To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Someone at some point will figure out when exactly this happened… but we have completely normalized psychosis. Trump. Stephen Miller. Speeches that were completely unhinged from reality. Delusional. Psychotically paranoid.

Well worth reading. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o... Quote below is from Jamelle Bouie.

Covid is gonna shape American politics for years and years because it was the first time most Americans were asked to make sacrifices and they lost their minds because of it.

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Jimmy Kimmel’s show wasn’t suspended because of comments about Charlie Kirk. Major media like the NYT keep saying that, but Kirk was just a pretext. In July, when Kirk was still alive, Trump reacted to the cancellation of Colbert’s show by saying “Jimmy Kimmel is next.” it’s not about Kirk.

Stephen is the best

This is amazing & wonderful & every person who cares & tries & upholds priciples of democracy is doing the exact right thing.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

This is absolutely batshit insane. Corporations are aiding and abetting an authoritarian president and demolishing free speech while that same president and his party hypocritically claim to be free-speech champions. ABC is supine in the face of absurd bullying.

US building codes effectively create chicken coops for people, and apartments are a terrible substitute for detached housing single stair addresses this. you get homes that are more comparable to living in a townhouse or ranch house. homes that cross ventilate. abundant daylight.

"This type of language spurs on depraved people, deranged people who who take that as a cue." Right, Speaker Johnson?

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

Classic Redford. #RIP 💔 @faroutmagazine.co.uk

Robert Redford was a good actor, an excellent director (an Oscar for his brilliant debut Ordinary People), a meaningful storyteller and a fine man who cared about the health of our planet. RIP.

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

This needs to stop. We need to shout this shit down

Just a giant of a man. 💔

This is the most important thing right now and we all should read it as many times as necessary until it sinks in.

POS Appreciate the question though

Just so everyone can follow along: The MAGA beef against @karenattiah.bsky.social is that she said Kirk said this:

This is fascinating. So many thoughts. I'll wait to talk about it for a few hours. Except I won't wait to repost it, or it will be lost to the deep, dark pool of online content.

Yes, what we all need is for the FBI to give play-by-play social media postings about it's every investigative move. As Dwight Schrute would say: "FALSE"

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Oh. Over the past 48 hrs, Gov Cox was as sad & angry as he has ever been. Funny, for me, that was June 14, 2025. That was political violence too. That day contained even more political violence & death than Sept 10. It's all bad but we didn't hear much about it across the political spectrum.

I need a cigarette after listening to this

thank god we’re all against political violence

Research!

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Note, a lot of people got the Laura Loomer tweet screen cap from me. I just want to clarify that it continued. Here's the whole thing.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves. I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct. I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

When you see the context of the other pages, Trump’s birthday message looks even worse.

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

This Wednesday, September 10, Our Trees will feature an explanation of the science of autumn colors. Meanwhile, the administration and Republican party are working to destroy the capabilities of science in the US and a over the world. Read about it here and help reverse this disastrous decline.

From Princeton Professor of Politics and International Affairs, @jshapiro.bsky.social.

Government not by fact but by ideology. Always a disaster because officials try to make reality fit their vision. Lysenkoism in the USSR, which tried to change the laws of nature, created famines that killed tens of millions of people in the USSR and China.

I know it sounds mad but if you had regular exposure to trees and sunlight and started reading again for pleasure, it would heal you.
