I've never seen and felt as much love for America as we're seeing across the country today.

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

I wish that I was physically able to attend.

I would kill for a physical assistant to accompany me.

By this time next year I would have no issues attending or any need for assistance (albeit I would have a full face mask for protection- I have severe post-covid asthma & CS or CN could be fatal!).

Chicago - no kings

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Where the U.S. Is Building Up Military Force in the Caribbean

The U.S. military mobilization in the Caribbean:
• 8 Navy warships
• 10 stealth fighters
• About 10,000 troops
• New ammunition storage sites in Puerto Rico

The goal, officials say privately, is to oust Maduro from power.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th largest on earth, ahead of Poland, Canada, Iran.

The funding increase kicked in Oct 1, as federal agents unleash violence on the Chicago area, raiding communities and brutalizing protesters.

Judges don’t trust DOJ anymore

Judges are refusing to accept Justice Department attorneys’ explanations at face value and even telling them outright that the executive branch has forfeited its claim to presumed honesty.

#NoKings Miami!

So Letitia James is a “criminal” but George Santos is just a “rebel” who was mistreated?

Someone tried to 86’ themselves at work and now I gotta listen to the ppl who make a hundred Kay a year be confused as to why anyone would want to do that.

😐

There will be no humans elsewhere. Only here. Only on this small planet. We are a rare as well as an endangered species. Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.

Murphy: You guys can handle the truth, right ? You guys deserve the truth, right ? The truth is that Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

I’m such a country rube for saying this but it’s so great to just hop on a bus and be taken to the place you want to go.

A rally poster with Zohran, Bernie and AOC with the title NEW YORK IS NOT FOR SALE. Text reads: Get Out The Vote Rally, Sunday October 26, Forest Hills Stadium Queens NY.

New York is not for sale.

Map of car insurance prices with Florida & Louisiana close to $3,000 a year and southern and southwestern states more expensive.

Auto insurance in Florida is more than double Minnesota - averaging $2,912 a year vs $1,310. Maybe not a huge surprise but the high cost of low-tax states …

I don’t remember him promising to double our healthcare premiums on the campaign trail.
