Listen to this nurse: when families can’t afford food or rent, doubling their health premiums will push them off insurance. Communities will suffer. People will die. And what did Republicans do? They shut down the government and took a vacation. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn #USDemocracy #Pinks

Shooting priests in the face with pepper balls : normal Naked people on unicycles : WE NEED MARINES

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald. I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Who would have thought that 25 times as many people would be getting their daily news updates from a Boston College history professor (Heather Cox Richardson, who has 2.5 million subscribers) than from the Washington Post.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

The medication stockpile bill is the bill I had pegged this year as the most important kind of bill to pass given federal threats, with a short time window to make it happen. Washington passed the same bill earlier this year. It's so shameful for Newsom to veto this bill.

3 days left to demand tighter regulation of the oil storage facility in northwest Portland

It’s happening.

Adelita Grijalva has yet to be sworn in.

D’Angelo was one of the most widely revered artists of the past 30 years. He began his career as a songwriter for other artists, but quickly asserted himself as a solo star with his 1995 debut 'Brown Sugar.' More: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

Sounds legit.

Is it true that debt is "soaring" & "crushing"? (educationdata.org/student-loan...) Is it true that "degrees" "don't yield jobs"? (bsky.app/profile/mcop...) Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers (Or. The. Magazines).

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents? MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

“We did not consent to playing the video in its current form, as we believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” said Molly Prescott of the Port of Portland. See the list of airports standing up to Trump here: https://bit.ly/4n8u6Pw

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!? NOOOOO!!!!!!

6. There is no such thing as free violence. All violence harms the wielder. Every time someone tries to sell you on the idea that there is something we can do, without cost, that harms other people, realize that they are lying to you.

Unbelievable story of Afghan refugee, a highly vetted fluent English speaker who helped the US against the Taliban and now lives here with his US citizen kids, declared “illegal” and perhaps about to be shipped home by the Trump admin to his likely death

CBS aired a segment by Olivia Reingold—a reporter for the Weiss-founded Free Press—in which NYPD officers are worried about Mamdani, with some “considering retiring.” The evidence? Four unnamed officers quoted out of ~33,000. The story is thinly sourced, fearmongering, tabloid drek. trib.al/hfqsrL0

what could it possibly mean? huge white tents set up in early October, guarded daily, empty. Tent art? No, it's the 59th annual world's largest international #LuccaComicsAndGames and it's, like, not the view but hey, art. It won't start for ANOTHER TWO WEEKS lucca2025.luccacomicsandgames.com/en/home

That certainly says it all. Mouthpiece Mike, who typically claims to be unaware of anything, is up to speed on this question. Confirming he’d welcome more violence and abridging of citizen’s Constitutional rights. There’s no condoning the brutal and illegal actions of these federal agents. 🤨

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Reporter: Latino immigrants in Memphis who are legal residents are afraid to go to work Gov. Bill Lee (dodges question): “If they’re not a criminal element, then they shouldn’t be afraid.” As tone deaf as it gets when Trump’s ICE goons are assaulting legal residents & citizens

BREAKING: 45,000 health care workers just launched the biggest strike of the year. Workers at Kaiser Permanente on the West Coast and in Hawaii have walked out to secure a contract. These essential workers are fighting for patient care, good wages, and decent staffing.

🧑‍🌾 FARMER: “BAILOUTS DON’T WORK. Trump is destroying our markets.” As @rustygrills & @tnhousegop beg Trump to bailout farmers, farmers are begging the tariffs to stop so they can get back to work. Why won’t Republicans stand up to him? @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @GovBillLee

The Washington Post’s daily circulation has fallen below 100,000. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

AAAAHHHH

We can't enable the fascist, because that would make US the fascists.

This. And this again.

It seems to be everywhere. Yes, everywhere.

All 1,966 Palestinian prisoners scheduled for release today have boarded buses at Israeli detention facilities, Reuters reports.

Two workers are hard at work loading full boxes of grapes to be taken to cold storage in Mettler, CA. It was already 90° at 1 pm which made this physically demanding job even harder. To load the truck they had to be in the direct sunlight lifting heavy 20+ lb boxes. #WeFeedYou

WUT?!
