It's midnight in D.C., and the government has officially shut down.   Why? Because Republicans don't even want to TALK about how to stop your premiums from doubling.   This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Make sure everyone knows it.

I think we need to normalize saying to people we get pulled into conversation with - even our own relatives - some version of, "Oh... I see you're a Fox News watcher. Given that we're operating on an entirely different set of information about what's real, there's not much more I can say."

This is a comment taken from an Alt National Park Service post on FB. It defines what is going on right now in Jabba The Hut's head.

I see only one person doing actual work here. Glad he got away. He isn't paid enough.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

This is what unity looks like.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

She has legitimate autism cause research that does NOT go counter to any claims RFKjr makes except one. The claim that the one and only cause of autism is vaccines.

Does anyone who isn’t a brainwashed MAGAt or Trump sympathizer (aka a brainwashed MAGAt who can’t face it) doubt that the Trump administration was murdering people at alligator Alcatraz and throwing the bodies into the swamps? It was pretty obvious that was always the plan.

And while we're remembering all the hideous things in Trump's mayhem regime, let's not forget to #releasetheEpsteinfiles

Here's my favorite find for the Sunday Funnies Award. the whole comment thread takes it to another level.

Wake up America! Our tech titans WANT a monarchy. They're using the money you spend on their products to subjugate all of us by supporting authoritarianism. We need the biggest turnout EVER on October 18, No Kings Day 2.0. @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @jesscraven101.bsky.social

J6ers wanted to hang Mike Pence, all were rewarded with pardons. Same crowd, same expectations.

If you suck up to the regime properly, you can have your $100,00 charge waived. My suggestion? Don't sell your soul.

Nextstar canceled Jimmy Kimmel over his remarks about Charlie Kirk. Here in the SF Bay Area, the local media owned by Nextstar Media Group is KRON4. Sorry, KRON4. You used to be my favorite local news channel. We are parting company.

Well let me refresh your memory Commander Bone Spurs.

Prices have already gone up 25% in response to the 4% COLA raise most people got this year (but not those pesky minimum water earners. They just get screwed over repeatedly.) Add another 25% on top of that and we all will have to start backyard bartering to survive.

Some important screenshots of what I just posted. (This is in the comments of that post.)

We need more of this in our lives.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Let's start repeating the solutions as often as the GOP repeats the lies.

Let's try ramping up humane solutions, like tiny house communities, universal healthcare, a vital mental healthcare system, a living wage. Many homeless people have checked out because the system has sucked them dry. We have to say the humane solutions at least as often as they say "kill them."

This says it all. This is the america we have become. No mention of the kids who got killed.

Seriously? On a day that there was a school shooting in his state, Polis honors a guy who said that mass shootings are the price we pay for "freedom"?! Prove that you deserve better, Colorado.

Greed overcomes all truth.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

It's the Working Families Are Suckers Act. Don't let them rebrand it as anything else.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

This seems remarkably appropriate today.

It’s the Confederate Army retaking the Union states (and the nations Capital). This is the civil war redux GOP turned MAGA Party has been pushing since Reagan kicked off with a dog whistle 1980 speech on (irony alert) “states rights” in Neshoba, Miss where the Klan murdered 3 freedom riders.

Oh I am 100% down for the Blue State Coalition using states rights to hilt. All's fair in love and saving democracy!
