@durbin.senate.gov you pathetic old coward. You and King and Shaheen are the biggest idiots in America today. We deserve to lose if this is as much fight as our leadership is going to put up. I’m ashamed of you. This is maybe the stupidest, most craven thing I’ve ever seen Democrats do.

@duckworth.senate.gov I’m a longtime supporter and a constituent, and I urge you NOT to vote to reopen the government without a guarantee to restore the ACA subsidies for a year. Don’t cave.

Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are. Independent monitors in Nigeria report 33 deaths this year in attacks against Christians (fewer than the 88 Muslims killed). But Trump cut off aid that helped save 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria. 270,000 > 33.

Do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now?
AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

This is a great callout and it would be even greater if it credited @juddlegum.bsky.social and @popular.info for reporting it
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.

No one hates Susan Collins more than I do, no one wants to see her defeated more than I do. But the Nazi tattoo guy is out. i didn’t mourn Al Franken, whom I love and respected, and I won’t shed tears for Platner. No gropers, no Nazis! It’s not that hard!

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.
The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

- It is legal to organize and fund protest.
- That someone organizes and funds promotion of a protest does not mean most, some, or any protesters are paid.
- Even if all protesters are paid, that is also legal
- It is good to oppose kings and fascism

Hey, it's October! And I keep saying that the majority of white folk in the US still approve of the way Trump is "handling immigration."
But the popularity of his immigration policies has been declining overall? Surely by now, the majority of white folk in the US would not support these ICE raids?🤡

@iceblock.app I’m sure you’ve thought of this, but: what if you released the app as a new developer, and renamed it “Ice Cream Finder,” and pitched it as a way for people to find ice cream trucks in their neighborhood? all functionality stays the same. everybody loves ice cream!

The art of the deal
So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent.
