BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Bark Hamill!

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

Gov. Andy Beshear

Democratic women have made history tonight:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

November is Transgender Awareness Month, and this November we want to remind transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming Washingtonians that this state is here for you.

Spot On...

Reframe your mind. Grow your empathy.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I wrote a blog post about this because when my husband was sick (cancer for 6 years before his passing) I often didn’t know what I needed or didn’t have the emotional energy to tell someone what they could do for me. I loved concrete offers.

Hey Mike Johnson, put away your feigned naïveté. We see through your mask. Trump is making war plans – and war is blatantly unconstitutional without a declaration of war from both houses of Congress. Reconvene the House of Representatives. Now.

Taking food from the hungry and healthcare from the sick are deliberate and sadistic acts of inflicting pain, suffering and shortening lives – en masse.

And sadism never exists in isolation, it's always accompanied by psychopathy-sociopathy (ASPD).

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

Q: Is there any American who Trump would not sell out in an nanosecond for a high-rise hotel in Riyadh?

A: No.

So why should he remain in office?
Impeach. Remove. Convict.

A 13 year old and ICE Weeks ago I wrote about 13 and 17 year old sisters who went missing in the world after ICE abducted their mother from a Worcester, Massachusetts street, leaving them parentless and in state care.

It’s worth noting that if a parent took a minor child across state lines without the permission of the other parent, that would be considered kidnapping. But I guess that’s okay when it’s the federal government.

A 13 year old abducted by ICE. What are we doing? open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

Michael McLean (@cornoisseur) on Threads I’m out strolling along Milwaukee Avenue, and a couple middle schoolers just handed me a whistle + information about how to resist ICE in Chicago.

WOW, how cool is this?

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

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.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.
