While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Cleaned my desk drawer today.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

He’s giving me an eye twitch

How soon till the networks cut away

Stop posting 🍊💩🐷's screed making the tragic murder of the Reiners all about himself. Rob and Michele deserve better from all of us. Stop letting 🍊💩🐷 take control of every news story in no way connected to him.

Now that Stanley cups are passé, this will be the next water “bottle” trend.

Now we find the road block they've been working on all these weeks. Wouldn't it be nice if the GOP worked half as hard on a healthcare plan as they do on protecting pedophiles. Congratulations, Rep. Grijalva

How to answer a loaded question. (This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Morning Joe opened with a sound bite - 🍊💩🐷’s take on No Kings. Who cares? Then 5 minutes of college football chatter. A good reminder of why I haven’t watched these court jesters since last national Election Day.

The new CBS News is getting access to newsmakers like never before.

Amazon Fresh won’t let you use iPhone Smart-pay in store. God forbid one billionaire company pay a fee to another billionaire company. #cheapbastard

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Psychopathy is really having its moment.

And to kick off the voting to celebrate (and for a little inspiration), we're doing an Under Cover Weekend - playing cover songs all weekend long. Voting ends 10/30, so start working on your top ten lists to send in.

How many military retirements will this trigger?

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

@govmurphy.bsky.social Can we do this in NJ?

Anybody know what next week’s manufactured crisis will be? I wanna get the right outfit before the rush. #manufacturedoutrage #rightwingdistractions

All those kids from around the world for the Little League World Series are so brave to come to the US with ICE on the hunt for anyone they can kidnap.

Did Hobby Lobby have a sale on sparkly decals?

@taskmaster.tv With every letter opened in Wolf Hall Season 2, I anticipate the reader saying “You’re time starts now.” So much disappointment.

One day Apple will finally fix their timer to not spontaneously revert to Radial when you’ve selected and saved “stop playing”.

Imagine if Madeleine Albright showed up for work in extensions.

I shouldn’t be surprised that so many are auditioning for the role of Himmler.

Wouldn’t it be easier to deport all the people who can’t tolerate non-citizens?

How do I make the Royal Match ads stop? Their relentlessness is why I’ll never download it.

They want you focused on the former President so you aren’t focused on the current President. That sums up the current level of gaslighting in America.

Because he's from Chicago, how soon does the GOP/right wing backlash start? Will it be minutes or hours?

When 🍊💩🐷 refers to our “great Vice President” (May 6 @hcrichardson.bsky.social pod), it’s a tell that he doesn’t know the VP’s name. 🛋️

Good morning. DOGE is fake and not a real agency. Please quit pretending it’s real

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Why call Charlottesville kidnappers “agents”? Agents have warrants, wear labeled gear. Police have a responsibility to arrest 3 random dudes cuffing and kidnapping a person right in their courthouse! Seems like we sane citizens can cuff and disapppear the randos in 🍊💩🐷’s USA. @maddow.msnbc.com

If 🍊💩🐷 isn't elected Pope, he's gonna call it "rigged".

Omg! I love this guy, his costume, and his sign at the 50501 protest in Trenton, New Jersey!

Favourite protest sign of the day - #handsoff #protest #resist

We need to talk more about how to identify psychopaths. Not all psychopaths are murderers but many are in powerful positions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Psy...

“The Aristocrats!”

Today’s market won’t measure the long-term damage Trump has done to the U.S. economy by destroying global trust in America that took generations to build.

So government by retribution is not good capitalism. Who knew?

Glad to have 2 friends join me today a NJ gathering. Huge crowd for a state without a well defined major city. Safe to say people don’t like it when you destroy every aspect of their lives, stability and shared values. #Handsoff @montclairdems.bsky.social

An autocracy needs a large peasant class & a small ruler class. That's it. Sew shirts or sow crops. No need for education or pay--the other choice is to starve. Welcome to the 5th-10th centuries: The Dark Ages. Oh, & they're bringing back the Plague, too. Death is cheaper than healthcare. #Autocracy

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

When the shit goes down everybody meet up at the library. The MAGAs don't know about that place.

The guy who looks down on "shit hole countries" is creating one.

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...
