Frogs for Freedom

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

Why is Pete Hegseth so obsessed with keeping everything he is doing hidden from the American public except for his workout and cosplay videos?

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

I’ll be glad when we run this regime out of power and we do something about those ICE assholes.

They should be tried for their crimes against humanity.

We also saw the video of Debbie Brockman TV producer for WGN Chicago being thrown to the ground handcuffed and thrown in a van. Is she telling us not to believe our own eyes now?

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.

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago:

“Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

But when the arrests and prosecutions start, we WILL remember who collaborated with this fascist regime.
Yes, talking about you, ABC, NBC CBS, FOX, etc...

What are you planning to do?

JD Vance knowingly/unknowingly? insults Kristi Noem.

Thanks to government food assistance, JD Vance had food to eat as a kid.

Now he's an elitist MAGA prick who wants to strip food assistance from kids like him.

Pete Buttigieg speaks 8 languages. JD Vance speaks 1 language. Who would you rather have as a neighbor?

He's talking down to us.

Vance is trying to normalize his vicious racism.

This is JD Vance with his family at Thanksgiving.

But the Queen has to have her ballroom.

They are trying so hard to convince you that the party in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress isn’t to blame for what’s coming.

Who wrote this shit? They have never only targeted the worst of the worst or serious criminals. I don't know about you, but in my neighborhood they've been kidnapping anyone who speaks Spanish.

Ahem

So that Mellon guy who gives away cash from his inheritance doesn’t have any left for SNAP?

Fuck you ICE. You're not welcome in the Bay Area.

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

#TaxTheRich #FairShare #FDR

The people's house is now the billionaires' house.

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives.

I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad.

They didn’t misrepresent anything.

Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.
