“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

For the love of America.

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.

Meet the Jesuit Cardinal Behind Pope Leo’s Social Justice Revolution

From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.

I hope the generals hold the line then.

I wonder how long ICE will keep working if they are not being paid?

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Democrats in Maine drafting 77 year old Janet Mills to run against Susan Collins because electrifying Graham Plattner is insufficiently pro-Israel is EVERYTHING you need to know about the fakakta state of our party.

It is just incredibly broken and corrupt.

Devasting cuts on so many levels at CDC this weekend- and per @altcdc.altgov.info note below- for those staff who are remaining, they have lost critical services to take care of themselves, which they need now more than ever, as they continue to protect all of us in the community from health threats

Alt CDC (they/them) @altcdc.altgov.info · 11h

More CDC Cuts 💣💥

Gone is the Employee Assistance Program. They help staff deal with many things, among them coping with the trauma of being the victim of a terrorist attack 2 months ago.

Also gone, every policy and communications role left, eliminating any communication function at CDC.
