Trump’s face just screams, “You had to go and ruin my moment with a medical emergency, didn’t you? Screw you.”

The “sandwich thrower” was found not guilty of misdemeanor assault. For those who don’t know, this guy threw a Subway sandwich at a CBP officer and was charged with assault on a federal officer. Sucks to be you, Judge Pirro! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

VERY frightening and infuriating. Read at your own risk. 🧵🧵🧵

And a zillion federal workers are going to work every day, doing their jobs every day, without pay and without the guarantee of pay.

🧵🧵🧵 About ICE agents and the laws they’re supposed to follow… When I say “under the law,” I mean “when we have a gov’t that operates within the rule of law” “Required to” and variations mean the same And “Giglio concerns” refers to a SCOTUS decision re: furnishing evidence & witness credibility

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

The midterms are coming, The midterms are coming, The midterms are coming!

People need to know who to vote FOR, not who to vote against. “We’re not Trump, we’re not fascists, we won’t send ICE after you & we’ll keep SNAP going” isn’t anywhere near enough. We don’t just need to take Congress. We need a supermajority in both chambers to render Trump et al impotent next year.

EVERYBODY HERE who has a Dem representative, senator; state-level rep and/or senator, governor—basically if you have a Democrat representing you in any way, shape, or form—WRITE TO THEM, CALL THEM, contact them however you need to & TELL THEM THE PARTY NEEDS TO OVERHAUL ITS MESSAGING STRATEGY NOW.

California’s PROP 50 passed!

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

You know what tonight proves more than anything else? Local elections matter. Local. Elections. Matter.

Tonight feels good. Lets enjoy the wins and realize that we are on the right track. To me, the boots on the ground messaging is working. Not even referencing the dem party. We need to ride the momentum and continue voting, continue protesting peacefully, continue recording ICE, etc. ALL OF IT

For the new folks: really important context about me. I have cancer. It's not curable. Going to chemo every other Monday makes me sick for 4-5 days but then I get 9-10 good days I would not have without the chemo. It is effectively halting cancer growth, so as long as body tolerates it I'm here!

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

It’s a fucking blue slaughter. Heheh.

Wait. Mamdani won? Democrats flipped some seats in Georgia? Virginia’s governor is a Democrat? Maine doesn’t want new voting restrictions? Could it be that people are done w/ the GOP and its shit? Now Dems just need to coalesce around a platform people can understand and overhaul their messaging.

Three facts: 1. Early voting in NYC 2025 is 5X what it was in 2021 2. Polymarket has Mamdani with a 96% chance of winning 3. Former NYC Mayor DeBlasio with an epic W T-shirt and vote

Hoping all of today’s elections send a very clear message to Republicans: “GET LOST.”

What he said: 💯 🎯

WWJD about SNAP John 6:10-12 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, He said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

Evanston, IL, is fighting back against ICE: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/crockett-c...

Oh Christ. I’m not surprised by this. Despite ICE’s actions and resulting reputation, there are a number of officials there who are still trying to operate within the boundaries of their original policies and the law. Trump et al of course don’t like the confines of the law so here we are.

Nobody deserves a billion dollars. Everyone deserves food. The end.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

When is someone going to get rid of this asshole?!

“Lines formed earlier this week at the Capital Area Food Bank's first distribution in Prince George's, Maryland. And its 300 boxes of goods ran out with people still waiting.”

All of this. But it doesn’t mean that the social safety net needs to go away. It means labor law needs to change to ensure ALL workers are compensated commensurate with cost of living AND that people who are struggling have strong access to good resources like SNAP.

So…about the military and some federal employees getting paid… 🧵🧵🧵 The methods by which they were paid are either illegal or in a legal gray area, leaning towards illegal. At some point, someone will see that and demand everyone pay that money back.

Because he’s done about 95 gajillion other things he’s not allowed to do and both Congress and SCOTUS have allowed it. The fact that he’ll be legally ineligible to do it doesn’t matter. He’ll do it anyway. And there’s a serious possibility he’ll get it.

I suppose.

#GopShitdown Day 27. It’s another Monday in hell, y’all. What are we doing today to help people get through this????? Drop your #AltCitizen actions below so we can share ideas about how to help our communities right now!!!!! 🫶🫶🫶

Just days ago, this idiot railed on illegal gambling by nba players. Now it's so prevalent it's not a big deal? Only one thing changed and thats the people hes talking about. Racism on display.

A furloughed IRS lawyer get his dream. A hot dog cart as performance art. We love it. What other stories have you seen of people finding joy and connection during these ridiculous times?

Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare. I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛 #NoHunger

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

He's making it clear he has no plans to leave. And since there seem to be no rules or laws stopping him from doing whatever the fuck he wants, he can claim a third term - if he's still alive by then. He can barricade himself inside the new East Wing bunker he's building- and who will stop him?

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right. They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus. Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

This is sick. This is so sick. What the absolute fuck happened to this country?

The no new wars guy seems to be trying real hard to get us into a new war There is zero reason to send CSG-12 to the Caribbean.

Dear Donnie Trump: You have a lot of federal employees and families who are losing their insurance next year and have to find new, quite possibly lower-quality, insurance or risk letting Russell Vought do it for them. Thanks a fucking lot. But you don’t care and neither does literally anyone else.

🧵Each day creeping towards November 1, the pit in stomach grows for those who would lose SNAP benefits. Even if you do not receive SNAP benefits in any way or need to, please familiarize yourself with where foodbanks are located nearby. Find out how to contribute to them and keep them functioning
