Exciting wins this week against the giant extraction machine who's bounty goes to only a teeny tiny percentage of everyone. Here is a clip that outlined peak corporate awfulness. P.S. the teeny tiny amount Nestle pays for their water that they sell back to us is truly astonishing.

Increasingly the news just makes me tired.

Increasingly makes me think of DC comics Bizzaro world ""Us do opposite of all earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!".

Increasingly the quality of writing seems so dumbed down that I really am left without words. Ironically this article has a bi-line but sure does sound like it's written via AI "The writer, who is clearly a fan of using the imagination, as evidenced in his writing, calls it "a form of perception"."

Joyful resistance. >> "The goal was to make it harder for the Proud Boys to create slick online recruitment videos. "We're not going to change their minds," one organizer said. "But we can make sure their videos are filled with poop emojis and a lot of music.""

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

California will start producing and selling its own supply of low-cost insulin in January. The suggested price for consumers will be no more than $55 for a pack of five pens. Currently even generic insulin typically costs about $260 for a pack of five. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

As the MAGA sanctioned violence of ICE continues and escalates, I think of Kent State and the killings that happened May 4, 1979. >> This is a conversation w/ Devo's Jerry Casale on that event. "history as it had been taught was one big lie." Also catch the doc on DEVO if you can - it's very good.

People are fascinated with serial killers & their terrible deeds. Monsters! Yet, some people go to war and do things as bad as any of them. Related Some ICE workers clearly are there for the violence & their post has become their permission slip. Also worth a read > the Stanford Prison Experiment.

This popped into my feed today. So many specific details about the rot behind our current farm labor system that has slavery kind of built in, from a small farmer, crop scientist and ex-farm worker, Sarah Taber. 24 minutes....wow. #thesystemisrigged #ice

"Fear. Anger. Hate.....by design these platforms spread lies - by a 2018 study 6xs faster....if you lace it with fear, anger, hate it can go viral.....online violence is real world violence." Maria Ressa, Nobel Peace Prize-winning journalist #thedailyshow

THE most unfriendly "friends". Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade suggests in response to the other host's suggestion to jail all homeless people who have mental illness - that actual murder is another solution “...or involuntary lethal injection… or something. Just kill ‘em.” #WTF

That "birthday book" is so weird & slapped together. Besides the infamouse Trump letter are odd little notes and drawings and zebras and lions having sex. linked below for you to see with your own very own eyes (from PBS yeah, the one that is being defunded by this administration. #eptstein

These statistics are always shocking to see but in today's climate as we hurtle toards #R.F.K.Jr. land even more alarming.

Let this sink in…

"75 in a 70 is not a national security thread" - John Shin, a Utah violinist, has returned to Utah after being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Colorado. He was reportedly released on bond after being detained on Aug. 18. #icestory

I stopped shopping at Target specifically after they rolled back their "inclusive" policies. The daughter of the founder of Target Anne & Lucy Dayton called the move "a betrayal". The boycott was lead by Pastor Jamal H. Bryant. "I think we are looking at the moving of peanut shells in central park."

Just finished this over three hour interview with Hunter Biden. He goes into detail talking about EVERYTHING. Great conversation covering everything from his past drug addiction to *that* George Clooney op-ed. #huntterbiden

my new piece in @thenation.com, up now. no trigger alert: no eddie cantor references in this one. www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Katie Couric does a great job of outlining the facts around MAGA's terrible well, everything. 1. Destroying Food Aid housed in Saudi Arabia 2. There were guidelines in place to make The Hill Country safer - they were ignored 3. and of course Epstein

The very 1st place I lived in LA was across from MacArthur Park - in a million years I would not have predicted that many years later in the following century there would come a day when a heavy military outfit would stomp around the park, scare people & shut down a kids sumner camp. #losangeles

Why one pre-med recent UCLA grad is choosing to move to Tijuana. This is such a great listen. #mexico

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die. There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

Friend and new kid on the block fighting the good fight.

As ever, so caring “You know, we use [the Rose Garden] for press confernces, and it doesn’t work because the people fall,” he said. "Women, with the high heels, it just didn’t work.”....presidential historian Michael Beschloss described her (Melania Trump's) botanical vision as “grim.”

#EyesPutOut #RubberBullets Increasing availability of rubber bullets and other less lethal weapons has led to a rise in the use of force against protesters, resulting in a huge increase in permanent injuries reliefweb.int/report/world...

Non-lethal bullets are being fired at everyone. They do very real damage. This police state action has inflamed the ICE protests and is very, very wrong. #ICEprotest

34 min video this Friday. LA #iceprotests precursor

The War of the Roses has begun. Now maybe, Elon can throw his money at Trumps opposition? I'm not a fan of the guy at all, but kind of scary actually where this could go if you look at what happened June 30 and July 2, 1934 in Germany.

AI pretending to be dumb is kind of the equivalent to the hot girl who pretends to be dumb in order to function better in a world that she perceives to be hostile to her?

Sadly all of this is not shocking anymore. P.S. The total compensation for CORECIVIC's CEO, Damon T. Hininger, in 2024 was $7,471,923. humans=profit=prison-pipeline

Me finally leaning into Caturday and clicking on the trending posts (so many cute cats) instead of looking at all of the turmoil - now considering it a national day of rest.

‘Fight back and don’t let them win’: actor Pedro Pascal decries Trump’s attacks on artists: Comments at Cannes come after authoritarian US president’s sickening, childish, demented social media posts against Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Bruce Springsteen was undaunted by President Trump’s threatening social media tirade to ‘keep his mouth shut’ as, during his second concert in Manchester, England, the rocker once again delivered a three-minute speech critical of ‘an unfit president and a rogue government.’”

"the system is so strong and so violent. I was thinking to the very last moment I would be deported." —Fabian Schmidt on his nightmare experience being held by ICE and then in a Max 3 holding facility. 35 min

On the right side of history.

It's amazing how much Madeleine L'Engle's series informed my world view.

Fiona Apple's new song about our inhuman for-profit jail system. At this point anyone with half a brain knows how stacked against certain people the system is.The video is a montage of women stuck in the system courtwatch.org. "they wouldn't let her go home....and now there's no more home"

The amount of time this man plays golf and the budget playing golf sucks up is extra extraordinary. But you know he’s not receiving a salary.
