This….is why it’s a BIG fucking deal.

We’re all a little hyper sensitive right now. We’re going through trauma. Together. As a nation. It’s understandable to see this coup and blame. However, we must get through #Midterms together. Together! Our focus must remain steadfast while still staving off this traitorous reich regime,…

Now do the graph on University tuition. Is that NIMBY too?

Baby boomers benefited from low university tuition, lower education requirements for entry jobs, cheaper housing, higher minimum wage… then they pulled the ladder up behind them.

Yes, they have, and that's a problem. But there are a lot of reasons for it that people don't wanna hear about (including the effect of cohabitating two-income couples that began in the late 80s, and liberal NIMBY policies).
But yes, you could find a cheap flop more easily in the 80s than now.
Housing prices have way outpaced income since then:

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS.

(I raised ~$400 for Cascadden)
Recount confirms that New Hampshire Republicans very narrowly came out on top in Tuesday special election for state House. Democrat Corinne Cascadden netted 9 votes but still lost by 5 to Republican Marc Tremblay. Trump won it 52-48 last year.

I’m sick of hearing the bitching. Sick of the memes and jokes. Sick of narrating this #COUPOFUSA!

#THISISACOUP We can do better than this. We must strategize! For NOW. Right now. TODAY!
United strategy for now, right now, not for midterms(if we’re lucky), not to narrate and certainly not to divide!

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits
*half benefits
*full benefits
*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?
New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay.

Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH

Whatever “deal” GOP makes w/Dems is but a lie.No mater WHAT IT IS. We need gov open! It’s at least a foothold on balance of powers! Period. GOP is NOT trying to “make a deal”.No matter what they promise.We really need to use UNITED strategy! Simular to #Prop50. This is not “business as usual”.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Just a reminder.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.
