Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

If you live in NYC and you are interested in organizing with others around our public libraries, you are invited to join our work @nycplan.org. We have a chance to increase and stabilize funding for our public libraries and you can help make that happen. actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

A newly released Department of Defense memo calls for all states to form “quick reaction forces” within the National Guard that will be trained in “riot control” procedures — the latest indication that President Donald Trump is set to escalate his militarization of cities across the country.

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.

Save the date for the next one! Sunday Nov 2nd at 1:30pm at Powderhorn!

Across the city, more than 164,000 New Yorkers flocked to the polls this weekend for the first two days of early voting, according to the Board of Election, a staggering turnout that nearly matches the entire early voting count in 2021.

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care. There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate. Who have needs that must be met. Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

"Trump did not achieve lasting peace in Gaza. He didn’t achieve a week of peace in Gaza. Because Trump only cares about Trump, and whatever narrative can be wrangled in support of Trump is what he’s going with, regardless of the consequences."

Good evening. There are good things happening in our communities. How might you add to the good? www.ktvu.com/news/grassro...

Nearly 3-in-5 MAGA voters want to see the Affordable Care Act subsidies extended. Republicans in Congress so far haven't been interested in doing that.

Enough is enough. Tell the GOP to protect your healthcare and stop playing games. #shutdown #protectourhealthcare #constitutionalcrisis #dictatorTrump

Hey everyone, it’s Friday Funding Day, which is where I ask you to help support my campaign because our election finance laws suck! Fun fact - did you know that if we had publicly financed campaigns, I wouldn’t have to do this? You’d also stop getting “please send $5” emails and texts!

Reducing staff and increasing administrative burden creates denials of service and artificial scarcity. Disabled people know administrative burden and artificial scarcity all too well. stimpunks.org/glossary/art...

We won’t let the conversation around gun violence go away. I’m committed to passing legislation that meets the expectations of Minnesotans. Our offer to Republicans addresses mental health, school safety, support for law enforcement, and most importantly, common sense gun laws.

why do they make the expiration dates on food so tiny!?!?

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Senate Dems released a report today about DODGE & its attempt destroy Social Security and this is precisely what they should do. However though I have seen some coverage of this, I doubt the public will really take this in given everything else happening. www.hsgac.senate.gov/media/dems/p...

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Yep

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Colbert has an answer for Dicktator Trump & the ass kissing Nazis - ABC, FCC CHAIR & DISNEY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Anyone interested in contacting ABC re Kimmel??? Here's two ways: Phone number to the ABC Customer Service: 1-800-230-0229 Link to send them an email: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/art...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Special Education funding cut by Trump administration. The attacks on the most vulnerable continue. PLEASE ☎️ call your representatives in your state and tell them to save these incredibly important programs.
