Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.

Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.

Deals with this regime are meaningless.

I am eight times thrust through the doublet

He’s mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

So Cute 🥰😍😍

So Cute 🥰😍😍

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings."

They did their part.

The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday.

They did their part.

8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night.

They did not do their part.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.

Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.

Thus do all traitors

I’ll keep saying this until people get it.

The only thing Senate Democrats should be agreeing to is an extension of the enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for millions of Americans buying plans on the health exchanges and releasing the Trump-Epstein files.

How long will we be hijacked by centrists, cowards and Chuck Schumer?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

You can always count on Bernie for the truth.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

This Thanksgiving, the menu features starvation for everyday Americans, courtesy of a bumbling, senile wannabe dictator bungling the nation's breadbasket. #FoodInsecurity

ICE is really doing great, ya know?
Look at their vehicles with full tanks of fuel while most motor pools are rationing what's left.
Look at those ICE planes soaring away while reg travel is cut more & more.
Look at those chubby meal team members yanking up kids while SNAP is stolen away.
Yay ICE 🎉

Donald Trump was sleeping on the job again yesterday in the Oval Office.

Peak vigor. 🙄

What a disgrace.

The entire scene looks like Norman Rockwell painted The Death of Empathy, directed by Jeffrey Dahmer and executive produced by Satan. Hang this next to The Scream and the painting would lean over and whisper, Is that guy okay.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.

He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.

They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

Imagine asking the U.S. Supreme Court for permission to be more of a dick.

This is insane. Trump is jumping through hoops to block SNAP. Follow the law, fund SNAP, and feed American families.

The rich are richer. The rest of us are barely making ends meet. Trump denies any of it. Time to toss them all out.

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

The regime in the White House is making devastating cuts to the social safety to finance tax cuts for the super rich.

And the richest man in the world, who used his wealth to get this regime elected, is on track to be paid $274 million every day for the next 10 years.

Oligarchy.

Louder for the clueless in the back!
