you're already seeing & will see more stories about how various attempts at reducing energy use "aren't working," etc -- those are propaganda. this is fantastic

short thread on the Homeland Security Twitter’s use of literal fascist, accelerationist, and Neo-Nazi Telegram propaganda, aesthetics, and memes — incoming

These programs weren't set up this way simply for the benefit of recipients. They are by design also a subsidy for American agriculture. That's the longstanding red-blue, rural-urban political deal of it. Like how they're getting nuked by the trade war, they are cannibalizing their own coalition.

Congrats again to Chief Keyser Söze, whose greatest trick was convincing the world that actual John Roberts doesn't exist. Folks, he wants all of this. It is the game he’s been playing at for 25 years now, since he was busy stealing an election & making sure everyone’s vote wasn’t counted in 2000.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

“I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4′ 10” … And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4’10”. And he looks like he is so mad that he is 4′10″, that he has taken that anger out on at any other population possible.” www.thedailybeast.com/aoc-mocks-sh...

I mean what do we even say at this point? This is the abolition of the free press and first amendment for the “privilege” of reporting on the people’s government currently carrying out extrajudicial executions of random civilians at sea.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries. www.rawstory.com/trump-oregon...

Absolute failure of our system that a federal judge can be “very concerned” about Trump’s unlawful attempt to send troops into a city, but also powerless to stop it. The default should be to protect us from government abuse, not to protect government from temporary inconvenience.

I mean, I guess the answer is that I have to off myself so that Taylor Swift can continue to fly to football games in her private jet. It's alright, it's what capitalism would want.

Hey all! I have some expensive events coming up, and have put together a package of podcasts on Patreon to help me offset those costs. It's available here for just $5, and you get five bonus podcasts and an incredible piece of art from @dirtynerdygirly.bsky.social (18+ feed).

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

you know this guy had to have made a huge number of enemies for oklahoma republicans to want to take him down (serves him right, he sucks)

"We would ask them to hesitate before shooting priests and journalists." @chrisgeidner.bsky.social doing all the work following yet another lawsuit against the federal government in Illinois today, addressing First Amendment freedoms surrounding protests.

Trump is exercising more power for a fake emergency than Lincoln did for a real one.

This is dangerous territory. The state trying to argue they get to decide who's a "real" journalist is how you end up with only fascist propagandists with cameras.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“Multiple current and former JAGs — military lawyers who are members of the judge advocate general’s corps —told CNN that the strikes do not appear lawful.”

If you want to support, but podcasts aren't your jam then you can still support via PayPal at paypal.me/RolloT88 and @Quinn-Larios on Venmo. In full disclosure, one the things this is going to help offset is an upcoming gender confirming surgery.

The answer, once the dust settles and we rebuild our country (literally), is another Convention and the expulsion of theocrats, monarchists, and authoritarians from the new Union.

Right this second I'm mostly okay, but I'm thinking ahead to the end of the month, and I haven't had quite as much work come in as I'd like to be sure I'll make rent at that time. Contact me if you'd like some closed captions made for your videos, or you can still buy my stickers!

The quintessential right wing move of the modern day. Say the most inflammatory shit on social media and then when you're confronted with said inflammatory shit act shocked SHOCKED that anyone would accuse you of anything untoward.

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Our new IRS leader will serve in "a role that does not formally exist"

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people." Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

Yes, I know nothing matters for the One Special Boy, but these new blanket tariffs - like all the other tariffs - are wildly illegal & violate multiple domestic laws <and> multiple international treaties. We should enforce our laws & comply with our treaty obligations.

$60 short on rent and I'm already late today please anything can help

Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!

NEW inside CBS— Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off. “If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.

“They are deliberately blurring the line between speech protected by the First Amendment and violence or other unlawful activity, and they seem to be quite explicitly listing viewpoints that they don’t like as predicates for an all-of-government crackdown."

I know nothing about this game except depression! Going live with @spinningasia.bsky.social at www.twitch.tv/brie_cheddar to play Omori blind! =3=

"I'm not the story, don't lose focus"

Thank you again for everyone trying to donate a kidney for me. I don't have any new updates or anything--they're still working through the list and yeah we are really beginning to run out of time. If you're on the fence but would like to try, get started at iggyland.org Thank you everyone!

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said. Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%. Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

While over 750,000 federal workers go unpaid, moms & kids lose WIC, and millions fear losing healthcare, Trump is golfing on our tax dollars. The predator who shut down the government for power now plays while Americans suffer. #TrumpsHealthcareShutdown

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown the doj was like "idk" the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

ko-fi.com/dreamingnoct... Hiiiii Still trying to meet my goal. Rent is due soon, and I forgot that the payment arrangement for my phone is due today, as is my contribution to the internet bill… Anything at all helps. Thanks so much~

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools. Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in. Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right. Subscribe to support our journalism.

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

This. Immigrants are awesome, and I wish we weren’t so afraid to say it.

This is where Ellington and MacArthur students transfer to buses to get to their schools. The accountability is firmly with @mayorbowser.dc.gov and @dcpublicschools.bsky.social Lewis Ferebee for abandoning kids. Our school choice transit system makes kids vulnerable. www.popville.com/2025/10/hara...
