Been watching our buddy Nori the Shih Tzu this past week. Contrary to rumors he is not a mop, wookie or little gremlin. He is an adorable fuzzball. Kal bosses him around even though he’s bigger than Kal.

On vacation this coming week, posting will be light to nonexistent. Keep up the fight.

The Iran war has the least public support of any US war since polling existed. Widely opposed before any impact on gas prices. It sucks that lying like this is such a successful path to online clout. Proponents don’t seem to realize it, but it cultivates a cynical despair that helps the fascists.

dude cant stop cutting ads for dems

Dear Leader Trump's ugly mug will soon sully a giant gold coin www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

foley is god youtu.be/7ssDFzesdn4

Mick Foley quit the WWE to post social media videos reminding us to hold the administration accountable for their crimes against immigrants.

this is a man with billions in us govt contracts. if the democrats don't investigate him, its a disaster -- and they punted at the chance to do it when they had the majority before.

no one in his actual life has ever truly loved this man and he knows it

i would love the version of the democratic party that fox tells their viewers is the real one Fox News freaks over Democrats’ ‘revenge agenda’ www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

NEW from me: The Trump admin is trying to stifle the youth vote in Nov by investigating a nonpartisan research group that helps universities boost student voter turnout. And the probe appears based on a conspiracy theory from notorious election denier Heather Honey. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This is the perennial GOP strategy: 1. We must cut these programs, the deficit is out of control! 2. Now we're at war, we must pay for the war! 3. But now the deficit is out of control again, and we must fund the war effort, don't you love the troops? We must cut domestic spending.

One Trump-allied company controlling more than 60% of local TV news in your city means: - Trump could have more influence over what you watch - Your prices could skyrocket - You could have fewer choices But state AGs are fighting this, and I'm with them. We've got to stop this.

Fox News isn’t bothering to sell the staggering cost of the ill-conceived war President Donald Trump launched against Iran, spending about 11 minutes on the $200 billion price tag -- less than 1 minute in prime-time. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

"rocky turnaround effort" is funny way to phrase it since cbs is doing the same thing the washington post is: maga-fication

i want to make an 80s/90s action movie but liberal coded. badass black woman taking out corrupt ice goons and white supremacists. like janelle monae doing a pam grier type thing.

this is one of those onion headlines thats like a week away from being real Trump Threatens Airstrikes On U.S. Gas Stations theonion.com/trump-threat...

they make our word vomit readable

After years of delay, the January 6 plaque is up in the Capitol - but it’s hidden in the basement. They can try to hide it, but we will not forget. We will continue to loudly honor the truth & the heroic officers who protected and defended this building, our democracy, and those who serve here.

"They will want to look into President Trump's eyes as they thank him, but they must not. They must not. They must not cast their gaze upon his glory, for they are not worthy. They should look to the dirt and the worms and count themselves blessed to be embraced by his watchful eye. ALL HAIL TRUMP!"

The right apparently thinks that the people serve the government. So-called "centrists" seem to think the people serve corporate interests. And progressives understand that in our society, both government and corporations were created to serve the interests of the people.

this is the kind of messaging going on at fox news, the channel democrats think they should engage with like its normal media

cant lie and say i didnt enjoy some of his past work but he went full maga for the last 20 or so years

BREAKING: The White House is out with a new National Policy framework for AI. The proposal says: "States should not be permitted to regulate AI development." It also says that states shouldn't be able to penalize AI companies when people break the law with their models.

the thing about the Olde Twitter culture whereby leftism equals being a belligerent dickhead, and the bigger a belligerent dickhead you are the more radical your leftism, is that invariably you get guys who just like saying slurs and reverse engineer "left" excuses for doing it

"We've spent the past two years watching the Israeli military murder children in Gaza. No one is being held accountable for that. This is a problem of our foreign policy establishment. It is a bipartisan problem, a problem of elite impunity, zero accountability," says @mattduss.bsky.social.

Trump makes an incredibly crude, ignorant, insulting, and racist "joke" about Japan, with the prime minister of Japan sitting next to him. Guess where this is framed as "the latest example of Mr. Trump's penchant for tossing aside diplomatic norms."

People need to understand they are rightly on alert about AIPAC and that you also sound like a fucking Nazi when you spout dumb antisemitic shit about puppets and secret controlling cabals. Do better.

It’s amazing we’re in year two of a second Trump term and we haven’t seen the launch of 20-25 liberal media ventures. Somehow we think pleading with the NYT is the best we can do.

It would be nice if liberals did some media stuff. We’re in crisis mode now. 8 states are suing to stop another MAGA media monopoly www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

I was hoping Kat would be interested in helping other progressives with their campaigns. She is, and if you are a progressive running for office, you should talk to her!

Every time I get a news alert notification I think it could be the one

New Friedman unit just dropped (look it up)

I wrote about how centrists Dems are terrified of an @aoc.bsky.social presidental run, even while simultaneously dismissing her as unelectable. open.substack.com/pub/ser1897/...

I voted for Hillary and Obama and Biden and Kamala and Kerry and Gore and Clinton. The party didn’t prioritize SCOTUS and that’s why we lost Roe. I did *my part*.

The strongest ally Trump and Republicans have is stealth right-wing media rewriting history before it can become history

"The people of the Twin Cities" are the winners of the prestigious 2026 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Americans have harsh view of Trump: 'Arrogant' and not 'intelligent' www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

how the fox machine works - pete hegseth invokes god in telling the public to praise the troops executing war - a cbs personalitymakes an anodyne observation - republicans attack her - fox frames it as "the mainstream media hates god" - rinse, repeat

Increasingly seems to me like the WH has *intentionally* taken out a "blame Israel" insurance policy as a kind of fallback/escape route when and if things go sideways.

regardless how old they are, what's wrong with democrats is temperament, perception, belief - most of them are STILL talking about "compromise" and "bipartisanship" when what we need is people who look at republicans and see only one thing: enemies that must be defeated by any means necessary.

Awful. A teenager, dead by suicide in an ICE detention center. There is now a crisis of suicide inside the detention system; I have never seen anything like it. Suicide has happened before, but they were very rare. This is the third or fourth this year.

You can continue to absurdly obfuscate like this, but accusing half of Congress of being under Israel’s thumb, conflating all American Jewish groups with AIPAC, and seeing AIPAC as the secret puppeteer of politics is both increasingly common in left spaces and deeply antisemitic

obviously i dont feel bad for alex jones at all but holy shit, he's totally drunk here youtu.be/zjg9aN3sOt0

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

enron: companies are gonna trade energy like stock, dont think too hard about it theranos: we invented a new way to test blood, just give us your money, we figured it out, chill, just give us money the mortage crisis: just give us money dont think about how nobody can pay off these mortgages

one of the things i have learned as an adult is that nobody knows anything, especially in business. i remember when aol bought time warner and we got months and months of rapturous coverage of all the vertically integrated shit they would do to make billions. a few years later it was a disaster.
