Terrifying

There will be those who will once again council empty reconciliation with Republicans, on the grounds that “we need to be better than them.”

But here’s the thing: we ARE better than them. Much better than them. Everyone is far far far better than them. That’s why they all need to go to prison.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This is NOT making Chicago safer. And this must NOT be what America is.👇

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Has Pete seen this! He'll be furious!

Meh.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

No. We are not OK.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

1/ In August 2020, the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, made an extraordinary request to President Trump’s ambassador, Ronald Johnson. A previously undisclosed report tells what happened next, according to a new ProPublica investigation. 🧵 ⬇️

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Ew

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

ABOLISH ICE.

Pass it on.

Do it!!!!

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, it’s clearly great for team morale.

If you’re not into it, I dunno, post cat pics or something and enjoy the downstream benefits of other people being in a good mood

Democrats Must Embrace War Mindset We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.

"The question is not one of policy or strategy. The question is one of character." www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-mu...

So they're committing to increasing prices, kicking more People off of their Healthcare, letting the wealthy loot the country, terrorizing working class communities with Gestapo squads, baling out foreign regimes, destroying farming, alienating allies . . .

The #TrumpShutdown in 36 seconds 👏🏼

Seriously. Fuck these fascists. Join a No Kings protest on October 18 and stand up for our rights and our democracy.

Why couldn't they have listened to the tens of millions of people warning them?

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

Let's be clear: Donald Trump CHOSE this shutdown. He'd rather hold the country hostage than fund healthcare for millions. Every hardworking federal employee without a paycheck knows who to thank.

Big talk, no action. Jeffries is a weak joke. This is his "fight"? Democrats deserve real leaders.
