@durbin.senate.gov Your honorable career in public service has been irretrievably stained. In March you caved to vote for cloture on the CR. And now you've caved again to the monstrous regime & its GOP toadies. This is a real gut punch. You've failed your Illinois constituents & failed our country.

Hmmm...our dictator and his criminal cohorts are mass murderers.
In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Monsters in our midst. Time for accountability.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

There are consequences to obeying a president who rips families apart; who knocks down part of the WH to put up a gold-gilded ballroom; and who withholds food aid while holding lavish parties. The GOP acts like they are the exception. The shutdown is the Dems’ chance to smack them into adulthood.

@ramirez.house.gov says that ICE agents went room to room inside the daycare, looking for teachers to take in front of literal toddlers
this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

Calling this regime a gang of cruel, sadistic, racist pigs is an understatement.
"Hispanic support for Trump is now cratering everywhere. The administration's goal is they avoid the polls for fear they will be brutalized or abducted by ICE." — @snipy.bsky.social
The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter suppression
Trump's Big Lie has become government policy.

The Republicans' shutdown message is abundantly clear:
Let us jack up millions of people's health care costs or we'll starve the poor.
I wish that was an exaggeration. It's not.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Once again, trigger discipline of a guy playing a video game in an arcade. These rejects are playing Call of Duty on our streets.
Earlier on Canal Street, as agents attempted to disperse, one who I recognize from the courts pulled out a taser and threatened protester with it. @thecity.nyc

There was a minor scandal early in the Obama admin about people disrespecting the White House by wearing jeans in the Oval Office bsky.app/profile/jbf1...
This makes me sick.
That’s our House, our history.

The fact that it happened today stinks of retribution for Saturday.
