On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

This is fucking amazing

UN human rights chief: US military strikes on alleged drug boats 'unacceptable' The U.N. human rights chief says U.S. military strikes on vessels allegedly carrying illegal drugs from South America are unacceptable and must stop.

The UN human rights chief says US military strikes against vessels allegedly carrying illegal drugs from South America are “unacceptable” and must stop. The condemnation marks the first of its kind from a United Nations organization.

Looks like their algorithm didn't account for a few scenarios...

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.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Families could start losing access to Head Start if shutdown continues If the government shutdown extends beyond Nov. 1, more than 65,000 children could be at risk of losing access to Head Start, the federal early-learning program for low-income families.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

US citizen, 67, ‘has six ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents, his running club says The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

This is a sad but correct decision. Thank you, @python.org, for committing to your values when it matters.

I would love a list of organization that have made this kind of value-driven decision to donate to.

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

Hegseth doesn’t dispute National Guard ‘crowd control’ plans ahead of midterms Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth didn’t deny reported plans to have National Guard ‘response force’ in every state ahead of the 2026 midterms. During a conference on Thursday (23 October), a reporter ...

Big heads up, everyone.

Trump is putting together a National Guard Response Force, trained in crowd control and civil unrest.

To be deployed in all 50 states by April 2026.

They are not planning to leave office.

They are preparing to lock the country down.

If only we had a way to verify this claim.

On onlooker video of Bovino that day, he appears not to wear a body cam, even though he was engaged in police action. No agent around him appears to have a switched-on body cam either. (TRO violations.)

To substantiate his claim, DHS should produce video.

Thank you, Chicago.

An Obamacare Hot Spot Where Price Spikes Pose an Outsized Threat

“As many as a third of the 4.7 million Floridians on ACA plans could drop them next year because of the higher costs… Florida is full of low-wage service and gig workers who cannot get insurance through their jobs, self-employed people and early retirees who are not yet eligible for Medicare.”

it's hard to Nazi what's going on here

Secondly. The President is to be commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. In this respect his authority would be nominally the same with that of the king of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces, as first General and admiral of the Confederacy; while that of the British king extends to the DECLARING of war and to the RAISING and REGULATING of fleets and armies, all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.

It’s also worth reading the Federalist Papers; key architects of the Constitution wrote them to convince States to adopt their new design. They explain how it’s meant to work: the legislature MUST control military funding to prevent POTUS from becoming a KING. avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century...

Please watch. Please share.

Trump's masked thugs attacked a blind protestor in South Portland last weekend and dragged him away like an animal.

The man is 4'6" and legally blind.

A US citizen.

"They picked the weakest person they could find," he told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

This is the worst, most heartbreaking, thing I have seen from the trump Regime. Monstrous.

This feels like the week America died.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
