The US political system is now essentially one fascist-promoting party, one fascist-appeasement party, and a few individual outliers, people called nasty names for suggesting policies every other industrialized country has had for decades. And masked thugs keep kidnapping people off the streets.

Due process, cigarette and blindfold.

"FBI says people dressed as ICE agents are committing a string of crimes" we know, they're ICE agents, we're all watching it too

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

if these fuckers were allowed to, they'd just be firing live ammo into vehicles as they whiz by. states need to start arresting them.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

CUCK SCHUMER!

Dick Durbin can room with Merrick Garland in the Neville Chamberlain Retirement Home.

“Surely you aren’t seriously suggesting we are dicks for being afraid of you?”

For the fearful older Jewish vote, appoint as head of the NYPD

It’s so interesting to look into the eyes of every Republican cabinet member and see a shimmering metallic psychosis.

Just another reminder that what someone buys with their SNAP benefits isn’t your fucking business and creating morality around food is one way we get disordered eating patterns.

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

Found these old Plume, trade paper back nicely illustrated editions. We sold so many of this book when I worked at dark Carnival in Berkeley. I never read it. Maybe it’s time. #thedarktower #stephenking #michaelwhelan

I would never commit jury nullification if I were a juror in any of the administration's ginned up Nazi cases, I would simply apply the rule of law and the jury instructions exactly as they were given to me and I hope everyone here can say the same

this is terrifying, what if he had a weapon? it's not easy to go first, you take all the harms.

Jury: a sandwich is not a weapon Us: could you rule on whether a hot dog is a sandwich next?

if you believe fully autonomous robot butlers are just over the horizon you are actually one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive and we should take your money from you so we can put it towards something worthwhile

“Why don’t you send me some nudes?” 😲 Tesla said this to a 12 year old kid asking about soccer. Sounds like Elon designed Grok very much in his own image: “I’m always on unhinged, I just dial it back sometimes so I don’t get sued by puritan twitterers” This story from CBC News is *wild*

I am so fucking sick of these fucking people. There is NO WAY we can survive another three years of this shit. The midterms need to be a BLUE BLOODBATH. Every fucking one of them has to be impeached & convicted. Then we need tribunals. www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...

As with Bernhard Goetz in the mid-1980s, juries are sympathetic towards Subway vigilantes.

Everybody was sandwich fighting

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.

“I hear more and more Republicans are so poor that they can't afford “owning" the Libs anymore.” Lol

Forgive the Revolutionary War symbolism. Today, NJ & VA were at a pivotal moment — just like during 2 defining periods of the Revolution. This time, two strong women stood against the pull of authoritarianism. NJ & VA became beacons of victory & democratic strength for a nation needing it.

Gosh, Colorado voters want to feed children. How are we to make America great again without starving our children? Real Americans demand golden ballrooms for oligarchs, not food.

BREAKING: every Republican has died

Well, I did my part. I voted for Mamdani 10 times from Kentucky AND my dead mama voted for him 12.

Deportations are hyperbolas.

"it's inevitable" has never struck me as a compelling argument for AI. never seen a genuinely useful technology ushered in with the enthusiasm of a tired mom coming to terms with the fact that her kids are going to pick up foot fungus at a community pool.
