Good morning Witnessing this breathtaking autumn sunset reflecting on the water. Nature's artistry truly is unmatched! #AutumnVibes #SunsetLover #NaturePhotography #FallColors #GoldenHour #photography

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

“do not come here. If you harm Oregon residents you will be held accountable” needs to be stated plus legislation to demask ice/military need to be in place

Reporting from America’s latest war zone …

The below post is from CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei yesterday. It comes one day after Chicago journalist Steve Held was detained while covering a protest outside the Broadview immigration facility. Absolutely inexcusable attack perpetrated by an ICE thug. He should be fired immediately! 😡

Dear friends, As have become a habit, I mark each #autumnequinox by sharing a small poem by Xin Qiji. I also start my translation cycle of Chinese and Japanese poems and prose that mark the twenty-four lunisolar micro-seasons. Translation notes blogged here: #everynightapoem

Bringing the U.S. arm of TikTok into the MAGA fold seems like part of Donald Trump’s grand project to concentrate power and rout his perceived enemies, @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

At the American Cornerstone Institute’s Founders’ Dinner, President Trump suggested Joe Biden was undeserving of sympathy amid cancer. He also mocked McCain’s war injuries in 2024 — a cruel pattern fact-checks confirm spans years. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-sugg...

Tapper is too busy prepping his Biden sequel

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it *incredibly* disturbing that the president of the US is very clearly losing his goddamned mind, but most of the media steadfastly refuse to even mention it.

Unfortunately we allowed the media to be consolidated by like 8 billionaires who can't think of anything they'd rather do than usher in fascism.

Wild, our press seemed so incredibly attuned to the cognitive and emotional health of Presidents a mere 433 days ago.

THIS…. Every frickin’ day 🔥🔥🔥

As immigration agents have escalated their tactics, US citizens, many of them Latino men, have been stopped and in some cases taken into custody by law enforcement officers. Allison, Jenny and I took a closer look at the encounters. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

I just watched Gestapo in Chicago see a brown skinned food delivery driver and immediately attempt to arrest them without even speaking to them. The person got away by the skin of their teeth, if they hadn't who knows what ice would do to them. People are disappeared ffs.

79. American citizen.

I'm not in any way "calling for violence" to suggest that future generations are gonna look back at this and ask "how in DAFUQ did a nation with a half a billion guns sit back and just watch this f-cking happen?" I know there are smarter people and better writers here that can phrase that better.

It is reported that two other US citizens were detained for attempting to help her after ICE Trump regime forces dragged her into an alleyway. Activists call for more help, protests, coverage, and an investigation.

Frodo: “I wish it need not have happened in my time." Gandalf: "So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien

And it happened on trump's watch. Over and over again. #maga #gop #republicans #Ukraine

MAGAs are overjoyed these days. Trump has vowed to target those he calls communists and socialists, along with his political enemies. Then he'll start rounding up certain minorities. And MAGAs will not speak out while these things happen, except to cheer him on.

It might become the largest GoFundMe account in history….. #bluesky

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

Why is there all this fear of AI? Look what a mess human intelligence has made of the world. Give the machines a chance. And please note I am hereby pledging my loyalty to our coming machine overlords.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

I’ve just been looking at the new YouGov poll which shows Reform just 15 seats away from a Parliamentary majority. This is a horrifying and scary result. Labour and LibDem have four years to get their act together. Heaven help us, I even hope that the Tories can rise from their death bed.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I’m sorry, I can’t do rapture today. I just watched Godfather one and Godfather two(again) and want to watch Godfather Coda(again).

Do we get to rapture here in Brit-land? Or is it like everything else that starts in America and we get a few years later? Just like you’ve got number one asshole Trump and we’ve now got the mini-Trump arsehole Farage. Although Trump is aiming to be a dictator and Farage is already a dick.

🤷🏼

Some of us do.

Oh my dear friends in the United States, how I feel for you when you are shamed in front of the world at the United Nations. The blame lies with those who voted for Trump and those who did not vote for Kamala Harris. You were once great, now you have my deepest sympathies.

Wow.

👺Whatever happened to Anonymous?👺

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

Stephen Miller’s speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial was essentially plagiarized. See if you can spot the similarities. The Storm is Coming by Joseph Goebbels (1932)

Signs of the Times

This is such a weird thing to say at a memorial for a self-identified Christian.

Reluctantly, I agree. We need to draw the line, otherwise Russia will just push further.

Trump is so vain that he wants to make it ILLEGAL to make fun of him. It really is the definition of pathetic. @jamellebouie.net nails it, as always.

I long for the days when insane conspiracy theories were something that we could all share and have a good laugh. Not even Dan Brown or Robert Ludlum could have imagined the actions of the Trump administration. We are now through the looking glass and living in Trump‘s diseased and addled brain.
