I hope that very soon these ghouls feel the terror they have created in families and especially children. How do they sleep at night?

Loved it in college (1987). Still a great song now.

Pet Shop Boys’ “It’s A Sin” is such a great song and Video.

Pam Bondi’s testimony in front of the Senate was both contemptuous and dismissive. She is supposed to work for the country not just the President.

The grift continues... apple.news/AvkrU4C7JRQu...

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way. This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

Damn. We live this. 😔

Here is what I found…apparently it’s not just one cousin! www.newsweek.com/stephen-mill...

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period. We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

This is it. #Itoldyouso www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

I want this smug liar brought to justice one day.

Thanks, New Yorker

We appreciate you Senator Warren. Always working hard for working people and families. ♥️

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

About time.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

The Puerto Rican singer-songwriter addressed the audience in Spanish and called his upcoming performance an “accomplishment.”

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels. I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them. Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy. Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5). An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 (🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

Abolish ICE. Pass it on.

That’s our timeline.

Thy learn what they live. 😔

A federal judge on Saturday blocked the Trump administration from using Oregon National Guard soldiers in response to nightly protests at an ICE building in Portland, Oregon.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Constitutional checks on power is not terrorism. First Amendment protected free speech is not terrorism. Criticism is not terrorism. The right of the people to peacefully assemble and address grievances toward their government is not terrorism. Speak truth to power. Always.

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

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

This is his entire political strategy.

Do Trump voters realize that he lied about almost everything on the campaign trail? He deliberately mislead voters to get their votes, and had no intention of following through from the jump? Does this change the maga mind or are they too entrenched to change course now?

"Trump, ICE, and Kristi Noem won't even follow the Geneva Conventions when it comes to their fellow Americans." Kat Abughazaleh

Today I got enraged by a comment I saw. Someone had been studying Buddhism, but they were also a Christian. They are asked the question, “Can I be Buddhist and a Christian?” Someone answered, “Absolutely not. They are not compatible.” YOU DON’T NEED PERMISSION. DO WHAT YOU WANT.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

A judge approved class certification Thursday for more than 60,000 immigrants with temporary protected status who claim that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s recent orders ending the program were unlawful and motivated by racial animus. @mhattridge.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/judge-oks-na...

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

MAGA wants power. We want progress. 💥 Mikie Sherrill & Abigail Spanberger are the tough, brilliant leaders ready to crush GOP chaos & fight for our future. Read & share their story. the resistance is female & it’s fierce! #VoteNJ #VoteVA open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

The American Gestapo is dragging Americans out of bed and handcuffing them with no warrant to try to convince you that brown people are hurting you rather than the truth which is that white male child rapists are selling America for parts to oligarchs and don’t care who gets stomped. #GOPFascism
