They want people to starve. The government has the money to feed people but as always w Trump, the cruelty and vendettas are the point.

🚨BREAKING: Alabama Republicans are pushing a new law that would let the state redo its primaries if the U.S. Supreme Court weakens protections against racial gerrymandering — a move that would open the door for politicians to throw out election results after voters have already spoken.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.

OPINION by @anthonylfisher.bsky.social: “Let’s not kid ourselves, racism and other forms of intolerance are already fully normalized within the MAGA movement.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

new: at least 26 unhoused chicagoans have been abducted since the start of "operation midway blitz." the full scope of people disappeared is likely much larger but is obscured by heavy criminalization, social stigma, and fewer eyes and phones around to bear witness. via @katieprout.bsky.social

Y'all keep boycotting Starbucks! I hope y'all never stopped. Fuck Starbucks! More power to the workers! More power to the unions!

Trump just gave $40 billion in taxpayer dollars to Argentina to bail out its libertarian president.

If you were looking for motivation to get politically active, to adopt a candidate, to donate, to volunteer in the midterms, let the prospect of Bannon going to jail inspire you!

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

Yes, Mr. Nazi, exactly.

Friends, Trump is gone. Listen to this. It's incredible that there is no national discourse about whether he can continue to do the job.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

On Saturday, I'll be on a panel with @samiraahmed.bsky.social and @ngoziu.com moderated by @arfranklinstein.bsky.social talking about YA scifi weirdness; on Sunday, I'll be doing a workshop, and then on a panel about YA time shenanigans with Abdi Nazemian moderated by Elise Bryant!

Thank you. Now let's hear this from @schumer.senate.gov

A reminder, there is no such thing as "conservative feminism." Conservative feminism is an oxymoron fabricated by patriarchal women for whom whiteness trumps all. Also fuck Ross Douthat. Don't put his shit on the timeline.

"[N]o religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." - Article VI, Section 3, US Constitution For people who claim to love the US Constitution unconditionally, you folks who hate Muslims don't seem to know it very well.

Viral posts about how Moms For Liberty had zero wins on election night...aren't true. They're misinformation, even dis-info. M4L did have a number of school board candidates win. You can verify that information pretty easily. They had *A LOT* of losses and their power isn't what it once was.

Holy shit. THIS IS HOW AN ANTI-BOOK BAN LAW WORKS, Y'ALL. Maryland's school board overturned a Harford County Schools ban on FLAMER. www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection. The arrest reportedly took place in front of children. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

Your must read: “In all this, though nearly one in ten New Yorkers are Muslim, our fears, our lives, are simply not part of the national conversation. Instead, the state apparatus built to target us, one built on an image of us as a dangerous other, is getting more powerful as I write this. “

"Trump canceled your flight" is about as easy as messaging gets.

“A sandwich that Lairmore testified he somehow felt through his ballistic armor on his chest, armor that is specifically made strong enough so that it stops a bullet from piercing a soldier’s heart.”

Trial of the century. Buy the defense lawyer a drink because they are bringing so much fire (and humor) to this absurd case the government is trying to mount against subway sandwich throwing dude.

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ? yeah, about that

The fascists are just so embarrassing.

If this image were a drink I would sip from it very delicately, a tiny bit at a time, so that I could make it last for hours and hours and hours.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections
