A bit of a BlueSky Hail Mary - but if you live in NYC and looking to adopt or can donate, please help. I've spent over 3k to keep this backyard family alive and healthy. Everything you would need to know: www.amandaschultz.com/adopt Anyone that could repost I'd be grateful.

This is EXCELLENT. 1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome. 2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

Trico is like a living Muppet.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Full monologue below. Jimmy Kimmel highlighted Trump’s latest censoring of journalists. Great use of the spotlight on him.

Hooray, Jag wrote the thread so I don't have to!

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

this was one of the more thought-provoking pieces i've read recently data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-democr...

Time for us to all start up petcare services for all the people about to be Raptured that want us to take care of their dogs and cats after. Payment in advance required for obvious reasons.

Reposting this Rah thread about the exact contours of America's religious heresy for no particular reason after having seen reporting on a significant funeral yesterday.

Holy shit

New nightmare just dropped, so I'm gonna post this here: If I die, please don't let them host a Trump rally at my funeral.

Current mood: want to go outside and just scream "FUCK!" at the top of my lungs, but cannot because We Live In A Society.

Great post by @laurenshof.online. This stood out as an incredibly succinct summarization of what has been going on in the culture and why even using Kirk’s own words gets people pilloried. connectedplaces.online/blueskyism-p...

One underdiscussed part of the shutdown fight is that Trump has created an impression that he controls the whole government, so if it shuts down and he has to blame Democrats for not giving him money he needs, it pops that entire aura. If the dictator can't run things people will blame the dictator.

get yourself a congressional candidate who can kill charybdis *and* prioritize direct action

Half the Answer #33: Caitlin and Trent talk with independent journalist Amanda Moore about the groypers and their peers, the self-serving micro-celebrities who profit from them, and the media’s mad scramble to make the latest assassination fit into the left-right paradigm without consulting experts.

NEW: If Republicans won’t conduct oversight of Trump’s unconstitutional and cruel immigration policies that kidnap and disappear immigrants of all statuses, I will. Today’s Shadow Hearing will focus on how his actions are destroying U.S. families and communities.

I know everything is fucked up and bullshit in particular right now, with multiple Congressional hearings and criminal trials and other things of huge importance, but I am making time in and among all that to also worry about today's Federal Open Market Committee announcement at 2pm.

There is only one thing that I want and it is

"What if the Democratic party’s problem is not that it is too left-leaning, or for that matter, too moderate, but instead is too disconnected from the lives of the people whom it wants to appeal to? " www.programmablemutter.com/p/not-popula...

ned is exactly right. the challenge is reconnecting the democratic party to a mass constituency and building real affinity between voters and the party. it would be more worthwhole to put $10 million into piloting democratic clubs and associated newspapers bsky.app/profile/resn...

Oh a forced sale to regime allies? Shocker.

If you haven’t had time to follow the Internet crackdown and subsequent violent upheaval of govt in Nepal, here’s a recap. In addition to being an awful story about real people’s lives, it’s also an amazing microcosm or synechdoche or something for the bigger picture.

Most Americans don't know about the Groyper War, which is a thing. But there is not enough evidence on motive now to say whether Tyler Robinson was a player in this internecine squabble within MAGA. Indeed, there is not enough evidence to make any meaningful conclusion at this point.

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

I have been having good results with this guy so far, having fun with the "messing around with tokens" monoblack build, so I have been working further on it and figured I should show the second draft.

Thread.

My feed is almost entirely people condemning violence and telling others not to celebrate this.

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

BREAKING: Nepal is going through a violent revolution right now as the Parliament, Supreme Court, police stations, and houses of politicians have been set on fire by Gen-Z. The Prime Minister and Home Minister have resigned in succession in the last 24-ish hours. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

A Democratic messaging firm ("Navigator Research") tied to the establishment has sent out a memo on govt shutdown fight around DC this am. They want the Democrats/progressives to focus on "bipartisanship" and focus no pissing of Republicans by talking about "stopping Trump." 🙃

Men are from Marseilles Women are from Venice

Look, I don't have any *proof* that Donald Trump is jacking off into all these fancy sports trophies that keep mysteriously disappearing into his presence, but you don't have any proof he *isn't* doing that either.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

May his cardboard box options be plentiful in the feline afterlife!

My important question for Trump at his Press Conference At Bernie's, will Fake Melania stay married to Fake Trump?

Um...as the old saying goes, when you want to convince people you aren't being Weekend At Bernie's, you open your press conference with serious unexplained technical glitches.
