the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

make them answer for why they care more about checking a child’s underwear than whether you can afford your electric bill!

So, “humanitarian intervention” in Nigeria?

Also, I hear somebody keeps killing Christians on boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific. Might want to look into that.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

amazing how the Silicon Valley sales pitch suddenly became “we’re bringing about a bright future where everyone but the ultra-rich will be forced to return to the fields”

and they genuinely don’t seem to believe this could eventually end poorly for them

We live in the most evil country in the world.

This is insane shit. Cops hate the people of Los Angeles and look for any excuse to injure people.

It's illegal to feel joy in America

When I say I don't want to have kids but I still want to be involved in their lives, this is what I mean

Our federal government is attacking the states its GOP leaders do not like. Because of the politics they do not like.

Any other framing by the media is feckless, quisling dishonesty.

Two parents at my kid’s parade today were wearing a 6 and 7 and it was just a 20 min long line of kids screaming “six-seven!!!” at them

I do not understand the youths

The Washington Post with a story about how remaking an institution to appeal to the pro-Trump right doesn't help the bottom line.

Here Trump takes his entire theory of governance to its logical conclusion by demanding Democrats improve the parts of government he keeps trying to destroy

How Chicagoans Are Helping Kids Have A Safe — And ICE-Free — Halloween This Year Neighbors are organizing indoor trick-or-treat events, candy drives and candy dropoffs to protect vulnerable families. Two Logan Square blocks that attract thousands of trick-or-treaters may shut down...

children no longer being safe trick-or-treating on american streets because of the president is where we're at

just for musk, thiel, and sachs alone, no group of immigrants has done more damage to our institutions and cultural heritage than white south africans. a devilish people

No one should have to put up with this shit but in particular kids should not have to put up with this shit

This and the Chicago indictments make it abundantly clear that the rule of law is dead at DOJ. The agency has been fully weaponized to smite Trump’s enemies and shield his friends.

I should be as clear as I can: there is no future worth fighting for that accepts as a compromise building detainment camps for undesireables, and it is incumbent on anyone looking to a future worth having that that we find ways to take care of each other without building Alligator Omelas.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218.

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

The distillation of this is that your government is lying to you and plans to keep doing so.

Any pardon made by a president elected by a criminal conspiracy is invalid. Hell, any nomination or appointment. Justice Kavanaugh? Fuck you, autopen. Those Supreme Court rulings—you guessed it, written by autopen. Congrats, Erika Kirk, you are the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Autopen.

oh my god, The Tweet is exactly ten years old tonight

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

'A slap in the face': Ranchers feel betrayed by Trump's plan to buy Argentine beef Over the past few days, cattle ranchers and agricultural groups have been sounding the alarm that a plan to import more foreign beef would hurt struggling ranchers.

Many of the people who have been screaming for decades about planned economies and government-chosen winners and losers (rightly, I think!) are fine with an economy run by one self-obsessed, deeply ignorant man, who picks winners and losers based on his own whims, obsessions, and grift.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.

NOAA flight 42 flying south of Jamaica through the heart of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa. From a screen cap from flightradar24.com at about 7:40pm EDT on Oct 26th

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid.

I wish them safe flying and a safe return

letting SNAP expire right before thanksgiving and right as health care premiums skyrocket, on paper, seems like the kind of thing destined to be the downfall of a regime, setting aside that it’s gonna be a very thin christmas for a lot of people because of tariffs

Badger TD, shocking as it was
