They literally ruin everything they touch

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

How sport unites us In a divided world, fandom is a social superpower

“(Survey) found that strong sports fans were more likely to seek connections across political divides, to support democracy and to pursue a plethora of civic actions, such as giving to charity, donating blood and voting in local elections. Crucially…Fans have more friends.” on.ft.com/3JG0zyT

This is really appalling: Rep Adam Smith tells me that in a briefing, Pentagon officials said they reserve the right to kill people who are "affiliated" with their list of "narco-terror groups."

But under questioning, they wouldn't define what "affiliated" means!

A Nature poll found that 75% of U.S. researchers are considering leaving the country.

Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢

this is insane.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

DAILY MEMO: Agents Ziptie Minor and Tear Gas Oxnard Residents While Searching for ‘Anti-Ice’ Protester From Camarillo Raid

American media thinking they can redefine what a ceasefire is.

No, sunshine, a ceasefire is not something you turn off and on like freaking waterboarding.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

causing poverty - a primary outcome of criminal law - does not support victims of sexual violence. Expanding police powers has never in the history of patriarchy reduced, halted, nor prevented sexual violence. Increasing inequality in fact strongly correlates with higher rates of violence.

🚨🚨

I know im not American, but I want to say - I was in America last November.

Yeah.

So at the very least, go out and vote in the midterms. That's all. Vote.

Use your voice.

Its what Janeway would do.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE? According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Trump claims that ICE agents are in constant danger. The data tells an entirely different story.

According to stats from the agency's website, the deadliest threat to ICE agents is not immigrants, but COVID-19.

The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

tl;dr: Trump struck a terrible deal with Xi, but Trump is too stupid to realize that.

Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses Users Film and Harass Massage Parlor Workers “The shameless use of covert recording technology at massage parlours to gain likes, attention, and online notoriety is both disgusting and dangerous.”

“The videos show how Meta has built an entire supply chain for dangerous, privacy violating content on the internet. It sells glasses that allow people to surreptitiously film others in public and operates a social network where inflammatory, outrageous content is rewarded and monetized…”

DOJ Scrubs Jan. 6 Attack From Court Record After Suspending Career Prosecutors Read more here.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

In the meantime Mainers are stepping up.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

In no uncertain terms, THIS is exactly what’s happening right now.

🆘🇺🇸

He's gonna die and he's gonna take us all down with him. Crazy loon!
Californians who want to help stop Trump's power grab, vote YES on PROP 50 and return your ballot ASAP before November 4. In fact, in order not to forget, fill out your ballot and mail it today! Fight back and defend democracy!
