Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison ‘luxuries’ In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell’s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a “guest at a Trump hotel.”

"Maxwell has received custom meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area, access to a service puppy, and private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks. Visitors were allowed to bring computers..."

“no one cares that she wants you to eat cake, cake is actually good and its just words and theres real issues to worry about” this is you, this is what you sound like

“they care about the economy”

im sorry but if you think “normies” dont care about the white house being demolished for a half billion dollar golden vanity ballroom as the economy implodes then you just arent as plugged in as you think you are

Ty for this been meaning to try!

Also important to note that organizers from Chicago (and LA) are sharing their experiences, strategies and tactics with other cities.

For example - Columbus, Oh is now working on purchasing thousands of whistles and distributing rapid response info in preparation for bigger actions in the city.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

“I tried to get a Portland frog outfit and they were sold out until November!”

Frogs, axolotls, and at least one giant pink hippo made its way through Manhattan on Saturday, alongside thousands of others, part of the nationwide “No Kings” rallies.

Times Square, NYC. #NoKings

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.
@blockclubchi.bsky.social

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Poll: Platner Best Positioned Maine Dem to Defeat Susan Collins After respondents were shown short biographies for both candidates, Graham Platner leads Sen. Susan Collins by 14 points, while Gov. Janet Mills leads Collins by 8 points.

NEW: Democratic oyster farmer Graham Platner is the candidate best positioned to defeat Susan Collins in Maine's Senate race, according to a poll of likely voters conducted by Zenith Research for More Perfect Union.

Are Democrats About to Blow It in Maine? By backing Janet Mills over a grassroots outsider, party leaders may be repeating the same mistakes from 2024

Dan Pfeiffer
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the hell the Senate Democrats are doing in Maine — the most important Senate race in the country. Their decision to back Janet Mills suggests they have learned no lessons from our loss in 2024.

ME's Senate field includes at least 3 plausible younger Democrats, most notably the viral populist oyster farmer Graham Platner, 41. Janet Mills is 77. Why are top Dems so set on her? So resistant to new blood? @danpfeiffer.bsky.social asks the right questions. www.messageboxnews.com/p/are-democr...

#WarRavagedPortland

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Happy birthday my guy

Oh no.

The NYC OASAS using AI “humans” for their ads and then saying “Every addict is a person” is a choice for sure.

Yes! The ads are really ick!!!

A group of 100 people(adults and little kids) stands in front of the prospect park carousel. There are little kids in costume in the front flanking hila the earth, red stop signs that read stop Trump pipelines, and a giant snail version of Governor Hochul surrounded by flames.
