Lifetime Democrat, animal lover, nurse, just figured out that I don’t have to worry about retirement anymore because I’ll probably be “deported” to prison in another country. Resist. It’s time for Good Trouble.

Fantastic question 👇

realKyleKeegan @realkylekeegan.bsky.social · 6h

Why is food assistance not an “essential function” that continues during a shutdown but ICE raids are?

Republicans are literally defying the law so that they don’t have to feed hungry children. I never want to hear the “party of the working class,” “law and order,” “constitutional,” “patriotic,” or “Christian” branding ever again. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies

As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

ICE agents should quit. In a few years, when their employment records are public (BTW this will happen), along with videos of their egregious acts, their kids will find out and ask "Dad, did you really do this to human beings?"

This, from @attackerman.bsky.social, is brilliant and appropriately brutal. Must read.

This reminds me of Rudy Giuliani describing the guy who patted him on the back once at Shop Rite years ago as a brutal attack that felt like he had been shot.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

I often think about how Cheney wanted revenge for what happened to Nixon, and how we live in the ruins made by that dream.

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”
