PROTEST RALLY IN OSLO, NORWAY!

Today, we came together in Oslo, in front of the Parliament, to protest what is happening back in our homeland.

Obama is also here this evening to speak at a ticketed event so the date was partly chosen to coincide (but is not at all affiliated) with it.

“…this period is often when lame duck Republican state legislatures, school boards, Mayors, and City Councils get up to mischief, passing bills and creating new rules that will limit the power of their successors. Monitor the work of your local officials closely over the next few months….”

Okay, FINE. Since nobody else has done it yet, I made a supercut of Mike Johnson responding to tough questions with "I don't know."

Yes, please!!👇

“Pleading ignorance of an outrage…has become so frequent for Johnson that journalist Aaron Rupar…suggested…that journalists should consider asking…:

“Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it’s problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?” “

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 6d

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.

No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.

We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

There’s such a contrast between those two.

One wants to smear a large portion of the American population and be an elite bully

One is thoughtful and joyful and welcoming of all American no matter their background.

I know who I’d rather listen to.

I’m an atheist.

I was taught responsibility, compassion and have a moral compass without belief in some all-powerful, all-knowing entity.

Knowing right from wrong and behaving humanely doesn’t take religion.

What the GOP and Administration are doing is overtly cruel and brutal. 😞
