The shutdown isn’t about budgets. It’s about covering up the Epstein files.

Families are going hungry. Flights are grounded.
All to protect billionaires tied to Epstein.

Keep the pressure on.

That includes me - mv own familv relied on food assistance after my dad died at a young age, leaving my mom to suddenly have to support two kids on her own as a bus driver and house cleaner. Now we have the opportunitv to extend our hand and help others have a chance too. To me that's what it means to be an American. - Rep. Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez

After quitting the White House gig, Elon Musk cements his far-right status by bankrolling Tommy Robinson's legal fights and fueling anti-immigration fury on X, tanking Tesla sales along the way. #ElonMusk

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

In case you’re wondering how bad things are, we are getting calls from food pantries on military bases asking if we have any food we can share because they’re hungry.

KUDOS to AJ Owen who went viral, sharing a video of a small food pantry on his front lawn to fight food insecurity amid SNAP benefits cuts. He received anonymous donations and it had quite the ripple effect.

The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Hey! Former Starbucks worker here (still have scars from 2nd degree burns), please don't cross this picket line. Starbucks is a chronic union-buster. There are so many wonderful local coffee shops to support instead. Make your support for Union Starbucks stores known until *& then after* a strike! 🖤

First Colbert. Then Kimmel. Now he's threatening to go after Seth Meyers? Donald Trump can't take a joke. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-humorless-president

I keep seeing journalism described as an "ecosystem" and I guess that tracks because it's undergoing an extinction crisis caused by billionaires, too.

Your friendly reminder that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for a POTUS to dictate pricing of any private entity. But since when has this prick ever followed the constitution.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This pretty much sums up our government under this administration.

“Government of the people, by the people and for the people.” (Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address to define Democracy)

The Black People Who Fled Slavery Had a Lot to Teach Their Northern Allies Black-led vigilance committees not only protected and aided fugitives but also learned from the formerly enslaved as they built a movement pedagogy together.

"The fugitives’ underground is hardly treated as a space of learning, ideas, & imagination… Vigilance cmtes opened up spaces where fugitives & other abolitionists could exchange ideas that the most absolute dreams of the abolitionist mvmt could be made thinkable." hammerandhope.org/article/unde...

“.. the Times editorial board has compiled a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion .. The sobering reality is that the United States has regressed, to different degrees, on all 12.”
