Fuck the @democrats.org and their coronation of Janet Mills. Mills is awesome, and also a 77 year-old career politician. Read the fucking room, guys. Let there be a real primary, and @grahamformaine.bsky.social Platner will clean it up. www.grahamforsenate.com

D’Angelo — the soul singer, songwriter and producer who died on Tuesday at 51 — released three studio albums of genre-crossing music. Here are 14 essential songs that show his extraordinary musical scope.

The executive is usurping a core Article I function, this should be treated with the same amount of alarm as if he declared he's disbanding Congress, because that's functionally what he's doing/done

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

We are Amphifa.

I know I say this all the time, but I love Portland. One of my favorite things about living in Seattle is how close we are to Portland.

Definitely looks like a war zone. But then again, I hate running. LOL.

Truth.

Everyone - certainly every democrat - running in the midterms needs to make this promise. Then make good on it when we win back power.

My favorite West Coast city. Was just there, time to go back, I think.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Honestly, if you could live through Regan and the response to Obama and not know, that says a lot. People don't pay attention to things that don't directly impact them, but it's been clear for years. Like, forever. (I didn't know how many of the were my own family, though. By choice.)

If you've never been to Portland OR, this is sooooo Portland. Love. If that aint' love the tell me what is, uh huh. (Someone will get that deep cut, right?)

I've been Antifa for as long as I can remember, and I've still never been invited to the clubhouse. Not a single official Antifa meeting. I don't even know who our leader is. I'm beginning to think that, well, maybe it's not an organized thing and rather a setting on a moral compass.

Was just there. Lotsa cute stores (too many, irresistibly so.) Great food. Great music. There is nothing scary or unusual going on there. I mean, there's Darth Vader riding a unicycle, but.....

Antifa were the good guys in the Weimar Republic. And they're the good guys now.

Ya, so, I feel like "we won't survive if you don't let us rob you and abuse you" is a clear indicator that this isn't a workable business. Never mind all the other MASSIVE problems with AI.

If you live in California, now’s your chance to fight back against Trump’s attack on free and fair elections. Vote YES on Proposition 50. Early voting starts today. Let’s make sure Republicans know that we won’t let them rig our elections.

I also don’t think that children who might grow up to be sex workers or drug users deserve to suffer from preventable diseases

I remember people calling me in 2020 worried that Seattle was a place of mass riots. I live IN THE CITY LIMITS and had no idea what they were talking about. It was one square block of protest. I was just in Portland, and, same. Trump and FOX are lying. (Gorgeous here, come visit.)

Okay, thanks to COVID I have had enough time to formulate the question that I think everyone is missing: Isn't Belly the bad one, for fucking around with brothers - who are also lifelong family friends - like that? I'm team "Jeremiah and Conrad both deserve better."

I had PPD after giving birth. Decades later, I'm the primary caregiver for my very old dad, who lives with us. It feels similar. Now, I wonder how much the mind-numbing nature of endless menial tasks & needs magnified underlying depression. This is worse, there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Democrats, are you paying attention? @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, are you there? Illegal orders are still illegal, perhaps you ought to be reminding people of that. Maybe all those generals Trump and Kegseth humiliated should be reminded. The people bombing boats? Remind them.

This administration shouldn't have cell phones.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

(As much as I hate to praise this guy) THIS IS THE WAY! This is the answer to Trump's BS. Mockery AND action.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year. I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.

Kids these days. So great. And notice, no one beat him up. Just - very dramatically - said "we're not putting up with your Nazi shit." If adults could do that we could turn this ship around by the end of the week. And it's Thursday.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped

Dear @msnbc.com, stop playing his rambling lying oratory vomit live. It's not news. It's not important. Give us the upshot when he's done. Don't validate him. Don't promote him. Don't give him the attention.

I know I shouldn't be, but I am surprised that congress is putting up with this. Proof there are no decent members of the GOP. Sad. Shameful.

YES YES YES! Let them LEAD! Take over. Change the guard. I'm here for all of them!

this is hilarious

via @micaherfan.com Immediately after the Michigan shooting, Trump implied the shooter was an anti-Christian leftist. We now know the background of the shooter. Here he is wearing a “Make Liberals Cry Again” shirt:

"The biggest American cultural event—with massive global influence—is about to be headlined by an unapologetically proud Latin trans ally who can’t stand Trump and performs solely in Spanish."

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that benefits families. Just a couple of weeks ago Congressional Republicans voted to make ICE richer than most of world’s militaries.

Ya, it sucks. But I'm good with having my travel be an even bigger pain in the ass if others get to keep healthcare. If the NY Times is trying to scare us, perhaps focus on the impact of people losing healthcare, not those of us lucky enough to be traveling....

Anyone who supports yelling at Kamala for not being able to end the genocide when they were the ones who kept her out of having the power to do so are not people that will ever vote for Democrats. We need to start just ignoring them. 1/2

Fuck Lisa Murkowski. Primary her. Get her out of office. And of course she's protecting her husband and her access to money. OF COURSE.

We're f*cked either way. We might as well let them destroy everything as quickly as possible and hope that wakes people up fast enough to vote them all out.

If Democrats don't make this the biggest story in the country for the next several days - and either force Republicans to denounce it or not, what are we even doing here? Every voter should know about this. (Imagine what would happen if, say, Mother Jones wrote this.) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...
