Many thanks to Steve Hackett @stevehacketthq.bsky.social for a fantastic show in Seattle tonight!

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

His kids won't be able to get antibiotics because RFK Jr. is pushing the public health agencies to adopt miasma theory over germ theory.

I love the smell of onions and mustard in the morning.

We the people need to make Congress do its job: www.youtube.com/shorts/rdZTC...

The Constitution gave Congress the power to hold presidents accountable. They’ve given it away. Tell your representatives to show courage, stand up to corruption, and do their job. Sign the petition NOW: represent.us/courage4social

If I were ever elected president, I'd turn the ballroom into the home of the new department of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Pro tip: Do NOT connect your appliances to the internet.

Congress needs to live up to its duty as the US Constitution requires. This is a new effort to make Congress do its job. Sign up at the link below to learn more. act.represent.us/sign/ccc-lau...

Congratulations to the Aces. A championship won well. For Seattle Storm fans, we can dream of what might be different had we sunk that last shot at the buzzer!

Thread and long article. Very worthwhile!

This is an intriguing idea. A national emergency, declared by blue states, justifying a blue state compact that is the foundation for a renewed US Constitution: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This quote from Judge Immergut's (a Trump appointee) ruling says it all: "The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Goddam @nytimes.com headline writers! It's not "politics" that threatens these projects. It's the naked abuse of the power of the purse by a small-minded, vindictive president. Stop the sanewashing while you still have a newspaper to publish in! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/n...

Thank you Judge Young for today’s word of the day. It applies to many of today’s Trump admin news.

The "leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. They now understand how Trump intends to use their forces. He told them, explicitly. He wants to deploy them to American cities where they will be used to 'quell' disfavored groups." @jvl.bsky.social on Trump's speech to the generals.

Today's speech by Donald Trump was not among the most dangerous ever given by a US public official. It was the most dangerous. And it's not even close.

Trump just called us "the enemy within" Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

"You are not allowed to criticize the president’s associates. You do not even retain the right to remain silent; you must make public expressions of emotions demanded by the administration and its allies or incur its disfavor" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I grew up in a country devastated by political violence, and decades later, the scars are still there. Nobody should want or support that for the US. Part of the point of genuine democracy, rule of law, etc, is to resolve differences peacefully and fairly.

Super global football insider content, but really good: www.sounderatheart.com/2025/09/apol...

By FAR the most corrupt administration in American history. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

Voting should be easier than buying guns.

Don't forget, the Emperor is also a pedophile.

Really good!

I am renting a VW Atlas this week and am puzzling over this design choice. I am not an airplane pilot, but if I were I think this display would cause me panic!

Democracy vouchers are changing campaign finance in Seattle. From @amysundberg.bsky.social with @boltsmag.org, the push for equity approved by voters: trib.al/08Ind9I

Our friends at @boltsmag.org ran this great recap of Seattle's democracy voucher program, which gives residents $100 to donate to candidates of their choice. We are proud to republish the story today. prospect.org/politics/202...

NEW in Bolts: Seattle voters decided this week to renew their "democracy vouchers," which is a unique program that hands residents $100 in vouchers to donate to local candidates of their choice. The program will continue for another 10 years. Bolts explains! boltsmag.org/seattle-demo...

One good win for democracy!

This is going to be treated more harshly than Loretta Lynch's visit to Clinton's plane, right? RIGHT?

Excellent thread!

I am one of the world's biggest fans of the Apollo project and manned space travel. We should reinstate SNAP and Medicaid instead of doing this.

It is not often that the real world is funnier than @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

No! We want everything that a regular deposition has: Full video, court stenographer, and full written transcript.

Thread. Go Storm!

Little Marco keeps shrinking. Now Tiny Marco.

Hi. Hey. Mike here. When media companies cancel Late Night shows to appease fascist presidents, America fucking ends.

Ya, sure, ya betcha!

Republicans can’t make up their minds. On the one hand it’s, “Let them eat cake!” And on the other hand, “Don’t eat cake!”

"I would bet an immigration policy that we’re really proud of is one we could also show our faces for. Is that too much to ask? Also, how about we leave the food ladies of America alone." www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Trump's first Five Year Plan. It worked so well for Stalin.
