Before we succumb to the amnesia of Trump’s Upside Down World, let’s take a moment to remember what happened five years ago. Because the shame of that day endures, and its consequences are all around us. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States: “The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”

The Prime Minister of Greenland Jens-Frederik Nielsen to the United States: “Enough is enough.”

never forget what they’ve done This company should not exist (California Superior Court, San Francisco County, as Case No. CGC-25-628528) bsky.app/profile/saba...

Dec 26, 1941. Churchill addresses Congress: "I have been in full harmony all my life with the tides which have flowed on both sides of the Atlantic against privilege and monopoly...In my country as in yours public men are proud to be the servants of the state and would be ashamed to be its masters."

"Kavanaugh Stop" went from a skeet on here to Bluesky meme to crosspollinating over on X to Brett Kavanaugh's burner account seeing it there to a whiny defensive footnote about it in a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. Juice.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

War Diary Day 1,391 Blaise Metreweli, the Chief of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, sticks it to the Killer in The Kremlin. And all his creepy helpers. I agree with every fucking word. VPDFO! www.gov.uk/government/s...

Statistically the history of this species is the oppression or slaughter of humanity by a minority of men in the name of personal profit or deluded ideology. This will never change. And we'll always have science, culture, art and God Only Knows to remind us of the species we could have been.

Shocking ahistorical error on NPR's Morning Edition, which stated as fact that America had "record" inflation under Biden, a frequent fact-free Trump claim. Biden topped 9%, then brought it down to under 3%. The record? 23.7% in 1920, but also 14.4% in 1947, and 14.8% as the '70s became the '80s.

Trump is an infirm, sundowning grifter owned by a collection of notorious criminals and it's not even a secret. If this were a functioning country we would have already ended this.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

To anyone who thinks it’s an “exaggeration” that the rule of law is in danger… U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes. We’ve fallen far.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Trump calls yet another woman bump "piggy," this time a Bloomberg Journalist, and embraces the Saudi dictator who ordered the murder of a Washington Post journalist. Have we no moral standards any longer in America? At long last, have we no shame?

Time for @chrismurphyct.bsky.social to replace @schumer.senate.gov

This. Tesla is a mid-sized car company with a valuation build on hype and lies, an ageing range of models, facing tough competition from multiple places and with a CEO a large proportion of potential customers actively hate.

It seems like so many people on the right should be aligned with so many people on the left over the doomsday existential threat of AI and robotics in the hands of a handful of greedy oligarchs. But they have succeeded in pitting us against each other with culture war drivel.

Christ, he is supernaturally good at this.

It's a testament to how much the Republican Party has changed that Dick Cheney's final vote was for the Democrats.

CHRIS CHRISTIE (a Republican): “This is no longer the Department of Justice. What it is now is a Capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so.”

At Saturday's No Kings protest in Brighton, a Rochester suburb, I said to a wealthy business owner "glad to see the capitalists are here protesting." His reply: "There is no capitalism without freedom." Exactly correct! Spread his insight, please.

We don’t hate America. We hate what Trump is doing to it.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Media Do your job

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud: “We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Literally because he has a smiley face and a pleasant manner people deal with him like he’s not one of the most dangerous people in America’s history.

The White House has no right to declare anything about American law, especially not The Constitution.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

Oh huh, weird, I could swear I read this same Supreme Court three months ago rule that an injunction against the president‘s prerogatives is inherently harmful to our constitutional design

One of Trump’s own former attorneys….

Wikipedia is what the internet was meant to be and one of the few online places that hasn’t got worse. It’s a miracle

NPR is whitewashing Charlie Kirk, reporting minutes ago that he "had critics" without a mention of his racism, misogyny, and hate-mongering. Yes, Kirk created a large organization promoting conservatism to young people, but tell the rounded facts about what he said and did.

Across the political spectrum, our public debate over the murder of Charlie Kirk is missing the real moral issues and their long-term implications for freedom. www.dcreport.org/2025/09/11/c...

... namely, that (except in rare and extreme circumstances not present here) the military must not use lethal force against civilians, even if they are alleged, or even known, to be violating the law."
