Since it’s Oct 1st and we are officially in shutdown, here’s some things that are impacted that directly effect the impoverished: / First HUD: www.nixonpeabody.com/insights/ale...

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

What the actual fuck?

So they pulled top-ranking, dedicated, career service members, from around the world, away from their posts to promote Hegseth's shitty book & fat shame military personnel whilst simultaneously demanding fealty from them? This is not how you book tour, bro.

He's such a piece of shit and he's always so pleased with himself and his brain is mush and his yes men are all such cringey idiots and it's so gross and I hate it all so much.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

'This could have been a Signal group chat.'

Trump doesn't just like to fuck kids; I'm pretty sure he keeps Hegseth around because he wants to fuck him too. ...he *does* have a type. 👀 #AllMan

The Trump regime doesn't have the power to overthrow the will of the American people. They need you to obey in advance. Don't.

The only requirement to be trans is that your gender identity isn't what you were assigned at birth. You know the only person who can know if that's true? You are. So you're trans if you say you are. That's it.

Someone please check in with Jeffries about whether he thinks being shot in the street by a platoon of Marines is a kitchen-table issue.

Healthcare for profit is NOT healthcare.

No. They don't need 60 votes. They can change that rule with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to advance 48 trump nominees at once. bsky.app/profile/muel...

May 31, 1951, is when the Uniform Code of Military Justice came into effect. It did for a reason…TODAY is the reason!

We live in a country where political dissidents have to video document that they’re not suicidal. This is insane.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

This was the desperately important speech that top ranking military were forced to travel from around the globe for? .......the president rambling on incoherently with, "and you have animals...........shooting at them."

This policy is 100% meant to discriminate against Black service members. It's painfully obvious Trump & his fuck-boy goon, Hegseth are trying to create a whites-only, cis/het-male military. We are witnessing the Nazification of the US Armed Forces. *Video is from six months ago.

Colonization is colonization, and it is objectively wrong.

I can't tell if Trump plans to invade Canada or use the US military domestically first; but I'm confident he's planning on doing both. His 51st state talk isn't just wishful thinking. The tech-bro oligarchs behind him are desperate to illegally seize control of Canada's natural resources.

Trump needs to be investigated - and we don't need Congress or the DOJ to do that. New from @stevenstrauss.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/state-comm...

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will. But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.

A TV talk show chatterbox elevated to Secretary of Defense talking about standards is an undiluted lack of self-awareness.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Being on social media during the collapse of the American empire is a fuckin' trip.

The stigmatization of people calling in sick pretty much guarantees burnout for abled workers & is a straight up barrier for people with chronic illness. In my +35 years of trying to hold down a full-time job, every workplace I was employed at stigmatized calling in sick. Every single one. 🧵1/5

President Trump wants to kill American citizens the right way. By Ezra Klein

Many therapists are starting to realize what most people really need right now is more time & money. There are so many arguments to support UBI & very few qualified or morally defensible reasons to be against it. All of the data, all of the science we have proves unregulated capitalism is harmful.

Right and wrong don't depend on consequences, but morality is often the most practical path.

How is Rose Byrne real? Genuinely, how? Whether it's dramatic or comedic performances, she's killing it every time.

💯 this. The degree of shock someone is feeling right now is a good indicator of how much privilege they've enjoyed up until this point. Marginalized folks saw this dystopian nightmare coming from miles away, but people who hadn't *yet* been impacted thought we were all overreacting.

When Pritzker's right, he's right.

Same as it ever was.

Karoline Leavitt is an ignorant, trash-talking pig in lipstick. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

One of the reasons why I don’t think there will be fair elections again is that everyone in the administration is acting like there won’t be. *So many* are going to jail if they’re ousted and I honestly can’t see them letting that happen.

Matt Walsh advocates for mass murdering people with schizophrenia by convicting them of who knows what and then killing them. This is political violence btw.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles, taking his cue from former and longest-serving US House Speaker ever, Denny Hastert R (rapist), who went to prison for molesting young boys Look it up

So they have all the money in the world for to bail out & support fellow fascist dictators, but no money for babies dying of starvation & preventable diseases? Got it.

🌟🌟🌟 October 18 is the next NO KINGS DAY 🌟🌟🌟 Events are scheduled across the US. #NoKings #FiftyFiftyOne #Indivisible See if there's a protest near you:

This is happening, kids - but they need us to believe we're powerless to succeed. We're not! We need to organize. We need to build community. We need to get involved in local government. The October 18 No Kings protests will be a great opportunity to connect & network with like-minded peeps.

Trump is purposefully paving the way for landlords to go back to openly discriminating against Black & POC folks.

I'm not sure what Steve Earle is up to these days, but I imagine he's pretty fuckin' angry. This song is over 2 decades old.

An all-time fave. Especially these days.

Wednesday is gonna be a good day.

Out of nowhere, he declared Portland “war ravaged” and ordered in troops. Oregon officials—Gov. Tina Kotek, Mayor Keith Wilson—immediately said it was nonsense. Portland was calm. No one had asked for help. Local leaders flatly told DJT the number of troops needed was 0. So why Oregon? 3/24

Stephen Miller, a man no one elected, is behind the Venezuelan boat strikes which have killed 17 people. He should not be making military decisions. He should not be executing strikes that take lives. Only silver lining? He has no immunity. He can (and should) be prosecuted for his crimes.

Trump is a shit stain on the underwear of America that will *never* wash out.

Hakeem Jeffries has been such a glaring disappointment. Just a mess of a man and a shit terrible politician. Too busy trying to triangulate palatable pablum to honestly hone an authentic agenda. People deserve someone who cares more about them than about the pretense of decorum in the face of fascim
