My friend Andrew Lih @fuzheado.bsky.social is a freakin hero. A gunman came into his Wikipedia event, and he grabbed and disarmed him. Thanks to him and another brave volunteer, no one was hurt—not even the gunman. Now let’s ask why we accept a society where this can happen at any large gathering.

The Seattle Police Department is developing new guidance for responding to calls about people being detained by federal agencies or troops on the streets of Seattle.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has announced he is commuting disgraced former New York Representative George Santos' prison sentence. Back in 2023, we tried to call the top donors in Santos' campaign. Turned out, many didn't seem to exist.

Loose lips sink ships

Social media platforms, collaborative online tools, and encrypted messaging are all helping to power a massive, decentralized resistance to the Trump administration.

⚠️ HEADS UP MAGA trolls will be incoming. The White House and DHS both just announced on X that they’ve joined Bluesky. These are their accounts:

It’s #VetTechAppreciationWeek & when we say our vet techs do it all, we are NOT kidding! 💪 From drawing blood & monitoring anesthesia to cleaning wounds, giving vaccines, calming nervous pets & so much more (honestly, too much to list)! 🧵

BREAKING: We're suing to block the unlawful National Guard deployment in Memphis. President Trump’s militarization of our cities puts the American people at risk and threatens our democracy. So we're going to court to stop it.

In May 1975, Evel Knievel visited London and rode a Raleigh Stowaway. He also broke his pelvis trying to jump his motorcycle over 13 buses at Wembley Stadium in front of 90,000 people. But let's focus on what's important. #BicycleBirthday Evel Knievel October 17 (1938-2007)

So I’m following at least three journalists/activists on social media that appeared to be in the midst of a mental health crisis. I’ll be honest, I’ve had my own moments over the last few weeks. The news cycle right now is unprecedented and brutal. Please take care of yourselves.

so we're all agreed that the Buckingham Palace press people have an advance copy of Virginia Giuffre's book and it is going to be worse than the worst things we have previously imagined, right

The Guardian has published Virginia Giuffre's own words. She "remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy and powerful men – and how everyone knew what was going on." #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles 🧾 is.gd/Mx5zox

Do me right; or I will protest your cowardice.

ultimately, zohran mamdani is a reminder that politicians can be younger than 80 years old

The photo choice is *chef’s kiss*

By all means, go protest this weekend. But BE SAFE, listen to experienced organizers, DON'T RSVP, WEAR A MASK, and turn biometrics off on your phone if you must bring it. And if you're arrested protesting in IL, I will represent as many people as I can pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

Baek Se-hee, author of I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI has died at age 35. Her memoir documented her chronic depression and suicidal ideation for millions in Korea and beyond and sparked necessary conversation about the often taboo subject of mental health. May she rest in peace.

👀 Starting Oct. 20, the judiciary "will no longer have funding to sustain full, paid operations. Until the ongoing lapse in government funding is resolved, federal courts will maintain limited operations necessary to perform the Judiciary’s constitutional functions" www.uscourts.gov/data-news/ju...

They're going to make a nonagenarian Holocaust survivor into the symbol of the entire anti-Trump popular movement in the US, as a way of dismissing the possibility of a genuine organic mass movement arising. This is a moment when we really could use an actual anti-antisemitism watchdog group.

Seattle’s current mayor days ago said he wants large screens downtown with an AI Martin Luther King Jr. “Well, Dr. Martin Luther King, I've always wanted to meet you. What was your day like today? What did you have for breakfast?” — Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell

Ghostbusters is actually an anti-Trump movie, it's about three Columbia professors fired for their beliefs.

imagine a Haitian immigrant talking to a LEO like this.

And then he got milkshake ducked as a crowdfunding grifter within 24 hours. Life comes at you fast I know, but some of us are used to it

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.
