It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

There is an intensive effort by members of the national administration to label everything in opposition to their positions, including No Kings rallies, as left wing extremism. It is not extreme to oppose morphing the presidency into a monarchy, unless all the founders of our nation were extremists.

Don’t forget our sign making party tonight! Signups are in the previous post!

No Kings 2 on October 18: All Roads Lead to Columbia | Indivisible Upstate SC

Why travel 2+ hours instead of rallying nearby in Upstate SC? Because scattered crowds make noise, but tens of thousands standing together in peace and solidarity make HISTORY.

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

📣 Every American who gets a notice saying their health care premiums will go up needs to know it’s b/c Republicans are taking an extended paid vacation in order to help Trump cover up his relationship with sex-trafficker Epstein.

Mike Johnson’s Shutdown Strategy Is Corruption in Broad Daylight

Federal workers go unpaid, premiums are set to spike, and Congress is on a paid vacation—all to protect Trump from the Epstein files.

I've been fairly silent on this purple revolution ridiculousness.

I will say this though. You can't trust self-serving folks. Especially of the maga variety.

I'm not Catholic, but Pope Leo calls for unity in messaging against Trump's deportation raids.

A true show of WWJD. No wonder Evangelicals don't like him.

NC is changing its district maps for the fourth time since the 2020 census. Each redraw has disenfranchised voters.

The state’s top GOP legislators said their planned action follows Trump’s “call urging legislatures across the country to take action to nullify Democrat redistricting efforts.”
