On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

The U of California Council of Faculty Associations has launched an "SOS" coalition -- when SOS stands for Save our System! Support our Students! Save our Science! and Support our State! One purpose is to organize the response from faculty to attacks from the Trump admin. Well-done […]

Why would anyone who doesn’t want Trump to succeed in dismantling US Constitutional democracy want to “take down the temperature”? You can’t possibly counteract the White House’s incessant temperature raising. Do you really think the problem is not enough complacency? People are caring too much?

Felt like a goddamned champion walking out of the grocery store and the bill was only $153 with $80 in savings. A year ago this same amount of groceries would’ve been ~$100

The Guardian US government shutdown live: ‘erratic’ and ‘unhinged’ Trump to blame for shutdown, say senior Democrats https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/oct/01/us-government-shutdown-update-2025-shutting-funding-trump-democrats-republicans-live-updates-latest-news

Senator Cruz releases a 40pg report on a “Biden Censorship Regime” that started in 2018 (Trump ran the government), “censored” the 2020 election (Trump ran the government), and tyrannically demanded platforms censor (interviews from other committees call BS on this systemic tyranny). Embarrassing.

Rep. Jamie Raskin endorsed Zohran Mamdani, applauding his fight for democracy and courage against Trump’s authoritarianism. “In these times, the Democratic Party needs to stick together with the maximum solidarity and focus.” #VoteNY

Once it's all shut down and gone to shit, all that will remain is authoritarianism and a practically endless money supply to implement it.

Beautiful redheads are always on my mind. Smart ones especially.

putting Facebook on phone to watch Donnies demise.

Donnie will go over the clif at the gi gathering.

Hegsth is too drunk to make the meeting!!!

I’m really grateful for Pritzker. But that he’s so good at this also makes clear just how badly most other Democrats are failing to meet the moment.

Attorney General Bonta Issues Joint Statement Affirming Safety of and Access to Mifepristone https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-issues-joint-statement-affirming-safety-and-access

Go camala

The President of the United States claims to have authorized the military to use lethal force on US citizens, and there’s not a single Republican who has the balls to tell him that’s both illegal and morally wrong.

Hegsth hopefully and probably gonna be dressed down tomorrow.

If an enemy of the president can be charged with a federal crime the Department knows it can’t prove, then the Department is rotten to the core. Bondi is unfit for office and as legitimate attorneys leave we can expect more phonies like Halligan to fill in. open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

United States v. Armstrong, 517 U.S. 456 (1996) seems like a good Supreme Court case for U.S. citizens to familiarize themselves with these days: https://share.google/nwD8NI8FQzN9My4uc

Trump says "hate-filled rhetoric" fuels violence and must end. Maybe he should talk to the guy who calls his political opponents "sick, sinister, and evil people" who are "trying to destroy our country" because they are "communists," "Marxists," "lunatics," "vermin," and "the enemy from within."
