It would be nice to take a break from talking about the rapidly decaying state of the country and I give it a shot as often as I can, but everything else feels painfully frivolous and put-on. All of it is mentally exhausting

Thousands of activists marched down Park Avenue and turned down Billionaires’ Row toward Trump Tower in New York Saturday to “Make Billionaires Pay,” calling for climate justice, democracy, free speech, gender equality, a stop to the Trump’s immigration crackdown and a ceasefire in Gaza.

Reporters at the Pentagon have been told they can no longer report information which has not been approved. Those who refuse will lose their press credentials per Washington Post

It is extremely obvious that democratic leadership is actively contributing to the death threat problem as I never see them defend rank and file when they are subject to attacks by fascists.

It’s demoralizing to see people STILL living in the fantasy land where the Dems r anything more than better mannered partners in crime with the Repub party. At this point propping up this fiction is just propaganda for fascists & big capital.

Zakaria has really struggles to raise funds despite having injuries that caused him to be hospitalized for over 15 months which still need a lot of care

The flag down the road from Sandy Hook flying at half staff for the man who demanded that conservatives defend Alex Jones after survivors' families prevailed in their lawsuit against him 🙃

Only seven Senate Democrats are signed onto a resolution put forward by Jeff Merkley for the United States recognize the State of Palestine. They are: Sen. Jeff Merkley Chris Van Hollen Tim Kaine Bernie Sanders Peter Welch Tina Smith Tammy Baldwin Mazie Huron

Harris refused to move an inch on supporting a genocide knowing Trump 2 would happen and there are still white liberals blaming ppl for whom killing 100’s of thousands of children is a red line. Incredible.

What a sad and despicable coward.

The entire premise of Starmer's 'Sycophant's Bearhug' strategy was that it would allow him (and the UK) to bear the tumult of Trump 2.0 with dignity in tact, and this is the result: Zero progress on tariffs, a vague statement about Putin, and a right-wing press crowing about how he got dog-walked.

Celebrities used to sometimes be weird communists, now they’re all doing ads for chips

Trump on Air Force One demanded the expulsion and impeachment of Rep Ilhan Omar from Congress. “She’s from Somalia..these people come from a place with nothing, and then they tell us how to run our country. “They impeached me twice for nothing!”

These goons and the careerists who roll over for them are the kind of evil you read about in religious texts and bedtime stories.

in wheaton, illinois, this morning— it appears bystanders helped chase off this crew of ice agents, who had boxed in a person's car outside a convenience store. multiple people showed up and recorded the interaction. after a brief back-and-forth with agents, the feds got in their cars and left.

"abolish ice" still a purity test? just checking in

And the NYTimes, MSNBC, CNN are under the control of large Corporate interests through ownership and/or advertising money.

I can not think of anything helpful to say at this point. I don't want to destroy what hope some people may have left.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Anything we do has to include breaking up corporate and media monopolies. The tools are there to dismantle this horseshit, you just have to find the people willing to use them.

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

This is the plain and simple truth of this moment. Publicly traded corporations only respond to their stock price going down.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

Pay attention to the media organisations who will report on Trump declaring antifa - which does not exist - as a terrorist organisation without explicitly saying what antifa stands for every time. They’d have to report that Trump is effectively declaring anti-fascism as an enemy ideology.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

BREAKING: TRUMP DESIGNATES “THOSE PEOPLE” AS AN OFFICIAL TERRORIST GROUP.

This is eliminationist, genocidal rhetoric. There’s nothing ambiguous about it. And it didn’t come from a random Bluesky account with 28 followers. It came from a sitting member of Congress. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-c...

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Shithead

This is all he said.

genuinely not great how little resistance they has been in elite civil society

I hate to say this out loud. The future of SNL may be in grave danger. 🙏

Adam Carolla is making the sweatiest calls possible to his agent right now

When super moderate centrist shows like Kimmel and Colbert are being shut down you know we are chest deep in the fascist broth. What is SNL going to do? The entire foundation of that show for 50 years has been mocking whoever’s President.

Jesus Christ.

I love how “social activism” here means refusing to sell ice cream to a genocidal regime

"Global 2-meter temperatures once again broke the Paris limit on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15, reaching 1.52°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline both days, marking the 2nd hottest temperatures for the date on record, and possibly in the last 120,000 years." (Prof Eliot Jacobson) #collapse
