#CaribbeanMatters: Trump's murder binge continues www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

We're gonna need a complete teardown of the media, same as with the ballroom. And I say this as someone who has been part of that machine for many years. It's moldy all the way through. We have some wonderful independent pubs doing real work but everyone else needs to be tossed in the fucking bin

Nope. Huh uh. No way. Fuck that. Hell no. Hell's nah. Noper. Negative. Negatory. Not a chance in Hell. French: Non German: Nein Polish: Nie Dutch: Nee Swedish: Nej Finnish: Ei Norwegian: Nei Russian: Nyet Portuguese: Não Spanish: No And, finally, Italian: No

Feds be in neighborhoods like this.. “Church of Jesus” lol. Oh ok

✅ Dems have overperformed an avg of 15 pts across 42 Special Elections so far this year, winning 27 of them including *flipping* 3 GOP seats! There's 30+ more coming up! Massive #NoKings turnout is good but you also need to VOTE FOR DEMS. Donate TODAY! #Blue25 secure.actblue.com/donate/speci...

Hunger in America makes Page One in Knoxville, Tenn, .. .. Indianapolis, Boston, Milwaukee .. #SNAP #Shutdown

Winning the Georgia Public Service Commission races would be a very important shot in the arm ahead of next year; with perhaps the top Senate race in America and an open gubernatorial seat that is Dems’ most realistic chance to break the Republican hold on state power, GA will be a top battleground

Virginia Dems' plan to redistrict may seem a little confusing, but @the-downballot.com breaks it down: www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

Republicans in Congress have access to this same data But instead of separating themselves from Trump, they’re doubling down on his disastrous policies Now, they know they can’t win with these bad ideas That’s why they’re trying to gerrymander every state they possibly can #VoteYesOnProp50

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Massive confusion in Missouri around the petition process to set up a referendum vote that would stop the GOP’s redistricting. I’m not so sure that the confusion was unintentional on the Missouri GOP’s part. But when they put up an obstacle, we climb over it. fox4kc.com/news/jackson...

We want to make a few things clear. Thanks to everyday Missourians, our campaign to overturn politicians’ gerrymandered maps is off to an incredible start. And that scares politicians who want to hold on to power at the expense of all Missourians.

Omg Portland REALLY understands the mission. Pass this on. We need this movement nationwide 🔥🔥

Remember this, friends.

After the Louvre jewelry heist on Sunday, a photo distributed by The Associated Press showing three policemen outside the museum — and a sharply-dressed man — confused many people on social media. Who is the dapper man? Is he even real? nyti.ms/42TI9RE

What once was.

The most powerful Democrat in the House of Representatives deigned to issue an endorsement in a municipal campaign. I think the phrase you're looking for is, "Thank you."

ICE Protest Frogs Have a Long History of ‘Tactical Frivolity’ Behind Them “That willingness to make yourself ridiculous can be very disarming,” said a professor who studied and engaged in absurd protest methods. #ICE https://www.themarshallproject.org/2025/10/22/trump-ice-portland-no-kings-protest

Or, my preference: America sees what’s happening here & decides to be Chicago

A visual reminder for all the folks who don't grasp the work required long term to enact meaningful societal change....the Montgomery Bus Boycott was 381 days.

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

I'm getting to the place that this is the primary work of politics. To have that hard convo w friends, fam and neighbors. So many did not vote, that even if you won't confront the worst bigot or maga that there is still plenty to do. I believe this applies first to this issue, but others as well.

Yes, I understand that the present administration does not know or care about such congressional mandates so this will likely end up in court as with most things these days.

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Not enough attention on how expensive gas still is. Got gas for first time this year. I think it was $4.29 a gallon ⛽️

We might have a few less seats in Congress but we’re not going to be the minority. We’re going to be the opposition. Thanks @leximcmenamin.bsky.social & @teenvogue.com for covering. www.teenvogue.com/story/maxwel...

I need the media to do better. Stop normalizing the hostile #takeover of our government as #DOGE. This is not a legitimate government entity. It’s a band of billionaire pirates with the goal of consolidating wealth among the richest in this country and robbing the underserved. #WakeUp #POTUS #Musk
