Krugman for the win, AGAIN! paulkrugman.substack.com/p/bulging-bi...

Seriously Angus? Now you're taking your guidance not just from Josh Hawley but from John Fetterman? Sigh.

Amen.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

What’s going on at Quantico today is truly terrifying. 😳

There's nothing funny Trump's speech, it's just chilling dread. Just because he sounds and looks like an idiot, instead of looking menacing and wearing a weird moustache, it's still very dangerous and should be taken a lot more seriously than it is. Same for Hegseth's speech.

Seen on my morning walk today, sigh. We are up against some mighty angry forces.

I want to throw up.

Getting ready for our Oct 18 No Kings 2 event here in Waterville: "Justice, Democracy, & the Future for Our Children." Started making a display! More to come.... Let's defend our schools, teachers, young people, school boards, libraries...& democracy too. Join us! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Another beautiful day in Waterville for defending democracy! I am so grateful to these intrepid pro-democracy folks who just keep coming out for justice, decency, rule of law. Thank you everyone!! ❤️

New interview! On the GOP and the DOJ, the Comey indictment, and why Trump keeps getting what he wants www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1bp...

The best way that we can protect the First Amendment rights under attack by this administration is to exercise the First Amendment rights under attack by this administration. That is why we must make the upcoming No Kings Day the single largest day of peaceful protest in modern American history.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Great article by Adam Serwer, on the "chicken sh*t" capitulation of those who should be using their wealth, power, & status to protect us against these authoritarian bullies. "The people, it turns out, are far more courageous than their leaders." Truth. RESIST 🖇

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECaq... The president of Finland, Alexander Stubb, at the UN on Sept. 24, 2025. (20 minutes.) What a contrast with the hideous ramble inflicted on the General Assembly by our vile narcissist and national embarrassment.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.

Is the comment referring to Trump’s speech? 🙄

Isn’t there a big UN hook there can use to drag this hideous orange fool away from the mic? 😳

100% agree! They should walk out. How much more of this crap is he going to spew?

I am so ashamed, as an American and just as a person, to have this monstrosity masquerading as a fellow human being and also pretending to be the president of my country. Ugh.

Thank you!

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... GO MAMDANI, GO!! (And please, stay safe!)

If you take health advice from a serial philandering mummified ham who likes to swim in shit, then you will rapture yourself ❤️

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Zoe Gardiner, "The saddest thing I've heard about Trump's visit, is that he is going to get his golden carriage ride, but in private, because the great British public would have given him the rotten tomato treatment if he dared to show his face in public"

Just a few pix from our great turnout at Tesla Tuesday in Waterville today. Thanks everyone! ❤️
