The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

27 million pounds of chicken for food banks were canceled by the Trump admin.

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.

Tariff costs to companies this year to hit $1.2 trillion, with consumers taking most of the hit, S&P says. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/t... #Tariffs #Consumers #Economy #Business #Bills

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Washington Post v. Democracy Docket on today's Bolton news. I cannot express how dangerous it is that legacy media is normalizing Trump's targeting of his political opponents. I don't like Bolton. But what is happening here is dangerous and wrong. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

Sensors indicate a huge mass of truth and sarcasm hitting our screens!

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.  Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Hot off the presses! If you need a bigger size to print your stickers let me know!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week. Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown. The cruelty is endless.

Earlier this year, two Republicans were sworn in less than 24 hours after their elections. It’s been 20 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her race and Speaker Johnson’s still dragging his feet. It’s time to swear her in.

Nice recap

The brown people aren't stealing your jobs. The orange man is stealing your future.

There are very few stores left in Portland that aren't made of wood. FYI

They shut down the government with a partisan plan that has us barreling toward a national health care crisis — and they won't even come to the table. Oh, and House Republicans have been on a paid vacation for weeks. They just don't give a damn about anyone other than their billionaire buddies.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Noem’s agenda for the trip has not been announced. Sen. Wyden had a blunt response: “Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she’s been sent by Trump to incite violence." https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/10/kristi-noem-visiting-portland-today-city-officials-confirm.html

When this finally ends and a new administration is in place, we need to disband ICE, and CBP and rebuild. We then need to prosecute all those that signed up to participate in these raids. There should be no mercy, just as they are not showing to Americans.

"The authoritarian will hurt you if you do not cooperate with them. But a liberal regime will not punish you for having cooperated with authoritarians. So your incentives are clear." How do you fix this?

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.
