Why is this platform moving so slowly?

Federal judge blocks Trump from deploying Oregon National Guard to Portland oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/10/04/f...

NEW: Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced President Trump intends to federalize 300 state National Guard troops “in the coming hours" over objections from state and city leaders. We resolutely condemn this potential escalation. It's a power grab meant to intimidate and torment Chicago's communities.

The troops are coming to Chicago, fam. Remember, we have resources for this moment. Connect to ongoing efforts. Chicagoans love Chicago, and we will support each other.

I need someone to explain this person’s racial and cultural background

Horrific.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court upheld a ruling that blocks President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. The president can't rewrite the 14th Amendment with the stroke of a pen.

New polling suggests that Trump’s efforts to falsely claim that Democrats shut down the government because they want to provide “free health care for illegal aliens” are not working. Nearly half of Americans blame the shutdown on Trump and Republicans in Congress, and for good reason.

The American people are smart. They know Trump and Republicans control government and Democrats do not. LAST MONTH SENATE REPUBLICANS CHANGED THEIR DUMB RULES TO ALLOW A MAJORITY VOTE. Then can do so again. GOP Senate can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.

Think about ways to expand what's good and improve on the good.

Indeed💜

Sounds like a different company is needed. I hope the City Council upholds local law.

This you, Trump?

Indivisible brief, talking points, and call scripts if you need it: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

State of play: King (Maine), Cortez-Masto (Nevada), and Fetterman (Asshole) caved. GOP will look for more on the next vote. Top targets are the others who caved in March: Schatz (HI) Durbin (IL) Gillibrand & Schumer (NY) Hassan & Shaheen (NH) Peters (MI) Keep an eye on Warner/Kaine in Virginia too.

Outstanding💫

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

In LA, community organizing has played a major role in slowing ICE down. Here are the strategies I saw while I was there. Note: This is a shorter cut of a longer video that’s available on my other socials. All of which can be found here: linktr.ee/kevinfoster

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are here working for you. We're ready to negotiate a deal that ensures affordable, accessible health care for the American people. Republicans didn't show up to work. Republicans hold the House, the Senate, and the White House - if there is a shutdown, it's theirs to own.

The GOP SHUTDOWN of the federal government will: 🚨Skyrocket costs 🚨Screw up essential services 🚨Abandon disaster victims 🚨Make everyday life even WORSE for Americans This is America after nine months of Donald Trump.

This part.

The way they play pretend at all the things they’ve never done and don’t know is dangerous.

Too many shitty people grew up being told to “be themselves.” That’s not good advice for everyone, folks. Some people should try to be like somebody else.

NEW: State of Oregon & Portland sue to block Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to protect an ICE facility in that city. Governor says Trump may've acted on old videos from 2020 clashes at fed courthouse. w/@kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Colombian President Gustavo Petro gave one of the most chilling speeches in recent history before the United Nations, and it has been totally ignored by US news media.

Too funny

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Spain and Italy are sending warships to protect unarmed citizens bringing aid to the starving people of Gaza. Israel is a terror state engaged in deliberate mass starvation and killing of civilians. We need full sanctions. Full boycott and international action to end the genocide.

Reminder that "not acting" shapes the future as much as "acting" does and that not choosing is a choice.

I am hopeful all these smaller to mid-size quakes are releasing pressure on the tectonic plates.

At some point, we just have to say enough.

A study tracking 2.4 million children found no link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism.

We're back from our summer break with an incisive analysis from La Defensa's Leah Perez on how a history of racist policing in Los Angeles has amplified the violence of ICE and the National Guard to create the authoritarian spectacle of a city "under federal occupation."

I appreciate this conversation. It has me thinking about backlash in a global context in connection with colonialism and imperialism. Thank you, @nhannahjones.bsky.social 💫
