“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

for @slate.com I wrote about Joe Arpaio's view on the SCOTUS shadow docket decision in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo, the case in which Kavanaugh said it was okay to racially profile people. “I was vindicated by the Supreme Court of all this shit.” slate.com/news-and-pol...

A devastating flood tore through Kipnuk; five months earlier, federal funding meant to help the village withstand disasters was abruptly cut. Lee Zeldin revoked the grant, citing a new push to eliminate what he called “wasteful DEI grants.”

Machines should free us from the mundane- not enslave us to it.

NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol. Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

I remember!!

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements. "The lyrics are still so relevant."

Wouldn’t it be cool if this photo of Obama receiving his Noble Peace Prize went viral today? 🔄

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Dems should recommit to Roosevelt's four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

Listening to the rain on this lovely fall morning.

Worth a read

ANTIFA:

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk. But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

The Oregon National Guard general says if they were to be deployed, they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters and not ICE

The President of the United States is out of his mind.

Anyone know what time the Epstein survivor press conference is tomorrow? @rokhanna.bsky.social ?

This is hands down the best comms work I’ve seen from Chuck, probably ever. It ain’t perfect, but I gotta give him big props here. Him and his team clearly are trying new things — and they’re making progress!

Congratulations “Dump 61 Here” dude! It worked! #gomariners

UW pulled it together and got it done in the second half! Go Dawgs!

Just a reminder that the only transgender woman to ever win an Olympic medal is Caitlyn Jenner.

And yet you provide labor and tax dollars you will never be able to get back. We should be thanking you for what you provide. None of this is ok:

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

Very happy I stayed up for the Colbert/Kimmel and Guiermo episode. Salud!

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

NEW: GOP Senator Susan Collins has voted against the Senate Democrats’ budget bill that would stopped a 60-120 percent increase in ACA health insurance premiums in Maine. RETWEET to let Maine know @SenatorCollins voted against affordable health care!

Kimmel and Colbert just did the official kneel like a knight antifa greeting on national TV! Secret’s out ya’ll.

So Trump is defunding the police.

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

This is your daily reminder—not that any is needed—that Trump is an absolute fucking moron.

War torn Portland (2025) 😞

Bill Kristol wrote “horseshit”, twice.

Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy. This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman. It’s an endless series of baloney.

Kimmel is back in Seattle. He should never have been pulled from the air in the first place, but glad to see Sinclair reverse course. Thank you to all who spoke out for free speech.

PRESIDENT TRUMP, IF YOU HAVE TIME TO MEET WITH PUTIN IN ALASKA, YOU HAVE TIME TO MEET WITH DEMOCRATIC LEADERS IN WASHINGTON. COME TO THE TABLE & NEGOTIATE! SHOW YOUR SKILLS & FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROTECT AMERICANS’ HEALTHCARE & KEEP GOVERNMENT OPEN. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION, SIR!

Oh Come On!!!!

Speaking officially as the host of Jeopardy!, Cal Raleigh is the correct MVP vote.

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health what until you see what guns do.
