Art’s birthday was yesterday, and I post music on Sunday - didn’t want to miss giving him his flowers.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has previously said...that government shutdowns are on the president and all you need to do is get everyone in a room and have a serious conversation. And they're refusing to do that. They are holding people's healthcare hostage."

It would seem that the Alpha Males wouldn't much like their sperm counts being decimated and their member going limp from chemical crap in their food and drinking water, but I guess that's attributing too much intelligence...

All facts

Morning.

so it IS like Germany yes of course Jews were targeted eventually, but the first concentration camps were built for German dissenters & 'antifa' nazis went after immigrants and dark skinned people too.. half their victims

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them. Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp. They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

This is very good! #politics #resist

Unmask all Ice and Pretend Ice!

I largely took the weekend away from social media. I'm on a 1 Nov deadline for a book draft and I decided to decompress a bit. Back to the mines.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has indicated that he wants to do something about [ACA subsidies], and he wants the government open. Well, we want this fixed and we want the government open. So why is there a problem here?"

Let’s do this 💪

Truth.🇺🇸

The truth about the administration’s threat federal employees won’t get paid when shutdown ends. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Man, I fucking hate ICE.

As I got to know them, they gave me a $400m plane. @acyn.bsky.social

I met with staff from the Storehouse Food Bank in Covington to hear about how the shutdown has impacted local demand for food resources across our communities. Thank you for all of the great work you do and the services you provide.

The economy is increasingly reliant on the wealthiest 10%. (via MS) @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Out of shape goon squad 🤣

The so-called peace President has doubled the government expenditure for pepperballs and non-lethal rounds to be used against Americans exercising their First Amendment Rights. #NoKings

Wait. What? Did she go sane after hitting her head at CrossFit?

Loomer and MTG are currently acting out because they were excluded from the inner circle, they believed they were leading. They were merely useful idiots for him in various formats.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number. n.pr/4obbfnK

Unsure how many times I have to repeat it, but health care shouldn’t be for-profit.
