Obama on the blatantly illegal use of the US military as an intimidation tactic. As usual he is extremely thoughtful and precise in this wide ranging interview. His takeaway message: 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗨𝗣 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗠 🔥 youtu.be/Hb2rKGfIOrM?...

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.* You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

It’s vile and disgusting and wreaks of antisemitism and racism.

It is to the shame of all the male reporters in the room that they do not immediately leave

"The richest man in the world and the owner of the most influential social media site in US politics is a nazi who openly supports and amplifies other nazis" would, on its face, seem to be rather newsworthy!

The vice president of the United States is a clownish dipshit, Exhibit 64,532

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California. California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

I once wondered how seemingly normal, decent people could be persuaded to commit acts of extreme cruelty & violence against fellow citizens. It couldn’t happen here, I thought. The cruelty and inhumanity of ICE agents have changed my mind. We have in our midst the making of American atrocities.

NEW: In the most significant action against brutal scam compounds in Southeast Asia to date, US and UK officials have sanctioned the alleged operators of more than 10 scam centers in Cambodia. 146 entities linked to the Prince Group have been sanctioned—and $15 billion of crypto seized

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish: "This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

CBS aired a segment by Olivia Reingold—a reporter for the Weiss-founded Free Press—in which NYPD officers are worried about Mamdani, with some “considering retiring.” The evidence? Four unnamed officers quoted out of ~33,000. The story is thinly sourced, fearmongering, tabloid drek. trib.al/hfqsrL0

There are worse things that Trump has done, but I don't know that any judicial appointment has been more of a middle finger to the legal system and the rule of law than Bove's appointment.

Truly abhorrent and a mockery of the rule of law that Emil Bove is a federal judge.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

As the Trump shutdown drags into its third week, it's clear Republicans are so committed to raising people's health care costs that they're willing to hold the country hostage to do it.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform? Is it...requesting content moderation?

This is the event I am talking about. Who and where is she? bsky.app/profile/thet...

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

The search on Mar-a-Lago happened in August 2022. Jack Smith was appointed Special Counsel in November 2022. Time, how does it work

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

This is basically what a [Brett] Kavanaugh Stop looks like: Cops roll up on brown person, demand papers, penalize them for not having them. This became the law of the land in that shadow docket decision. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/13/i...

Trump is losing his "war within" America, so he's looking for a weaker target.
