Dr. Jane Goodall died earlier today at age 91 of natural causes. Generations of us grew up with a love for animals and nature because of her work and I wanted to honor her memory by sharing her Institutes website and the link to donate to help keep her work alive. janegoodall.org

Just try to imagine the public outcry and wall-to-wall media coverage if President Biden had cancelled $8 billion in funding to red states.

Do you think mass protest has become even more important? I do. That’s why I’m looking forward to talking to @ezralevin.bsky.social, one of the leaders of the Oct. 18 No Kings protest. Join us today at 12:30PM ET on Substack Live.

Are we great yet?

In Chump's Own Words.......

NOW is the time‼️👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

When you listen to this utterly demented imbecile— who has NO understanding of 3rd-4th grade math— if you’re not horrified that he’s leading this country, you’re obviously a MAGAt— and that horrifies decent, intelligent people.

If you're worried the shutdown will collapse our fragile democracy, that ship sailed 11/5/2024. You can't save what's already destroyed. Stop clinging to a dream that doesn't exist. Move through the ruins with your voice loud and head high. It won't be easy, nothing worth fighting for ever is.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Truth; we live near the Biloxi area... Murders are bad there...

A lot of my friends and classmates are still on active duty or in the reserves. Others have transferred to their state’s National Guard and many more are still in government service in the Department of Defense or other agencies. This post is for you, specifically. 1/12

BINGO!

Am I alone in feeling terrified??? I mean… we need a hero, a General Strike, a freaking miracle at this point 👍🏻😡😩👀‼️

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans and two voters, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ's lawsuit seeking Michigan’s complete, unredacted voter registration list. www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

It’s a bad look.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

ADP numbers for September were -32,000 on a projection of +51,000. August was revised to -3,000, marking the first consecutive negative months since the heights of Covid. This is bad.

Where have we seen this before?

🚨Breaking: I led a letter with Senators Durbin, Blumenthal, Duckworth, and Rep Ramirez demanding an independent investigation into the killing of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez by an ICE officer. Our communities deserve transparency and accountability for the deadly actions of DHS personnel.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Republicans are 100% responsible for ALL of Trump's actions. They have the power to do something. Trump has no immunity from unofficial acts, & others have none. All enablers must be prosecuted when we get power.

This is very, very bad.

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Republican Party is fueled and ruled by racism. Anybody still denying this, is a racist.

LET’S NOT FORGET: Approximately 70% of adults receiving food stamps (SNAP) work 35 hours or more a week. Nobody grows up and dreams of needing foot stamps. SNAP is a safety net we can’t afford to cut.
