It’s worth reading both this post and the educated responses

#Republican #congress : DO YOUR JOB. You swore an oath to uphold the constitution, #represent constituents. You talked about fiscal responsibility, justice, protecting veterans. Was that just lip service? Are you complete hypocrites? Stand up against fascism. NOW. #25thAmendmentNow

I stand 💯 with Senator Mark Kelly.

The attacks on Venezuela are a flagrant breach of international and US law, and Trump’s own words make it clear that control and exploitation of their massive oil reserves is his current priority And end to fossil fuels is vital to stop fueling wars, as well as the climate crisis

#25thAmendmentNow #CongressHoldsThePurseStrings If we don't call and write our representatives, they're going to assume we're ok with ... all of this.

Jake Tapper is on Bluesky in case anyone wants to send this to him 🫣😭

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

This message hits hard.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

We are closing out tonight with a link to enjoy the legendary table read of The Princess Bride. As long as we stick together we will find our way out of The Pit of Despair. 🖤RIP Rob and Michelle

Jasmine Crockett is being told the same things Kamala Harris was told and the same thing Shirley Chisholm was told 53 years ago. Women are always told “Now is not the right time” especially Black & brown women. Ignore it. Now IS the time to run for every single office.

May we all take a moment to reach out today in love and peace. But I’m also going to take a moment to say three little words Drmpf will not comprehend: “To The Pain.” #25thAmendmentNow

"When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts." Michael Ende - The Neverending Story

Trump calls affordability a “scam” and it might destroy the GOP next year. The great @pkrugman.bsky.social and I discuss. Plus the Bulwark’s @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on whether Trump dumps Kristi Noem. Also Trump and MTG fight! See you at 4p et/ 1p pt on Substack and later on YouTube.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

I see his point.

Over last couple of years I've noticed retailers calling out "Welcome In!" as customers arrive. Nice and friendly, I have no problem with it, just ... it seems new to me. Have you always heard this at shops, or did some retail adviser put out a blog post about it in 2023? Is it post pandemic?

So when the #AmericanGestapo says their arrests involve people committing crimes, they are technically correct. But the criminals are in ICE, not Home Depot parking lots or street taco stands.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

I named my fists Hercule and Poirot because they’re about to be covered in someone’s little grey cells. …also because I prefer to sit in an armchair and let my burly sidekick actually do the physical work.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Timeline cleanse. 🥰

NEW: This is one hell of an opening paragraph from Jim Comey's attorneys in his motion to get the grand jury materials in the case against him.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Stalking a 19-year-old David Hogg, who had just survived a school shooting, berating him, calling him names, and accusing him of being a liar isn't "toxic politics." It's being a crude, unhinged sociopath. www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/p...

They took an employee away to detention the week before, and NOW THEY WANT TACOS? What utter dicks. #ICE can f**k right off.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Look! #potus is trying to floss its ears!

I am not a military strategist, but I have a vague memory that not feeding the troops was one of those big fuck-ups that Sun Tzu talked about.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

In every #election year, there are millions of signs discarded into landfill. Why not reuse yours? I found that sharpie fades fast and must be redrawn frequently; exterior grade primer & paint lasts longer.This sign‘s been very useful! What will you do with yours? #reducereuserecycle #DIY

I love this holiday. I wish I could show more people outside the US that for many of us it's meaningful because it's about meeting your neighbors, celebrating whimsy and horny, art and costuming, and taking a night off from who you have to be. Not consumerism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Also, #25thAmendmentNow

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Remember when people laughed at Hilary Clinton saying there was a "vast right-wing conspiracy"?
