In our history we have seen faith leaders standing up to tyranny, often against other faith leaders advocating tyranny. Christian Nationalism is today's Father Charles Coughlin (look it up). On which side of history will you stand? #resist

Mike Johnson is a performer pretending to know nothing about what crazy stuff is going on in Trump’s messed up government.

On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.

This has so many of Gene Sharp's 198 methods of nonviolent resistance in it. I freaking love it! I wish we can give this person an award of some type! Any ideas??? Maybe, a politician who is not performative and will actually work for the people?

What I love about this is that this comment is from the Library of Congress! I have no explanation for my sense of humor.

*USDA website, not Issa!!

The MAGA Regime cares not one whit about violating The Hatch Act. (They also have no qualms about lying outright.) This is what the Issa website looks like right now, for example: #resist

Man dies in crash on Virginia’s I-264 highway while fleeing ICE agents A Honduran man was hit by a pickup truck as he tried to cross the highway after being stopped by ICE agents, DHS and Virginia State Police said.

The MAGA Regime is blowing up boats and killing people in the sea, with no evidence and no legal process, claiming they are drug smugglers. How long will it be before he starts murdering people inside our country like Duterte did in the Philippines? This is complete lawlessness. #resist

The leader of the MAGA Regime wants a house with a giant ballroom, so he gets a ballroom. It doesn’t matter that the house belongs to US, not to him. He takes what he wants from us. #resist

New York Times: "Military Plans to Fire Artillery Over California Freeway on Saturday"

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Speaker Johnson’s refusal to swear in newly-elected Democratic Representative Adelita Grijalva is a dress rehearsal for 2026. If Democrats win, my bet is the Republicans will refuse to swear them in. This is just one of the tactics they will use to retain total control of the government. #resist

McConnell fell down today while walking. Making fun of old people isn't nice. Destroying a country by using your power to stack the Supreme Court with right-wing radicals is not nice, either. He's old; still evil. One does not excuse the other.

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

The regime cut funding and staff for weather prediction. This is the result.

So, I ask you...
How can you take these federal agents seriously when they are dressed for a tactical assault, fully armed and armored, to arrest a singing giraffe? #resist #nokings #oct18

They're arresting the giraffes! They're arresting the frogs!

Live updates: Federal immigration officers in Chicago area required to wear body cameras, judge says ICE officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a federal judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.

Body cameras protect those most vulnerable. Sometimes that’s the person being arrested, sometimes that’s the law enforcement officer.

This is a sound decision. Arrest and hold accountable those committing violent acts— including any officers acting inappropriately.

If the Voting Rights Act Falls The Supreme Court appears ready to hobble the landmark civil-rights law. What does that mean for Black voters, democracy, and control of Congress?

More on the Supreme Court case regarding the Voting Rights Act.

For an in-depth explanation of why the Voting Rights Act is so important, and why dismantling it is changing (and may destroy) our country, listen to this excellent podcast: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...
