New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️ They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside. No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡 And people stop caring before truth hits

The entirety of this administration can be summed up by a show I was on for NatGeo Explorer in 2016 where Gavin McInnes tried to peddle his brand of alt-right bullshit, and I told him flat out “if you believe in rule of the strong, throw your coffee mug at me and see what happens” He declined.

Nine months ago, we launched our campaign--and promised that, after an engaged set of conversations, we would hit the road to share what we have learned. That starts this Sunday-with stops from Pueblo to Greeley to Grand Junction to Durango. Come join us. philforcolorado.com/our-next-cha...

When I say kidnapped, I mean that Israel is, according to international law, currently abducting citizens of multiple countries including multiple elected representatives of European countries, Israel’s ‘allies’.

30 boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla remain steadfast, just 46 nautical miles from Gaza, despite relentless hostility from the Israeli navy. The Israeli navy has intercepted 13 boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla so far.

#CompleteTheCount! #MinCup25 was hit by hundreds of votes in the final moments of the campaign and we won't know who won until every vote can be verified. Hopefully they are all legit votes. If anyone voted by bot - they are the worst. This is a fun annual event and cheating would be a waste of

Italy’s largest union just announced a general strike in protest of the stoppage of the Sumud Flotilla!

As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board: “The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”

One US citizen, Leila Hegazy, has already been kidnapped in an act of piracy by the State of Israel. Please call the State Department's Overseas Hotline at 1-888-407-4747. They are currently answering the phone. #GlobalSumudFlotilla #Gaza www.instagram.com/reel/DPRycrc...

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Suspected Israeli military vessels are a mere couple of miles from the Global Samud Flotilla. Israel has promised to break international law and intercept this humanitarian mission attempting to break the siege of Gaza. Eyes on the flotilla livestream. www.youtube.com/live/uEN2bWF...

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

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.

Hatch act. Cough. Cough.

“My jaw dropped when I read it,” says an SBA employee who asked to remain anonymous because they are not authorized to speak to the press. The employee says they worried that if someone actually used the email template, it “would be a blatant violation of the Hatch Act.” Read now:

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

"Eat God" is live on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pen... Be a blue-furred social justice advocate with detachable limbs, a many-eyed horror with strong opinions about metaphysics, or a jet-powered telepathic crab and stick it to the Man though the power of gratuitous cartoon violence.

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

I would say tugtupite is more pink than red, but it's reindeer blood so I'm calling it close enough to Red vs Blue again. May the best mineral lose. Vote: www.mineralcup.org/2025/vote/r5... (And you should read Time War!) #MinCup25 #Tugtupite #Kyanite @amalelmohtar.com @maxgladstone.bsky.social

If you’ve got an extra screen that isn’t doing anything right now, throw on the Sumud flotilla livestream and play it in the background. The more eyes on it the better, even if only passively.

Wow. #MinCup25 rookie #Tugtupite has so many emotional advantages over hardened (not Mohs-wise) veteran desert queen #Dioptase. It’s like it got designed when an elementary school class got asked “What do you want in a mineral?” Pink! Changes color! Glows! Electric powers! Mythical reindeer blood!

🌌💖 #MinCup25 …Let's go!!! 🔪🩸🩸 It's finally the Age of #Kyanite!!! She's tasted blood already! Nothing can stop her now - not even the glory that's the Reindeer Girl's light show of a daughter, pretty pink Princess Tugtupite! She should've sliced "meat rock" last year…Let's fix that past mistake!

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and the House. This government shutdown is failed Republican leadership on full display.

I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Wrote about some failures of major media orgs to meet this moment with a few recent truly head-scratching examples.

I Like Dioptase, but #tugtupite is just the cooler mineral. Not only because it is from #Greenland... but it has so many striking features. beautiful red reversible Color change! florescence, posphorescence! Contains Be (hey, team #poison) one of the rarest stable Elements. Vote #tugtupite !!!

Vote for #tugtupite Reindeer blood ftw

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

Every woman veteran that you know is probably raging deeply tonight. Because we all had to serve next to that guy, that toxic masculinity, barely disguised white nationalist, misogynist to the core, guy-who you-know-raped-somebody-or-held-them-down…

i wrote about this for CNN like 2 years ago. honestly this outcome is even worse than I could have imagined When TikTok becomes X and bans all trans content and algorithmically amplifies nazi shit, the blame will be squarely at the feet of Biden and Senate Dems www.cnn.com/2023/04/16/o...

The perpetual advice to Democrats is that moving rightward will solve all their problems. But look where the party is at the moment: already embracing Republican affect and policies, yet still losing.

Donald Trump basically announces that he is declaring war on anyone he deems a Democrat... and one of the leading Democratic Senators, @blumenthal.senate.gov thinks now is the best time for a bipartisan censorship bill that will let MAGA define what content is allowed on the internet. WTF?

Trump has made it clear he's going to turn TikTok into a right-wing propaganda machines, so it's time to give a big thanks to Democrats - especially Biden, Schumer, and Gillibrand - for working so hard to destroy the one left-leaning social media platform! www.techdirt.com/2025/09/30/t...

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

I am once again asking the Democratic Party to believe this man when he says he wants to declare war on us. If you know anything about how Trump operates, he will always tell you what he wants to do, and then *try and do it*

YES! THIS on GenAI! Please read this absolutely splendid piece of writing that had me cheering, a little bit weepy, and writing in the margins: "An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny."

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I'll put this marker down now: if we go into a shutdown and Dems actually hold the line and don't immediately cave, their poll numbers will go up 90% of the reason their numbers are so low with non-Rs is they've managed exactly zero concrete opposition so far

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

durbin underrated as one of the worst mcclellan democrats in the senate

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15. I'm running for Governor to change that.
