to forcefully grab a 🇺🇸 flag from protestors at the No Kings protest. (No relation to The Wright Brothers) Full: www.outerbanksnews.org/post/kitty-h...

you’re telling me that another thirtysomething republican has nazi beliefs. wow

We sued President Trump for targeting people showing up to their mandated immigration court hearings. The government has no right to come after people following the law and throw them in detention.

So weird how this keeps happening. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Americans largely do not want our tax dollars funding Israeli bombs. It is clear now that Israel has committed a genocide in Gaza, and it is clear we broke our own laws funding it. But our legislators continue to give Israel a blank check because of money from the Israel lobby.

Now what? Well, it's PAST time to shut down our nation's capital. We are calling for everyone to descend on DC for 11/22. ESPECIALLY anyone in the DMV area & those who can drive in. Imagine if we took the people from No Kings in DC, Boston, NY, & Philly & brought them to the Capitol. 🔥 CONTINUED 🧵

🚨BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey Monday asked a federal judge to throw out the felony charges against him, asserting that the Department of Justice (DOJ) violated his rights by pursuing charges against him on President Donald Trump’s orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In the 10 days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was announced to take effect, the Israeli military has already repeatedly violated it. Al Jazeera reports that it has continued its genocide, killing nearly 100 Palestinians and wounding over 300 people.

No one is saying you can't be angry. Anger is a powerful, valid emotion. It's normal to be afraid, too. The reason we de-escalate ourselves is so we don't give into the panic the regime wants to incite. We engage our rational brains to strategize how we advance our cause in response to them.

NEW: Four years after GOP lawmakers in Georgia enacted one of the most aggressive anti-voting laws in the country, new evidence filed in federal court shows that Senate Bill 202 has drastically deepened racial inequalities in voting access in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

they deserve to cum together i said it

This is unforgivable -- innocent, helpless families being tortured and torn apart for the entertainment of a decadent, bloodthirsty domestic audience. I feel sick being part of it.

So great to be in good company w friends collecting #BoycottTMobile pledge signatures at this weekend’s #NoKings action in DC. In case you didn’t know, T-Mobile is siding with Trump & Musk. Sign our pledge here: actionnetwork.org/forms/hang-u... @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

My latest: Trump is slowly but surely desensitizing the public to a brand of authoritarianism aimed at subverting the will of the electorate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

No Kings Day was peaceful with millions marching. Democrats are getting increasingly excited and the protests are helping. This is just a test run for Virginia and New Jersey in two weeks.

Now we build on the momentum. ezralevin.substack.com/p/whats-come...
