Start your weekend off right by watching a hillbilly make a swirly cake

You would think the Nobel Peace Prize was made out of 13 year-old girls the way Trump wants one so bad.

We’re trying to Imagine the reaction from Tennessee Republicans if New York deployed the National guard into Tennessee without @GovBillLee’s approval to to enforce a policy Tennesseans were overwhelmingly against

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

POSTED 1000'S OF THESE AROUND THE CAPITOL NO PARK POLICE TO TEAR THEM DOWN.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

In speeches, Vought spoke of “demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs.” “.. we want them to not want to go .. because they are.. viewed as the villains,” he said. “We want to put them in trauma.” from 2024: @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/vide...

New in PN: Lessons from a Red Scare "As Emma Goldman hoped, and Louis Post later demonstrated, the American people are capable of turning the tide against repression — even if that effort feels hopeless in the moment."

I have lived in the same little town for the last eight years. I’ve consistently paid $80-$90 a month for water. I’m not on city sewer. In April, it jumped to $180. I called a plumber because I had thought I had a leak — nope. It just went up by $100 for everybody in town. The Trump effect?

Mike Johnson AGREES that Trump is “unhinged” This won’t go well at Mar-a-Lago

All religious minorities that have aligned with Trump are in trouble, but they may not know it, because he blames the wrong people for the violence threatening them. www.editorialboard.com/how-trump-im...

Hey Republicans. This is on you. As a reminder, you have the power to impeach and remove www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

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"

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

The MSM will go down in history as one of the great contributors to this national disaster. They featured trump relentlessly because he brought them ratings. They "both sides" argued each of his heinous acts. Now they utterly ignore his lunacy. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-isnt-t...

Mike Johnson is a self-righteous, sniveling little rat, who lies and manipulates to tear down the institutions that keep democracy alive - all while claiming to follow Christ.

An illuminating Report from inside the war zone

I agree! So assert your rights as a citizen of a functioning democracy. Engage. Participate. Speak up. Vote. Donate. Volunteer. And stop huddling behind a keyboard and mythologizing a failed real estate developer as Mussolini, Hitler, or Pol Pot. People who believe in democracy are the majority.

Just putting this out there to show what an attempt at reasonable conversation devolves to if you want to interact about Palestine.

Which streaming service should we boycott next and may I suggest Amazon

Jon would like a second opinion

Party favors.

I’ve been leaving this all over but, here we go again. Don’t hate on each other for feeling or not feeling your own valid feelings. Come the fuck on y’all. Pull it together.

There are two types of bathing:

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

Disney employees and staff members on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” began to receive death threats following Carr’s remarks on Wednesday, with their email addresses and phone numbers being doxed and blasted across social media. Oh but I thought only the left did this? Fuck off Disney.

btw journalists are not obligated to tell the white house anything about their sources, to be clear.

The abruptness of Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension—for what many thought was an unexceptional monologue on his late-night show—has sent shock waves throughout Hollywood.

@azmirror.com is this a real incident and what are the details? @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov

Going to send my Disney-Hulu $$ to NPR/PBS.

Federal officers took 11 Democratic officials into custody inside a federal building in Lower Manhattan after the group demanded entry to Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding cells where migrants were being detained.

Find your local stations, then: 1. let them know what think about their role in stifling the 1st amendment; AND 2. contact the local advertisers to let them know you're going to boycott their business as long as they continue to advertise on any Nexstar or Sinclair owned channels.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Reality jolt ⚡️ Meet Caroline, a former TPUSA insider. She saw firsthand how Kirk’s world runs on cruelty, trolling, and blind obedience. It took years to admit the truth. NOTE: recorded in July, before Charlie Kirk’s murder, which makes it hit even harder.

A famous psychopath is loose in your neighborhood. Should you be concerned that he may break into your house, force to you wear a dachshund costume, and call you Claudine? Probably not. You should be concerned he’ll kill you or your family. You protest: but he’s a psycho! He could do anything! /1

On the alarming aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder.

By now, you’ve probably seen these propaganda banners sprouting up on federal buildings. We’ve uncovered how much these banners cost through never-before-seen documents. And why they’re illegal: (Thread 🧵)

They can direct their “cooler heads” rhetoric to their people. Tell them, not me. I don’t want to be brought into their mess. I am not violent and have never been violent, but I have frequently been the target of violent messages. This is not our problem. jesspiper.substack.com/p/dont-bring...
