I love a good taxi doily.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

There must be a tipping point where it goes from a disordered narcissist who lies all the time to an addled dementia patient being manipulated by his handlers in a criminal case of elder abuse. But the end result is the same—insane garbage being spouted in the service of fascism.

The Kyoto IVF clinic is, naturally, located above a FamilyMart.

Kyoto beige.

Kyoto nights.

Kyoto green (with dog salon).

Japan gray.

They know how to prune a tree in Japan.

Kyoto subway, neat as a pin. Not one bit of graffiti, not one piece of gum, not one mystery stain.

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

One of my favorite places in the world.

Washington, Oregon, California.

Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you. And the worst of you know exactly who you are and what you've done to trash the American experiment in self-governance. All of you greedheaded simpletons should die from fulminant boils and unrelenting ass cancer. You're right. That felt real. Thanks.

Charge them with attempted murder.

Welcome to the new forever war. Where are enemies are secret, the evidence is invisible, and laws don’t matter.

The inability to simply say "no" to this question is jaw-dropping.

Folks need to understand that when Trump says blue cities are burning down his supporters believe it cause that’s what Fox has been telling them for years, and no objective reality can penetrate that bubble. Otoh most normal people think that kind of talk is bonkers.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

To recast an evil like murder on the open seas as an act of kindness is vile and deranged. This is the logic of fascism, death camps, genocide.

I don’t mean to overreact or anything, but this is the commander-in-chief telling military personnel that Democrats are a problem to be dealt with.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Hell yes.

5AM taxi-SLC-LAX-NRT-Ginza Line-Asakusa Station. Goodbye America, maybe I come back.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

The United States continues to murder people at sea in the Caribbean, both a war crime and an absolute evil that we would condemn if any other nation did it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

So the U.S. government made a huge show about the alleged threat posed by TikTok's Chinese ownership.... Meanwhile a major American military contractor owned by Elon Musk has quietly accepted direct and indirect investment from China.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

Dave’s thread making a great analogy about the emotional dynamics of American politics is making the rounds again. He’s right of course.

The answer to this question is because we don’t want to let people die in the streets. That answer satisfies decent people. It doesn’t satisfy fascists like Vance.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?

It's becoming clear that this is not an administration that is popular or skilled enough to do the consolidation needed to implement actual fascism, so they've decided that constantly creating fascism-flavored content is good enough

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

Folks, don’t go to Russia.

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

Really the only question that matters

This project has been going on my entire life.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women. Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted. And everyone in that room knows it.
