Ronaldo Salgado, son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was tragically shot and killed by ICE in Houston, Texas earlier this year, made a surprise appearance at the Ready. Go. Vote. Rally. Ronaldo, thank you for using your voice to encourage our communities to get out to vote 🗳️

Donald Trump and his administration are telling you that you’re on your own during a hurricane, tornado, fire, or flood. Know that Illinois will keep fighting to make sure you’re protected when disaster strikes.

🚨 CAUGHT ON CAMERA Israeli settler: “Go back to Jordan... It's not your land.” Suri Crowe's group: “But why can't they harvest their trees?” The settler then threatens to call the police and have members of the group taken away. Suri Crowe reports from the ground in the West Bank.

I hope he is forced to live the rest of his life on the run.

Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank of Palestine are nothing new. They have been going on for years; but recently, the frequency & violence of the attacks have increased. Especially, as Palestinians attempt to harvest their crops during olive harvest season. youtu.be/-QpBFD6uh8U?...

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

Tim Miller on Elon Musk threatening us: “I’m not scared…I also think it’s funny that he’s such a pathetic little boy.”

"The Democratic party is more or less a normal, healthy political party....Party-switching is taboo, but not haram. The Republican party, on the other hand, functions as an authoritarian state."

Massive line for Obama, Amy Acton, and Sherrod Brown rally in Ohio.

I was Director of an ICU that administered an experimental drug to last chance melanoma patients once. It’s a terrible disease. This vaccine news is a modern day miracle if it works like promised. Don’t you just LOVE science?!?! 💕❤️💕❤️ wapo.st/4et1aQB

Jon Stewart on Mike Rogers: “He was a real pain in our ass in 2010 when we fought for the Zadroga Act for 9/11 first responders. He called it a New York problem and voted against it, all while claiming to respect the heroes of 9/11. It was all bullshit.”

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

“The most despicable act that we've seen from a campaign in recent memory.” @timmiller.bsky.social condemns Vivek Ramaswamy's $4 million attack ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother, who was complicit in the sexual abuse Acton suffered as a child.

PSEUDO-“CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS, like Larry Ellison, and his anti-Free Speech lackey Bari Weiss, or Miriam Adelson, support felon, fraud, rapist, pedophile, Kremlin/Israel owned criminal traitor Trump out of fear and hate; never realizing that their fear & hate based Abrahamic Cult ideology is PURE EVIL!

It’s a clear conflict of interest for the Trump Administration to have their own lawyers represent immigrant children against their own deportation machine. We have two demands for Secretary Kennedy: (1) Drop this absurd plan (2) Restore independent legal counsel Now.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

The aftermath of today's Russian attack. Missile and drone strikes hit a metro station, school, medical facility, and ice arena in Kyiv, leaving one dead and three injured.

Why isn’t Rubio resigning for being left out of the loop? I think we all know why.

America is *now* an ally of Russia? I'd argue it started in 2016 when the Trump campaign and the RNC softened the language on providing lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine as part of the Manafort/Kremlin/Yanukovich "peace plan" to cede Ukrainian territory to Putin. But okay. We can go with "now".

What Sikorski says is true and most Americans don't believe it because they're received a steady drip feed of rubbish about Ukraine for years from US corporate media. bsky.app/profile/noth...

We’re living in dangerous times.

THIS 👇 TOO......

Friends — It's time to defund Elon Musk. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

This is the work of a weak man. A man without a moral compass. A man whose actions are completely controlled by a Russian despot, and he’s stealing us blind.

SNAP enrollment has fallen to a 17-year low, with 5 million fewer recipients, including 2 million children. @crampell.bsky.social explains how cuts to food assistance helped pay for tax breaks: “This is literally about starving the poor to fatten the rich.”

Trump lied. Again.

Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Say it with us: Russia was never a hoax. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/joe...

NEW: The order to throttle Starlink (Starshield) came from the White House to the Pentagon. I still think Elon was involved, though. He’s currently a Pentagon employee as well www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Donors of $333 million to the ballroom include "contributors who have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts and, in one case, a pardon for a family member." From @washingtonpost.com wapo.st/4yiUDPx

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Traitorous.

Remember, Donald Trump thinks we should all stop worrying about inflation and simply "love it."

Elon Musk should be deported.

It’s Ukraine and the rest of the free world vs. Putin, Musk, and Trump. Shame on us America. Shame on us.

JD Vance: "You ask Ken Paxton a simple question and you will get a direct answer" NARRATOR: Paxton has refused to answer Qs about why he won't debate, why he went to England on July 4 w/ his mistress, why he went to Dubai with his mistress, his 15 homes, or how his net worth has increased 7,000%...

I’m telling you she’s the Jacuzzi bath remodel lady. *

A Republican PAC spent nearly $25,000 running ads to help Sen. Susan Collins in Portland. Wrong Portland. They’re inept at everything. Portland, Oregon, that is. Not Portland, Maine. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.
