New insult to life itself just dropped

BREAKING: Tremane Wood, who was moments away from being executed for a killing his brother admitted to committing, received a last minute clemency grant from Gov. Kevin Stitt www.huffpost.com/entry/treman...

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

Having lived through two cat 5 Caribbean hurricanes: Jamaica will require aid for years. The devastation's hard to overstate. This is our new norm under climate change. Infra like elec/water will be disrupted for weeks for critical locations, months for residents. DO NOT DONATE TO USA RED CROSS.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

I need to say this. The fascist PRETEND they don't know who receives SNAP in the U.S. They actually do know and they lie because they need to paint an alternate reality of who is "benefiting"

I’m going to need well to do people to remember that unhoused people, disabled and sick people, recovering people, survivors, etc are not feel-good or learning opportunities for your kids. They’re not traditions for the holidays. They are people, and if you can’t treat them that way, stay away.

I LOVE BABIES!!!!!! 😩😩😩😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can confirm.

To the famous Bluesky, the least you can do for Gaza and its people is to make their voices heard and louder and help them rebuild their lives.

"There isn't a reasonable scenario where we grant some rich people control over the planet's thermostat and everything turns out fine." My latest:

Despite this apparent victory for the paramilitary group, the besieged city of el-Fasher's status has not changed.

"Morgan County Commissioners approved nearly 400 acres for a data center’s development in February but couldn’t say who the developer was because they signed nondisclosure agreements. Despite resident protests, it approved 158 more acres for the development this month."

so i often feel as if the West hasnt seen true african american art unless race is a primary context (which is mostly a politic and not a proper exploration of self romanticism)

British Library staff are out on strike from Monday 27 October until Sunday 9 November over pay: please do not undermine their action by attending this exhibition (or any other events at the BL) during that time. www.museumsassociation.org/museums-jour...

Folks are asleep at the wheel as this has been taking place for years and is now speeding up

They also have videos of AI black women on TikTok trying to use EBT in places it’s not accepted and getting belligerent . It’s always black women. Black people first in these attempts to spread stigmas and and create a narrative 😑

“The strike is set to begin on 2 November, a date with historical resonance marking the anniversary of the 1917 Balfour Declaration, when the UK granted official support for zionist settler colonialism in Palestine.”

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.

Tomorrow. D.C. The National Mall. Sunup to sundown.

Let's talk about the grotesque Führerprinzip sweeping Republican institutions. With receipts. This is one of my favorite documents from the Reagan Library: a White Paper prepared for him that led up to one of the ideas he was most impassioned about, a "North American Free Trade Area."... 1/x

I saw The Simpsons movie at a drive in. It was a supremely forgettable experience.

If you donated to Platner via ActBlue, you can get a refund! Contact them NOW and ask for your money back!

Stephen Miller tells ICE agents they have federal immunity while “fulfilling their duties” He told them that no city, state or individual can stop them from doing their job He’s green lit violence & chaos When the President and his secret police force both have immunity, the people are in trouble

Yeah man, they want poor people to die. I don't think they could be yelling that message any louder right now.

If your values don't apply to everyone, they're not your values. They're just a favor you do for people that you like.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Please contribute if you're able or share the original if you're not. Note that the most effective way to get help for people is to directly ask people you know

NDAs ???? Man wrap this up www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

what the actual hell www.orartswatch.org/nonprofits-b...

Israeli occupation forces detonate residential homes in the eastern areas of Gaza City.

this is the telling thing about all the billionaire hysteria they would literally rather set more money on fire propping up the most uncharismatic sex pest who ever lived than they’d pay in additional taxes these are not serious people

While I would appreciate the traditional birthday gift of a free Palestine and Sudan, I’ll be happy if you sent a few dollars to @designer4hasand.bsky.social instead. www.gofundme.com/f/help-duaas...

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair. What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

man some of you guys have the survival instinct of a fucking water balloon 1. Platner is probably going to drop out 2. This almost certainty isn’t going to be the worst thing that come out if he stays in

New Yorkers look out for New Yorkers. Tonight. Foley Square. 6pm.

Please share & give to help Mohammed's family survive the aftermath of 2 yrs of Israel's genocide as the bombing & starvation continues. They're left homeless & with nothing, & are in urgent need of funds for food, healthcare, shelter (no donations for 12 days):

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Report from Newport, OR, population just under 11K. Estimated 1200 people out to protest. Reporter says part of what brought people out was ICE disappearing a local guy off the street in broad daylight. “The whole town is upset about it.”

Remember: what them people want to say about the shutdown is none of your business. Block and keep it moving.
