UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

"The effect of such violence extends beyond its immediate targets, affecting the community at large and interfering with everyday life. But Americans are mobilizing to protect their neighbors and communities." Some awful news, and some hopeful news: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-moral-...

Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Carl Schmitt, the German legal theorist tapped by the Nazi's to justify Germany's slip from democracy to dictatorship. Those theories have been a roadmap for the billionaire ever since.

let the gourd times roll

I’m tired of saving Trump voters from the consequences of their own decisions. If farmers want a bailout, they should call their republican congressmembers and ask them to use their article 1 powers to get rid of the tariffs.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

“The measure, reviewed by Kyiv Post, was submitted by Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) and co-sponsored by Congressmen Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Mike Quigley (D-IL), and was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.” - Alex Raufoglu @ralexdc.bsky.social

today i learned dorothy thompson was dragging trumpy tradwives in 19-hundred-and-fucking-41 in Harper's, the same magazine which would 79 years later publish a letter decrying precisely this kind of drag as illiberal cancel culture

Take the good news seriously too

⚡️ Update: Power restored to all facilities at Chornobyl nuclear plant, Energy Ministry says. The ministry added that radiation levels at the site remain within normal limits and pose no threat to the population.

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people." Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

This is a wild story of how Ukrainian drone program has taken out 1/5th of Russia’s refining power and otherwise so hurt oil/gas industry that there are pretty severe shortages for Russian civilians

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

It's because it is not controlled by "immoral capitalism." We need to majorly change the settings on our capitalism. Starting with not requiring corporations to maximize short term profits. It's just such a painfully obviously stupid and self-destructive way of organizing our economic systems.

"Would you say the US is in a political crisis?" Yes: 79% No: 18% Quinnipiac / Sept 21, 2025

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

They're literal toy soldiers, little green army men. I don't know which is worse: if he was intentionally doubling down on the calculated insult of this whole show, or if it genuinely didn't occur to him why "ha ha I get to play with my toy soldiers" isn't an ideal sartorial message in this context.

Russia is reportedly assembling sabotage-and-reconnaissance units to infiltrate Poland, with infrastructure as likely target Poland is a crucial Ukrainian ally, providing aid through logistics hubs. Any disruption could weaken Kyiv euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/30/r... 📸 Russian MoD

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

JFC... he won’t accept—apparently *can’t* accept—that it’s 2025, not 1995. Democratic leaders are making the rest of us feel crazy by denying everything we’ve learned about America and the Republican Party in the last decade. Trump killed 400,000+ people during the pandemic and MAGAs *didn’t care*.

If I am not mistaken the refinery in Yaroslavl hasn't been hit before. This should have an impact on the market prices of fuel, and eventually on real supply too.

Wednesday is COMING

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

Defenders of Ukraine stand in an unbroken line from the Cossacks to the Insurgent Army to today’s soldiers. Across centuries, Ukrainians have risen against empires and invaders. That same spirit of sacrifice and defiance shields the nation in today’s war. Thank you, Defenders of Ukraine!

Reminiscent of the old stories from the USSR about you could always tell who was kissing the ass of the secret police and dutifully reporting on their neighbors because they didn't get their homes and businesses raided when everyone else did.

This is the THIRD Trump Shutdown to which Trump and the Republicans have subjected Americans. Previous Trump Shutdown episodes began in January 2018 and December 2018. Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress each time.

Do all y'all remember this - the last Trump shutdown that lasted 35 days....all because he wanted $5B for his border wall? And he didn't get it because things got sticky? And this 2025 shutdown is from: Rich men wanting to loot the government dry and steal our money Epstein files. Good times!

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy. Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

He’s blocking her because she would be the final vote necessary to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. He’s doing this to protect pedophiles. Release his Grindr profile!

Chicago & Portland are exposing Trump's desperation & contempt for the Constitution. They're preparing lawsuits, urging residents to document abuses, & standing with immigrants under siege. Gov Pritzker calls his masked raids an “authoritarian attack on Americans”. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

His vow to 'crush every threat to our freedom' with the help of people in the room is a despot's fever dream. It's clear he means that domestic opposition to his agenda is a threat to freedom, which is completely backward: repressing dissent is the single greatest danger to the republic today.
