In Chicago, bike crews are buying out street vendors so they can go home and be safe, then stocking mutual aid resources.

Capt. Jack Sharrow @sharrows.bsky.social · 2d

Cash from supporters ➡️ cash to vendors ➡️ safety of their home ➡️ food to the community. This is mutual aid. This is #BikeChi

seeing people talk about setting up mini food pantries in tandem with giving out halloween candy while corporations fund extreme makeover: white house edition is the sign of sick, broken society. i mean what in the actual fuck.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

Elizabeth Warren: U.S. soybean farmers are in trouble because China quit buying from them. Who is China buying from now?

Julie Callahan, Trump's pick for AG negotiator at USTR: "..."

Warren: What is the country?

Callahan: "China is purchasing Latin American soybeans."

Warren: "Latin American??"

So... Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) asked the 4 nominees in this hearing a simple question -- if Trump directed you to break the law, would you follow the law or follow the president's directive? -- and not one could just say they'd follow the law.

Response from Arjun Mody, Trump's pick for deputy commissioner at Social Security Admin:

"I don't believe the president would ask me to break the law."

Hassan: "That is not an acceptable answer, of course, because he has repeatedly done things that courts have found to have been breaking the law."

If judges can refuse to officiate gay weddings, gay defendants should be able to refuse to be heard by those judges. If they can’t be compelled to perform the most heteronormative of functions, why would anyone believe they are capable of putting their biases aside for something with higher stakes?

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

Make Trump & Co. sweat. 💦

Go here
Find a local protest. Show up in yooge numbers to defend the Constitution.

Power in numbers, in unity of purpose.

Make the administration fret about what will happen when they lose power to a democratic uprising.
