Kinda funny/not funny that Putin dispatched his foreign secretary to Iran so the two countries could jointly announce mutual military aid and support ... AFTER tRump announced Russia could sell oil globally again. Dear Glorious Leader is too fucking dumb to know how badly we've been played.

Last time I checked, giving aid and comfort to an enemy of America is considered treason. Lifting sanctions on Russia to sell diesel fuel it refines from Iranian oil in order to expand its war on our ally Ukraine feels pretty treasonous. Vote blue accordingly.

When the absolute worst of corrupt, manipilative venture capitalist cronies running the country for Dear Glorious Leader's horrible, lethal, illegal and unconstitutional goals take or destroy everything we value and believe in, you have to ask: What's left when there's nothing left?

In today's trying times where Dear Glorious Leader and his fascist thugs terrorize citizens, be Renée Good and TJ Sabula. Speak truth to power. Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Guessing there were about a thousand of us assorted paid George Soros agitators, leftists, pinkos and liberals in Mount Vernon, WA, this afternoon protesting the murder of Renée Good at the hands of ICE.

Sixteen years before this action, my newlywed mom was student teaching in Yelm, WA, to finish her state teaching certificate. She related that the principal fired her because "We can't have a pregnant home economics teacher." Oh, the rich irony of 1962. I was born just a few months later.

This Day in Labor History: October 31, 1978. President Jimmy Carter signed the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Let's talk about this important piece of legislation that extended civil rights and worker rights!

Just to be clear, Living While Brown is now more criminal than: • Falsifying business records to pay a porn star • Tax evasion • Defrauding a charity • Bilking "university" students • Inciting Jan. 6 insurrectionists • Bombing a boat in international waters • Sexual assault • Slander • Pedophilia

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

At least a couple thousand peaceful protesters lined several blocks of the busiest street in Burlington, WA, this afternoon for #NoKings. Heartwarming to see so much progressive support in rural Skagit County.

Question to the Supreme Court: Now that Dear Leader and his AG have given you a big FU to your 9-0 order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S., you gonna order your marshals to get him back? Or, here's an idea, have them arrest Dear Leader for obstruction of justice?

Dear Leader gives me more reasons every single day to scream FUCK TRUMP, FUCK VANCE. Today, more than ever. If we had a shred of dignity left on the world stage, Pootin's most useful idiots just destroyed it. Slava Ukraine

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Get Rep. Joe Townes to speak for the Congressional Democratic Caucus. Right. Now.

🔥 WATCH: “Anybody can violate the law. The Pope, The president, Any sonofabitch can violate the law — how bout that? That’s fascist bullshit. We have one law. Or we have chaos.” Rep. Joe Towns (D-MEMPHIS) let loose about Trump implying the law doesn’t apply to him.

More cause to impeach, and we're only eight days into this orange cluster of illegality.
