Truth to Power right here...

This sad state of affairs is my observation as well 🫤

Welp, The Stain finally got the largest crowds that he can honestly brag about.

The instruction for NYC are simple: The deadline to register to vote is October 25th, THIS coming Sat. Do NOT sleep on this. Get everyone you know who lives in NYC and is not a voter registered. Then map out your plan to vote. Build in the possibility of bad weather, traffic or some other

The corrupt begat corruption

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.” @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

HEY New York Times, IT WAS SHIT HE DUMPED ON PROTESTERS! If he can post it, the least you can do is write it!

Trump says if he invokes the Insurrection Act, ”there is no more court cases, there is no more anything.” By “no more anything” he means no more democracy.

South Korea’s top policy chief says the country made “substantial progress” on most key issues in tariff talks with the US, following a weekend of meetings that also saw Seoul’s top tycoons attend a golf event with Donald Trump.

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

An immigration agent to a protester who was filming their vehicle’s license plate: “You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day.”

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

Trump: "The only price we have that's high is beef, and we'll get that down. And one of things we're thinking about doing is beef from Argentina."

Complete. COMPLETE lack of self awareness.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Ben Meiselas on Thursday: Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. It's not great timing because it's right after the Putin talk, he's still going to be feasting off the Putin talking points. If I was betting, knowing Trump's psychology and pathology, he's going to try to intimidate Zelensky.

Between this and Trump dropping shit in his dreams. 'Nuff said.

The New York Times has reported—and the president seemed to confirm—that Trump has signed what’s called a “presidential finding,” or a classified directive authorizing covert action, against the regime of Venezuelan ruler Nicolás Maduro. trib.al/yz6Yv4I

Our DNI is likely a Russian asset and the President is unabashedly Putin’s useful idiot. It’s only a matter of time before we are ostracized from most of the intelligence community.

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy prepares to go to prison

SCANDAL — the “paid protesters” all got stiffed yesterday 🤷🏼 💰 Now they know how all those contractors Trump hired feel 😕 (H/T @thegoodliars.bsky.social & @howdypolitics.bsky.social )

What, are the MAGA Regressives planting shit to sweep up by Secret Service. Awfully suspicious hunting stand discovered in W. Palm Beach Airport where Air Force One lands. And The Stain didn’t get the aggressive display he wanted at No Kings so he can “justify” beefed up military presence.

Russia, Russia, Russia, as they say

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

Just like companies seek out the mob for protection.

Trump: "We're building a gravel road into this incredible place of rare earth. And I said, 'We should own a part of that company.' And then I do that and people criticize me, 'That's not the American way!' It is actually the American way."

Yet another one

Predictions before an experiment helps us assess results afterwards. What did the coordinated GOP messaging before No Kings mean? Now we see: there was no plan. They were unwilling or unable to take the next step to seize power. They couldn't do it - couldn't openly use violence on US citizens. 1/

Imagine being a MAGA lady getting handcuffed by the cops as a bunch of protesting liberals chat "USA! USA! USA!"

The huge No Kings protests, an estimated 7 million people addressing America's worst crisis since the Civil War, get a tiny headline on the New York Times homepage, with no photo. Why does NYT think change happens only when politicians hold news conferences and not when everyday people take action?

HA Robert De Niro, on The Weekend, [they’re] saying Fuck You [to Trump and his regime] De Niro always lays it on the line.

New NYT euphemism just dropped

He’s a murderer and so far he’s getting away with it.

Trump just posted another video that shows he’s mentally deranged, but this one has some truth to it. Trump indeed is a tyrant dumping shit on the American people.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle. And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Grok is going to get another spanking from daddy.

Republicans veterans in Congress, Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Caine, and senior military officers continue to remain silent while Trump, Vance and Hegseth, week after week, give partisan political speeches to active duty troops. It is a betrayal of their oath to the Constitution.

On Jan 6 in DC, ~2500 MAGAs violently protested. DC police reported 174 police injuries, 9 deaths, & 1500+ criminal convictions. On Oct 18 in NYC, ~100K Americans peacefully protested. NYPD reports 0 injuries, 0 deaths, & 0 arrests. FACT—Right wing violence remains America’s biggest terror threat.

About 13 officers in a crowd of community members and protesters were exposed to the tear gas. This is the second time CPD officers have been gassed by ICE while trying to work with them. The move violates a judge’s order telling federal agents to rein in excessive force. trib.al/TiKgLI5

The existence of medical debt is a policy choice. Undoing it is a policy choice, too. I got to share how we erased it with @krystalball.bsky.social and @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social last week.

A Portland mother was violently pushed to the ground and has since been transported across state lines. Her husband has no idea when they’ll hear from her again. trib.al/ogL4TF2
