Thank goodness for Sen. Sanders team. Here’s some resources for federal workers during the shutdown.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 15h

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

Question: Hegseth said that it was the military's job to break things and kill people. So why are they in American cities? What are they planning to break? Who are they going to kill? Just wondering 🤔

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Some people don't deserve to be paid? Now, what do we call people who are forced to work against their will? Without pay? So tell me? Who is it among the American citizens who should be more slave than others?

Where did the middle class go? Think about it. Us working stiffs know that WE THE PEOPLE are not paid a living wage. And now with the 'shrinking of the government,' well there goes the last of the jobs that allowed a middle class. Where are THEY gonna get a job? Or two?

Today I stood
and watched the trees let their leaves go.

War made me more sensitive to beauty.
Don’t wait for war to see it –
just look around.

I believe that, too. But it's not gonna be 'organic.' We can't just wait for the wind to change.

We just need to encourage them and vote them in.

I hate that Alderman Fuentes got man handled and cuffed, but i also hate that she stood there spouting about rights like a damn Sovereign Citizen. The only thing she showed is that might equals right. Let's choose our fights more carefully in the future, guys. We have plenty of real victims.

Krista Ross @fugnuts.bsky.social · 3d

But THEY are part of the problem. Dude, I'm 62. This is not the same world I grew up in. It's time to give the key to someone else. Someone younger. Someone that is still idealistic enough to want to make America good for everyone. Not just cling to power.

Hey furloughed fed friends,

Stop feeling GUILTY. It’s not your fault the work isn’t getting done. You didn’t ask to be at home or warming an office chair. This colossal waste is not your fault. Don’t feel bad for someone else’s mistakes.

Unplug if you can. Rest. Take care of yourselves 💚🫂

Bastards. I have no respect. They aren't cops. They aren't soldiers. They are Trump's private Brown Shirt army.
