On this important day of mobilization, don't be scared off by self-appointed experts giving you a bunch of rules for how to protest or what not to do. The most important thing we need is more people in the streets, period. Our safety comes from numbers. As a criminal defense lawyer for decades...

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

When I get this kind of response to a jokey tweet I always want to ask what administration meets the reply guy’s no harm, no mistakes standard. Because I can’t think of any, but that doesn’t make Trump any less exceptionally corrupt, incompetent, and malicious. But I just block instead.

People are still doing “there aren’t going to be midterms” posts as we see these people struggle to handle a guy in a frog costume

Look, here’s a fucking idiot bashing Dems for clout who has never heard of JB Pritzker (just for one of many good examples of Democrats who are in fact calling out ICE). This bort nebbish was reposted into my feed by a weird Twitter refugee who is good at LOLs bad at politics. Many such cases.

So this IL Hospital Association memo describes an incident where ICE detained a US citizen, gave them HEART PROBLEMS, took them to a hospital where the fought with medical personnel, then left when they realized they detained a CITIZEN.

We are on the offensive for the first time this year, we're winning against this admin & people are acting like we're at the cusp of the Civil War crossed with the Enabling Act crossed with the Years of Lead. I am begging people to get a fucking grip.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week
House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period. Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. 

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

Pretending every huge peaceful protest is worse than January 6th while also pretending January 6th never happened.

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Johnson knows that there’s devastating stuff in the Epstein files.
He and Trump are willing to do any amount of harm to the American people to conceal it.

There is a style of management which does this, almost entirely defined by its lack of sufficient theory of mind to understand how other people would react to this.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
