None of these asshats has to worry about their own insurance/healthcare so they have no idea what the cost is. They're going to give each of us $300 and say, look, we fixed it, while declaring that everyone now has the "freedom" to buy ivermectin for all that ails you.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This is effing BRILLIANT. #MayorMamdani #BlueWave

HA

Maybe Roberts, unlike Mike Johnson, seems to be aware of what happened yesterday?

What each side will take from yesterday: GOP: everyone hates us, so we need to suppress the vote and cheat in every way we can to retain power. DEMS: clearly, our milquetoast approach is working, so let's keep the status quo and find ways to find consensus with the side that wants us all to die.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Let's all allow Dick Cheney's peaceful passing at the ripe old age of 84 to remind us of the importance and joy of speaking ill of the dead when the dead were assholes.

The capture by the far right of the media across all sectors is devastating

The most shocking part about this is that Kash Patel has a girlfriend

It's November 1. Hug anyone involved in getting college applications out the door. One difference I'm seeing this year: more and more non-white students choosing not to disclose race/ethnicity out of fear it will be the "thing" that gets them rejected. I hate this timeline.

Can he do some media training for the rest of the democratic party? He seems to understand how to answer a question without both-sidesing

You will not find a sadder post on the internet today.

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

They're going to build concentration camps for homeless people instead of just building fucking homes.

A Goodreads librarian went rogue, edited the site to expose "censorship in favor of Trump fascism." To hear them tell it, Goodreads was removing criticism of Trump’s book from the site. www.404media.co/rogue-goodre...

"Oh that won't work outside of New York." Same people said it wouldn't work *inside* of New York then desperately tried to make sure it would fail and they couldn't stop it; and what they've tried every election cycle doesn't work outside of New York, so maybe let's stop listening to those voices.

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

I have friends arguing to me this is all an oppo dump by the DNC & look, I have no love for establishment dems. I'm a registered Independent since the 90s. But, even if the DNC is behind this, they didn't make this shit up. He gave them the oppo to dump. My red line remains: even oopsy-Nazi is bad.

Calling it now: there's going to do a big "oopsy" in this demolition that ultimately requires destruction of the whole White House and Trump's just going to build a Gold House in its place.

Won't be around to say I told you so, but I'm predicting it now: in about 50 years, after whatever wars and hell need to happen to cleanse the nazification of America, some photographer is going to win a Pulitzer for taking a picture of the hordes of people pulling down Trump's ballroom walls.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Polebridge, Montana, and the surrounding North Fork area only has around 100 full-time residents. On Saturday, the hamlet on the edge of Glacier National Park saw more than 60 people attend a No Kings Indivisible rally at the dirt road intersection.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Cheers to anyone working with students trying to hit UNC Chapel Hill and UGA's stupid early deadline today

Straight up kidnapping

The Portland ICE protest camp literally has a rack full of inflatable costumes for demonstrators who want to try one on...

We need work requirements for Congress.

I'm old enough to remember that time a country "secretly" agreed not to release some American prisoners until a Republican could be elected president & even though we all knew it had happened he still got credit for brokering a deal for their release Thinking about that today for no reason at all.

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Watching so many people in high places go through the motions of polling and median-voter whispering can make you feel like you're in Bodysnatchers. It's worth a reminder that the typical experience of tyranny is...basically normal life. Which means we have to will ourselves to fight harder.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

The end of this meeting is just going to lead to a pitch for a new crypto currency, isn't it? War Coin?

1 year anniv of Hurricane Helene. Woke up to this massive tree looking like this. Had it fallen the other direction, I wouldn't be writing this. Western Carolina is still suffering from the effects of the storm, but I'm grateful for the community that banded together during that difficult time.

Cuomo could never.
