Tell you what, MAGAs: go to work today, stick your finger in a female colleague's face and tell her "quiet, quiet piggy." Oh, what? You'd never do that because you'd be fired immediately? 1/

The current administration is filled with evangelical true believers. Project 2025 is explicitly aiming to force Christian Nationalism on all Americans. 1/

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Trump and Epstein r*ped young girls the right way. By Ezra Klein (with apologies to @nytpitchbot.bsky.social)

"The law has in-groups that it protects but does not bind, and out-groups that the law binds but does not protect" demonstrated daily in Worcester. @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social exc. interview w/@billshaner.bsky.social. Episode 45: The 'From Here' Contingent www.worcestersucks.email/p/episode-45...

Also @massago.bsky.social really oughta be looking into this...the (alleged) crime and the odious coverup.

"Cruelty dressed up as patriotism" sums up MAGA philosophy succinctly. Scott Monty on the power of grace: www.linkedin.com/pulse/streng...

Gonna have to "borrow" this one when the opportunity presents itself

@suemailman.bsky.social is a Real One. Thank you for all you do to try and pull this lumbering city forward despite the crank obstacles (crankstacles, @billshaner.bsky.social?). Worcester needs a lot more folks like Sue, and a lot fewer like the D5 councilor-elect and Money Moe. Let's get to it.

No matter the election results in Worcester, the pedophile cover-up perpetrated by city "leaders" to protect one of their own in-group members is going to blow up. Soon. The cover-up is always worse than the crime. In this instance, both are horrific. Read @thisweekinwoo.bsky.social story:

The work @billshaner.bsky.social and @thisweekinwoo.bsky.social to shine a light on a horrific crime and even more disgusting cover-up is invaluable. Regardless of the election outcome, 2026 is going to see some long-overdue hoisting of crank petards in Worcester.

When does an actual journalist call out this fraud's daily lie-athon? He's so full of shit it stinks from here. Our failed corporate media refuses to question anything from this phony Christian fascist.

WORCESTER: Don’t vote for Maureen Binienda for school committee! As superintendent, she covered up for this monster. Grotesque that our current mayor just endorsed her anyway.

I'm gonna be a MAGAt for Halloween and take all the candy from the poor kids, give it to the rich kids, and then tell the poor kids to blame the Dems

"Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy and the animating force in Republican politics. In short, we are awash in bullshit." open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Using SNAP benefits as a cudgel, threatening the food security of 42 million people—including CHILDREN—in a bad-faith political pissing contest over how much to fuck over poor people more generally is morally indefensible on its face.

Because the CoC and old guard that still runs Worcester behind the scenes is terrified that voters might check to see which councilors favor a CRB and which...don't. And maybe fearing turnout climbing over 20% and knocking off one of those old guard councilors too. Shadier than an old oak tree.

FACT:

Vote for HYDRANYM No. 21!!! it's the word game for @flaminghydra.com subscribers flaminghydra.com/hydranym-no-...

If MAGA is so certain that George Soros is paying all of the #NoKings protestors, why did the MAGA majority in Congress give him such a huge tax cut via the One Big Beautiful Welfare Bill for Billionaires?

“Is it that simple? That cruelty comes from either too much or too little love?” -Karl Ove Knausgaard, “Spring” (Yes, I believe it is that simple).

This is an exceptional post from @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social. Yes, his murder was gross. That doesn't change the hateful and dishonest garbage he fed to his followers nor the pain those statements caused to the already vulnerable and marginalized.

In other words, Pope Leo reaffirmed what Jesus actually preached vs American evangelical horseshit

Christ now he’s definitely gonna invade Canada

You need to read "Purity Tests" by @sirosenbaum.bsky.social for @flaminghydra.com. Brilliant writing and analysis, and quite entertaining on a sensitive (trans kids) subject: flaminghydra.com/issue-418/#p...

My old man died 10 years ago Tuesday and it's still so weird that he's gone

Bingo. Acting Presidents Miller, Vought, and Vance let Trump sign shit and ramble incoherently for the cameras. Behind the scenes, these three are systematically dismantling Constitutional governance.

Holy fuck is the lede buried here... MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE BEING HARMED BY THESE MALICIOUS PSYCHOPATHS GLEEFULLY KILLING JOBS AND SOCIAL SAFETY NETS. Arguing over Russ Vought's emotional state is irrelevant. What is relevant is that a Christian Nationalist is enacting *his* extremist agenda.

The same government that's cutting children's cancer research, canceling lifesaving USAID, and cutting Medicaid is bailing out an American hedge fund investor via $20 billion for Argentina. If you support this, you are complicit in this gross corruption. popular.info/p/update-hed...

Worcester’s new public toilets are a bit uh lacking

Truth:

I’ve been fostering this adorable pup for two weeks and she hasn’t had a single inquiry yet! Precious (her shelter name) is 4 years old, very sweet and friendly, great in the house, loves every dog and person she’s met…she is a GEM. Check out thehotelforhomelessdogs.com for more!

Got @lukeoneil47.bsky.social new book in the mail today and stoked to read it this fall. If you haven’t read ‘A Creature Wanting Form’ or the Hell World books or Hell World newsletter, you’re missing out on an essential voice of our time.

They're in full grievance mode every day. It's the target that shifts. Bad Bunny is one of the biggest music stars in the world. YOU may not be familiar w/his music...just as huge swaths of viewers had never heard of Tom Petty or The Who or any other classic rocker that performed over the years.

Emphasis on little

This Canine.AI. The prototype is a 4-year-old foster that barely knows her name but it has “AI” in the caption so VCs, please give me $2 million for “development” thank you.

OMG, this afternoon's ANTIFA Board of Directors meeting went on and on. I thought Jesus would *never* stop talking!

The central essence, right here:

Foster pup Gracie has formally endorsed @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social for D5 city councilor. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is a brilliant (and very funny) piece of satire from @benehrenreich.bsky.social in the must-read @flaminghydra.com:

Tylenol is to autism as Flintstones vitamins are to paleontology.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

1/ "Taking away this tool that allows us to see one another as fellow citizens, fellow Americans, it's a really powerful advantage." Katherine Maher on Colbert's show, dropping truth about Public Media. The rescission package + defunding of the CPB wasn't about ideological differences.

I'm sure it's pure irony that the hardcore 2nd Amendment folks are so anti-1st Amendment. Wonder why that could be...

There’s a Buddhist temple about half a mile from my house, and I often spend a few minutes in the Zen garden in back (open to the public daily). It’s so peaceful. Quiet contemplation, stillness, breathing. Amidst the chaos of the world, a respite.

Every word of this, via @erininthemorning.com:

“Violence has no place in America” except front and center every single fucking day

If it had been Rachel Maddow, the gleeful celebrations from the MAGAverse would be deafening. GTFOOH.
