You ALL need to IMMEDIATELY download a full and complete copy of your CREDIT REPORT and SOCIAL SECURITY EARNINGS RECORD! Do not screenshot, DOWNLOAD! If you don’t know how to do this, ask a family member or close friend. DO IT!

Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court has given him the Fort Knox of Americans’ most personal and private information. This reckless decision leaves millions of seniors exposed if and when this information falls into the wrong hands, inside or outside of our government.

Trump bailed out Argentina, who then undercut US farmers by selling their soybeans to China, who used be our biggest customer for soybeans before Trump drove them away with his tariffs.

This is Trump 3D chess in action.

Arrogance, Ignorance and Idiocy.

Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson was being questioned about the shutdown during this disastrous press conference he held. He literally says, “I don’t have any strategy." Then Rep. Lisa McClain jumps in, apparently realizing Mike Johnson had just blown it and she completely unravels on camera.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Anyway, here's @thenation.com profile of Graham Planter.

And yes, it is true to point out that I was politically incorrect to say that the sitting governor is *primary-ing* him. But, in a more true way, fucking bite me, y'all know what I meant.

The Maine oyster farmer embodies the populist energy that Americans have been looking for. He’s the best candidate to defeat Republican Senator Susan Collins.

Today @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social's election is certified—what excuse will Speaker Mickey Mouse Johnson use now to avoid swearing her in? Oh right, he told GOP reps to stay home to dodge the 218th vote and delay releasing the Epstein Files.

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.

1. Using humor & mockery to punch holes in fear-based authoritarian power grabs is a tried & true method

2. 1 point of such display is inspiring folks to see they're not alone in anger at this regime; that most folks agree w/them; & to fuel action

3. It's not aimed at DJT

It's building a movement

If only the Germans had dressed in animal costumes in the 1920's and 30's, Hitler would have been stopped in his tracks. I'm all for humour and satire but it's going to take more than some funny costumes.

You’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re still here. And when you protect these forces in yourself, you make it easier for others to protect them too. That ripple effect is how movements survive.

Most people have not seen the food chain up close and personal.
Haven’t looked into the eyes of cows being boarded into shipping trucks. They have not heard the screams of pigs waiting to be slaughtered. They have not seen calves separated from their mothers after birth. It’s a fucked up system.

Donald Trump is a bald man. Where are the memes showing him as completely bald on top? Stop showing him with the yellow hair on top, but show him as he is. He hates nothing more than having his lies exposed.
