So FYI, ICE is definitely in Oakland RIGHT NOW, clashing with protesters.
Whatever deal Lurie made with Trump does not include Oakland, which unlike SF is majority nonwhite. And of course has a Black female mayor.

They're still coming for Oakland right now - which was surely the plan all along.

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.

A new poll shows Americans blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats for the shutdown 53%-37%. (Independents blame Trump by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, 58%-21%.).

People aren’t dumb.

Trump's approval rating on the economy takes hit because of shutdown, inflation, CNBC survey finds

Americans' views on the economy turned more negative in the third quarter with deepening concerns about jobs, inflation and the outlook.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

🧵 Veterans, like everyone else, are being hurt by this reckless shutdown. VA hospitals stay open, but GI Bill payments are stalled, casework is ignored, and thousands of veteran federal workers are missing paychecks. Our heroes deserve stability and respect, not to be used as a means of leverage.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.
