ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

The United States Government is shut down right now because the ruling party hates working Americans but loves child rapists and billionaires.

It is sadly that simple.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is a young🪶Common Yellowthroat. Most of these have already moved out of the Northeast US for the year and we won’t see them until their #migration brings them back north.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Damn straight! 👍

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Please!!!! The Republicans are the absolute kings of red herrings!

I’m still REALLY confused by their continued claims to lower prices 200, 300, 100%.
Did they ALL fail middle school math?

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Happy #BlueSkyMonday! Don’t forget to take some time to dream!

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Joy Reid drags JD Vance for the filth he is. She does not mince words in her response to what JD has said about her and Kamala Harris and I’m here for all of it‼️We need more truth tellers like Reid, keep speaking truth to power!!💥🔥💥🔥

Congress has not voted since September 19th, and Speaker Johnson cancelled votes AGAIN.

And let me tell you why.

He doesn’t want to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva — because she would be the final vote needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger.

The answer is empathy and compassion.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

They’ve turned everyone in Chicago into extras in Stephen Miller’s villainous, unconstitutional, authoritarian fantasy

This 🪶White-breasted Nuthatch is today’s #BirdOfTheDay as it #SillyWalks upside down on the trees on a regular basis.

When your kids/grandkids/nieces/nephews ask what you did when America was falling down the fascist well… saying you posted clever & snarky memes will not be enough.

Please call your reps: 202-224-3121

Please make a plan to go to 10/18 #NoKings protest near you.

Please ask EVERYONE to do the same.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a court order blocking the president’s order to deploy federalized National Guard troops to Portland when a federal judge granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order. Read our statement.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois.

This is assault.

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word.

If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.
