'out of the three mass shootings today'

The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election. It won 51 seats - an outright majority. Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership. A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

In Ohio, starting on Monday 9/29, we'll be implementing an age assurance solution similar to what we're doing in South Dakota and Wyoming. Read more here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

The armed ICE abductions of workers in Rock Creek Park are hinging on new (and selective) enforcement of the "No Commercial Vehicles" rule on the park's roads, like Beach Drive, Piney Branch Parkway, Ross Drive, and Shoreham Drive. #bigballsgoonshow

I don’t know how we break the cycle where people go “hm, life is difficult in many ways, I want change” and vote for whoever’s not currently in charge. It’s a lot easier to break stuff than to build anything, so Republicans being in charge half the time means a lot more gets broken than built.

My most controversial post-ejection take is that treating voters as adults with agency and telling them the truth isn’t looking down on them, while telling voters things you know to be false to validate their feelings in an attempt to manipulate them is considerably more condescending.

Listening to this, it also feels like more evidence of how far some white people will go to defend white innocence, will invent space for themselves outside history. And when someone they say they respect patiently walks them through this, for all their valorization of “listening,” they won’t.

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

Guess what pals? You don't have to wait for someone else to do this in your neighborhood You can just order whistles and do the same It can be you who is clever and shows solidarity and courage.

Great piece. (I’m a bit rushed so I skimmed past Klein’s parts so I could focus on Coates)

@cmalexaaviles.bsky.social handed out these awesome little stickers with QR codes for what to do if ICE comes. Here's the website it points to: www.immi.org/en/Home/make...

Republicans on such a clear path to whites-only education in America

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Literally this comic

Some say Charlie Kirk did Politics the right way, that he was an authoritative champion of free speech and discourse. Part of that “Politics” is a 1200-person Professor Watchlist that’s led to harassment, censoring, cancellation campaigns, and death threats.

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

the president just said the military should start shooting american civilians if they want to

The six-year-old has been insisting on new jokes all the time. Here's what I came up with so far: 1. Why is New York State the opposite of Minnesota? Because New York has the Big Apple, but Minnesota is where the Minneapolis ("mini apple is").

Thanks, voters

#BREAKING: Over the dissents of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, #SCOTUS grants (yet another) stay to President Trump—this one allowing him to cease obligating $4 billion in foreign aid funding appropriated by Congress. I’ll post the link when it’s up.

The death of shame and its consequences, especially for public figures, is a huge reason why we are in this place as a country. Shame as a concept is imperfect and can be abused, but we should absolutely be able to say that people with horrific, hateful beliefs must be made pariahs.

When Trump said "Russia, are you listening," he may have known for a fact that they were, not because Russia told him, but because Israel was spying on Russia and feeding the info to Trump.

says a lot that’s not good about the moral and intellectual seriousness of our most prestigious universities that they will be compared unfavorably by posterity to the cohost of The Man Show

Ezra Klein explains why he is against the “oppositional” approach of Dems. One example he gives is blatantly false: immigration. But more important: Klein shows how folks like him almost always casually throw vulnerable people under the bus in the name of “practicality.”

"Justice Clarence Thomas said the Supreme Court should take a more critical approach to settled precedent, saying decided cases are not 'the gospel' and suggesting some may have been based on 'something somebody dreamt up and others went along with.'" Clarence needs to retire.

Thanks, voters

The harsh reality is that he did run on going after his enemies. He also ran on inflationary tariffs and pardoning January 6 insurrectionists. He ran on killing green energy. He didn’t even pretend he was gonna unite the country as he called Democrats evil and scum. And he won the popular vote.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...
