He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Republican cuts have the capacity to dismantle and destabilize our currently understaffed and struggling healthcare system.

Hospitals and clinics will close or cut essential services, forcing patients to travel further and wait longer for care. - Heather Brauth, RN

This is not about saving democracy. It is about protecting our people. On October 18, we rise. Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other. Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful.

No Thrones. #NoKings

Oh gods. Fingers crossed

The case before the Supreme Court is called Louisiana v. Callais, a redistricting dispute that has become a major test of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the landmark civil rights law designed to protect Black Americans and other minorities from being shut out of political representation.

People will get sicker, and it is not a stretch to say some will die.

But instead of working with Democrats to lower healthcare costs, Republicans shut down the government and took a vacation. - Heather Brauth, RN

So many people of color who ever attended a majority white college or university or high school could tell you tales about their racist peers or instructors.

It is something we are/have been expected to endure.

Huge thanks to everyone who showed up outside the Supreme Court today to stand up for voting rights!

Crime is down in San Francisco thanks to California Highway Patrol's ongoing efforts with local partners to seize illicit drugs and remove firearms from our streets.

With strong state investments and community partnerships, our work to make our neighborhoods safer and more secure is paying off.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

We love you, Mayor-to-be-Mamdani!

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Tweet by Robert Reich (@RBReich): “Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the ‘worst of the worst.’ But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.” Below is an image of a police officer on a bicycle overseeing a protest scene at night.

Abolish ICE.

Errrr.....except when you were killing them.

Employees in the EPA’s Resource Conservation and Sustainability Division received an internal email notifying them that the agency plans to carry out a workforce reduction. The division oversees programs that assist states with recycling and composting initiatives.

Come work for the Blue Wave!! We want you! @governor.ca.gov

If I were a Mainer, and I'm not a Mainer, and the Senate election were today, I'd vote for Graham Platner to take on Susan Collins. Simply put, I can't think of a metric by which Janet Mills would be better against Collins, better for Maine, or better for the Democratic Party than Platner. THREAD.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Leticia James. Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

We are destroying our only planet so a few hundred people can amass more wealth than they could ever spend in a hundred lifetimes.

It’s not just breaking our ecology, because their distorting mega wealth is also breaking our political systems, bending and binding us all to their will.

and it's all because of their disgusting addiction to money.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads: “The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

YAY ❤️! We Need More Latina
Women in Our Government, Congrats Helena Moreno.......

Well, he and his dear old daddy used to attend KKK "rituals" together, so yeah, def tracks.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

WTF?????? 😡 They haven''t crossed the line yet? I guess LAW and CONSTITUTION are no longer a line - and Johnson just said it out loud.
