Really telling use of “we” here.

When you die, this is the first sign you see.

Gee, how nice of him

I think there's a decent chance that the Pope visits Chicago during this presidency and while there asks to see Broadview and I wonder how that plays out.

First Calvin and Hobbes comic strip was published 40 years ago yesterday. 🐯 👦🏼

Do you live somewhere with nationalized healthcare??

Epstein survivors just demanded the release of the files in this new PSA. Watch it here.

What a terrible day to know how to read

The poorest aren't only objects of our compassion, but teachers of the Gospel. It's not a question of “bringing” God to them, but of encountering Him among them. Serving the poor is not a gesture to be made “from above,” but an encounter between equals, where Christ is revealed and adored. #DilexiTe

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

No [drawn-in comma] new wars!

Per @jenniferjjacobs.bsky.social, DOD presented Trump with plans for strikes in Venezuela yesterday, including on the ground. Astonishing to see the U.S. on the brink of another regime-change invasion with essentially none of the pre-2003 effort to rationalize it domestically and internationally.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Back and then gone again, Republican leadership are signaling that the funding bill votes will be the only votes in the House this week, they're sending everyone home afterwards

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

Someone reminded me of this piece I wrote 11 years ago.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Now my budgeting app is noticing the shutdown impacts... 😭

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

This is the woman who made a joking video about SNAP, then was featured in a Fox News story that didn't mention it was a joke, then went viral, then was labeled AI. I found her original post and she shared this in response

I did not criticize the administration. Please don’t put in the newspaper that I criticized the administration.

If he is saying billion, with a B, that's about 400 pounds per person, which seems like an unhealthy amount of weight to lose. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

This is DEPRAVED

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Is Trump blaming himself and his GOP for the shutdown?

None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

It is just nice for something good to have happened

With the polls closed, Zohran Mamdani unveils his “100 Mosques in 100 Days” plan.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

👀

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Truly gross

Good point.

You need to understand that he actually believes it is illegal to criticize him. Why? Because Trump believes he - not the people - decides the law. This is why we are in the middle of, not on the verge of, a totalitarian takeover.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

A retired police officer in Tennessee was arrested and put in jail after sharing a Facebook post about the killing of Charlie Kirk. After more than five weeks since the incident, he’s planning to sue, his attorney told The Post.

Wow!

The ppl replying to this with variations of “only two who cares/if the rest…” are the same ppl who refuse to take a STEP because it is the first not the only step needed. Two today means more tomorrow. Things have to start somewhere. Stop demanding perfection out the gate.

Joe Rogan is confusing measles with chicken pox

It’s fun to look at this ai slop nazi propaganda and then remember what these guys actually look like. This isn’t what they (or america) looks like and far from loving america, this is an expression of severe self loathing bsky.app/profile/geof...

So they have hundreds of millions just lying around that they’ll never miss to give to the government programs immediately, is what they’re announcing

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

The only question in my mind about Platner: Would he be worse to have in the Senate than Collins? If not, let the primary play out so the people of Maine can decide who the nominee will be.

The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.
