Only in Finland: the single biggest taxpayer criticises government for cutting taxes

Elon Musk went to Pedophile Island www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Amateur hour in the name of fascism.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Even in picking the correct subway seat, he fucks it up with a nasty dig at Mamdami. The guy is a bum, at best.

They joined the government, my dudes.

Ahh, pedestrian safety! Where all the responsibility to remain safe is in the hands of the pedestrian, not one peep is directed at drivers.

This is not a serious nation.

Can someone please print up about 340 million flyers with this on it?

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

Trump was standing less than a mile from the Bergdorf Goodman department store where he sexually assaulted @ejeancarroll.bsky.social when he said this.

Absolutely shameful. Just gutter racism on the world stage.

I wonder just how far this overt hostility to public health goes before visa-free travel for US citizens becomes a real liability for countries that currently offer it.

Coming up tonight at 19:19 BST/20:19 CEST: the September #Equinox! This image from Meteosat-12, taken this morning, shows Earth near the equinox - when the terminator appears as a straight line dividing the planet into equal halves of light and dark. @wmo-global.bsky.social @eumetsat.int

Eventually a spade is going to be have to be called a spade, and then what?

Just gonna leave this here…

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

The assumption here is that there is rational thought and logic behind the voting decisions of these people. I don't think it's that. Rather, fear, hate, and tribalism. Those aren't beaten like this. But through power, time, and yes a touch of grace.

This! Translation: The possible accession of Ukraine to the EU and prosperity is a threat to the current Russian leadership. It might make the Russians ask why the Ukrainians, who they consider linguistically and ethnically similar, become wealthy when they themselves do not.

A very good read.

Important thread. Words do matter. We can’t whitewash what’s happening here #fascism

this exists it is called thinking

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

Not only does this defeat the purpose of tariffs, but by selecting coffee over, say, tea, what we have is the Republican Party essentially acting as a government food and beverage panel, deciding which food and drinks Americans are allowed to enjoy. Instead of the free market.

Question for the @flightradar24.com team. Is there a reason the OFF time is shown rather than OUT? Any way to show the whole OUT/OFF/ON/IN sequence? Just curious, but it does make it a bit harder to determine if a flight actually left on time, especially when there's a long taxi time involved.

Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.

Some thoughts on #onelongnight Chapters 3 & 4. - Access to British run camps in South Africa was very limited. I see echos of this today, in the US with members of Congress denied entry and even arrested when trying to assess conditions in holding centers, much less camps. 1/X

Good riddance. I was enjoying Aliens: Earth but I enjoy living in a free country more.

I came of political age hating the Bush guys and now I have to get in the trenches with them against the guy from the apprentice I would like to file several complaints

"It's so confusing isn't it? So much going on, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident." -Nemik

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

So, 'strong families, nutrition and fitness, and hope for the future' is just open eugenics, not even a dogwhistle. Exactly the language used in the late 19th/early 20th century iteration of movement, which used to hold 'family fitness' events promoting, you guessed it, eugenics.

A good read on the power combo of incompetence and malice that the Trump administration wields in its international affairs.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

"How I view myself anyways is as just another human being, I just happen to play baseball," Mets pitcher Sean Manaea told Streetsblog NYC's Dave Colon on a subway commute to Citi Field. "Taking the train is just what New Yorkers do, and I want to be that."

donald trump and the white nationalists that run his government want you to think that slavery was just fine www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad. Or wasn't, until now.
