Gaaahh man … Portland really is weird — in an amazingly strange way

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

Oh I love software strategy.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home. Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home. If you’re able, please help us support our neighbors: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

John Oliver sounded the alarm this week on how secret donations to presidential libraries provide cover for bribery. We couldn’t agree more. It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help. Read this story and much more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.

I now realize that for my entire adult life, I've had a very narrow conception of what "supporting and defending the Constitution" means. Standing on business when armed agents of the State are knocking on your door is way more important, by a country mile, than anything I did overseas

Never come for Derek

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians. It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C. But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

The corporate myth is that embracing AI will get you results that are cheap, fast and good with fewer employees. The reality is a lot of companies will find out they got things done for a lot cheaper and a lot faster but if definitely wasn’t good.

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th” 👉👉 nokings.org

Yikes? Reporters: I hope you are digging into this hard. I can imagine this meaning they are trying to rebuild trust among Republicans (which would be great!). I can also imagine much more worrisome possibilities.

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

He was clearly having a serious emergency, regardless of the cause. They aren't allowed to decide whether someone "deserves" medical treatment just because they don't personally care about users.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition… We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

and there are others who have allegedly committed casual fraud when it comes to second homes and mortgages. Some members of the felon's cabinet? I hope they will also be prosecuted. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

🐀 Mike Johnson caught lying using the receipts he directed us to use. Jen Psaki for the 🎯

The right-wing consolidation of corporate media continues.

This Is Fascism

Eswatini got $5.1 million of our tax dollars to accept up to 160 migrants in ICE custody. Only 15 have arrived so far.

I love this image.

Or swear in a new member of Congress who was elected two weeks ago

Oh www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

I found this map showing which states used Dominion Voting Machines in the 2024 race. With an election denier as the new owner of Dominion which is now Liberty vote, I definitely would advise all states to get out of their contract with them & find a new one.

Portland is doing well making clear the ridiculousness of the military takeover.

Woooooow

Meanwhile in #Portland

An expert on anti-fascist groups who teaches at Rutgers University says he is fleeing with his family to Spain after death threats

fucking WOOF

When people warn about the privacy and security risks of mandating digital age verification, this is exactly what they mean. It’s not hypothetical www.bbc.com/news/article...

I wrote about the Elizabeth Holmes of the media lyz.substack.com/p/let-the-al...

In an intellectually honest world, all the people and pundits lauding Kirk would apologize for being wrong. They would say, “I’m sorry for falling for bad faith arguments. I believed them without listening to others. I was a rube.” But we don’t live in an intellectually honest world.

Kevin, please write about this: www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

the "doing politics the right way" continues
