Seems like we moved to Christmas season insanely fast this year? I was seeing Christmas decorations in stores before Halloween and people have already been putting up Christmas decorations and lights around me.

That Trump got away with his mishandling (theft?) of classified documents is bad enough but that he then uses classified documents as an excuse to go after his opponents is just… no words. We live in the worst timeline.

This is so sad

Chicago, Illinois, 2025: "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van." "They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other." "I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'" abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Remember when he acted like he had nothing to do with Project 2025 before the election and Democrats repeatedly warned everyone, but Trump supporters just accused us of making up lies?

Oh, so NOW we’re talking about Project 2025!

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

This is what happens when you appoint a stooge and actually weaponize the DOJ to go after your political opponents. Every accusation by Republicans against Democrats is actually a confession

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

BREAKING: Trump's head of Social Security says raising the retirement age "will be considered." That's a betrayal of Trump's campaign promise to protect Social Security.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

Dems will be too scared to speak as R’s tighten their grip on fear and use today to justify calling anyone who dissents a domestic terrorist, even when there are no confirmed details of the shooter’s motive. Kirk’s career was built on hate and division. Don’t be afraid to say it.

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies. He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

Really enjoying Dexter: Resurrection so far. Feels more in line with the original seasons 1-4 as far as quality goes and the NYC setting is a nice change and fits the show well.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Tried out the new Punch Pop flavor by poppi and I am addicted😍 It nails the fruit punch flavor, has prebiotics, only has 5g of sugar, and doesn't include any bad stuff like artificial colors or flavors. Also it scores bonus points for the cool art work on the can!

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

No one here wants to work in a factory line bro

Lutnick to Trump: "All those factories that you're bringing in because of your trade policy -- we're gonna train people in tradecraft. Bring back tradecraft to America so that people can work in these factories with great paying jobs ... we're gonna remake the American dream."

of all the things the administration is doing, i am a little mystified by this effort to completely destroy the science, technology and medical research sector in the united states

Exclusive: Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered NIH to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice. scim.ag/4if5Rg1
