It is time for new leadership! Time to move on from status quo and authoritarian boot licking politicians and advocate for someone who stands by their constituents and the American people!
#MoveOn #StepDownSchumer #DemsNeedChange

What an absolute boot licker! This is the #democratic party, cowards, spineless, plebes. They didn't get a win, as we all can see very clearly. They lost the only hand they had and that was showing #Americans who the #republicans really are and ousting #trump and his #authoritarian take over.

Watching the #democrats and their party falter to stand united as moderate Dems make a terrible deal with #republicans is infuriating. However, watching the Vote Blue No Matter Who people now complaining about the blue they voted for and demanding change. #VBNMW you got what you wanted, status quo

This is the thing that drives me insane. Things aren't normal; this isn't politics as usual. And when you accurately describe everything this administration is doing, it's so lawless, radical, and authoritarian that *you* sound like a partisan extremist.

CALL NOW: Tell Your Democratic Senator It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

If I’m on a bike and I’m stuck in car traffic because there is no dedicated bike lane, yes, I am stuck in traffic

It often baffles me that these corporations are so blinded by their current business, they actually can't see an opportunity to increase their revenue by filling a demand in the market by supplying another mode of transportation. Just seems like lazy business practices

The Oregon Department of Justice, seeking to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, submitted as evidence in this week’s federal trial multiple videos of federal officers using force against nonviolent protesters.

This doesn't surprise me at all, #TilikumBridge is my favorite bridge in #PDX 😍❤️😍

Well, looks like the rich guys are gonna be exposed to toxic chemicals in their golf course, that's a real shame 😒.
It's truly sad it also will harm the ecosystem forced to be around that golf course 🥺

Another demonstration of #Trump's regime committing #war #crimes against #LatinAmericans because he thinks he can and absolutely no other country is doing anything about it? Start placing sanctions on the US, we can't be allowed to act as the #authoritarian of the Americas!

Facing public and board pressure, TriMet walks back 82nd Ave bus lane decision "We are switching paths," says one high level TriMet staffer.

We've seen the #boycott work over the last few years, let's really show the big #corporations that we support local businesses and won't give out money to the #billionaires.

President Trump's radical attack on radiation safety If President Trump's executive order results in a new public radiation exposure limit of around 10 rem—that opponents to the linear no-threshold (LNT) model for radiation exposure often advocate…

If President Trump's executive order results in a new public radiation exposure limit of around 10 rem, "the increased health risks would be extraordinary [...] A 10-rem limit would increase allowed exposures to radiation by factors of 100 to 1000—and so would increase the risk of cancer." ⬇️

No ICE or National Guard in Portland! Join us Saturday.

I'm not sure her tongue reached his colon, she must go deeper 😒😒

Regardless of factuality, the message in the form of propaganda was still sent and received as fact by the intended people

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

In politics, messaging is pivotal to success, otherwise Trump wouldn't have the support he does

Why is DOT always asking for community feedback when they are just about to implement the fricken infrastructure. Stop delaying projects that have already been studied and planned with NIMBY input 😣

This is why I love #Portland!! ❤️❤️❤️

Nicole Jenes is able to get aide through the border for #Gaza again given the #ceasefire is in place. If you have the means to support her efforts, please consider donating. Also follow her on TikTok to follow her work and satire ❤️🇵🇸❤️

With rising #energy costs, having this regime cancel a project that would have provided #Nevada with a #sustainable, reliable, and cheaper source of electricity is insane! But this regime is all about fucking the #environment to keep $$ in the oil barons pockets

What Liberals Get Wrong About Trump’s Executive Order on Antifa Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

“The truth is that antifa groups have been responsible for some of the most prescient & impactful organizing countering the far-right during the last decade”

Amazing corrective to liberal punditry abt antifa from Matthew Whitley (& basically the thesis of my book) theintercept.com/2025/09/27/t...

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.
