Colonel Doug Krugman reminded us of Trump’s chilling words to senior military leaders: “If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future.” For Krugman, that wasn’t leadership. It was a threat to everything he had sworn to defend.

Trump didn't end the war in Gaza. Gaza was obliterated by Israel. The war was already over. Bibi the Butcher just gave Trump the credit.

"Resetting the world order" should scare the hell out of everyone. "Peace through strength" = War. Fascism.

Listen to this nurse: when families can’t afford food or rent, doubling their health premiums will push them off insurance. Communities will suffer. People will die. And what did Republicans do? They shut down the government and took a vacation. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

In Russia and in the US yesterday, people were arrested by the state for singing and playing a musical instrument at a protest. The tough guys, the strong men, this is what their fear looks like. They will kill people to hide this. Fascists are the biggest personal pusses in the world. We will […]

ICE agents kidnapped a U.S. citizen in Chicago -- because she didn’t “look” American to them. Maria Greeley, 44, was on her way home from a double shift at her job earlier this month when she was surrounded, seized, and zip-tied by three ICE masked agents without cause or warning and […]

Anthropic stole the books I co-wrote in order to train their planet-burning hallucination machine, so I've filed a claim. They wept that if every plagiarised author does so, the company will go bankrupt. Boo emdash hoo. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Got a call with Caller ID saying it's from my Credit Union. They told me there was an account breach. In a very Indian accent. I asked if it was a breach or an incident. He told me it was a breach. I asked what of my data had been exfiltrated. He said third parties had access to all of my […]

I don't know if i know anyone in #georgia but hey, if fedi can do its thing. This is quite local, but can have massive impact on renewable developments in a quite sunny part of the US, as well as how much slack companies building data centers get, it's one of these "boring" elections that […]

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Corporate Town Hall - AI is of course the focus as it's been for 2 years now. Leadership doesn't know what it is or what it's good for but they still demand worship sessions and tribute. These sessions are consistent morale destroyers for anyone who can still think but that's fewer and fewer of […]

i’ve seen enough. and by that i mean lots of evidence. If you’re running an account that uses phrases like “antifascist,” or anything in the vicinity, the FBI, the NYPD, it doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same thing now, you’re on a watchlist.

Today (October 13) is a good day to know about the Doctrine of Discovery - 15th century decrees that non-Christians were not people, thus the Americas were “uninhabited” and thus could be declared for the various colonial power - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_doctrine […]

The Columbus Day holiday began in the 1920s, when a resurgent Ku Klux Klan tried to create a lily-white country by attacking not just Black Americans, but also immigrants, Jews, and Catholics. Today, we celebrate Indigenous People's Day, to honor the native people who lived on this land and who […]

Friendly reminder that Christopher Columbus didn’t discover anything, he just got lost and then enslaved and murdered a bunch of people before taking their land, so now you can’t go to the bank today.

After watching the NFL this season, I realize just how empty the PR stunt was to have helmets and sideline paint emblazoned with the words "end racism" and "stop hate" and all that. Those words have all been removed to prevent the Orange Mess from making an issue of it. Profits over people over […]

How the media are gaslighting trans people

Perfect.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Imagine that

While Trump is busy licking his wounds in public, this week his loyalist have fought tooth and nail to prevent the US congress from releasing the Epstein files and have declared anti-fascism terrorism punishable by arbitrary arrest or assassination.

If anyone has ever heard the CEO of Palantír rant on about how people just wanna feel safe and the only way to feel safe is if (insert targeted group) is scared. This man is a demented, psychotic asshole, and he is CEO of the company brewing itself into the flesh of your government in mine […]

The MMR shot is safe and effective, and there is no credible evidence otherwise. Breaking MMR into three shots means 3x more copays at the doctor’s office, 3x more hours of missed work, 3x more bummed out kiddos, and probably more than 3x as many kids who aren’t fully vaccinated.

Why do I want the city to build more housing? Is it because I'm in the pocket of big developers*? Is it because I want to displace longtime residents? No, it's because I very selfishly want my friends to be able to find places to live near me. I want friends who are a walk/bike/bus away and not […]

I'm going to guess that Johnson keeps the House closed until they find an excuse to remove some Democrats. Accusations of terrorism, criminality or "antifa-ness" will be the cover. #fascism #uspol #cheating

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Religious leaders & faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who would Jesus deport?’ Trump regime ICE forces have targeted them as they pray, shooting them in the head with pepper balls then laughing.
