🧵🧵 This thread highlights some of media people and organizations energetically covering the Trump regime’s campaign to terrorize Chicagoans. These folks are well worth a Bluesky follow.
Of special note is Unraveled, the kind of independent journalism we need when some legacy outlets are in retreat.

Trump wants a participation trophy for “almost” coming up with a health care plan.

Trump says he doesn’t know who Changpeng Zhao is even though he’s one of Trump’s most controversial pardon recipients. More proof of what I wrote last week — that Trump Is mentally unfit to be president.

Jeffrey Epstein cultivated celebrity relationships for years. Many continued until his 2019 arrest for sex trafficking, documents show.

The Trump administration is filled with very sick people.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The cruelty is the point.

HHS/FDA/CDC is such a degenerate madhouse it's hard to untangle whos getting canned or resigning because it got so bad they acted on principle versus whos getting canned because of some sweetheart deal (beak wetting when only mr big gets to do that).

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.🗳️⚖️💪

Don’t torture yourself by watching mainstream media. They’re owned by the oligarchy who props up tRump.

It will leave you feeling disappointed, frustrated and like you’re taking crazy pills.

Be grateful independent journalists are still reporting the truth. Share that, not the propaganda garbage.

We’ve built something extraordinary together. But we can’t stop now.

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

Harrison Ford isn’t holding back on Trump. He accused him of acting on whims rather than any policies. “He’s losing ground because everything he says is a lie. He spent 4 years turning us against each other while embracing dictators and tyrants around the world.”

Pardoned and well paid
To play dressup and get violent

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

We’ve reached the opposite pole of the post-Covid scramble for workers.

Zohran Mamdani's proposals for NYC build off city's progressive foundation: Experts While some critics decry Zohran Mamdani's vision for New York City as far-fetched, experts noted that they build off progressive foundations laid by past policies.

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

Ugly. No wonder she married Stephen Miller.

And the non-reaction from @jaketapper.bsky.social is almost more appalling than her racism.

@cnn.com is clearly in a dark place.

Ioffe: I don't think that what's being done to the white house, you don't do that, if you think that anybody else is going to inhabit this thing after you and if you are planning on leaving power.

I know there's a lot going on, but it's crazy that Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who won her election on Sept. 23.

He could have done this at any time, even amid the government shutdown. But he won't.

Unprecedented.
