The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

When they say Trump calling a reporter "piggy" is "just being honest," they are revealing a key feature of the reactionary mind: it believes, at a deep brainstem level, that *everyone* is awful & selfish & ugly on the inside. Everyone just suppresses it out of fear of social disapproval. Not Trump!

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦

The move here for democrats is to make this the campaign ad for every single election but then also actually make it come true

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

For the record: I'm not tired of winning.

Has any sitting president weighed in on a mayor's race before? It seems unfitting. Starting to wonder if Donald Trump is really presidential material.

Yes on 50. Let's go, California!

My painting of a woman in a rust-colored coat, gloves, and a green straw hat with flowers. She's next to a stone grotesque, and they are overlooking Paris from Notre Dame Cathedral. There is the barest indication of toher buildlings below.

A kid carrying giant light-up 67 trick-or-treating at our house tonight. I said "Oh my god, six seven" and he happily posed for me.

Anybody else get a trick-or-treater in a 67 costume tonight?

I don't know, maybe it's just the Halloween of it all right now, but does anyone else see the similarity? #Taskmaster

It's Halloween

I know I've said this before, and I'm not sure what good it does my saying it—because who cares what I think?—but with the void thus identified, I'm going to shout into it: people who do not believe in government should not be in government. Ever.

The face in the Magic Mirror from Snow White (1937).

I see your Mask and I raise you the Magic Mirror.

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

Would love to do that but we get too many trick-or-treaters. We'd have to take out a loan. This is the traffic we got last year.

Yes. It's gross.

GOV. WALZ: “This is not both sides. This is owned by Republicans. Dems are willing to come back and protect what passed, not let an authoritarian president do whatever he wants… people will be lined up to get food and we’re talking about a damn ballroom? DON’T LOSE THE PLOT.”
