FOOD BANK DIRECTOR: “For every meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. There’s no way we can meet that gap. We were not built to do this.” (@TNDemocrats are imploring @GovBillLee to fund SNAP with the billions in reserves as other states are, but he refuses)

FWIW, while ICE and CBP have spent *enormous* amounts on weapons and ammo, the 'guided missile warhead' thing seems to be a coding error.

Our dedicated reporters continue to provide on-the-ground coverage of the ongoing immigration raids that have devastated L.A. communities. Now we’re ready to take the next step by bringing those stories to life in a documentary series: givebutter.com/lataco_october

Here's a link to an AP story, they seem to have rescued most but not all: apnews.com/article/alas...

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor. “He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said. Read more at @windycitytimes.com

And last year he wrote an op-ed defending RFK. No thanks I’ll go with Dr Acton who has been traveling all over Ohio and actually engaging with people

Michigan Avenue right now.

Be patient with your libraries in the next few weeks. The closing of Baker & Taylor is going to be a very rough transition for many of us. #booksky

“Some of you may want to stone my wife to death. and, well look, as long as you want to keep the private healthcare system, you’re alright with me!”

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

I'm deeply sorry if this gives you hope but the last time we saw Trump was September 30 The height of the previous "lmao is he dead?" instance was pretty much exactly one month before that on August 29 Chemotherapy cycles that are 4 weeks long are apparently not uncommon

"They'll do it anyway" "He'll ignore the courts" "That won't change anything" These comments ONLY help the oppressors and are a kick in the shin to those of us actually doing the work. Either support and encourage us verbally - or even better, join us - or just STFU.

He’s a shape shifting liar who will say anything for power. Eye liner boy is the Trojan Horse for Peter Thiel’s techno-fascists.

Where’s that Kimmel energy for this?

ICE couldn't terrorize our communities to this degree without the hundreds of companies that provide it with goods and services—many of which also have contracts with blue cities and states. *View map from browser, not app. Key on bottom (mobile) or side (computer). Click on pins for more info.

Government shutdowns hit American women harder than anybody. - women are a HUGE portion of the government workforce - Head Start has closed in the past b/c of those lack of funds. Where do these children go? - domestic violence shelters close - WIC, EBT, and DHS housing are all threatened

Who Stephen Miller thinks he is, vs. who he ACTUALLY is. (Sorry for the picture of the bald asshole, I couldn't think of anyone more embarrassing to be than Miller himself)

Who Pete Hegseth thinks he is vs. who he ACTUALLY is

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Undocumented Immigrants are not eligible for federal healthcare. The deplorables are LYING. Again. Also, federal employees are being threatened with termination. This is no different than a terrorist threatening to kill hostages if they don't get what they want. These "people" are evil liars.

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop. Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

He specifically canceled his tour in the US so that the regime could not use his concert locations to terrorize Latino people. That man is aware of the harms being done to his people

I listened to that Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates discussion and the clearest takeaway is that they are just engaged in completely different political projects. For Klein politics is academic and for Coates politics is flesh and blood.

“You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.” —Hillary Clinton, September 9, 2016

those uncommitted people sure did a great job freeing palestine. oh wait, all they did was help bibi netanyahu do whatever the fuck he wants to because we don't have the bandwidth to pay attention to chaos abroad when there's chaos at home. excellent work all around, y'all.

One mother and calf trapped for five days ... in distress all this time. FOUR whales now caught in these filthy nets and no way to free them. Drowning! Heartbreaking 🥵 BAN shark nets!!!! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the deciding vote to not release the Epstein files. Now the survivors are striking back.

I would give them $50 to fck off into the sun. She is a PRIVATE citizen. They got what they wanted on Gaza right?! They wanted “better for Gaza”? So you got it. Now fck off

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

I wish that too. In damn four days Disney crumbled. Imagine how powerful a resistance movement would be with that kind of dedication

Another extraordinary win today - don't let our natural negativity bias let the recognition of these miracles slip away

It's the hyphenation that's killing me. Anti-ICE *what*, mf'er?!

How exhausting being them must be. Can you imagine thinking everything that happens to you is an act of sabotage by some unknown group of Everyone But You

This is Sinclair Broadcasting.

In 40 years when Trump is dead and gone and most people view this as a particularly weird and fucked up era of history, there will be thousands of people born from right wingers who will suffer health problems for their entire lives because of this. A living scar on humanity left by a dying empire

there are no nice women married to these terrible men. Melania Trump is a collaborator, not a hostage. Cheryl Hines is perfectly happy with her husband's 'car that smells like death from transporting roadkill home to put in his fridge to eat later' and she's absolutely fine with your child dying

Maaaannnn i felt this in my soul. 😩

Half of all Americans die in hospice care. Easy money and a lack of regulation transformed a crusade to provide death with dignity into an industry rife with fraud and exploitation. (Published 2022)

In the home stretch: $1500/2000 Just need $500 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

This should show the world how incompetent right wing racists are. They ramble on & on about everyone being inferior, but look at him!!! This is the best they can come up with to lead them as president??? White ppl globally should be pissed, embarrassed & scrambling to get rid of this idiot.

So...are you folks calling your Sinclair stations and telling them that you are boycotting them and their advertisers? Sinclair started over 20 years ago with billboards. They are maga and their mission is to control the news that you hear. They need to be brought to their knees. Call every day.

Me too. As someone who also lost mom I can attest to that grief and fear is similarly overwhelming

So proud to be representing these courageous patients in their first-in-the-country lawsuit against a medical system for stopping gender affirming care for those under 19.

This is pure evil Gofundme for the family affected. www.gofundme.com/f/help-reuni...

1/ If you're wondering why I harp on the power of the right-wing bullshit cannon so much, it's this: We spent a lot more time as a nation talking about a tiny number of transgender teenagers wanting to play sports than talking about hospitals closing thanks to GOP Medicaid cuts.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

1/7 🚨 BREAKING: Disney caved & restored Jimmy Kimmel Live. That proves pressure works. But Sinclair & Nexstar are REFUSING unless Kimmel apologizes & donates to Turning Point. The fight just moved from Hollywood to YOUR hometown. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
