Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin. He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S. Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed. Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

No one: Not a soul on earth: Chuck Schumer: Time to hand my ass and everyone else's to the Republicans again

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Fuck this guy

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Zohran Mamdani wins with >50% of the vote. Clean sweeps in statewide races in New Jersey and Virginia. Pennsylvania retains all democratic Supreme Court justices. California passes prop 50. This is the best possible outcome that could've happened tonight.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I really missed this feeling. 💙💙💙

We did it California!!!!

Zohran Mamdani will become the next mayor of New York City. (NBC News)

MAMDANI!!!! Suck it Schumer!

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

one last observation: donald trump has never won a majority of the vote and yet the political press treats him like the embodied spirit of the american people. will be interesting to see how they discount mamdani as representing new york if he wins less than a majority.

This is the hope I wanted to feel last year. Fuck you trump!

I hope the billionaires are crying tonight ✨

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

Exit polls say Abigail Spanberger won young men 56–42 today. Talk about a narrative buster.

It’s wild that they just continue to openly admit how deeply unpopular they really are

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoning—and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to. Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

One year ago

A 60 second summary of some of the biggest and best sights from #NoKings Day. Congratulations to every single organizer, volunteer and attendee👏 History.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Remember, if someone has the audacity to tell you that there’s “no market” for a career as the eccentric yet mysterious owner of a quaint bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Edinburgh that doubles as a café and triples as a cat rescue, then they were never your true friend.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

So no terrorism then?

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket. How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

This pastor was sprayed right in the face with pepper spray.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Leo: Psychologists say self-hatred is better than emotional numbness, but why settle for one when you can have both for free!

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

BINGO!

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

Perfect image for this moment -- Pete Hegseth wasted millions of dollars flying military leaders from across the globe to hear him blather about gender-neutral physical fitness standards and appearance, and the chryon in the corner notes the government is about to shut down.

Pretty rich hearing Hegseth say that some unqualified folks have been promoted.
