As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

Amy Acton spent 30+ years in medicine and public health. She shares her childhood story to give others hope. Vivek uses it to attack her. She offers survivors a reason to keep going. He offers them another reason to stay silent. Look at their choices. Then tell me who has character.

Had a saying at DailyKos in 2004 … DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

GOP and even some Dems point at some progressives and call them Commies or Marxists etc. But listen to what guys like El-Sayed (MI Sen) are saying. It’s about access to healthcare basic human rights for all. Peace. Affordability.

I worked with the HHS Bureau that literally propped up / saved our healthcare system during COVID. Always said something else would come along and they’d be crazy to dismantle our team. Republicans ripped us apart on April Fool’s Day in 2025. Fools indeed!

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

To put it simply: the earlier people cast their votes, the quicker campaigns can reallocate their resources towards flipping undecided voters. This is especially important during this election where many new voters are pulling away from MAGA. GOTV efforts go way farther with undecided voters.

Nearly half a billion dollars flooding into our elections from one man. When Elon writes massive checks to GOP super PACs, it can obscure where his money is being spent. But via his own super PAC, America PAC, we can see exactly which elections he wants to buy. Let's dive in... 🧵

"Election authorities in Los Angeles said the Justice Department’s lists of suspected noncitizen voters were so sloppily compiled that they seemed almost “performative” in nature, with thousands of names lacking Social Security numbers and other crucial identifying information."

🗳️ OHIO’S GOVERNOR RACE Dr. Amy Acton faces an ad featuring her estranged mother questioning her childhood abuse account. Police & court records support her account of childhood abuse. Voters deserve facts, not just accusations. 💜 Survivors deserve dignity. #Vote4DrAmyActon #Ohio #SheShed

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

Republicans trying to connect Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood by way of lies. Meanwhile his GOP opponent Mike Rogers is close friends with Donald Trump who incited the Jan. 6 attack--the largest terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. Where are the questions by media on this?!

The State Department has now covered up the memorial to the 321 American diplomats who died serving their country abroad. I personally knew a number of those dead heroes who gave their all serving their country. Some were killed along with their families. Trump and Rubio have erased them.

Per CBS 60 Minutes: "The midterms are just two weeks away, and President Trump is using his power to intimidate the people who run our elections, putting the voting system under remarkable stress."

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

So if I’m raped & get pregnant, I have 3 options: 1. Abort & go to prison. 2. Endure pregnancy that was forced on me, give birth & possibly deal with the rapist suing for custody cause he ain’t going to prison. 3. Suicide. Sounds like a war on women to me.

Souls to the polls. 👟🩰

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/
