I will be at No Kings Houston,Texas. We will not be derailed in our fight for America. Fuck Trump and his threats to invoke the Insurrection Act. If he does millions more will turn on him and his outlaw regime. The Trump Regime is the enemy. Not the people of the United States.

Uh... so he's openly trying to rig a foreign election for a friend of his and a friend of his top donor—Musk—by saying that Argentinians will only get $20 billion dollars in American aid if they vote for Milei?

So this money Trump is stealing from US taxpayers is not to help Argentina, but his pal?

As President Obama tries to rally support for Proposition 50 in California, let's take a moment to remember that man does not owe any of us a damn thing and we need to be grateful to him for steppiing up and being one of the good guys again.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I have just discovered "6-7" as a thing. I do not see the appeal.

a man wearing a music band shirt is holding a skateboard over his shoulder

Alt: A late-middle-aged Steve Buscemi walks in carrying a skateboard, wearing a grey t-shirt saying "music band" and wearing a backwards baseball cap so he can ask, "How do you do, fellow kids?"

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Not surprised, but Politico got a hold of text messages from a bunch of young Republican operatives talking about how much they "love Hitler" and joking about slavery and rape.

The old GOP would have shunned these losers into obscurity, but Trump's party will give give them government jobs.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

If you agree that mandatory digital ID cards are a terrible idea, please ask your MP to sign my motion opposing them.

These plans risk turning us into checkpoint Britain. They must be scrapped.

In a nutshell, both in Chicago and Seattle, ICE will no longer be able to kidnap people off the streets, public spaces can no longer be used by ICE for ANYTHING! No masks. ICE must have ID and show it. Police can now protect residents from ICE.

Let the lawsuits be filed. Go ahead.
