On this Veterans Day, more than any before, let us remember the valiant service of Black, Hispanic, Navajo, Japanese and other non-white Americans who fought bravely for the ideals of a country that failed to live up to them, and whose legacy a racist GOP is desperately trying to erase.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Dems need to start talking more about how Trump’s dementia means that he can’t distinguish his fantasies from reality. He has completely lost touch with the real world and only knows what his sycophantic courtiers are telling him.

"Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

I have never seen an American President so desperate to force children and seniors to go hungry.

Donald Trump is appealing a federal court's order requiring him to pay the full SNAP benefits for this month.

This is as ugly and cruel as it gets.

Stephen King: hey guys guess what?
King: the blue wave is back!🌊🌊🌊
King: it's curtains for DRUMP!
King: end of the line for mango mussolini!
King: no more orange julius caesar!
King: i haven't been so excited since we finally defeated bu$hitler back in '09!

I’ve been writing bangers lately.

This one is about racism, food insecurity, “welfare queens,” and fuck Ronald Reagan.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.

This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.

As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

It's the exact same ideology embraced by the elite enslavers before the Civil War: some people are better than others, and have the right-- and maybe the duty-- to rule. It was the Mudsill Theory then, and it's the Mudsill Theory today, dress it up in whatever elegant language you may.

President Trump told 60 Minutes he didn’t know who the crypto CEO was — the one whom he just pardoned. Here’s who he is:

Government shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown

You will freeze, you will starve, and they will have lavish parties in Trump’s ballroom. Trump despises you. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/government-shutdown-threatens-delay-home-heating-aid-millions-127104760

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

So Trump says he knows nothing about the pardon he issued for a billionaire who just so happened to make his family a fortune in crypto.

This clip is going viral for a reason.

Don’t underestimate a struggling American public’s slowly building intolerance for this kind of blatant corruption.

I wonder if the South American fishermen he's routinely killing would count as "innocent Christians" too, or nah?

Federal judge orders Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits out of contingency fund The ruling came one day before funding for SNAP, more commonly known as food stamps, was set to lapse.

The courts had to step in and tell Donald Trump to feed the people. Let that sink in.

He was perfectly fine letting millions of Americans go hungry—in the middle of a shutdown that Republicans created.

Do what the judge said, Donald. Release the funds and stop playing with folks’ livelihoods.

THREE WAYS TO TAKE ACTION NOW

1. Donate to your local food bank.

2. Collect and distribute to your local community shelter. Check with your local organizations first to see what they need most.

3. Host a give-back drive in your community. Visit NoKings.org/alliance to learn more.

#SNAP

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Let the campaigning begin.

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50

He did.

Dear Leader is refusing to help hungry families buy food... and somehow that’s OUR fault because we were greedy enough to want to help Americans afford health care.

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.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

1/? I want to explain why I keep telling Black people to stay off of social media and not do interviews about lost SNAP benefits. Let the white folks do the complaining. I was coming of age when Reagan was going after the "Welfare Queen". She was the single Black mother. They even had a poster woman

Even if the Republican controlled federal government had allowed the $6 billion contingency reserve to be used to fund SNAP benefits it wouldn’t have been enough to completely fund SNAP

Let that sink in, The Trump administration made a conscious choice to starve millions of Americans.
