My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

A small plush wizard doll (Merlin) wearing a purple robe and tall hat decorated with yellow felt stars and a crescent moon stands beside a glowing black cauldron with pink light shining through star-shaped cutouts. The wizard holds a wooden wand or stick over the cauldron as if stirring. In the foreground are two orange pumpkins—one smooth and one bumpy—and a black bat figurine resting nearby, all set against a warmly lit indoor background.

Merlin brewing up a little Autumn enchantment. Happy Halloween Eve!

From Threads: brooke.talks.politics: Democrats in the senate just tried to pass a stand alone bill to fund WIC and SNAP. Republicans BLOCKED it. lizdennery: Trump is the first President in U.S. history to deny food to his citizens. There is a $5 billion contingency fund set aside for this exact situation during a shutdown. BUT HE REFUSES TO USE IT. Let that sink in. monica_artang: Drag Biden if it helps you sleep. But he didn't get sued by 25 STATES for refusing to feed his own people. Trump did. Over SNAP. Over hunger. Over cruelty. That's not leadership. That's litigation. If feeding kids triggers lawsuits, the system isn't broken — it's bankrupt.

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

Democracy requires decency.

Our democracy is devolving because we neglected to demand common decency of the most powerful individual in our country; the President.

During the government shutdown, President Trump:
 
- Raised $250 million from billionaires for a ballroom
- Gave Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho
- Doubled Argentina's bailout to $40 billion
 
What happened to America First?

Peaceful No Kings protest in Pacifica, CA on Oct. 18. A variety of people came to protest the authoritarian policies of Donald Trump and corruption in his “administration.”

It rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe with leaders such as Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany.View all 1,905 comments

I am ANTIFA Meaning I am against fascism, as most Americans are. We literally fought a world war over this.

anxious_opposition: Hey. So, you don't get a Nobel Peace Prize when you deploy the military against your own citizens. Hope this helps.

Portland protesters had a dance party in front of the ICE facility where Kristi Noem was last night 😁

Trump: “I don’t know what could be worse than Portland. They don’t even have stores anymore”.

Portland: Busts out the inflatable frog, raccoon, bear and unicorn for a late night dance party.

This isn’t a city of dangerous criminals.

It’s a city of artists. Of writers. Of weirdos. Of resisters.

False claims vs. real consequences over govt. shutdown Republicans claim Democrats want free health care for undocumented immigrants. That's false. Federal Law prohibits it. If Congress doesn't act, ACA tax credits will expire - raising premiums or loss of coverage for millions.

fluent.in.finance: The Government is shutdown for two reasons: 1. To raise your healthcare costs 2. To delay releasing the Epstein files That's it.

Anita Hart stands in an art gallery beside a white column displaying three of her photographic prints. The top two images show colorful reflections of boats on rippling water, and the bottom image features a surfer carrying a board along the shore under a blue sky. Behind her, framed artworks and photographs line the walls, and a bright bouquet of sunflowers, red roses, and green blooms rests on a pedestal nearby.

Alice and I stopped by Coastal Arts League to see all of the interesting reflection photos. Pic of me by my photos by Alice. Show runs until November 10. Main St. gallery open daily from 11am - 5pm. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Two tabby cats on a beige carpeted cat tree: one cat lounges inside the cubby, peeking its head out of the opening, while the other climbs upward with only its back half and tail visible. To the right, part of a TV screen reflects blue string lights, and a vintage trunk with brass hardware sits nearby.

New feature unlocked: split-level cat.

If you don't like a late night host, don't watch him. If you don't want an abortion, don't get one. If you don't want a Covid booster, don't get one. Freedom means everyone gets to make choices for themselves - even if they are ones you may not pick. It doesn't mean taking away that choice so you don't get your feelings hurt. @jodipicoult

I’m pleased to announce that I have 3 photos in the Coastal Arts League Juried Photography Show - Reflections. It runs October 2 - November 10.

Hate speech is now just speech that Trump hates.

Thou shalt not call yourself a “free speech warrior” and then spend all your time getting people fired for using free speech.

Fascists Fear Mockery Most. Trump Proved It. ABC caved after Trump’s FCC threatened them and Nexstar chased a $6.2 billion merger. This is not just cancel culture. It is blatant corruption.

“Right-wing voices incite violence every day and keep their microphones. Kimmel simply stated his opinion on the chaos presently unfolding and yet he is the one who is silenced.”

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

What’s at stake here is free speech.

Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.

We need to all stand up and speak out.

They are literally canceling culture
