DC street art.

But egg prices are down, so I guess it's all worth it.

For all the wonderful creativity of the Portland protesters, this is a serious test of our nation’s ability to discern BS from reality. Who ya gonna trust, us or your lying eyes? No reporter, no politician, nobody can let Trump & lackeys’ total distortions of reality slide. Otherwise hell awaits.

Wow. Powerful statement. All believers in freedom, justice and democracy should adopt Leticia James’s fearlessness.

JFC. Demented dementia Donald. This alone should lead to removing Trump via the 25th Amendment. But of course those with the power to do so won't – not until the cabal of billionaires decides to stage a coup to install VP Vance in Trump's place.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks: I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

Dems need to up their demands in the shutdown. Not just about healthcare. Trump has declared war on the half the country that does not support him. This is fascism, full stop, and Dems must fight to stop him. Call your reps! @andykimnj.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @repherbconaway.bsky.social

A return to pre-Trump capitalism is not an option. And we need a new politics to move forward. Most likely requiring new leaders yet to emerge. The West Is Lost www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/o...

The Department of Defense is now the Department of War on the American People.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

At least the top military brass got to see first hand what a deranged nut case the Commander in Chief is. And what a ridiculous dork his Secretary of “War” is. I think it reminded them why they swore an oath to the Constitution and not to a temporary occupant of the White House.

IT’S OFFICIAL: We now have more protests planned for October 18 than there were back in June. It’s not even October yet but you’ve already put 2,100 events on the No Kings map. We hope to see you at the largest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

My guess is that since it’s too late to remove their names from the ballot, a nontrivial number of voters will still vote for Adams or Sliwa even if both say they’re dropping out. And that’ll help Mamdani. Adams Leaving Ain’t Enough to Make NYC Mayor a Race talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/adams...

I remain flabbergasted that we have a SCOTUS that rules using "Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist" (Trump always wins), as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson put it. Chief Justice Roberts may as well be Pam Bondi, who targets Trump's enemies first and then looks for possible crimes & evidence later.

There’s a simpler way to describe anti-anti-fascism.

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

No one should suffer violence for their beliefs. But whitewashing Kirk’s odious views is dishonest BS. Ezra Klein offers performative self-congratulation instead of the kind of serious analysis we need in these troubled times.

Apparently we're not allowed to say anything negative about free speech champion Charlie Kirk.

No more.

I'm certain that Trump's minions (Patel, Bongino) will torture or otherwise compel Kirk's killer to claim that he was previously a peace-loving Trump supporter – but that he was radicalized by lunatic leftists like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and their hateful ideology. I'm serious.

SCOTUS shadow docket is out of control. A complete abuse that allows Trump admin to violate Constitutional rights without limits ... until someday maybe they actually rule on the merits (and probably even then decide that Trump is allowed to get away with it). [excerpt from today's ruling in NYT]

Looking forward to being part of a giant turnout of citizens opposing Trump’s illegal military dictatorship on October 18, 2025. Coming to a town or city near you. www.nokings.org

Ezra Klein gets it. But it’s scary as hell that Democrats in Washington have no plan to oppose Trump. WTF on steroids. Stop Acting Like This Is Normal www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

7 things every child needs to hear: 1. I love you. 2. I am proud of you. 3. I am sorry. 4. I forgive you. 5. I am listening. 6. Capitalism is a tool of the upper class designed to keep the people struggling, oppressed, and docile. 7. You have what it takes.

I guess the good thing about them calling it the department of war is that it’ll be a lot easier to advocate for reducing the war budget.

Trump & Hegseth are now war criminals, on top of all their other crimes. Please write to your Senators & Representative to express your horror and demand that they oppose this action. It should be an impeachable offense. If they have any sense of duty they will call for a trial. #ProudBlue

Trump is a war criminal. And sadly, so are those in the military who followed what were clearly illegal orders to kill 11 people on a speedboat in the Caribbean earlier this week. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

In today’s America, cruelty is cool, caring is weak.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

“Where does America go from here? “Normal” politics is not an adequate response to the kind of challenge the country now faces. In fact, a return to pre-Trump “normalcy” is not even desirable, as it would merely restore a deeply dysfunctional, deficient system that gave rise to this mess …” - Zimmer

When tariff-driven inflation starts showing up in the Consumer Price Index, Trump will demand that they stop collecting or reporting the data. If there's no data, then there's no inflation. Just like if you don't test for Covid cases, then your Covid case numbers look much better. @tpm
