Welcome to America, where masked and armed federal officials will chase you down if you criticize the President.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

it will never not be a total mindfuck that the world keeps on doing its deranged shit and i am smiling on camera while someone discusses the style guidelines in powerpoint. i’m super today. how are you? was your weekend restful? or exciting. whichever you prefer haha. either can be good haha.

Seeing posts from fellow Ohioans upset that Bluesky is now requiring age verification. That’s how much they managed to slide this in under the radar (in a budget bill), from a statehouse much more conservative than the state’s voters. www.daytondailynews.com/local/ohios-...

i graduated from high school in 2002. 2002 was fucking awful. the music sucked, the games sucked, the fashion sucked, we were going to war everywhere, george w bus had a 90% approval rating, and it was largely all the fault of people who earnestly liked walmart

I never would’ve guessed this guy was an R. 🙄

Ohioans who, correctly, don't want to submit identification to bluesky, this may be useful: https://gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e27b24a83838202908808ad528b3318

Imagine having nostalgia for fucking Walmart or 2002. The stupidity is exhausting.

This is how US politics works. The RW media machine creates an impression or a narrative; Dems gormlessly accept it & begin trying to address it via policy concessions; it never works. People yell at me for "doomerism" or whatever but at this point I just can't imagine what would change this.

Is this all performative? Is it possible to have "good-faith negotiations" with someone who has essentially called for your annihilation?

Look I try not to doomsay or spread panic but this shit is truly and deeply Very Bad for every single trans person in America and unless everyone makes it their mission in life over the next few days to make sure that their reps know that shutting down the government is the correct option here.

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

Friendly reminder to all media this week: The GOP controls both houses of Congress. They can keep the government open with their own votes. It’s their own fecklessness and chaos that REQUIRES Dems to vote for this budget.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

he's got the nuclear codes! those are real things that actually exist! he retweeted a fake ai video of himself announcing that he was rolling out magic medbeds across america!

Kavanaugh: this is fine.

just 12 hours before this a *different* 40 year old Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq shot up a bar in North Carolina www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

Trump deleted his bizarre post featuring an AI video of him endorsing “medbeds,” which raises the question of whether he’s so confused that he thought it was a real video of him talking

Brent Suter’s Tito Francona impression 💀

Truly Kafka-esque and imagine this situation multiplied by hundreds of thousands or millions placed in this uncertainty?

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

Guardian: Stephen Miller, who is directly hightly militarized domestic immigration actions, is also directing foreign military attacks: "At times, his role has superseded that of Marco Rubio, the secretary of state and national security adviser."

we're gonna have to make a choice eventually

I feel naive just writing this, but a president threatening to withhold funding to a city unless it elects his preferred candidate for mayor seems like the sort of thing that shouldn't be legal.

The dope thing about Walmart in 2002 was that it murdered a bunch of small businesses and yet nothing in this video conveys the broken eyes of the greeter who lost his family's hardware store?

I have been on the internet since 1990. Watching this shit come creeping in (which is never about youth safety and always about religious extremist control) fills me with grief.

Lol

The 2025 Cleveland Guardians... 15.5 games out in July. 11 games out in September. Division champions when the season ended.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

That is how you win a division.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You are praising a conman in your own party while simultaneously saying you will fight the conman in The White House. The former is why no one believes you on the later.

I feel like one of the bad signs for Democratic politics is that "we're shutting down part of Congress to protect a dead pedophile" is considered a message too risky to convey

Largest deficits overcome to win division (1969-on) or league (1900-‘68): 2025 Guardians: 15.5 GB 1914 Braves: 15.0 1978 Yankees: 14.0 2012 A’s: 13.0 1995 Mariners: 13.0 1951 Giants: 13.0 h/t @EliasSports

Browns…. Missed FG, 2 dropped passes in a row, short punt returned for touchdown. Comedy of errors.

On Sept 28, the #95Tribe beat the Twins 12-4 in what would be Kirby Puckett's final game. Denny Martinez hit Puckett in the face in the 1st inning, breaking his jaw. Twins rookie Frankie Rodriguez retaliated by hitting Belle with the first pitch of the 2nd inning.

Przeworski says it cleanly, clearly, and convincingly. What then must we do? www.dissentmagazine.org/article/how-...

Death, taxes, & Penn State losing a big game at home.

What an awesome day. College football is the best. So is clinching a playoff birth in MLB.

Guards always do it their way. LFG playoff baseball

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

No political retribution at the FBI, right?

Imagine being one of these incredibly impressive four-stars and being lectured about being a warrior by an alcoholic former weekend cable news host

I don't want to speculate, but you have to think that the hours that Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein spent over lunch in 2017 almost certainly featured one of the most normal conversations of all time.

A Tribe Called Quest are the best live hip hop act of all time.

If you’re a comedian I know who’s doing the RIYADH comedy festival, it’s not too late to drop out. The money you make will poison you. You have fucked up & you can correct the big bad mistake you’re making. Also the ppl I know who are doing it are SO WILDLY RICH already. Christ.
