when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

the Trump admin is transparently and oafishly corrupt, and FIFA is never more comfortable than when engaging with oafishly corrupt state actors the problem for Trump and FIFA is that the US still has *some* rule of law and their corruption is so oafish www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

Wish my tax dollars weren't being given away to mega corporations ... but this is Georgia I guess.

you know what? good advice.

From @theathletic.com: Haiti qualified to compete in the men’s World Cup for the first time since 1974. But travel bans imposed by the U.S. government mean many fans will not be able to attend their nation’s games in the United States next summer.

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center we're really not prepared for what's coming

Literally just lectured about this! In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Would love to see someone from the moderate, Majority Dem faction really address and wrestle with the political effects of what Labour has been up to.

Corruption is just so out in the open now.

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

LOL Come visit America! And then “go home. And go home in a timely manner.” 🤡

Your reminder that "economic development" policy in Georgia is totally broken. What's worse is that no one seems to understand this or care.

IRELAND!!!!! 🇮🇪 ☘️

I'm actually shocked. Good on Dana Bash for asking the question, and I genuinely would not have expected Greene to answer the way she did.

People say Cancel Culture is real and then you see Lydia Tár being invited to meet the Pope. 🙄

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

NEW: During a Vatican audience, a prominent same-sex couple told Pope Leo XIV they were married. The pope responded with overwhelming kindness — and a conversation about the day’s Wordle. This quiet moment may signal something bigger: the kind of Church Pope Leo intends to build.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

‘No! Not Larry Summers!’ Wails Devastated Nation

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

uh, holy shit? apnews.com/article/trum...

Reading these Epstein emails makes me think maybe ChatGPT isn’t such a bad idea after all. Because apparently people can’t write coherent sentences.

Had the same reaction. Did I miss something where everyone rich and famous sends emails that are incomprehensible gibberish?

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

BREAKING: House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. tinyurl.com/5yj3dfpx

Figure they might announce something big tonight

"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

lots of snark about Andre 3000's jazz flute era but it's like Herbie Hancock's robot voice lectures: when you've given this much to music you get to do what you want. that's just the rules

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today. The system is rigged.

Richest nation in human history

Our grotesque split-screen: starving the poor / gorging the ultrarich "With little public scrutiny, the Trump administration is handing out hundreds of billions of dollars to giant private-equity firms, crypto companies, foreign real-estate investors, and a variety of multinational corporations."

Cameran Drew, 19, defeated his former high school government teacher by 10 votes in a race for a county supervisor seat in southeastern Virginia this week.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."
