It’s been a particularly heavy start to Hanukkah this year.

May the memories of those who were killed be a blessing.

May we keep in our minds the suffering of those injured.

And may we share our prayers with their families and the Jewish community in Australia.

Just closed my Home Depot credit card. Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, my wallet's ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. I'm tired of corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chase tax breaks. Join me! #WeAintBuyingIt 🚫 app.sosha.ai/s/nYp49HTN

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Trump is now using the government shutdown to push more mass layoffs — further damaging Virginia’s economy.

That’s an egregious attack on Virginia jobs.

Remember that you’re only one person. You can’t do it all. You’re not failing because you didn’t get it all done. Survival is not the bar. Living is.

Love y’all.

They have control of the following:
- The Executive Branch
- The Judicial Branch
- The Legislative Branch
- The majority of our traditional and social media platforms

So don’t buy their narrative they’re selling. They own this bc they can’t govern and they have no intention of putting America first

It’s not even October yet but you’ve already put 2,100 events on the No Kings map.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?
