Let’s talk about what real strength looks like—and how Trump’s MAGA “alpha male” act is the opposite of it. 🧵

Join Pikes Peak Library District as we welcome author Mary Roach to discuss her book Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law, a 2025 All Pikes Peak Reads selection. Roach will do a short reading from Fuzz, followed by a discussion of the book and writing process. ppld.librarymarket.com/event/all-pi...

the booker prize judges make a lot of fuss about having to read 153 books. but assuming an average weight of 750g per book, that comes in at 115kg of literature - or just under the weight of a single adult male ostrich

Acetaminophen is easy to pronounce. The ending is like “minnow fin” 🐟 And “aceta-“ sounds like “Ah see da” as in “Ah see da Epstein files still haven’t been released.”

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Pueblo has a fraught history with the Arkansas River, but a new $11 million park could change that

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Like everybody else in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem has two jobs

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

Pueblo County to President Trump: Keep our coal-burning Comanche Station making power indefinitely.

One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.

@kylec.bsky.social I know you guys have a lot on your plates with the acquisition and all, but I haven't seen any mention of what's going on down in Pueblo this week. With the Coroner? We could sure use some light shined on it, it seems to have disappeared past the local level.

America’s Doug Wilson problem goes much deeper than Pete Hegseth. See, eg, NatCon, American Moment, New Founding, and American Reformer. Thread. 1/

My father's body was sent to this mortuary two years ago, and I'm now more confident that my late dog's ashes are her than my Dad's are him. krdo.com/news/2025/08...

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

It's important to remember who Vladimir Putin is. He is a war criminal indicted by the ICC for orchestrating the abduction of over 19,500 Ukrainian children. He’s ordered the invasion of a sovereign nation, the slaughter of civilians in Ukraine. His legacy is built on lies, violence, and war crimes.

women want equality, yet still refuse to commit 93% of violent crimes, 95% of murders, 97% of sexual assaults, 90% of armed robberies, and 98% of mass shootings

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Thanks, brain. You ruin everything.

I just saw a black-wrapped cybertruck with a vanity plate that read: 45and47 I really need to get those "I'm in a cult!" magnet/stickers made for such occasions.

PBS News is not going anywhere. We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air. We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

Someday soon, this little button is going to give us the best news ever... and here I am pushing it like one of those trained rats, ever hoping for my little treat.

My new favorite song

Stephen Colbert could book David Letterman on his show. That's a thing that could happen right now.

I feel like we're less than a year away from the Constitution being declared unconstitutional at the rate they're going.

It is entirely possible that I have added too much cayenne to my cream of mushroom soup.

There is no city, state or federal district where it is legal to terrorize and detain people for being brown and working in agriculture. These raids must stop immediately. 8/

WaPo: purchased and gutted to pump propaganda by an oligarch. LA Times: purchased and gutted to pump propaganda by an oligarch. CNN: gutted and pushing propaganda MSNBC: being actively gutted and spun off CBS News: being purchased by an oligarch's failson and set up to push propaganda.

Putin did not want to defeat the USA on the battlefield, or to harm one administration. That would be too easy to fix. He wanted to so fundamentally rip apart our economic engines that it will take three or four generations to fix it. All he had to do was leverage America’s greatest weakness, the

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset. I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

I've been leaving messages at Rep Jeff Hurd's office for two days now, and I simply can not get through my talking points without crying.

Counterpoint: Biden wouldn't build a fucking concentration camp in the Everglades in the first place, you mook.

senate democrats did literally everything possible to stop this bill and to draw attention to it, and they succeeded in striking several awful parts from it *and* forced two retirements, if you they could’ve done more, your argument is with arithmetic, not politics

This is not normal

Tried to call Hurd's DC office and got hung up on when I pressed 2 to leave a comment. They're going to be busy tonight.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak. Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

When the mass deportation began, I said every day for a month or so that you cannot have a mass deportation without forced disappearances, family separation, rape, child molestation, & intentional death. A mass deportation is the definition of human rights atrocities. 🧵

It’s a scam. The budget bill is a shell game we will lose.

Good boy.
