President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

OK, this talk of stopping supposed election fraud — and saying if the Democrats win, they cheated — may be laughable, but it’s dangerous. And this demonizing of Dems, though classic Trump, is also heightening the divide that is threatening the life of the nation. I pray for impeachment in 2026.

Hey, all those messages of sympathy and righteous anger and support from people outside Minnesota to those of us here? We’re getting them. We’re reading them. And thanks. We’re loud, we’re together, we’re stubborn as hell, and we’re going to win.

There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

As always, we don’t yet know the identity of the shooter or the motivation for the massacre but we *do* know it involved one of the millions of guns that are drowning this country.

I would love for my home state to consider this!

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water. Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state. It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

Endorse.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

“The EU’s highest court has ruled that same-sex marriages must be respected throughout the bloc and rebuked Poland for refusing to recognise a marriage between two of its citizens that took place in Germany.” Some welcome news today. 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

I’m so glad Charlotte residents are fighting back. ICE, and Trump, must be stopped.

Guardian US@us.theguardian.com

Many communities in Charlotte, North Carolina, were reeling after federal Customs and Border Protection teams descended on the city at the weekend and arrested at least 81 people.

My new phrase to say to Trump from henceforth: “Quiet, Piggy.” He deserves it after saying it to a female reporter, when it applies so much better to him. I want him out of office so bad. To have to shut the fuck up. Yet I’ll be glad if the Piggy is rendered effectively silent after midterms.

Continuing awful behavior by big corps that shit on rank-and-file workers.

Hourly Walgreens employees will reportedly no longer receive paid time off for six major holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas, after the pharmacy giant was acquired by private equity firm Sycamore Partners

Here’s a contrary point of view. I too fear that the Senate 8’s agreement, even with the positives they did get, is a loss for us. I wanted us to stick to our guns. But I think it’s grossly unfair to want to dump fighters like Kaine and King as a result. I’m for a Dem youth movement. But … 1/2

… was this a winnable fight? Trump (and thus his congressional ass-kissers) would likely burn the place down before negotiating. Meanwhile people were suffering. I don’t know what’s right. I lean sticking with “no.” But I think smart, well-intentioned people are at work here. Benefit of the doubt.

I know this isn't getting as much attention as the other races, but so glad that Colorado voted in favor of Prop MM, which increases state income taxes on people earning more than 300K to help give breakfast and lunch to certain public school students, with additional funds going to SNAP.

So many horror stories coming out of ICE.

Ruth Delgado@heylookitsruth.bsky.social

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

For Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, or anyone else confused: THERE IS NO NETWORK OF ANTIFA! It’s a belief or a movement, NOT AN ORGANIZATION! But I don’t think you’re that confused. You’re just flagrant, unethical liars who will get your due for crimes against the American people.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.

KILMEADE: The president says climate change is a hoax, it's a con job. Where do you fall on this? EPA ADMINISTRATION LEE ZELDIN: The president is absolutely right

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Jane@localnotail.bsky.social

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

What's next? From today: "Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” “In sadness, I dissent.” “With deep disillusionment, I dissent.” What’s next?

Hooray for my state! More of these alliances, please.

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.” New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.
