The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Abolish ICE. You cannot reform the Gestapo once its become that.

I really think we need to reconceptualize this shutdown as the last stand for the rule of law and Art I. Bring it to default if that’s what it takes. If Congress can’t assert the power of the purse, we are in “move to Portugal” territory of screwed.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Excellent turn of phrase!! Truly there is nothing more American than destroying itself over something this stupid!

Also a reminder these weren’t “Kids”! Some of these “Young Republicans,” which includes ages up to 40, were elected officials or government appointees.

The scary part to me is how it exposes how they think of others It’s projection They feel so sensitive about being disliked and see it as persecution… Because they believe people they dislike should be persecuted And they happily dislike people for their race/ gender/ bodies

Like the internet is mostly composed of Black Culture, Sex worker culture, folks searching for information and people profiting from erasing that and justifying their reasons for projecting out and around those people than listening

the gutting of the national center for health statistics should be considered its own five alarm fire

portland continues to serve up a protest that confuses the feds and totally disrupts the false narrative they're pushing via propaganda channels...

So. Al capone had dementia caused by syphilis In his last days, he was obsessed with having conversations with rivals he had already murdered or people who had otherwise already died He had hallucinations and was focused on death, dying, and dying in peace Just an FYI

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

I think of this image a lot

I miss fall weather!! I am sitting outside my aunt and uncle’s house in Bismarck ND and enjoying 64 degree weather, sunny and breezy. Beautiful!

@moonpanther22.bsky.social Warms the heart!

THIS is how you treat n*z1s in public. Make this behavior completely unacceptable!

The California Senate killed a reform expanding affirmative defenses for domestic violence survivors convicted of harming their abusers. The state Assembly passed it by a large margin in June.

This is the first compelling argument I've seen to upgrade and it's coming from some of my favorite progessives. 😭😭

Not surprising from a guy who's in the Epstein Files. A source of vulnerable kids for those who want to take advantage www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

A Republican representative was elected in a special election recently and Johnson swore him in the very next day. Democrat is elected in a special election and oh we need to wait for all the counting and official certification and oh she's the crucial 218th vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

and every time you use AI, you are justifying the existence of these data centers. you are implicitly agreeing that it's ok to charge these households for the additional power the centers are using.

From the very first cave paintings humans have ached to see themselves reflected in the mirror of consciousness, to pass the world through a prism of common experience and make meaning from the threads of our shared humanity. Our entire economy now hinges on the idea that people don't

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

An important thing that is often ignored about Mamdani: he's cheerful! Taking the city's (and country's) problems seriously doesn't have to mean projecting nothing but darkness and rage. His positive vibe is an unbelievably effective way to make the tent bigger. As is fun/dorky stuff like this.

presumably ICE isn't getting paid during the government shutdown? seems like they're happy to be nazis for free

Someone in Michigan, this boi needs a home!

No aid for a few days, goal from last month wasn’t met, meaning not all basic needs were met. Now I’m facing a militarized crisis in my city, no way to get income if my business shuts due to no sales, and needs STILL not met. I need help, and I really do need it now!

Someone give this scrungly man a home NOW!

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️ They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside. No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡 And people stop caring before truth hits

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

When are we going to reconcile with the fact that Democrats would prefer to lose while marching right than win while marching left?

this isn’t true, but i strongly encourage the president to keep telling the country he’s going to cut off their social security and medicare

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Not just the subsidies are at stake. Language that would ban healthcare facilities that receive federal funds from providing transition care must be expunged. Call your Dem senators and reps and tell them to protect trans people.

Gladys and Olivia. Their owner goes to trial on Wed, Oct 1 at Orange County courthouse in Chelsea, Vermont. Anyone who can attend at 2 PM would be wonderful. Today you see two happy, healthy pigs...a far cry from when they arrived - sick, starving, & desperate for warmth and love.

Best news i’ve heard in a long time! youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

why not opt-in? just ask permission first if this is truly a positive feature then surely copyright holders will be happy to participate and have their work included if asked just ask permission first

If it’s copyrighted material, it seems to me either you can’t use it without running afoul of copyright or you cannot. “This would be infringing except for that we give you an opt-out” is not a thing, that I know of. Your copyright *is* your reservation of rights, you don’t have to say “Even you.”

@deadmeatjames.bsky.social I feel The Look-see from Crypt TV and John Kramer would be friends! What do ya’ll think?

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York. Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

Mormonism is capitalism as religion.

A fucked up thing that capitalism has lied to you about: addiction is a disease. A problem of both mental and physical health. Addicts are self-medicating for things missing in their lives. The biggest of these is community. We cannot thrive by ourselves. We NEED each other.

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

This is a desperation move because they know they're going to lose Congress in the midterms. We are going to win, and THEY know it.

This is how you know this is all run by completely out of touch old people. They have no idea what the internet/social media actually is!!
