The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

November 4, 2025 (Tuesday) So much for obeying a court order, even if begrudgingly and with manufactured delay.

Blowout.

Maybe the GOP should reopen govt now

Rachel Maddow just called California’s Prop 50 passes- a blowout for the Dems everywhere.

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.

They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Follow the money.

Voting centers in blue areas are reportedly seeing higher turnout than presidential election years as Democrats flood the polls to stand up to Trump.

Trump says he's sending the National Guard to crime-ridden "hellholes," but homicide rates across major cities have been falling.

In Portland, murders were down 39%.

In Chicago, they were down 22%.

Trump's deployments are about authoritarian control, not "law and order."

Something to smile about. GOP influencer, Emily Austin, launched ‘Hot Girls For Cuomo.com’, but failed to register the URL. The site now leads to the report about Cuomo’s sexual harassment.ag.ny.gov/sites/defaul...df

Well, if a lunatic tweeted it, then it must be true!

The perfect headline.

Boom

Omg.. c'mon media, when you ask "Why did the president pardon someone who he claims not to know", and they answer, "I haven't seen that." The follow-up is "Well now you know, so what do you have to say"?

This is just ludicrous. "I don't know" is basically "I dont care".

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: The Convicted FElon's approval numbers are as low as they were after the J6 insurrection, only 37% approval. The Majority of Americans disapprove of everything that he is doing. The economy, immigration, tariffs, use of ICE & national guard, healthcare & so on.

'We're not a violent city': Chicago locals take on ICE block-by-block The immigration agents' tear gas grenades clinked and then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.

"Hours after the confrontation in Lakeview, dozens of parents stood guard outside a school in Bucktown after hearing ICE and border patrol were in the area.

Some parents set up an informal checkpoint next to the school to check cars for immigration agents..."

Rabbi Donald J. "I want the Jews and not the Blacks to count my money" Trump has spoken

Trump is now going against his own administration's plan to partially fund SNAP.

He's demanding Democrats end the shutdown and let health insurance costs skyrocket for millions of people, otherwise food assistance won't be released for millions of hungry people ahead of the holidays.

Hello?

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social responds to Trump says he's a "much better looking person" than him: "My focus is on the affordability crisis, and if the president wants to speak about grocery prices or lowering the cost of living, I'm absolutely ready to do so."

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.

I used to defer to institutional memory rather than advocating for term limits, but no more.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.
