Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Absolutely wild that congressional Republicans woke up today and decided to call millions of patriotic Americans terrorists. If you want to change your profile picture today to tell people you're showing up on October 18th, we've got you covered.

Republicans are getting dragged on CSPAN every day for supporting Trump’s authoritarian regime & billionaires.

Keep calling and making noise.

The government shutdown is on them—instead of governing, they’ve chosen to dismantle democracy, funnel our taxes to billionaires, and take away healthcare.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Can Democrats Win Back Rust Belt Voters?

New research from the Center for Working-Class Politics shows that economic populists are popular, but the Democratic label is a drag.

A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 1d

Perry asks directly whether the feds started the alleged violence in Chicago.

She asks whether it matters if the inability to execute the law was "caused by the federal agents."

Hamilton: "No, your honor."

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Oklahoma’s Republican governor criticizes guard deployment. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, a Republican and the chairman of the National Governors Association, on Thursday criticized the deployment of Texas National Guard troops to Illinois as a violation of his beliefs in federalism and “states’ rights.”

His comments, in an interview with The New York Times, marked the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections. Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois and other Democratic elected officials have been strongly critical of the move and have implored Republican governors to join the opposition.

Mr. Stitt on Thursday said, “We believe in the federalist system — that’s states’ rights,” adding, “Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

Greg Sargeant is correct: elected Democrats are not reading the urgency sufficiently. The only way to get them to budge is to pour on the pressure. Hound the Democrats and make them fucking get to work opposing MAGA fascist overreach, like YESTERDAY! - newrepublic.com/article/2014...
