Billionaire corporations are already seeing the money roll in from the giant tax giveaways Donald Trump and the Republicans stuffed into their Big, Beautiful Bill. What about working Americans? They're losing their health care, and their costs just keep going up. It's shameful.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

We’re eight days away from No Kings Day, and we have 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world. October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — and we want to see you there. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create. So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet. Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile? My essay, in @bloomberg.com (gift link below)

Win or lose, sink or swim One thing is certain, we'll never give in Side by side, hand in hand We all stand together! Play the game, fight the fight But what's the point on a beautiful night? Arm in arm, hand in hand We all stand together! youtu.be/gVfaf43W9cM?... Good idea @sellybeth.bsky.social!

D'you reckon these protestors know that there's a song called We All Stand Together sung by a bunch of cartoon frogs? Seems like that would be an incredibly apt theme song for them. youtu.be/gVfaf43W9cM?...

Kids shouldn't have to act like heroes. Adults should have the courage to face accountability and the courage to build safer streets. Glad the girl is alright. Hope they find the driver that fled the scene. www.kctv5.com/2025/10/08/i...

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

Psst. Yeah, you. The best time to introduce palliative care to a patient with a progressive condition was long ago when they were stable. The second best time is now.

I'm not a quoter of scripture, but this seemed appropriate for the horror that has been unleashed because of the gutting of USAID. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me.” -Jesus

I've been working on a book proposal and alternating between "this is meaningful" and "this is pointless," and a friend recently shared this quote that she stumble on in a Goodreads review: "Every book is a grand gesture of optimism on the part of both the reader and writer." Keep creating, friends.

Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much better now, he thought to himself.

Get ready for #HCWvsHunger 2025 because no one should have to go hungry.

Great win starting with the kids and closing with your starters. Kansas City Current just a joy to watch. #KCbaby

They call it ACL cause my knees is hurting

From the comments - "It's not your fault the world is the way it is, it would just be your fault if it stays that way"

Jane Goodall being a true Mage archetype and telling people to launch billionaires into space as her final words. You don’t get much more mythic then that Dr. Goodall www.reddit.com/r/interestin...

Met lots of Democratic voters at the door today and there was a lot of energy to make sure we don’t bring the chaos and extremism of the national GOP down to this local level.

Caught Royel Otis and bby at the Uptown Theater in KC tonight. Good stuff!! #kcmusic

Major victory in Kansas for transgender people. The Kansas Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling on gender markers on drivers license. ACLU Kansas says trans people can get their licenses updated starting Tuesday. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups. Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat. www.linkedin.com/posts/benjam...

A good political message for Dems is that Republicans say they are unwilling to hold Trump/Vought accountable, so elect someone who is.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

While I didn't love OBAA like so many on here, I didn't hate it and treated it as a comedy instead of the satire it thinks it is. Brooke Obie puts into words the things that bothered me about it. blackgirlwatching.substack.com/p/one-battle...

Seeing all the hype for OBAA especially in IMAX well it gave me FOMO so I saw it tonight. I thought it was good but not great. Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor and BDT were fabulous. Leo’s scenes mid movie felt too indulgent. Room for trimming the run time there. Opening and ending were edge of seat.

Let’s go #Padres!!!

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

tonight my mother in law called my son (3.5) Big Charlie Potatoes. he laughed for a full minute and then, deadly serious, asked "why did you say that??"

Roger here is up for reelection in 2026, if Kansas Republicans gerrymander out Sharice Davids she’s likely running against him, Kansas grows soybeans, and you can smell the fear. Do I think we’re going to win KS-SEN? Probably not. But “probably not” is a lot closer than Roger would prefer.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

it happened again: took care of a dreaded task i’d miserably put off for months, & it took five minutes to complete. it was easy! no trouble at all! once again i will learn nothing from this experience
