By request. Let’s start a #furloughlife photo thread. Post photos of what you are doing on furlough. Went hiking? Show us. Went to a concert? Show us. Cleaned out garage? Show us that too!

If you aren’t a fed employee, why not offer up some #FedEncouragement or #FedGratitude here.

They're cowards. Every last one of them.

But you

YOU

have to hold the line.

You STAND with strangers who are fighting with you.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.

An early article reported that the building owner sent a crew to clean out the apartments soon after. How did ICE target this building?

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as β€œinsurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

This is the guy Glenn Greenwald and Patrick Bet-David have been trying to rehabilitate and portray as not too bad and misunderstood.

The GOP’s β€œclean” continuing resolution is pretty dirty.

Because it goes to Nov 21.

But ACA open enrollment starts November 1. THREE WEEKS BEFORE.

So premiums would be locked in.

And by signing on, Dems would be giving up their main argument before negotiations even start.

That’s not β€œclean”.

OR GOP posts low-effort fake photo, badly merging old scenes from S America (!) claiming it's current Portland protests, and when called on it says "we're not reporters" and leaves the fake up
