A reminder that the GOP could stop this man from literally tearing down our country at any time, and they are *choosing* not to

Of course American fascism is just consumerist slop.

Minit-thread: Bears repeating daily at this point: There were no immigration laws at all until white people on the West Coat began to fear the dreaded Yellow Peril of Chinese immigration in the 1880s. That's right. While these people were building railroads across mountain and plain...

Another lunatic with a weapon of war…

The "factual background" begins with something irrelevant and erroneous. Dallas is not in Oregon, and the Dallas shooting wasn't connected to any ICE protest. If that's enough for the President to federalize a different state's National Guard and deploy them elsewhere, then the power is limitless.

The truth is, Social Security hasn’t missed a payment in 90 years. The lies about Social Security are proven wrong every time we make a contribution or receive our earned benefits.

Meridah Nandudu was a single mom of two kids, unemployed and in despair. Then she had an idea: Maybe the "humble" coffee beans she'd grown up with on her parents' farm could lead her to a better life.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but… It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’ It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’ It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

This guys dad is notorious in Utah for his "management style" which includes retaliatory behavior as an elected official against domestic violence shelters, abuse of the legal system in filling lawsuits and more. Then he tried getting special treatment for his kid in jail. This guy. Republicans...

DHS just got caught telling multiple lies about federal agents shooting a US citizen multiple times newrepublic.com/article/2019...

For those asking after the woman who was arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama, @gambleganders.bsky.social says she was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. I told her I bet Bluesky could find her a lawyer!

🚨WASHINGTON STATE🚨 Window shopping for 2026 Washington Healthplanfinder opens TOMORROW OCT. 21. If you log in tomorrow and see that your plan has doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled—speak out. Republicans need to face the crisis they created and work with us to solve it.

Let’s make it go viral for her…

just to let you know, when i was on the Grand Jury for Travis County (3 months of looking at a million cases to decide whether to indict or not), i'd say an easy 80% of cases relied solely on nearby door cams for photographic evidence of crimes

This is absolutely horrendous. Mark Roseman is one of the greatest of the current generation of Holocaust scholars. And he's being replaced in violation of faculty governance by someone who is in not qualified to fill his shoes. This is more caving to the regime. www.idsnews.com/article/2025...

Yep, seen all that shit. Still pissed and angrier by the day. Fuck Nazis…

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them? TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

22 arrests. All Maga. Including this armed terrorist with a gun who assaulted a woman. I think we know who the violent ones are. #NoKings

Lord, I see what you can do with space debris and I humbly ask if I may suggest targeting data...

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing. And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power. When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

For those of you who are wondering, the most important opsec lesson to take from the First Wap story is that if your threat model includes a government, do not take your cell phone with you to locations or meetings you don't want them to know about.

Such an embarrassment.

DOJ WHISTLEBLOWER: “I wouldn’t be abiding by my oath if I stayed silent right now.” 🇺🇸 He says Trump’s DOJ wanted him to lie (about Kilmar being a gang member & terrorist, etc…) — and fired him when he wouldn’t.

I spoke with Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips who shared her story of what happened on the Island, what she observed, and her fight for survivors today. We spoke about details that I haven’t seen in any other interview to date. youtu.be/4ux1OBz9NZM?...

Who is the colonizer in this photo? You get one guess.

The government shutdown stops USDA from administering farm subsidies, raising the specter of growing farm foreclosures. It also delays a bailout President Trump had promised for farmers impacted by tariffs.

The former Marion, Kansas police chief who ordered a raid on the newspaper that was investigating him is set to stand trial for telling a witness to delete text message evidence (via @journalist-sherman.bsky.social)

Argentina gets $40 billion just like that, while the Navajo, Hopi, San Juan River Paiute, and others are hoping Congress will not only approve, but also allocate a measly $5 billion for the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement.

The FAA says that air traffic control staffing issues are delaying travel at airports in Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta and Newark as a U.S. government shutdown continues.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

"Unless something dramatic changes, Vladimir Putin will be unable to win the war on the battlefield. The fact that he nevertheless continues to try regardless suggests that he is out of ideas." www.economist.com/interactive/...

I LOVE this! Polebridge, MT is an off-the-grid tiny burg deep up the North Fork. Neighbor to a National Forest and a National Park. The number of folks who showed up is a really big deal!

No notes

Protesters aren't the rioters. The cops are.

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

One of the underrated elections taking place this fall—the only Republican in office in Seattle for that matter

LAPD now shooting 40mm foam rounds at people, some narrowly missing photographers who were stuck in between the line and protesters. Just absolutely evil shit.

incredible photo

Just putting a pin in this one because it’s going to come up later.

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list
