And yet, the Young Republican bigots continued to commit their bigotry to text. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that older Republicans are prone to making stupid decisions too.

No Kings means no thrones, no crowns. If we did have a king, it wouldn't be motherfucking King Krasnov.

On Oct 18, we march for democracy.
150 people who oppose this regime. Follow all and share so we can connect. That is our greatest power.

Not reposting the nonsense from the right about how Saturday's march is ANTI-AMERICAN! SOROS-FUNDED!

What they're saying is so nonsensical that it reeks of desperation.

They're scared of a simple display of mass opposition.

Bring your American flags, folks.
It's a pro-America, pro-democracy march

Today, #SCOTUS heard oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a case that could dismantle what remains of the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. I stand with my #CBC colleagues to protect the voices not just of Black Louisianians, but of all people across our nation, and to defend the sacred right to vote.

JD Vance is refusing to condemn MAGA youth celebrating Hitler and bragging about rape.

He stands with radical extremists, not with America.

Donald Trump will betray you. Just ask the people who voted for him in Alaska.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 22h

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant to Alaska, Parts of Which Just Flooded

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

After an RNC-linked group praised Hitler & bragged about rape, a close ally of Harmeet Dhillon — Trump’s top “civil rights” lawyer at DOJ, whom she retweets from her official account — called the first Black House Minority Leader a “house slave.”

If Harmeet won’t condemn it, she should resign.

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out mass layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown. The case centers on Trump’s statements indicating that the planned firings would be politically motivated, targeting employees based on their political affiliation.
