There are two very opposite viewpoints running right now. Oil traders who say “everything is fine” and oil CEOs who are saying “everything is fucked” and we get to find out which one because we live in the worst timeline.

Every Republican politician who supports this President and Supreme Court is supporting white supremacy. Never vote for any Republican, ever.

He has a queer daughter and he changed his tune on this.

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

This is basically a voir dire of a grand jury, which is not legal. This is what judges do, not attorneys.

what I want to know is, when his ass is booted out, what about those 39 felony convictions? Jack Smith better have kept his paperwork. what about the average 3 treasons a day he's committed? the Crimes Against Humanity? his head should be on a pike on the white house lawn, fucker

The Roberts Court continuing to do what the Federalist Society paid for: rob us. Rob Black people of their freedoms, immigrants of their rights and working people of their wealth.

Would like to draw attention to this very perceptive comment on my recent blog post about SCOTUS; the way in which the Court now treats the entire judicial system as its own private playground is really unprecedented, I don't think anyone anticipated them seizing total control of their own docket.

We're gonn have an election where the tipping point seat is like R+4. Basically the Wisconsin gop playbook for the entire nation writ large, where there's a strucrual advantage in the Senate, the electoral college and the house towards GOP such that they can control all of government with a minority

BREAKING: Supreme Court allows Alabama to use congressional map that will eliminate a majority-Black district a lower court said intentionally discriminated against Black voters. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

it is concerning how addicting this game is 82-0.com

At the risk of wading in again, I cosign what @amandalitman.bsky.social posted on Twitter. Whatever you think of Graham Platner, the situation here is the fault of the Democratic establishment for working so hard to shut down a pipeline of young, fresh candidates. x.com/amandalitman...

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

A cofounder of the Pig Iron Theatre Company, he ran the Martha Graham Cracker Cabaret band which, for 15 years, performed monthly at L’Étage in Queen Village.

Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) is super mad to be running against another guy named Dan Sullivan.

should i try going live rn?

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

WOW -- Rep. Madeleine Dean just during the Blanche hearing that Trump "has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that"

So: *Exoneree Calvin Duncan won an election for clerk of criminal court in Orleans Parish. *The state legislature, AFTER seeing the election results, enacted a law eliminating the position. *The Louisiana Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, has now upheld that law. cases.justia.com/louisiana/su...

These fascists are really going for it, aren't they?

This is one way I know a lot of teachers are doing AI detection (detectors don't work, don't use them). Pull the kid into your office and ask them questions about the paper. They can almost never answer with any specificity.

OK NOW. www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

When @rbreich.bsky.social became the first gubernatorial candidate to support marriage equality in 2002, the vast majority of Americans disagreed with him. Today, nearly 70% support it.

So famous it has its own Wikipedia page. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_We_...

The new Republican taunt, calling James Talarico trans, is (yes) bait designed to trap or divide the left. But it's also a witch hunt in the classic sense of the term. A dangerous escalation of degenerate MAGA politics. And something Dems should address muscularly. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

So those goons at LibsOfTikTok have gone after my Philly neighborhood's elementary school for hosting a Pride parade, forcing them to move the parade from the sidewalks to the schoolyard and bring in police protection to ensure that children are safe.

This was my kids' school. The loveliest, most inclusive place. Fuck LibsOfTikTok and all their ilk.

New in PN: Republicans go all in on toxic masculinity in Texas "Rather than talk about issues, records, or even personalities, Republicans have simply resorted to bellowing 'WE ARE MEN! THEY NOT MEN! MEN GOOD! NOT MEN BAD!' over and over again in sweaty fugue of bile and bigotry."

Reminder that Widow’s Bay creator Katie Dippold is behind one of the greatest Halloween tweets of all time:

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

Regardless of who you vote for in the elections this fall, you can help repeal the discriminatory Marshall-Newman amendment from the Constitution of #Virginia and replace it with an affirmative right to marry the consenting adult you love. Let’s make it happen Nov 3. #valeg @mschmidtrva.bsky.social

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The headline does it a disservice, which isn’t on you. But what is on you is using ‘traditional masculinity’. No. Sexist or misogynist masculinity. It’s an ok article, but it lacks understanding or a critical edge. Here’s a book that helps situate Talarico v Paxton. wwnorton.com/books/978163...

Oh is that how it works? One candidate is such a corrupt criminal that his own party tried to purge him, a crook who pardoned a pedophile and is loathed wide and far. But he plays the man card and now it's "front and center" in the race? "Sorry, folks, the crook said we have to talk gender!"

The agent who booked the artists for the Trump state fair event is named Jeff Epstein. I can't.

High memory prices due to demand from AI data centers are about to claim a notable victim. GoPro has warned that high memory prices and low sales put the company at risk of going out of business. They won’t be the last company to hit hard times due to the memory crunch.

The move to token-based billing is going to be really rough on a lot of people in AI in a way I’m not sure the industry is prepared for

said this in a work email last week and, uh, shared my views with one of my groupchats.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Interrupting our collective doomscrolling to ask the public what the best global culinary creation is. By that, I mean what is your favorite type of dish that was somehow made by every society in some form? Mine is the dumpling.

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

As a Jewish New Yorker, fighting antisemitism and hate is top of mind. But on the issue of Israel, Dan Goldman and I couldn’t be further apart. #NY10Debate

part of the reason not voting does very little is that *a lot* of people don't vote, and the reason they don't vote is not to make a statement but mostly just disinterest. 1

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City. Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation.

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.
