I see people on social media who have gotten their feelings hurt sometimes continue to lash out online and I wish I could reach across the screen and just say: "I see that you are hurt and you need to log off now."

They could have perp walked Trump, multiple times, for multiple offenses. They could have convicted him in the Senate, as a bipartisan majority of senators voted to do. When you decide not to pursue justice, this is the result.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road. "Just trying to grab some lunch and these fucking losers showed up. FUCK ICE!" source: www.reddit.com/r/LoganSquar...

"they dont like it. they consider it welfare." but theyre going to take it right? like, they are still going to take the money being offered in their time of need?

ICE just gassed a group a civilians near the Rico Fresh supermarket intersection on Armitage in Chicago - bystanders say this was in response for being heckled from the street.

Next year, a lot of folks are going to see their premiums go up $1,000 or more per month because of a Republican policy. If you start having to pay $1,000 extra every month, what will you stop being able to afford? This is what Democrats are fighting to stop.

Powerful speech that everyone should give a few moments towards listening.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 3: Earl Manigault When he stepped onto the court, the world watched. No one dunked harder or jumped higher. But the GOAT never made it pro. There are countless NYC stories like his. Brilliant talents lost to drugs or crime. It doesn’t have to be this way.

This series is just so beautiful. I love you, NYC. Let's do this.

😭 “It’s time we all make it.” 💙 Amen 👏🏽👏🏽💙💙🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The Marineland park near Niagara Falls has asked the Canadian government for emergency funding to feed and care for its whales, saying euthanasia is otherwise imminent.

"if we’re going to sign on to a full year budget, that budget has to have constraints on the corruption and the illegality. We cannot sign onto a full-year budget that basically puts a bipartisan imprimatur—a bipartisan endorsement of the illegality."

there's really a point where i genuinely fear for my own immortal soul, because even as i oppose this administration, i still am a part of this polity and am guilty of its sins

🍿

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

Wow… I never would have thought I’d get a shooting star with Aurora but last night blew away my expectations. We had such bright and tall pillars out here near Omaha Nebraska. I love this shot so much 🥹

Area Under Vines in the European Union in 2020; as % of total utilized agricultural area.

At one point this guy is like “I’m not arguing the merits of it, but the politics” and why the fuck not dude?! Maybe the problem with the media is that you’re NOT ARGUING THE MERITS OF IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR NOT

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance. "If I give in and consent to these kinds of tactics then it just normalizes it all." 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

"In a brief phone call, Posobiec said he was unavailable to speak. He did not reply to a list of emailed questions."

This 🧵captures something that has been in my awareness in various forms since I immigrated to the US & 1st learned about Af-Am history in 7th grade: the fight for equality by any one group carries a lot of lessons for all us on how be "better"--here, how to engage in effective public communication.

I say it all the time, but imma say it again: a lot of very book smart people lack the emotional education and communication skills that would allow them to generate the courage they want to embody in their work. They are incurious about their own emotional lives, and consequently, those of others.

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

The Supreme Court begins its new term next week. The coming months will test what's left of its credibility. bit.ly/4757OJq

There are so many jobs thanks to Trump that there is no need to report on them, in fact they can't report on them because the machine that counts the jobs blew up because there were so many jobs, no one's ever seen anything like it! Big strong jobs with tears in their eyes saying "Thank you sir".

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Seen this afternoon in Central Park: a bald eagle!!! This eagle flew right above me while I was biking back home through Central Park, and then perched on a tree by the East Drive a bit below the 79th St traverse. I don't usually do any birding on my way home but I had to stop for this! 🪶 #birds

THIS IS WHY WE VACCINATE If you didn’t know, the “P” in TDAP is for pertussis aka whooping cough. Babies and young children have minimal or no protection from this. We vaccinate because we want others to live.

We held our third town hall last night in Rockport, Maine – Population: 3,644. When we booked the venue six weeks ago, we were looking for somewhere with space for 35 to 50 people. Imagine our surprise when over 900 people showed up to hear how we're going to defeat Susan Collins.

I just can't stop thinking about this Gestapo raid in Chicago. My worst nightmare is someone breaking down my door in the middle of the night and hauling me out in zip ties. THIS HAPPENED. THEY HELD HIM FOR 3 HOURS! We shouldn't have to live like this!

No withhold federal dollars. You and @govpritzker.illinois.gov need to make it happen during these shut down. If they want to target blue states then cut off their dollars.

It’s time—- US states to start holding onto their federal tax money. There’s no reason to send it to Washington anymore.

Idk about anyone else but these days I go out of my way to try and smile at people in public.

Do you know the difference between the National Guard and ICE? The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.

Time for Blue States to stop paying Federal Income Tax.

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate. Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

This should be a truly massive scandal in the Jewish world. Obviously, many of us knew and assumed this was occurring, but the proof is now out there and it needs to be called out. We have US-based influencers pretending to speak for themselves but actually working directly for the Israeli govt.
