Tilly and I went to the Manette waterfront for our walk this morning.

On top of everything going on--- I still have a Resistance School to run! My classes for Race, Media and International Affairs 101 begin Monday, October 6th! We are expanding the class size (but not by much!) So you still have a chance to enroll! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

The GOP owns this mess.

So, it has started. russia has been intensively targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure again. From the latest: after today’s attack, 177 settlements were left without power in Chernihiv Oblast (north).

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

Here’s a fantastic wide-ranging interview/discussion with Karen Atiah. It’s reminding me to color outside the lines y’all. open.substack.com/pub/genxyio/...

Tilly and Calvadore. Frenemies on the couch

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

"I've not heard of anything this egregious — a donor calling up and saying I need help and getting it while others may be getting denied assistance or otherwise waiting in line for help that may or may not come."

Li’l Mikey is hip-deep in the Trump cover-up of the Epstein files.

A political party that controls all 3 branches of government is blaming a looming federal shutdown on a party that doesn't control any branches of government.

The silver lining, if there is one to be found, is that there will probably be a non-trivial number of people who have just now discovered -- via the unavailability of Kimmel in their market -- that their local news is run by far-right-wing ideologues. Time to dust this segment off.

The defense against political violence is for Trump and those in his regime to stop stoking political outrage, to implement sensible gun control, and to prevent ICE from terrorizing our neighborhoods and our neighbors with excessive force and unrestrained violence.

Worth the watch!

The rapture was a bust, but the crapture goes on.

It's the guns

is this bad

Psst, are they still here?

Till is getting in her last high quality basking before the autumn rains set in.

If I have to be subject to rapture posts today… m.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCd...

Trump is not a king; he’s a virus.

Maybe when we allowed the tax rate to be cut for billionaires over and over and over again, we gave them the idea that they could opt out of the social contract. And maybe that’s why, when push comes to shove, they feel entitled to be utter assholes and do so with impunity.

A 42-year-old man being held at the Nassau County Jail on Long Island as an ICE detainee was found dead in his cell early Thursday morning. Sources say the man — who has not yet been publicly identified — was discovered unresponsive and not breathing about 18 hours after arriving at the jail.

Tilly and I are back from our Saturday rounds of snacks & parks. The highlight is always our final stop at #CafeCorvo for a pup cup and a visit just inside the cafe for additional snacks. We did our tour of the ally, too. That never seems to lose its appeal. Now’s she’s snuggled in with her pillow.

I want to clarify why so many are focusing rage on the Democrats who voted to honor Charlie Kirk for those who keep asking why. They applied for the job of representing our political interests in Congress. We them; we gave them that job that they campaigned for. /1

I deleted a post about RFK’s ACIP and its guidance on the MMR vaccine from 2 days ago, because the facts are more nuanced than my post implied. I still maintain that RFK is unqualified for the position he holds. But facts matter, especially facts that tell complex stories. So I deleted that post.

This is the thing you should read today.

“Nonprofits need to know that this happening,” Vazquez said. “And they need to understand how these ICE actions—even if framed as ‘welfare checks’—can deeply traumatize immigrant families and undermine community cohesion.”

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Question for my #PSL basics. To celebrate the advent of autumn, have you ever added a good cinnamon-forward horchata to your coffee? Hot or iced, whatever floats your boat. It’s so, so good.

for people who love to keep a coal plant running against its will they sure hate canaries

The updated “7,000 Words You Can Never Say On Television” monologue takes four hours w/ an intermission.

I know late night tv is on life support now. But I can’t help but thinking that the coup de grace will come after Trump gets Myers and Fallon axed, when we have “Up with Trump” and the Kid Rock Orchestra, then late night tv will be no more.

If you are a centrist democrat, your job is to vigorously oppose fascist authoritarianism, not to explain to those who are already in the opposition that they’re doing it wrong. You will have to align with opposition groups further left than you have historically been. You’ll be ok. Just do it.

A new study led by @clairbarnes.bsky.social shows that human-caused global warming tripled heat wave deaths in European cities this summer to 24,400. These 16,500 people would still be alive if we weren't burning fossil fuels like there's no tomorrow.

I just misread the phrase “actual apocalypse” as “ casual apocalypse” and now feel that I’ve stumbled upon the current zeitgeist.

I just made some very tasty horchata, and yes, I’ve just put horchata in my coffee and it is delicious!

Absolutely true. No notes.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

just made a note to myself that say: “get kid covid shots before illegal” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Oop, there it is!

Getting tired of talking heads getting all hot when they say thirty-aught six. Take it easy there, McCloud.
