DJT has presided over the two longest govt shutdowns in US history. He's perfectly happy to sit on his hands because "dismantlement of the administrative state" makes his dictatorial ambitions easier. Pesky democracy. Pesky checks and balances. Pest rule of law. King Donald can't be bothered […]

So inflation now is at 3.0%. The trump tariffs are starting to hit the shelves as expected. And there is more to come. Bird flu will drive up the egg prices again this winter. And in January massive increases in health insurance rates will hit tens of millions of consumers. Inflation […]

As always, #Republicans are causing a recession. Over the last few weeks I heard from friends in smaller companies that layoffs were happening. Now it starts at big corporations, like #target They are laying off 1000 people and cancelling another 800 jobs […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Between paying artists next to nothing, hosting Joe Rogan, running racist ICE recruitment ads, to having a techno-fascist founder, I'm done... #boycottspotify

Just saw an aerial view of the #whitehouse - they are making a lot of space for the Jeffrey Epstein ballroom #trump #corruption

Giving $20 Billion to Argentina is "mission critical" during a shutdown, providing SNAP benefits and paying federal workers is not. #trump #shutdown #corruption.

There is a good #opus #bloomcounty about the current #whitehousedemolition

With the US Treasury Department right across the street from the White House in Washington, DC, they were able to quickly mock up a $20-dollar bill to commemorate Trump's desecration of the people's house. You gotta hand it to Trump, when you're the world's […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Why stop at just the east wing? "Tear down that house, Mr President." #trump #whitehouse #eastwingdemolition

It seems every few days I have to dig into software settings and turn off "AI" features that I never asked for. It is annoying. #ai #llm #enshitification

Last time we needed the Canadians to burn down the White House... This time we are doing it ourselves... #trump #whitehouse #nokings

First of the three foster cats decided that I am ok to hang out with. They had a pretty traumatic weekend, just now slowly chilling... #cats #catsofmastodon

Cambodia yesterday announced its 16th H5N1 avian flu case of the year, the first since early August, according to a Cambodia Ministry of Health press release translated and posted today by Avian Flu Diary, an infectious disease news blog.

Seattle #NoKings at the Seattle Center, with the Space Needle in the background, near the International Fountain with some trees showing lovely fall colors of oranges, reds and yellows (our trees seem to be particularly spectacular this year). That large […] [Original post on newsie.social]

The #nyt is getting scared of the numbers, so they are not reporting them. And making up justification

Nice day for a little walk and talk with a few friends in Denver #nokings #denver

A few more pics from the West Lebanon, NH/White River Junction #NoKings protest. A great turnout!

From my little corner of Atlanta, we don’t like fascist criminal dictators. We are MLK, John Lewis, Hosea Williams, Joseph Lowery and Andrew Young. We remind you that this country started out of protest 249 years ago; marching in defiance is as patriotic as it gets. 🇺🇸 #NoKings

#nokings #chicago

The #frog is at #nokings #chicago

#unicorn has arrived at #nokings #chicago

#chicago is setting up for the #nokings rally. It is sunny, all relaxed. Police looks low key, securing the wider area in normal outfits (no riot police).

If you’re on the fence about today’s events or feeling like you can’t make a difference, have a quick read. It’s not just a Trump take-down; it’s a self-purification program after nine months of ugly, cruel, stupid politics. #nokings […]

We are in Chicago right now and will be there tomorrow

A friend just reported that his employer laid off 4 out of 60 employees. Small high tech company supplying the semiconductor industry. Reason the high cost of the tariffs and weaker demand. So much for bringing back manufacturing to the US.

Hey Minnesota friends, 15 states formed a health care alliance to counter the federal government and the destruction of the CDC. But Minnesota is missing. Please contact Governor Walz and encourage him to join. #minnesota #healthcare #walz […]

The reporting here on US citizens detained, beaten, and charged with spurious offenses by MAGA feds during Kavanaugh Stops or for exercising their 1st amendment rights does not include Trump's recent invasions of Portland or Chicago so the number is closer to 200 than it appears […]

My first train trip in the US... St Paul to Chicago. It is interesting... #train #amtrak #usa #transportation

So why is #minnesota not in the health alliance with the other 15 states? https://oklahomavoice.com/2025/10/15/repub/democratic-governors-launch-multistate-public-health-alliance-to-counter-trump-rfk-jr/

My brother in law passed away on Monday. We ended up with his 3 cats... It has been quite a week. #catsofmastodon

Some of the most prominent "Young Republicans" are fascists and overt racists, with violent plans for people they despise. And they're really unhappy that their group chat just leaked. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146

My health insurance payment is increasing, from about $450 to $690 per month. And the annual deductible is going from $6500 to $8700. Thanks, #trump and #maga #republicans

No facts. No truth. No democracy.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Fact-based America and the Constitutional Republic are being simultaneously ABANDONED and ATTACKED by the MAGA clique and its facilitators. The LOGICAL and MORAL response to this is #softsecession. That means “building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground […]
