(next to an image of the Capitol and a hand holding a megaphone) STOP THE TRUMP SHUT DOWN

Many Republicans quietly agree that something needs to be done about the Trump-led healthcare cost crisis, and we need to get them on the record to pressure GOP leadership into negotiating an end to the shutdown. Make sure your Members of Congress hear from you: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Micah on Bluesky: “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 see you all there”

Ron Filipkowski on Bluesky: “The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists.”

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “A top Republican in Congress just called millions of Americans terrorists. The last No Kings protests saw 4-6 million people turn out. They were peaceful. They were joyful. There were American flags everywhere. Those of us who will be participating next weekend in what Emmer calls a "hate rally" for "terrorists" love our country - particularly its promise that we're all created equal, that we all have the right to speak freely, to enjoy equal protection under the law, to believe what we want, and to choose our leaders without fear of reprisal. The No Kings protests are happening because Emmer and Trump and his regime are trampling on those rights and freedoms.”

Leah Greenberg on Bluesky: “"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"”

MAGA wants us afraid and divided, but we’re not backing down. Let’s make October 18 the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Good lord, @cnn.com.
A “threat he attributed to Democratic politicians calling for violence against conservatives and Christians.”
NO DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS ARE CALLING FOR VIOLENCE.
Your article neglected to mention that.
If you’re going to write this rubbish, at least ask your sources for facts.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Trump’s Immigration Push Diverts U.S. Agents From Drug, Money and Sex-Crime Cases Federal investigators are resigning, and morale is low, as they juggle complex cases and detain migrants.

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded.

“A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected.

“Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed”

Like everyone, I hope this is a lasting peace deal. That said, it's pretty disgusting to watch some political journalists trip over each other in competition to muse about a Nobel Peace Prize for a president who is currently deploying troops against American cities, violently weaponizing an apparently unaccountable police force against American citizens, suppressing freedom of the press, shutting down free speech for corporations and campuses to leverage bribery deals, openly threatening and cajoling federal judges, cutting many billions in foreign aid that will lead to millions of deaths globally, engaging in the extrajudicial murder of foreign citizens, placating dictatorial regimes with widely documented human rights abuses, and undermining global stability with third-rate mafia tactics. It's tragic to witness how quickly informed journalists are folding to the fascism materializing in front of us because they don't want to be targeted next.

- Forbids the use of any municipal property as a staging area or for other use by ICE activities.
Thank you.

- Requires them to follow legal orders given by local law enforcement.
- Makes clear they are subject to arrest and prosecution if they violate the law.
- Forbids anyone not employed by a federal agency or the military from participating in ICE activities.

I ask that you enact an ordinance that:
- Requires all law enforcement, including ICE and military, be unmasked when on duty.
- Requires the agency for which they serve to be clearly identifiable.
- Requires them to display a badge with number or other identifying information.

In light of the fact that ICE is already operating in our city, I am writing to ask you to be proactive in protecting our citizens from the types of abuses we have seen in Chicago and Portland.
2/5

I emailed my City Council members today to ask them to enact protection against #ICE abuses.
🚨Please do the same!

Here is the text I sent:

A Thing You Can Do Right Now To Help Protect The Right To Vote The U.S.

Looking for one thing you can do right now to help protect the right to vote? It will only take a few minutes, and you can share it with all of your friends. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-thing-yo...

@cnn.com, this is utterly irresponsible. You need to make it IMMEDIATELY clear that this is a file photo from decades ago.

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

Would that include the GOP legislators who aren’t bothering to show up for work?

A petition to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) would require documentary proof of citizenship for ANYONE using the federal voter registration form. This is designed to suppress our #vote.
Comment period ends 10/20. Let them know what you think!

My little buddy was busy yesterday evening - celebrating #Caturday, I guess.

Black Hawk helicopters raiding apartments? Air space cleared for drone surveillance? Children zip-tied???

The GOP doesn’t like the “fascist” label, but they seem to be doing their very best to earn it.

Demand that your legislators speak out about #ICE! Tips on how to call in my pinned post.

Republicans are not working on the #TrumpShutdown in good faith. Republicans need to do their jobs, get back to the negotiating table, protect our health care and take away Trump’s blank check.

🚨 Keep up the pressure! Call your legislators and the leadership! 🚨

ICE impersonator incidents rise during Trump’s second term | CNN A CNN review has found two dozen incidents of people posing as ICE officers in 2025 – more incidents than during the prior four presidential terms combined.

Neguse: Trump can threaten all he wants, but House Democrats won’t be bullied. Republicans may have forgotten Congress is co-equal; we haven’t.

We don’t work for Donald Trump.
We work for the American people🔥

They have a survey for whether you’re satisfied with the web site. I suggest offering your very best feedback.

I have private insurance, and even that is already being raised $300 A MONTH because the insurance companies know tons of people are about to drop off their books.

I just gave my legislators an earful about my #HealthInsurance premiums going up $300 A MONTH.
Tell your GOP legislators to vote for the Democrats’ demands to stop health cuts, and tell Democrats to hold the line!

Biden signs gun safety bill into law The president's signing comes just over a month after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killed 19 children and two adults.

Totally agree the fault isn’t all on one side.
But the side most responsible for lax gun laws is the GOP.
