"I'm holding my nose and voting for Cuomo." Yeah, and? Nobody is going to award you bonus points for supporting someone you have the discernment to know is awful. Elections are only about results. You vote for him, you own the consequences.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Stopped by a canvass in Bed-Stuy tonight. I’m truly in awe of the determination and joy our volunteers bring to this campaign, every single day.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

How Chicagoans Are Helping Kids Have A Safe — And ICE-Free — Halloween This Year Neighbors are organizing indoor trick-or-treat events, candy drives and candy dropoffs to protect vulnerable families. Two Logan Square blocks that attract thousands of trick-or-treaters may shut down...

Mother of children taken by ICE feels like she is ‘drowning,’ ‘choking’ after arrests A 15-year-old boy and his father were “beaten, handcuffed and forced to sign documents” after being arrested Monday in Durango by federal immigration officers, the boy’s mother told an immigrant servi...

Disgusting.

Everyone knows that there was a “reverse Underground Railroad” too, right? That there were gangs hunting down Black people — some self-emancipated, some born free, didn’t matter — and dragging them to a slave state? That it wasn’t just Solomon Northup, it was tens of thousands of people? Because ⬇️

I’m honored to be endorsed by @votersoftomorrow.org and I’m eager to work with them and other young leaders both on the campaign trail and in Congress!

I am one of these people. How dare the GOP lie about all of this shit. Pure evil.

Justice for every single victim. Nothing less.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Prince Andrew stripped of 'prince' title and will move out of Royal Lodge He will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor - Buckingham Palace says

Virginia Giuffre’s family just put out a statement about how an ordinary American girl who was abused and trafficked finally brought down a prince, and I am in tears.

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered.

This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

Billie Eilish Calls on Billionaires to Support People in Need: 'No Hate, But Give Your Money Away' Billie Eilish donates $11.5 million from 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour to charity and calls on billionaires to support people in need during hard times.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

Goooooooo

Every single time: YOU COULDA HAD @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social PA, BUT NO.

Dems have a bill to fund SNAP and feed families through the shutdown. Yesterday, Senate R’s blocked it.

It’s needless and cruel to use hungry children as bargaining chips. Previous shutdowns did not cut SNAP. Release the funds.

CBS News fired 8 on-air personalities in latest layoffs. All of them are women EXCLUSIVE: Multiple sources told The Independent that senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta was added to the layoff list following a last-minute change by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

"...a male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute."

NJ YOU MUST VOTE. And bring the men who you know and tell them to vote for Sherrill.

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape.

Speaker Johnson would let millions of American children go hungry, all to score political points.

Disgraceful.

Buckingham Palace has announced that it is removing all remaining styles, titles and honours of Prince Andrew:

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

He is also being evicted from his accommodation at Royal Lodge.

Correct action, but it should never have taken this long.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

A thought I never expected to have: House of Windsor currently beating the US government on transparency and accountability.

The Democratic Establishment Is a Dead Man Walking Hakeem Jeffries thinks the path back to power for Democrats is focusing on “kitchen table issues,” waiting for Trump to self-destruct, and avoiding challenging Trump on his increasing constitutional v...

The Democratic establishment is managing decline, not fighting power.'

Their “focus on kitchen-table issues” strategy is donor-safe, poll-tested—and doomed.

You can’t defend democracy while depending on the wealth that captured it.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

The person who oversees healthcare coverage for more than 160 million Americans is lying about healthcare coverage

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, who was indicted today for protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility: "We've been punched, dragged, thrown, shot with pepper balls, tear gassed, rubber bullets from snipers on roofs going into local businesses windows."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
