Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

Our democracy is badly broken when a president can illegally suspend projects for Blue states in order to punish his political enemies. They continue to break the law, and expect us to go along. Hell no.

There’s a growing number of Americans who think violence might be necessary to get the country back on track Nearly 30% of Americans say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Aww man, Smoot died. One of my dad's small points of pride that he handed a very special bottle of photoresist under the table as "test sample" to a pair of researchers who were never gonna order industrial quantities, but was enough to make COBE's detectors. news.berkeley.edu/2025/09/29/n...?

ICE Is Buying a Tool to Track Hundreds of Millions of Phones, Without Warrants Trump is quietly building a surveillance state, and almost no one is paying attention.

Look what I found sitting on a park bench in Zagreb @leaypi.bsky.social ! A lot of people traveling through Zagreb spend time there waiting for their next bus or train. Somebody left it for the next traveler 🥰

The Trump administration is yanking green energy and infrastructure funding away from blue states on day one of the Republican-led government shutdown. newrepublic.com/post/201223/...

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

I can honestly say I have never seen a severely injured or sick person in the ER and said "wait, that person might be an immigrant, how dare the hospital help them" because I am not a couch-fucking psychopath screaming for the empty approval of racist chuds.

I really like the phrase "Kavanaugh stop." It's not a Terry stop, because a Terry stop is short and based on reasonable suspicion of a crime. A Kavanaugh stop, by contrast, is when masked goons kidnap a person for speaking Spanish.

“Democratic lawmakers are seeking audio and video evidence from the closed FBI case and have also raised questions about Homan’s financial ties to The Geo Group, a private prison firm he previously consulted for that has won lucrative contracts in recent months.”

When Trump threatens to nix funding to NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins, it only helps Zohran. It inflates the Trump threat, positions Zohran as a fighter for NYC against Trump, and pushes Cuomo into the role of Trump stooge. There's a lesson here for Dems. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2011...

File under "Fuck, I Wish I Thought of That!"

The Speaker of the House flailed across television as reporters fact-checked his claim that Democrats shut down the government to lavish undocumented immigrants with free health care. In reality, those immigrants are ineligible for tax credits, Medicaid, and Medicare. trib.al/jn6rb4g

Never worry about who will be offended if you speak the truth. Worry about who will be misled, deceived, & destroyed if you don’t.

If they claim they haven't heard the quote, play it for them and ask for a response. If they claim it's being taken out of context, play a longer version and ask for a response. If they try to sidestep the issue, play it over again and ask for a response.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

The generative AI hype reminds me so much of the multimedia hype in the early 1990s. Tech industry was marketing full motion video as The Future™ for everything. Yet we still don’t put videos into our text documents for some reason. youtu.be/biSKWzs7bWs?...

Trump said he could fire any general on the spot. How about firing this tyrant on the spot. Today. There are Republican politicians who have decided to say “screw you” to their voters and constituents, and opted to ride the coattails of a Hitler wannabe who is hellbent in destroying our democracy.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.
