Why?

To show fellow Americans that the vast majority of us reject this: we don’t want a dictatorship, or Christian nationalism, or techno-fascism; for everyone who is unaware of or doesn’t attend a protest, we show them they’re not alone—that millions stand with them, and that they can resist too.

He's cracking up because Dem knows his games that he's squeezing people with the healthcare bill that Dem is not letting it pass, he's to be blamed for his cruelty. This bullshit is to shift blame to Dem from his short changes. Mike Johnson is a career liar.

Mike Johnson: "Their counter-proposal CR would spend $1.5t and take away the $50b that we passed into law just on July 4 to prop up rural hospital. Who cares about healthcare here?"

That would be the $50b you passed into law - after DELETING $150b from the health care budget - wouldn't it, Mikey? Holy Jesus, you're a whole 'nother level of hypocrisy.

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.

The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

Reform are trying to bring 🍊💩’s policies here. They are funded by the ultra religious & far right Heritage Foundation. The numbers of women & babies dying in the US since they enacted their abortion ban has shot up. For the sake of the lives of the women & girls in your life do not vote for Reform

@zackpolanski.bsky.social . Next time they mention women’s rights . Mention green MPs prochoice voting records . Reform MPs voted for NC106 to ban telemedicine access in June . Which would of disproportionately effected women in abusive relationships

Every shutdown exposes who matters

workers, not politicians.

If a few thousand federal employees can stall the machine, imagine what a united workforce could negotiate.

Legally. Loudly.

ITS REALLY NOW OR NEVER YALL!

Many of those compositions were penned overseas and dumped in our country without sufficient tariffs collected. A city that isn't a Democratic hellscape would have played more Copeland and John Phillip Sousa. #MAGA

Federal workers are locked out of their jobs or working without pay. These workers inspect our food, make it safe to fly and so much more. They’re not political pawns—they’re the backbone of our country.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

No one who pardoned J/6 protesters that beat cops, etc. should ever be forgiven. This was treason and he’s doing worse today.
