CW: pet loss/grief

Almost 2 weeks ago I had to help my cat Atlas cross over into the next life. He was 16, and in great shape for his age, until he suddenly wasn’t. I’m grateful that his decline wasn’t more prolonged, but I am still devastated. I feel completely lost without my best buddy 💔

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.
I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

It cannot be stressed enough how important mutual aid networks are about to become. These will be tantamount to replacing the cut benefits in the coming weeks. Reach out within your communities. Build connections, talk to people. Ask how you can help each other. When we build solidarity, we win!

I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.

Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Illinois has now achieved its 10th credit rating upgrade since I took office.

It reflects our continued growth in financial standing and speaks volumes to our state's commitment to fiscal discipline.

With each upgrade, it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

Republicans say they care about federal workers, but today they blocked my bill to pay ALL federal workers, servicemembers, and contractors and stop Trump’s illegal firings.

I hope they’ll join us to get our public servants paid — but not in a way that lets Trump turn around and fire them anyway.
My bill would pay ALL federal workers during the shutdown. Republicans blocked it.

Just disgusting.
A screenshot of a post on X that reads: Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning: "God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks. "He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says. Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

NEW: As D.C. residents continue seeing MPD officers working with ICE agents, there's been silence from a key place – the D.C. Council. Activists and some members now say the council should hold a public hearing to get answers. For @51st.news: 51st.news/mpd-dc-polic...
Questions remain about MPD’s work with ICE. Activists want lawmakers to step in
They say the D.C. Council should publicly question MPD about cooperation on immigration enforcement.

People really need to wrap their heads around HOW ATTENUATED our election cycles have gotten.

They're acting like the Maine primary was a race between Platner and Mills only and it's too late for anyone else to jump in.

The deadline to REGISTER FOR IT is in MARCH!

Go out and recruit SOMEONE ELSE

They have nothing to do with this shutdown and shouldn't suffer the consequences. Tune in:

Day 23 of the #GOPShitdown y’all. Tomorrow is the first full missed paycheck for Feds who are working without pay or furloughed. So let’s keep sharing resources. If you know of resources to assist with bills, cash, groceries, gas to get to the jobs that aren’t paying us, please drop them below ✊✊✊

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

I'm not any kind of U.S. history buff, I don't know much about architecture and I've never given a lot of thought to historical preservation. But still, I find these images of the East Wing demolition to be viscerally gutting. I'm guessing a lot of other Americans are equally horrified.

Trump posted a clip about prosecuting Obama, lied about a summit with Putin, took a foreign made excavator to the East Wing of the White House while he dined with GOP Senators on a paved over Rose Garden a month into a government shutdown but tell me again how Biden was old.
