Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I'm grateful that when I was a teenager "masculinity" seemed like it was more about taking gargantuan amounts of Es and dancing to beeping sounds in a random location for 24 hours at a time, rather than watching Ben Shapiro videos and getting really angry about women being in Star Wars.

In some ways, the regime half-assedly tearing off part of the White House without regard for construction protocols might have more of an impact on the offline folks than the past ten months.

The people who build their heaven on your land are telling you that yours is in the sky. - Nina Simone Pic of the day #photography

By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th. Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one? Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

Can someone good at economy tell me if it’s good that this thing that has consumed more investment than the interstate highway system is incapable of providing any kind of economic return

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Being late to everything means you’re a bad person. A key narcissistic personality trait: letting other people know they and their time are not important compared to whatever you feel like doing at a given moment.

If you’re not repurposing Guantanamo Bay to house Stephen Miller, don’t bother running.

Did you witness anybody snapping their fingers or calling for trigger warnings at a No Kings rally? CBS News wants to hear your story. by Bari Weiss

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are. You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends. We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal. There is no rational justification for such a deployment. It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

I do think letting Nixon walk led to letting the Iran Contra leaders walk which led to letting the financial scammers walk which led to the insurrection leaders walking. A lot of this in the name of unifying the nation while the perpetrators retooled and got worse.

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

🔥 @vicmensa.bsky.social : “I see a lot of you still drinking the kool-aid of racial division… The same motherf**kers running detention centers own private prisons (Core Civic & Geo Group). They maxed out Trump’s campaign, and they’re making billions from this, bruh. Be informed.”

@schumer.senate.gov actually being surprised that rank-and-file establishment Republicans think and talk like Nazis is a big part of why these Nazis have power now. bsky.app/profile/schu...

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

Pam Bondi REFUSES to answer if the FBI found photographs of Donald Trump with "half-naked women" in their Epstein investigation.

1. Clearly Homan kept the $50,000 (alleged) bribe money. 2. You think he declared it on his taxes? No way. 3. Democrats should say now that there will be a full investigation once they're back in power, and if Homan committed tax evasion he'll be going to prison.

Good morning! You feel like you’re going crazy because their attempts to bludgeon you into submission with weaponized unreality aren’t working on you. Keep it up. You’re doing great.

They imagine a swing voter as a cross-pressured moderate who will be persuaded by whatever side seems most reasonable, when the reality is most swing voters aren’t paying attention to policy debates and only wake up for sensational controversies that cross over into mainstream discourse

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Their whole point is to smash up functioning government and use the spoils to terrorize everyone, while installing a state based on mafia-style patronage. Don't give them more tools. Don't fund the terror.

perhaps instead of cowering under a blanket labeled "health care," democrats should respond and advance on the issues that move people. this, of course, would require a foundation of conviction and principle, which may be asking too much of the party's leadership and strategists.

The UAE obtained access to advanced AI chips after it purchased $2 billion of Trump's cryptocurrency—alarming security experts. When I tried to explain this to a Missouri focus group, I was greeted with blank stares. Finally, after a long silence, one member asked if anyone involved was trans.

Call for his removal from office under the 25th Amendment. Try that for a change. Or just simply display any will to fight whatsoever.

I don't agree that Dem leaders should come to an agreement with Republicans on a promise that the R leaders won't immediately go back on budget agreements. They have proven they will lie, and then do what they want a week later anyway. It must be documented or it doesn't exist

It’s frustrating when fascists have enough support that to maximally oppose them you have to be satisfied being the “everyone else” party and unite on “fuck the fascists.” I get the frustration. It’s still the only way through.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

In Chicago: "...journalists being shot intentionally with bean bags, chemical munitions and at least one working journalist being taken into custody." blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/29/i...

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Again, Dems could make this their shutdown demand: that government funding be accompanied by laws constraining ICE and requiring it not use Latino ethnicity as a criterion for detention. "You can't jail someone for being Latino." But instead, they're vaguely fighting for "healthcare subsidies."

No one will be surprised by this. Zero out of nineteen Senate candidates said they would endorse Schumer for leader.

Ezra Klein has been speaking a lot on red states and rural Democrats and here’s the thing…he shouldn’t. He has no idea what he’s talking about.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are going to shut down the United States government so they do not have to release the Epstein files. Shutting our government down, hurting Americans, to protect pedophiles. How this isn’t the biggest scandal in American history is beyond me.

Maybe I missed it. Has the Democratic leader of the Senate posted on social media or made a statement about the Comey indictment yet?

It’s so depressing watching the dumbest people in America drive this country into a ditch …. Again

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

The most important aspect of this Tylenol debacle, is that the President raped children.

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

It’s amazing that Dems don’t see that their base has totally lost confidence in leadership and therefore some heads need to roll in leadership to restore confidence *even if* behavior does not significantly change. It’s genuinely elitism.

NEW: Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has been accused by family members of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren. Elon has repeatedly had to intervene, a secret that’s spanned generations. Our months-long investigation www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...
