we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do. …getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired. …betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator. The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

📌 Yes • More of this please ‼️ Brava George • You rock ‼️🐥

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Time to get out from under this dictator open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

This man is a U.S. citizen. A veteran. He was not protesting or interfering with ICE. He was trying to do his job. For that, he was pepper sprayed, put in prison for 3 days, no phone call, lawyer, or shower. If they can do this to him, they can do it to you. youtu.be/Fykx6FsuGJ0?...

Trump had a covid and a flu vaccine. They’re anti vaccine for us. Not for themselves. www.scrippsnews.com/politics/the...

It's not just that Trump needs to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment It's that in a sane world all his gullible, culpable bat-guano-brained followers would be removed under their own 25th Amendments as well

ICE is made up of incompetent violent racists who eagerly signed up to engage in human rights violations, kidnapping & abusing women and children, & assaulting peaceful protestors and even a priests every chance they get. #Pinks

A Democratic voting rights group was "sounding the alarm" Wednesday, warning of a "nightmare scenario" wherein the U.S. Supreme Court could "clear the path for a one-party system" and give Republicans control of Congress.

It would’ve been surprising if they had agreed to hear the case. It presents no novel issues of fact or law & the conviction is clearly due to be affirmed. Trump can pardon her, but she’s not entitled to any legal relief. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Correction: a trump appointed judge has ruled that he cannot violate the 10th amendment. The chump administration seems to think that if they post inflammatory lies on social media that somehow the constitution won't apply to them. #Pinks

This is crazy. Trump humpers are terrorists. That anger is going to be coming to people that consider themselves safe. Rich people about to go through some things thanks to the Republican Party.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms. Support its work by subscribing now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Honestly I'm tired of unnamed lawyers being upset that their firms capitulated, federal prosecutors concerned about the politicization of DOJ, and reporters dismayed that their media owners are capitulating to Trump. Either do something or accept that you watched democracy collapse and did nothing.

This is insane.

All eyes on South Carolina, where the anti-abortion movement is using the state as a testing ground for what they want nationally

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Today is National Day of Remembrance for For Homicide Victims Robert and Charlotte Hullinger, founded POMC after their daughter Lisa's murder in 1978, and U.S. Congress designated September 25th as the day in 2007 to honor murder victims and recognize the impact on their families as a result.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Morning Bluesky. The Ukrainian air force has shot down a Russian Su-34 aircraft attacking Zaporizhzhia.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Women used to be blamed for having girls instead of boys. They will always blame women for everything. Women are to suffer or die. Women are forced to accept pain. And we still don’t commit mass shootings like men do

This is just my facial expression all the damn time now

What a waste of time. No one in this Nazi Regime gives a shit about answering anyone.

The January 6 th committee was a joke. Every j6er is out free. Because the rich didn’t want to arrest and prosecute the rich. Instead they seated insurrectionists into Congress and allowed Trump to remain free to cause chaos.

I’m so disgusted by everything going on. The Nazis having power wouldn’t happen in a country that the law applies equally. Our justice system needs to be completely overhauled. It’s built on protecting rich white men.

Setting aside the bad science, the message here is that pregnant women should suffer--and risk harming their fetus with untreated fever--to reduce their chance of having a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Which makes clear his disdain for women *and* people with ASD. www.bbc.com/news/article...

And moreover, if Autism is perceived as preventable and treatable, then the implication is that people with Autism Spectrum Disorder should no longer exist.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

"Choose better"

I’m going to say something abt domestic abuse that I think applies to our current situation: Abuse increases when the abuser feels they are losing their control. Also, here is the Power and Control Wheel.

One thing conservatives are gonna do is they’re gonna make sure pregnant people are suffering as much as possible—because, of course, they hate women and want them to suffer!

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

New Cancel Me Daddy now out on YouTube! We were lonmg overdue in getting @kattenbarge.bsky.social on the show but we had a really thoughtful discussion about the free speech threats of this last week.

I didn’t celebrate. I find it funny that the rich only care about gun violence when their lives are on the line. When it’s just us regular folks they don’t care. Our children can die but not a rich white CEO

I think Hakeem is downplaying it all. He is paid to support Israel not America. AIPAC should not exist. They shouldn’t be able to purchase politicians

Talking points leaked to me show US diplomats instructed to call accusations of Israeli genocide in Gaza "politically motivated and categorically false" as well as a "propaganda campaign"

If Republicans really believed that America was a ‘pro-life’ nation, they wouldn’t have to work so hard to trick voters! What’s happening in Missouri right now is a blatant attack on democracy: jessica.substack.com/i/174038402/...

In 2022, Kansas voters *overwhelmingly* defeated an anti-abortion ballot measure. Ohio voters passed an abortion rights amendment in 2023. And Missouri? You guessed it! Voters passed Amendment 3 this past November. So no, we don't need 'pro-life Democrats' to win.

How unfortunate that the majority of the oligarchs have not found their moral compass and are not standing up like Eisner is now doing.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...
