My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

Everyone in Portland, especially, knows to not resist or escalate. Everything is on camera, and it's important to show what is really happening, for when ICE comes out with their outrageous lies about being attacked.
Non-violent resistance is changing minds around the country.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

🧵:

Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

The more GOP officials and right-wing hacks try to spin and pivot from their Young Republican leaders praising Hitler and racism and gas chambers for their enemies, the more it puts the story in the spotlight.

Keep at it!

Welp—CDC’s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)—our health census—has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.—is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off

NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Vance, miserable liar that he is, referred to these bigoted, Nazi-flavored Young Republican posts as a "college group chat."

But most of the quoted in the Politico article are GROWN ADULTS with JOBS.

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

How is playing a clarinet a crime? ICE is out of control. State authority must hold individual ICE agents accountable for their thuggery

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

And yet, cowardly Mike Johnson still protects trump & others in Epstein's pedo-files by not swearing her in. What's his excuse this time?

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.
