Why do we still make women’s clothing without pockets? Are we still so worried we might carry our own money?

i regret to inform all of you that greene is actually good at a certain kind of backstabbing politics

Only one political party is actually expressing any empathy and concern on the way this shutdown is immediately impacting tens of millions of patients nationwide. The tragic irony is most of these patients live in states that support the current party in power. That party remains silent.

TRUMP ADMITS HE'S TAKING AWAY FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA WHILE HILARIOUSLY CLAIMING HE DESERVES THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! bsky.app/profile/atru...

George Takei, “Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free. But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other. This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”

Timeline Cleanse ‼️❤️❤️

The Coordinated Republican Propaganda Machine spent the entire morning on a partial Schumer quote that cut the context to suggest Dems relish the shutdown, then Trump makes it clear he is the one who wanted it - which is why he ordered them not to negotiate.

the longer this goes without even specifics on the threat the less of a threat it is

I just spoke with my doctor via telehealth concerning a checkup (everything is fine btw) he went off on RFKjr and the pharmaceutical companies. I said I have zero confidence in this administration and RFKjr. My doctor said “I have negative zero confidence in RFKjr.” I love my Doctor.

Unemployment is trash and the stigmatism behind it evil, but one aspect I might say is a net positive is the time I've had to reflect, and the way it's jerked me out of fear of accepting new challenges.

How Mark Bray, author of the book on antifa, was targeted with death threats: — Trump signs EO designating antifa as terrorists — DHS memo warns about "antifa-aligned" individuals — Far-right trolls target Bray on X — TPUSA treasurer launches petition against Bray www.wired.com/story/mark-b...

Since I'm talking about this, does anybody need line editing or copy editing on their books or movement resources? I would love to help nurture your works about making change or understanding the current moment and its history. I've got 20 years of experience and I will never ever use "AI"/LLMs.

Let me be clear: Democrats are at work waiting for Republicans to wrap up their vacation and join us. It’s time for Mike Johnson to bring his caucus back, get to work, and stop playing politics with folks’ lives.

Portland's downtown Pioneer Square at 4pm. It's a living hell. Most lunchtime food carts closed. Starbucks out of breakfast croissants. Musician playing ambient techno won't take requests.

The Emperor's new war. A complete fantasy presented in a room full of nodding sycophants who don't question a thing he says.

Noem claims Portland hid their war zone from her.

Yet another study shows that annual COVID vaccines save lives. When you vaccinate, you prevent severe illness, complications & high medical bills. COVID vaccines reduced: 1. Risk of ER visits by 29% 2. Hospital visits by 39% 3. Risk of death by 64% 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...

Autism antibodies are stored in the foreskin.

IRS is pulling back on its promise of back pay for idled workers. It’s another sign federal employees may not receive compensation once the government reopens.

Trump is an authoritarian who believes his appointees should be blindly loyal to him , not the Constitution. He demanded it of James Comey way before he was fired.

I was working on the story and he just came out and said it

Great so now we’re like two steps away from saying Jews cause autism

FYI: "Antifa" just means "democrats." From 9 months ago:

"A Chicago Heights Catholic priest began a 50-day pilgrimage in support of immigrant children, from Pope Leo’s boyhood home in Dolton, IL to New York ... 'This is not only a physical act of endurance, but a spiritual act of solidarity, a prayer in motion'..." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/06/c...

I had to check out what Politico is saying about this shockingly aggressive move by China. Nothing. 12 hours and no coverage. Americans simply cannot believe China just escalated the trade war massively. People are pretending it didn’t happen.

A masked DHS agent shot at peaceful protesters in Chicago, hitting a priest in the head with a pepper ball — for no apparent reason. Not normal.

Trump is gleefully using the shutdown he caused to inflict pain on the American people. As if enriching billionaires and taking health care away from millions of Americans wasn't bad enough, now he's ripping job-creating investments from communities across America.

GOP Sen. John Kennedy tells me there is absolutely no way Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster to reopen the government: “That's not even within the realm of possibility.” “You'd have to be smoking wizard weed to vote for that,” he says. “Dreamweaver, man. That ain't passing.”

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

After the ridiculousness of this regime has ended, these campus roads will be renamed, hopefully after feminist leaders, leaders of color and lead to trangender friendly student housing. #Pinks #ProudBlue #CharlieKirk bsky.app/profile/salt...

Like a lot of things with RFK Jr if someone just said this to you and wasn’t in charge of medicine in America you’d go: ooooooookay and keep pressing the elevator button

The media normalizes Trump and just because it’s the early stages of fascism doesn’t mean it’s not fascism. — With all due respect, this you? Context is in tact, 2023.

No clearer indication of the right’s moral rot than the swift evolution from angrily denying any association with buffoonish bigots like like Posobiec and Fuentes, to “there’s no harm in having a conversation,” to openly praising and promoting them.

Whatcom County's severe weather shelter for this winter will be located at 925 N. Forest St. Staff say they should be prepared to activate by Nov. 15.
