what about the murdered guys

why not isn’t this something they are proud of

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

The biggest renovation of the White House -- the so-called Truman Reconstruction of 1949-1952 -- came about only because the building was in such a state of disrepair that inspectors decided it was unsafe for occupancy. Not because the president just decided he needed a big fancy ballroom.

well at least that means they know it’s bad and the circulating photos are hurting them, that’s ….. not much but all I have I guess

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

1. ICE has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal gov't data by Popular Information. Records reveal ICE has increased spending on “small arms" — a category that includes guns, armor, chemical weapons, and explosives — by 700% compared to 2024 levels

Oh. A 155-mm shell fired during a live-fire demonstration for the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s detail

Gaza Government Media Office says Israel has breached the truce agreement 80 times, including 21 violations on Sunday.

Trump posted an AI video showing him DUMPING FECES on No Kings protesters. Here is how the media covered it: 1. NYT: Trump Posts Fake Video of Himself Flying a ‘King Trump’ Jet Over Protesters 2. Axios: Trump posts fake video in "KING TRUMP" jet as GOP dismisses No Kings marches

We were pretty direct at @crooksandliars.bsky.social

omg 👀 This both humiliating and terrifying.

We're calling him Diarrhea Don. He's owning the libs so hard with this, it's brilliant. Everyone talking about the president's uncontrollable bowels, how manly and cool his uncontrollably explosive shits are.

Ukraine attacks Russian gas processing plant as Zelenskyy calls for more international pressure on Putin.

Israel violating a ceasefire deal as a mob of Israeli settlers attack an American journalist and Palestinian grandma & an Israeli soccer match has to be cancelled because of violent fans is all the worse when you remember the deal calls to "de-radicalize" Palestinians and not Israelis

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

NYC judges have an extremely accurate statistical instrument to help them decide whether to release someone before their trial. But a new study finds that judges often disregard those release recommendations, especially for Black defendants.

(shouting to the press secretary) Can you confirm whether the diarrhea was pre-loaded onto the aircraft or was it coming directly from the president's Ass?

“Ceasefire”.

I am off the ground! Support my work with a tip or becoming a paid subscriber to my independent reporting outlet below. It’s easy to critique these protests but it’s clear: we will win and implement significant change if people organize around it. #NoKings #LosAngeles

The Trump regime closing I-5 so it can shoot live artillery over the freeway underscores what a dystopian nightmare we are living in. The US military threatens US citizens thanks to an unhinged simpleton in the Oval Office and a TV chatterbox running the Pentagon. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

A LAPD officer driving an SUV through a crowd of people knocks over and injures a man in Downtown Los Angeles. @shoton35mm.bsky.social

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.) This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

it’s honestly astonishing in this day and age when republicans experience consequences for their actions

Afghanistan's Cricket Board says three players were among those killed as violence continues despite extended truce.

The more you learn at the moment the more you realize that so much of what’s going to pop the bubble is straight up physics and resources. It’s not clear if you can even build a gigawatt data center campus let alone power one, and GB200s have a negative 100% gross margin. Oracle bought 400,000!

Here is another great fact: AI data centers are a relatively new concept, and nobody has ever built a 1 gigawatt data center campus at speed. Crusoe? Never built an AI data center before. We have less than a year of data on cooling Blackwell. Hey whatever happened to CoreWeave Denton?

now is a really excellent time to set up a monthly Wikipedia donation if you don’t have one already

This is horrifying, but I’m glad the Wikipedians are safe. It could have been far worse, given that the MAGA fascists have been trying to incite violence against Wikipedia editors, and trumpists are defenders of pedophiles like the gunman. gothamist.com/news/gunman-...

The International Maritime Organization delays vote on reducing pollution in shipping after Trump threatens sanctions.

Strike on civilian vehicle by Israeli military marks deadliest violation of eight-day ceasefire with Hamas.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law. Trump Orders Santos to Be Freed From Prison ‘Immediately’ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Erica Chenoweth and company just shared the highly encouraging results of their new study. Here's a bit but read and share the whole thing.

As you may have noticed, white supremacists want to stop the influx of hardworking young people (aka immigration) while somehow forcing white women to have lots more babies to compensate, but they refuse to make having kids more affordable and less arduous an experience.

This is how The Boston Globe chooses to frame the kidnapping of a local teenager.

Full opinion here. Effectively a total loss for the admin, although the 7th Circuit does continue to permit the Trump admin to federalize the National Guard. They just can't be deployed to do anything in Illinois. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Palestinian bodies returned by Israel show signs of torture and execution, say doctors: Almost all had been blindfolded and had gunshot wounds between the eyes, says medic at Nasser hospital in Gaza

This week, SCOTUS is hearing a case that essentially boils down to GOP states trying to silence black voters. Justice Kavanaugh is musing that racism might be over and the Voting Rights Act should be dismantled. Meanwhile the headlines coming out about Republicans this week:
