He shut the government down for a month to hide files establishing the extent of his fraternization with the most infamous serial child rapist of the last century, and now he is threatening to invade Nigeria to protect members of a religion he pretends to practice but has never actually belonged to

If I ever write a hard-boiled noir mystery, this would be the first sentence of the book

United and American Airlines beg Congress to end shutdown ahead of busy holiday season as air traffic controllers work overtime without pay | Fortune “It's putting stress on people. It's not fair to those people. It's also putting stress on the economy,” United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said.

"While more than 700,000 government employees are going without pay during this period, others, including ICE agents, will still receive checks."

Have you seen the banners on government agencies’ websites blaming the government shutdown on a particular political party? That likely violates several laws.

We sent FOIAs to eight agencies seeking key communications and policies regarding these messages.

America… where they will force you to give birth and then blame you if you struggle financially.

Where they will ban abortions but also cut funding for infant formula and SNAP funds that feed kids.

Outside Chicago—

State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.

A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.

Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Trump is trying to withhold SNAP benefits from hungry families, children, seniors, and our vets.

He's weaponizing hunger.

Amazon Tells Driver to Keep Delivering Packages Amid Raging Wildfire Amazon is accused of controlling workers through a surveillance dragnet, while skirting responsibility for their wellbeing.

This is fine -dot- gif

Trump and Republicans are illegally withholding SNAP benefits.

Millions of children could go hungry.

And this guy is shamefully playing golf.

Your worth is not tied to your health.

It’s not tied to your productivity.

Capitalism and ableism teach us that our value is tied up in how much we “produce” for others.

It’s not.

You have value just as you are. We all do.

Rendezvous on the Beach, by Edvard Munch, 1896

“Dozens of scientists are considering leaving the (FDA’s) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, where Prasad serves as director, to escape a work environment that eight agency officials described to STAT as rife with mistrust and paranoia.”

Thinking about some kids and parents staying home tonight for fear of ICE. The ghouls are unquestionably real this year.

Watching Trump celebrate Halloween with opulence on the eve of millions of Americans going hungry is a perfect example of oligarchy and capitalism.

The rich get richer while everyone else suffers.

They celebrate the suffering of the “under class”.

The cruelty is the point.

KRUGMAN: “.. The Trump tariffs were supposed to bring about a revival of U.S. manufacturing. That’s obviously not happening ..”

interior design where you're just randomly pressing buttons for yellow gold, white marble, and crystal chandelier to remind everyone you're very rich

Since it's now the holiday season, I'd like to remind everyone that Scrooge is the villain

The Times should analyze its own complicity.

We should be able to agree that there’s nothing wrong with someone on SNAP treating themselves or their kids once in awhile

The idea that if you’re poor you must never have a “treat” reinforces the notion that poverty is a choice and a failing

It’s neither, and we shouldn’t police anyone’s food

"I have papers. I have my documentation. I am legal. No please no my daughter".

These words are echoes from the Holocaust, pogroms, purges and unlawful state terrors against humanity throughout history.

Never mind Halloween, these are real monsters.

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale

The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.
