"I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen." -- Rosa Parks, who died #OTD 2005

This shouldn’t need to be said: ICE shouldn’t be cramming detainees into overcrowded temporary holding cells in the basement of a federal building. My San Diego delegation colleagues and I are putting DHS on notice and demanding they give the public answers.

Are we all just going to keep pretending that the president has free-standing authority to negotiate "trade deals"?

"A new breed of Republicans has taken over the GOP. It is a new breed which is seeking to sell to Americans a doctrine which is as old as mankind - the doctrine of racial division, the doctrine of racial prejudice, the doctrine of white supremacy." -- Jackie Robinson, who died #OTD 1972

“You’re going to end up with great health care for a fraction of the price and that’s gonna take place immediately after we go in. O.K.? Immediately. Fast. Quick.” Trump - February 22, 2016 Las Vegas MAGA rally

Die Frageformulierung ist so natürlich schon komplett bodenlos. Aber es dann so verkürzt darzustellen ist schlicht Irreführung. Vollkommen inakzeptabel.

Upset? Absolutely. On the other hand I’m an entire ass Black Woman that started preparing the week after Election Day. Preparing for republican fvckery is what we do. I can scream at clouds or l can help to get my family and friends prepared for what’s coming…as I watch folks find out🤷🏾‍♀️

Auf Basis des neuen ZDF-Politbarometers titeln nun mehrere Medien "Mehrheit stimmt Merz’ Stadtbild-Äußerungen zu". Dazu muss man den Fragetext der Umfrage kennen. Er bezieht sich auf Merz differenziertere Erläuterung, die er acht Tage nach seiner ersten pauschalen "Stadtbild-Aussage" tätigte:

I am going to bed but later I will fire off some post about planting fucked up people inside of the Democratic Party. Its in dangerous territory now. I have seen enough that I can give an opinion on it and let it fly.

Donald Trump's tearing down of the East Wing is illegal, and our leaders need to be saying so. He is breaking the law and betraying the country. This has become a rule of law issue now. savingplaces.org/stories/nati...

"Mehrheit stimmt zu, dass die Erde eine Scheibe ist - müssen Kugelerdler endlich ihre Niederlage eingestehen?" Wie sich gerade die Schlagzeilen mit Rassismus anfühlen.

Oh.

It's called extrajudicial killing: the deliberate killing of a person without the lawful authority granted by a judicial proceeding. Duterte has been charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his role in extrajudicial killings of at least 76 people.

BREAKING: North Carolina voters are suing to block the GOP’s new Trump-ordered, mid-decade gerrymander that again targets historically Black-represented districts.

📽️VIDEO: Trump is laying the groundwork to undermine elections by filling his administration with election deniers seeking to control every part of the election process. In our latest video, Marc Elias breaks down how we can fight Trump’s takeover👇 https://bit.ly/48J9iKP

Apparently Trump is now sending the FBI to the homes of innocent protestors, in part to find out who is behind the "criminal conspiracy" arranging these protests. The real reason is obviously the chilling effect on free speech for those attending. www.rawstory.com/fbi-protest/

"strengthened Medicaid?" "lowered premiums?" Are you kidding? Republicans passed the largest cut to Medicaid in history and thanks to their inaction premiums next year are set to more than double or even quadruple. War is peace, huh?

Zwar die kleinste Änderung auf der gedruckten Titelseite, aber ab morgen sind wir quasi BlueSky-Zeitung und tragen den größten und relevantesten Standard-Communities Rechnung - abseits des Standard-Forums selbst.

I’ve long supported nonpartisan redistricting and fair maps, but Donald Trump has spent months trying to rig the system instead of actually tackling rising costs for Americans. It’s no surprise that Democrats in places like Virginia would be thinking through appropriate ways to respond.

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

No words.

🚨BREAKING: Former special counsel Jack Smith is calling Republicans' bluff, turning the tables Thursday by requesting to testify publicly in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. Doubtful Chuck Grassley would allow such public testimony that would hurt the Führer.

I’ve got one

This is what you get when you don’t vet candidates. Or listen to Black folks.

“The panel, he said, will track and scrutinize the administration’s actions with an eye toward future efforts to hold federal officials and employees accountable.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/23/i...

Blowing up boats of humans; deploying hundreds of hastily trained, poorly vetted ICE armed with semi-automatic 9mm’s and financially incentivized to make arrests; destroying the WH—if you don’t think there’s at least a 50/50 chance he’s doing this to distract from the Epstein files…reconsider.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job” First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality. Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work. Third, no one should starve to death.

It's interesting that fox/oan etc aren't reporting the east wing demolition. like, ultimately I think it's a pretty minor thing in terms of the evil he's perpetrated, but the strength of that *symbol* clearly scares them, they know bad it looks

SNAP benefits that 42 million Americans rely on may not go out in November, while this administration prioritizes a $250M ballroom, $170M private jets, & other disgustingly wasteful spending. Below are resources for finding food banks & food assistance to anyone who may need it. #Pinks

After Biden convinced the senate to pass a bipartisan border bill in 2024, Trump ordered Speaker Mike Johnson not to bring it to the floor because he feared it would help Biden win. Trump's current border policy is "deport all the brown people." Bernie Sanders thinks that's better. Fuck Bernie.

I didn't vote for this is just the Children of the Chalk getting their comeuppance. What they're really saying is "I didn't vote for this for myself".

The “conservatives” couldn’t even conserve the White House.

FACTS

its worth noting Graham Platner is literally paying an influencer company, Good Influence, with his campaign funds so you know if you're getting weird push back from accounts with 200 or fewer followers, 🤷‍♂️ idk can't say for sure, but food for thought

They don’t GAF about the Constitution, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term. So when you start thinking your vote doesn’t matter, remember this: they know it does. That’s why they’re trying to take it from you. This isn’t going to end well.

Young people see how he acts and hear what he says and think it’s fine, acceptable, normal. Young people see how his followers act and hear what his followers say and think it’s fine, acceptable, normal. It’s not. It’s not fine. It’s not acceptable. It’s not normal. This is not normal.

“Although I spent many of my formative years living in the White House, I always knew it wasn’t my house. It was my home, absolutely, but not my house. The White House belongs to the American people, and that’s why we call it the People’s House.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Republican free speech regime ends talks with major trade partners because they quoted Ronald Reagan. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

What is the Times doing calling this extrajudicial murder spree “cartel strikes”? On what evidence do they ape the killers’ propaganda? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

It's been a month since Adelita Grijalva was elected & Speaker Johnson STILL refuses to swear her in because he will do anything to prevent the release of the Epstein files. He's disenfranchising the 800,000+ Arizonans who don't have a voice in the House now. Swear her in!

I'm just going to say it. The Ballroom isn't getting built. He will say the contractors were problematic. The money will disappear. And further gaslight Americans into fighting each other.

Oh my god when will his closet stop vomiting Nazi skeletons? “The Indian Wars” “Small wars are pretty enjoyable.” 🫤
