3.5 million Texans on SNAP are set to lose benefits due to a Republican shutdown trying to rip healthcare away from the 4.4 million Texans on Medicaid (which pays for 48% of Texas births). Instead, money and resources wasted on nonsense like this:

Hope you’ll join us for free events in Collin County on Thursday (6:30), Bryan–College Station on Saturday (2:00), and Waco on Sunday (2:00). Looking forward to seeing you there! Details at PoweredXPeople.org

Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

SNAP benefits won’t go out in November. People of conscience all over the nation are already coming together to fill the gap and fill stomachs. My concern is that we won’t talk enough about how it’s not supposed to be this way.

via @wired.com: Today’s high schoolers face an uncertain road ahead. Evolving factors like AI and the Trump admin are changing what most professions could look like in the next 10 years, let alone 50. Now, students interested in STEM are asking: What can my career look like, and how do I get there?

Your neighbor’s contraception? Not your business. Your coworker’s pregnancy? Not your business. A stranger’s abortion? Definitely not your business. Everyone deserves the right to make their own decisions about their body, health, and future without judgment.

Pregnant Women, DON’T TAKE PARENTING ADVICE FROM A CONVICTED FELON WHO OWNED A TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MOST NOTORIOUS CHILD RAPIST IN MODERN HISTORY.

This.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

And that's with cutting all kinds of social services. Turns out invading your own cities and states is expensive...

These guys get $50k signing bonuses. Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos. They get almost no training, many couldn’t pass an open book exam & they’re allowed to hide their faces. They’re swinging assault rifles around in public. Abolish ICE

As a veteran with multiple combat tours, this “No Kings” poster touched my heart more than any of the other hundreds of great signs I saw this weekend Love this lady so much for honoring her veteran and the cause he died for

Good morning! Today is the first day of early voting for the Texas Constitutional Amendment Election. Early voting runs until Friday, October 31 (Halloween!) and Election Day is Tuesday, November 4.

Former Chris Christie aid Kevin Tomafsky sentenced to ten years in prison for raping a 6 year old. His victim will still be a minor when he’s released. There’s something wrong with the sentencing guidelines when a man who does this to a child can be out before the child even reaches adulthood.

This, it seems, is an early preview of Trump’s lasting political legacy: Republicans are no longer apologizing, nor are they pushing out racist, bigoted allies when they inevitably find themselves embroiled in controversy. trib.al/Zhl2amF

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Friendly reminder that Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops Tuesday and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about those who abused her and the cost of silence. Buy it. Read it. Give the woman some justice.

Bill Nye, former host of educational series “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” took the stage at Washington, D.C.’s “No Kings” rally Saturday to warn those peacefully protesting Trump that “we are confronting the possible end to our republic.” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

How much time do you spend fighting for our democracy online? Would you consider taking some of that time & volunteering to contact voters for Prop 50? I guarantee it makes a difference & it's very empowering. Consider calling voters. It's +something you can do from anywhere. We need you!

So, MAGA, you still think your King, Trump, deserves a Peace Prize for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire that didn't even last a week? For wanting a war with Venezuela? For helping Putin occupy Ukraine? For unleashing ICE against Americans? Cool, cool.

If trump wants to take responsibility for a peace deal, this is on him as well

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Ran into Ted Cruz at the airport and called him out for his BS lies and shutting the government down

I’m trying to imagine what it would’ve looked like if every federal agency under Obama in 2009 joined MySpace with the explicit goal of trolling conservatives. This country is so far gone that it’s hard to picture what any of this would’ve looked like in a previous era.

We need to stop labeling all men as predators. That is actually helping to create this new Republican movement that’s anti-feminist. Look at the group chat from those young Republican men. We need to be better as feminist to also addressed mens issues when men are abused or taken advantage of

One of the most sensible things I've read in a very long time.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Texas should be a place where working families thrive, not billionaires and corporations. On Nov. 4, you’ll vote on 17 constitutional amendments that impact us all. Read our analysis below and see how we can build a Texas where people set the agenda.

The Trump admin is using the shutdown to make it harder for people to get reproductive health care. They are working to fire the staff that oversees the Title X program, which helps provide affordable birth control, cancer screenings, and other reproductive health care across the country.

Fuck this fucking crazy state! Ahhhhhhhh! BTW, NO KINGS in Houston is collecting books to DONATE to libraries, so bring some books out Saturday!

Alarming report on FDA political interference. Scientists are being asked to find data supporting predetermined conclusions on autism treatments, vaccines, SSRIs - the opposite of how science works. We need evidence-based regulation, not regulation-based evidence. www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/f...

Have any of y'all heard about Larry Bushart Jr.? I ask, because I hadn't. Watch this video and catch up on what's being done to him over a meme he posted. He wasn't fired. He wasn't "canceled". He was arrested. Based on lies. We should be outraged by this. #SheShed

Republicans could have passed an actual budget with a simple majority through reconciliation. They didn’t have the votes within their own party to pass their own legislation, which is why Republicans *chose* a CR which *requires* them to negotiate with the minority party 🧵
