I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

“.. A top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states .. to form ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in ‘riot control’, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive ..” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Billionaires are so accustomed to political privilege that the prospect of slightly more democracy feels to them like oppression. Inside the elite freakout over @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social👇

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics. GET OUT THE VOTE here bit.ly/4nxYXFp

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him. The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment. #authoritarianism #DemocraticDecline #SteadyStateAssessment

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality. www.thedissident.news/grokipedia-a...

Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests. When billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

3 times in the past 2 weeks, a WashPost editorial "has taken on matters in which Bezos has a financial or corporate interest without noting his stake. In each case, the Post's editorial line landed in sync with its owner's interests" Via @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/10/28/n...

It's such a weird situation where centrist Democrats clearly lead the party yet always blame their failures on a perceived powerful left-wing. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

Anthony Boyd asked Supreme Court justices to spare him from a torturous death by nitrogen hypoxia. They said no. His execution took 37 minutes. This is barbarous. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/antho...

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

this effin’ idiot

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina. This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

My god. The levels of lunacy and derangement continue to rise every hour at record levels. Its absolutely insane no one in the Republican party has the courage to speak out against a man who is clearly seriously unwell and should be institutionalized immediately. He is terrifyingly crazy.

Trump promised to bring down prices. Yet inflation is on the rise — especially at the grocery store. Trump promised no more foreign entanglements. Yet his regime is unilaterally launching airstrikes on boats in the Caribbean. Promises made, promises broken.

this is like a forwarded chain email grandpa sent

10/23/25 IG: mike_kelly_photography 10am ICE arrested US citizen after alleging she‘d made a threat. Both woman & onlookers refuted claim, but ICE proceeded to force her to ground & zip-tie her hands. Incident followed a failed attempt by ICE to gain access at nearby laundromat 🛑THIS MUST STOP🛑

There is no moral gray area in the war in Ukraine. Ukraine fights for survival. Russia fights to force Ukrainians who survive to become Russians. Ukraine kills far more Russian soldiers, while Russia kills far more Ukrainian civilians

A picture worth 1,000 votes? The photos of a demolished White House wing and landscape could be breaking through in ways other things haven’t. An iconic part of U.S. history razed to build a ballroom for the hugely rich? Nothing could be more attention-getting or less subtle, in words or visuals.

At some point it has to become clear that this tech exists is to create a more toxic society and enrich its owners. These uses are not aberrations but rather the entire purpose.

Meanwhile, the government is shut down, and Donald Trump has recently demolished the east wing in order to make an enormous Golden ballroom.

Brought to you by the same voters who started losing faith in the government when government forces attacked the Branch Davidian complex in Waco in 1993 ....sigh

New in PN: Trump shits on us. Why doesn’t the media care? "Millions exercised their rights & Trump’s response was burying them in virtual feces. At best it's juvenile; at worst an ugly attack on the democratic spirit. Either way, it’s very offensive. You’d think journos would want to talk about it"

That's such a good question! Tell me, did you try endorsing his opponent in the 2024 election?

🚨ICE puts a gun in the FACE of a pregnant woman as she drives with her toddler in the vehicle. 1/2

yes. run the “Undo“ candidate. undo everything he did, tear it down

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

It does somehow sum everything up neatly. Trashy vulgarian unilaterally decides to tear up an iconic American building as though it’s one of his tacky private clubs, rather than a national monument he has very temporarily (and foolishly) been permitted to inhabit.

Yes, if a news outlet reports that the president posted a video in which he shits on the American people — if they merely describe what he posted — that is the same as “propaganda for the left.”

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I'm old enough to remember when David Broder said of Bill Clinton, "He came in here and he trashed the place, and it's not his place." Every day, in ways both literal and figurative, we now can see what trashing the place truly means. wapo.st/4hqBNiU

POP QUIZ: The Tennessean is… A) bad at math B) like other outlets, intentionally downplaying the crowd at the Capitol 🤷🏼

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Other than an excellent opinion piece by @shteyngart.bsky.social, the @nytimes.com apparently has no follow-up stories on the "No Kings" demonstrations, one of the largest days of political protest in U.S. history. They don't even get a mention in the U.S. News and Politics homepage roundups.

“oh here, i have it queued up on this tablet for you already” how i expect reporters to reply to the “havent seen it” replies from republicans

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Oh wow
