On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma.

Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles

This shutdown is proof that Trump and his MAGA Republicans don’t care about the American people.

They don’t care about federal workers who aren’t receiving paychecks, they don’t care about your flights, and they don’t care about Americans being able to afford health care.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 12h

The first wave of missed paychecks from the government shutdown is likely to hurt the economy in many communities.

The longer other services remain shut off, the more the shutdown’s effects will spread.

The pain from the government shutdown is about to hit the public

Federal officials are bracing for the worst effects of the ongoing government shutdown to collide with the U.S. economy this week as missed paychecks and the absence billions of dollars of government ...

Rick Wilson, @therickwilson.bsky.social, has a great piece on what will happen after Trump dies. Among the gem comments is this:

“History will learn about the shell companies, the overseas accounts, the backroom deals where American policy was auctioned off like a Mar-a-Lago dinner table.”

In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: NO KINGS!
And President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power.

Please join me on 10-18-25!

NoKings.org

A poster:
Many demonstrators outdoors, holding protest signs and flags: NO KINGS!
The image of a crown with a red ‘X’ drawn through it; and, text that reads, “ Power belongs to the people. Join the movement. Saturday, October 18th. NO KINGS.”

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.
