Every article that quotes Bovino should qualify it by noting that for several days he claimed that he was hit in the head with a rock before deploying tear gas; then eventually he admitted it was a lie.

Ahem

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.

Fascism? No thank you!

Ebro: Your boy was just on 60 Minutes, Cuomo, saying that you're his guy! Cuomo: No. Ebro: Trump said you're his candidate. Cuomo: *ends call*

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Remember, you can wear your red hat and roll coal in your lifted F-350 all the way to the polls and vote for the Democrat that will actually help you survive and NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW. You don’t HAVE to vote against your own self interest and you don’t have to admit it to your neighbors.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Yes, it’s obvious.

It doesn't have to be this way. We can do better, be better, form a more perfect union.

Others have said this but it bears repeating: The deeper rage over SNAP should focus on giant, multinational corporations that don’t pay employees a living wage - thus requiring your taxes to subsidize their “success.” Start there. People > profits.

Pretty good summary.

Whew!

The State’s better start playing rough. They need to start arresting these guys on State charges. Fuck federal charges. Just do it and make it stick.

Chicago is figuring it out. We need to do this everywhere.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

If there is one thing maga should take away from the utter lack of violence at thousands of 10/18 protests involving Millions of good Americans it is that we are disciplined. Something they should think about as they continue to escalate attempts to provoke violence. Don’t go poking hornets nests.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said: Somewhere in America A little Hispanic girl Is hiding in an attic And keeping a diary. #NoKings

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Please. Please. God. Give. Us. This. Miracle. ⬇️⬇️

Absolutely

Remember these would this Saturday for No Kings...

Do your best on Saturday. Above ALL else stay calm. It’s going to be so hard. You’re going to get pissed. You’re going to want to lash out. Don’t do it. Stay together. Be safe. If all else fails just walk away. I don’t want to hear about any of you getting hurt.

Don’t let them tell you the United States is not over with. The Constitution no longer applies. It’s up to us to take this country back and start again.

Take America back. Together

Demagogic president seizes money to pay standing army, arrogating to himself legislative power, while his cronies keep Congress out of session is honestly more or less exactly how the Founders thought this would end

Ok, so who has the plan for when you encounter instigators at the marches this weekend? What is the best response if you see someone breaking windows or trying to burn cars? Starting fights?

What would you say if you saw it in another country? What would you say if you had been told in 2015 that this is where we would be?
