me after attending a protest

Last year, we wrote about survivor Taylor Cadle. When she was 12, she told police she’d been raped. They said she was lying and charged her with false reporting. She then took the extraordinary measure of recording the next act of abuse. Now, Taylor has legal counsel and filed a lawsuit.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Basically all manufacturers and retailers should be obligated to either collect their waste and broken products, or pay for others to deal with them. You’d see an amazing display of innovation in efficient, repairable and recyclable products and packaging.

America is imperfect, but foreign leaders did not use to assume that the President's family was a key means of leveraging their shared interest in corruption.

Everyone I know feels the same. When this fascist flaming dog shit phase ends, as they all do, I wish them a very Happy Season Of Finding Out, Read Some History Books. (their ending will leave you hanging!)

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

"Nothing prettier than a deceased leaf hanging from a tree in its final few moments on earth. It makes me want to wrap an oversized scarf around my neck and take a walk through the carnage."

tell me more about republicans being the pro-business party. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

I’ve said it before, will doubtless say it again: These folks are going to be permanently resentful because they’re seeking political power as a substitute for cultural power, and it’s never going to give them what they actually want.

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

For anyone who might need reminding

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

The inflatable is also an aesthetic inverse of the body armor cops are now routinely swaddled in, and their masks. A frog costume hides identity with comic rather than sinister signals. It protects vulnerable areas of the body by misdirection (where IS the frog's throat??), not accentuation.

It absolutely ruins their little individual cosplay fantasy too. These guys signed up for a toxic masculinity field trip. They thought they were coming to “fuck antifa” not get twerked at by a halloween parade.

This Is Fascism

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Save this graph for the next time @MarshaBlackburn @SpeakerJohnson @JDVance try to hold $50 Billion for rural hospitals out as a of win for the 🇺🇸 people We’re bad at math but $1.1 TRILLION in cuts (for tax cuts for the rich) > $50 BILLION They think we are all morons

At what point will our media ask about Trump’s obvious mental decline? He’s so far gone that he does not remember he was president in January 6, 2021

I've been saying Depression for a while. You can't carve this many people from (stable!) federal jobs, not have jobs open in the private sector to absorb them (or anyone else), and have the price of *everything* continuously rise. Something's going to break.

These cuts will almost certainly lead to more suicides and school and mass shootings in America. And remember: after every major mass shooting, Republicans emphasize that “mental health” is the solution and that regulating guns is a nonstarter www.npr.org/sections/sho...

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/h...

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster. The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

This Day in Labor History: October 11, 1979. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fined the chemical company American Cyanamid $10,000 for coercing women workers into sterilization if they wanted to work in jobs where they would be exposed to lead and chemicals!!!!!

there was no ian dunt's even more embarrassing kid brother writing weird, pseudointellectual, childlike scrawl on a white board back in the tough old days. before the konami code for women was discovered you just had to talk to them as if they were normal people and hope for the best

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too. Sincerely, An Epidemiologist Who Told You Trump Would Get COVID Booster.

via @youranonnews.bsky.social CHICAGO: Trump's lawless goons (ICE) make a U-turn and smash into a woman's car, then proceed to arrest her by dragging her out of the vehicle.

all at once? won’t that make him autistic

OH. MY. GOD. 🫠

First week back at work: can I stay awake until 9pm on a Friday night?

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers. But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

I feel like these guys never got to the part of literally any color revolution or scifi movie or famous Super Bowl commercial where the regime's symbolic omnipresence just creates endless potential sparks of revolution.

Military families are having to go to food banks to get food for their kids during the Trump shut down and Trump is selling gold watches on his social media site and selling American soil to the Qatari Air Force. Democrats are trying to save your health insurance.

As a group, District Judges (from across the ideological spectrum!) performing as well as just about anyone right now in defending democratic liberty.

This is not a border crossing. There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior. This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child. Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

I do still really love watching Chris Boucher. One of the most underrated players.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Authoritarian systems tend towards corruption because they a) attract people disinterested in maintaining public goods, and b) systematically remove guardrails and accountability to enable private capture of those goods

Watching the Raptors-Celtics preseason game. Seeing Chris Boucher absolutely delighted to see his former teammates during the warmup just made my night.

Speaker Mike Johnson, standing next to Emmer here, urged Democrats less than a month ago to "turn down their rhetoric," saying, "Nazis and fascists is not helpful." As such, striking to see him stand quietly as a fellow Republican insists there is a "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.
