"Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us." Statement from the @afghanevac.bsky.social veterans on the DC shooting.

Cannot emphasize this enough. If you shop on Black Friday, shop only at small biz, minority owned biz, women owned biz, or support independent media. Do not give Big Box Retailers your money! #WeAintBuyingIt

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives of transgender community members violently cut short by prejudice and hate. The reality is devastating: anti-trans violence is an epidemic, disproportionately targeting young, marginalized people, especially Black and Brown trans women.

Federal Plaza, 2:30 PM. See you there.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now. Like / share if you agree.

The shutdown put incredible strain on so many families and dedicated civil servants, but at least it was all for fucking nothing.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Can we start calling Trump "The Lesser Gatsby"?

China Agrees To Purchase 11 U.S. Soybeans

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

TLDR: tech workers, get organized! The Alphabet Workers Union has issued a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement that it will lay off 14,000 corporate workers: “Now is the time for us to stand together collectively, so we have power and a real voice in our industry.”

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports. The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Sen. Jeff Merkley is still speaking on the Senate floor, continuing a marathon speech he began last night. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/10/22/r...

@molly.wiki oh, look a fake account. Reporting it.

Read my words. Ty.

The inflatables have made it to Broadview.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Mamdani: I run against a disgraced former governor who, in this moment, has chosen to issue a statement in which he cannot even say the name Tish James, nor the name Donald Trump. If you cannot say Trump’s name today—how will you stand up to him tomorrow?

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

This guy makes me want to move back to NYC.

If you didn't realize this earlier, this latest action by the Administration amply demonstrates it does not have the back of federal workers. www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...

SKY NEWS: “New details about Israel’s support for a Palestinian rebel group with extremist ties & history of looting aid trucks… As negotiators debate who will run Gaza, 🇮🇱 is shaping the reality on the ground, letting them smuggle in cash, guns, cars…” news.sky.com/story/guns-c...

Today was my last day as a federal employee, but tomorrow I and my new partner, Ginger Quintero-McCall, open a new law practice, the Free Information Group. We are both FOIA lawyers, and we are very good at suing the government. 1/

A huge win for trans people in California: the state legislature passed five bills protecting our rights! Now it's time to call on Governor Gavin Newsom to sign them. Contact him before October 12th: transfamilysos.org/action-neede... #TransRights #TransYouth #TransCalifornia

Californians: do it

would be cool if anyone with any modicum of resources cared that an unhinged extremist, with ties to top NYPD, city hall, & the trump admin, is targeting a reporter (& new mom!) in an effort to get me jailed &/or incite violence against me (as has happened before) instead it’s just background noise

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

This thread needs maximum virality.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Brian Kilmeade announces name change to Brian KillTheHomeless.

If Pope Leo has not canonized Charlie Kirk by April 20th we will prosecute. by Pam Bondi

Our president is using our military to summarily execute people in international waters and our feckless Dems @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov can't even break from their rich AIPAC donors to endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, let alone stand up to Trump.

Trump inspires 54 acts of violence MAGA: So? Melissa Hortman murdered MAGA: LOL Police immunity despite 1K+ annual civilian deaths MAGA: Good! No gun safety despite 40K annual gun deaths MAGA: Meh Fund Fund Israel despite 300K+ Palestinian deaths MAGA: Yay! CK MAGA: STOP THE POLITICAL VIOLENCE!

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.
