CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

C.I.A. Deputy Director Has Replaced Agency’s Top Legal Official With Himself

This is so Bizarre. I’ve had multiple conversations this week with several people about Ellis. He’s the guy that stashed the perfect phone call transcript in a code word classified system. And took over prepub review of Bolton’s book. Now this. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

What “fascism” means

All headlines just from today 🇺🇸

It's very hard for me to tell right now how "real" the boycott of Disney+ is in terms of impact. I've seen people claiming Disney's site was down at the same time I could pretty easily access it. But I'm hopeful that it might pick up enough steam and a strong enough narrative to matter.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

💯

watching this trump news conference and it is just a nonstop stream of absolute nonsense and actual lies although, it is not clear whatsoever whether or not trump can distinguish between the truth and his own fantasies

In LA for business and had to pop over to H’wood Blvd and support Jimmy for a bit.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

This is extortion live on TV

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.

And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

Our silence isn’t empty it’s filled with the truth everyone already sees. Their comments and reactions have already revealed everything, two very different responses in different moments. We’ve read, we’ve seen, and we know you see the truth too.

Parliament burning

Protestors in Nepal overthrew the government in less than 48 hours due to corruption. They refused a curfew, spread protests across all cities, fought police in roaming street battles, burnt down politicians' houses, stole military weapons, stormed the parliament & burnt it, forced the PM to resign.

In America, the people decide what comes next.

LFG! Oct 18: #NoKings

Rep. Andy Ogles, Protesters Clash at Town Hall Event - Nashville Banner Rep. Andy Ogles faces off with protesters at a rare town hall event, where he defended President Donald Trump's agenda and criticized Nashville's mayor.

Ogles is an ass. He's stupid, offensive, a liar and crook - just like his orange lord. Great article. He literally got in the face of the ladies protesting, calling them liars. He went off on a diatribe blaming transgenders not the proliferation of guns for murders of school children.

This guy "big brows" kept violently shoving a woman around. If he looks familiar, he's been seen spotted at previous ICE operations in Chicago in recent months. He's a local.

We are now confronted with an occupant of the White House determined to wage war against us, we, the people. This cannot stand.

Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler committed suicide after they figured out their 1000-year Reich wasn’t going to last. Goring killed himself just before he was to be hanged after being convicted of crimes against humanity and other crimes at Nuremberg.

Fascist regimes falsely think they’ll rule forever.

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

The Onion has made maybe the funniest thing we've ever done and I can't talk about it yet and it is killing me.
