“Mom, what’s for Thanksgiving?” “We’ll find out when we get to the soup kitchen. Jeffrey Epstein’s ballroom isn’t going to pay for itself.”

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.

Congress set aside contingency funds specifically for SNAP food benefits during government shutdowns. California won't sit by while the Trump Administration ignores yet another law.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Another cool blog I know about is skullinthestars.com by @drskyskull.bsky.social (who is very smart and the author of a fun science/phtsics book about cats and is also a great person to follow!)

Sorry, but it *is* unnerving. I agree with @rieckhoff.bsky.social that this idea that the military is Trump's personal muscle, and should kill anyone he points at, should be among the biggest stories in America right now.

Stand with Ukraine!

Love Wanda...

@audacityofdespair.bsky.social I was skeptical about the value of the American Life Partners subscription but listening to you & Ira Glass talk is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

My Dr will praise me for losing weight bc he’s effing obsessed & im going to tell him, “yeah I’ve been DEPRESSED. Happy now?”

Miller: To all ICE GOONS: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who tries to stop you is committing a felony

"Trump promoted a military pay raise of 3.8% for next year, claiming that this was 'something you weren’t getting from the past administration.'" "Military pay increased by 4.6%, 5.2% and 4.5% in 2023, 2024 and 2025... Military raises are automatically determined by a formula set by law."

@reillyrick.bsky.social Got “Commander in Cheat” on audio. Well done. I even wrote a review. Wonder if a second edition is coming - tho it’s more of the same only more so. Loved Who’s Your Caddy btw. Scavino - there’s a piece of work. Loved the Mickelson quote. With LIV we could get a follow-up

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way. Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

On Saturday October 18th, I’m asking you to attend the No King’s March in your local communities. We have witnessed the increasing authoritarianism and its policies in our country. We dissent.

On October 18th — lend your voice, your presence, your conscience to support our freedom and democracy.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Brb, time to give to Wikipedia…

Whew this may be one of the most intense ICE videos yet. A combat vet gets enraged while trying to save someone from arrest www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM58H3MU/

GOOD QUESTION

Microsoft, never stop being you

Brilliant, Trump. Racist AND harmful.

When all of this is finally over, I hope the people who ordered and carried out these extrajudicial assassinations are given the due process they don't believe in before they're punished for murder. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Gotta love a serenade and a bit of shade 🤭🤣 Enjoy 🤣 #SheShed

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Who let the dogs out? 😂 This made my day. I hope it brightens yours. 🫶🏻

Trump administration cut funding floods to Alaskan villages bc “DEI” and now some of those villages have been inundated by floods.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics. That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Episode 2 of my Collateral Damage podcast is out today. Ryan Frederick killed a police officer during a pot raid on his home. He was tried for capital murder, but convicted of manslaughter. We'd later learn that police informants were breaking into homes to obtain probable cause for raids.

"Never mind. God save The King."

I just signed legislation further enabling the development of carbon management projects in California. This action will create good-paying jobs, put our state on the leading edge of another emerging innovative industry, and aims to help further reduce climate pollution.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Eat a bag of stale dicks with the flinging of Zionist as an epithet. for every Jew who crosses your path. Now enjoy the block. You earned it.

Cruelty was the point and the paycheck. 💰

Books are still being banned, but most remain on shelves thanks to heroes who refuse to bow to censorship. Librarians, teachers, students, and readers everywhere are keeping the flame of free expression alive. Stand with them. Speak out. #BannedBooksWeek #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

Our Congress and Senate need to get back to the table and negotiate for We The People. Enough finger pointing, our country's health is at stake. Get back to work. You're being paid, our soldiers are not. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

While Trump and the WWE cofounder seek to demolish the U.S. Department of Education, California is generating K-12 test scores that get better and better. With universal meals, added literacy resources, and more, we're helping students thrive in and out of the classroom.

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."
