Four Non Blondie

Emerson Lake & Palmer Crosby Stills Nash & Young

A disturbing update to this story: Despite the fact that he was about to be released from a US prison after completing a sentence here, when Kelvin Membreño was deported to El Salvador he was sent to CECOT prison and remains there. The family has not heard from him since.

Very important to keep this thread going.

That's a big twinkle

Hey @ericswalwell.bsky.social, is it too much to ask that you show up to work and do your damn job?

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

Oh damn, Pantone can paint a room but can’t read one

I have two!

The horrors persist and frankly, good on the horrors. I'm glad something is thriving.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership. All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

he fell victim to one of the classic blunders! the most famous of which is, ‘never answer the phone for isaac chotiner,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘never behave in a manner which causes derek guy to critique your fashion choices’

Ok, however much you've thought about this Nuzzi business, I promise I've thought about it more. newsletter.anamariecox.com/archive/note...

THIS COUNTS FOR TOM HOLLAND RULE PURPOSES. Must watch. Must re-post. www.youtube.com/watch?embeds...

🚨 I will never look away. Neither should you. This is what ICE is doing. They are not police, they are untrained, morally bankrupt monsters. This cannot go on. We need to organize for these children. They may have weapons and power, but we see this. This is fuel. 1/2

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I think it's the "saving up for braces" part of this story that adds a whole new level of ick. Like... that's a kid, man

he was a boy she was a girl can I make it any more obvious? he went to work she stole his plums forgive her, they're cold and she wanted them

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

They are only in a terrible position if they give any kind of shit about their constituents. Which they have shown they do not.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Eight Senate Dems Caved, and Caved Too Early With one more week, Trump would have owned far more of the responsibility for SNAP and flight cutbacks. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/10/e...

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not. This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Want a party that actually fights back? Run for office. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

The list of sell outs and thier re-election dates. Lots of just electeds abd retirees. Hassan-2028 King -just re-elected Cortez-Masto - 2028 Shaheen - retiring Kaine -just re-elected Fetterman - 2028 Durbin -retiring Rosen - just re-elected

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

@schiff.senate.gov hey weenie. All your voicemails are full. How can you be trusted to represent 12 million people if you can’t figure out a voicemail system from the 21st century?

Mamdanistan is crazy! 😂😂

THIS IS SO GOOD

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

once again sincerely begging the pope to appear in person to deliver the Eucharist to these wrongly imprisoned people, make them shoot you in your hometown if they truly wish to stop it. hell, lead an entire secular coalition there to bring aid and comfort to detainees

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

the pause was so silly like Gorsuch really went

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either. Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."
