Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Trump: “It’s a war from within. We have to handle it before it gets out of control.” Translation: Lots of Americans are anti-fascist. They are too smart and empathetic for our racist, xenophobic, elitist propaganda to work on so we need to have a civil war before we lose this manufactured crisis.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Holy crap! I’m catching up on the news. This crazy, stupid, ignorant, hateful, asinine group of people in positions of power have got to go. WTH is wrong with them?

Any normal person would have a sinking heart at that speech. 🤮

Seven dems better not!!!!

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

What does an upside down rainbow mean? 🙌🌈

www.npr.org/2025/09/30/g... Remember, republicans own all three branches of government. So you can't blame democrats for a government shutdown.

Well, I’ve read enough. I have to go hug a tree now. Goodnight all 💙

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Someone said there were THREE mass shootings today and I only saw ONE on the news. I looked it up and found out there’s a whole tracking system posting all of the information and it’s horrible. massshootingtracker.site

Wait a minute… I’m pretty sure I just heard NBC nightly news use a sound bite from E.T. Can that be right???

A complete waist of time.

Mass shootings aren’t random tragedies anymore, they’re policy choices.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

Remember: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption and plunder. [Cartoon by Jace Avery]

Are you okay with this, GOP? Wait, don’t answer that.

Was it always this bad and we’re just now seeing it more? It’s worse right? Or…

Goodnight everyone 💙

Good Sunday to you… 💙
