Knocked over the coffee filter, but fortunately it landed in my just-assembled bowl of salad. How's everyone doing this morning?

No one is in charge, we don't have a president, just layers of scheming viziers and their degenerate lackeys.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

My law firm is currently litigating 11 redistricting cases in 10 states. We are also litigating an additional 54 voting and election cases in 27 states. This is as many cases as we typically handle going into the final months of the election. 2026 will almost certain be a record breaking year.

Louis Armstrong and Lotte Lenya, 1955 Lenya was in the studio when Armstrong recorded "Mack the Knife," which is why he improvised the line "and Miss Lotte Lenya!"

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

"Predictive Surveillance" -- makes you feel warm and fuzzy, don't it?

Part 205 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg dnd Hellenistic gold hairnet dating back to the 3rd century BC adorned with a bust of the goddess Artemis

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

What perfect album Came out the year you turned 16?

What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are: - One. Last. Job. - the nicest guy everyone knows, yet somehow deeply damaged - is she naive or is she evil? (yes) - introduce the seven (or 12) protagonists; carnage; fin. - bleak circumstances/dance sequence/bad idea/tragic end.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

behold! the end result of the conservative Christian values movement!

Mary Shelley, theater critic.

ICE/BP’s next targets are reportedly Charlotte and New Orleans. Two things: 1) If they had the capacity to hit many cities at once, rather than pick on one or two at a time, they would. 2) Moving south seems to confirm speculation that they’re leaving Chicago because it got cold.

what’s remarkable about this is that there are zero winners at all, one of the biggest lose-lose deals I can remember the Dem cavers will catch incandescent shit for it the rest of the Dems will catch collateral fury the big R win is… jacking everyone’s health care costs ahead of midterms

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.

President Trump just stands at his desk as a man possible dies next to him.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

the vibe in NYC suggests a Zohran-related baby boom in nine months.

the 2028 democratic party is going to be 50% DSA and 50% CIA at this rate

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" A thread for our times. (Yes, there is a real miscarriage of justice at stake here, but using this opportunity to thoroughly undermine these abuses of state power is necessary and proportionate. Well done, all around.)

I keep thinking about this passage from THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

There’s no grand plan. Stephen Miller gets off on deranged murder like a fucked up kid roasting insects with a magnifying glass.

bread and circuses is like among the oldest guidelines for empire and theyre fucking it up so bad

Roomba remotely bricked his vacuum without informing him after he turned off their spyware. Talk about malicious.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk. I had it exactly backward.

We just live in a john carpenter movie now.

I don't think it's possible to come up with a better metaphor for Trump's presidency than him cheerfully flying a plane that dumps literal shit on America

Wildly illegal $1.2 TRILLION tax hike that violates multiple domestic laws & multiple ratified international treaties, along with impoverishing the median voter, who works in the non-tradable services sector & experiences international trade <only> as a consumer.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

This morning there is one Nobel Peace Prize winner, 8.1 billion or so people who did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and one Nobel Peace Prize loser.

Incredible. Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants. The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Trump, pounding shoe: "We will bury ourselves!"

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

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.

One begins to suspect that very rich people are constantly and openly committing unspeakable crimes together, recreationally.
