random: if anybody lives in greenpoint they are giving away literal boxes of pre-1965 diner bowls and plates by the warsaw venue on driggs, presumably cleaning out the basement or something

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

THE PURGE Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months. Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025. 🧵

Call me Ishmael. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

This is how Stephen Miller coopts federal law enforcement and turns it against the righteous.

If you're looking especially to see someone who just threw up a nazi salut on the ground crying, "I thought you guys were the party of peace" as they surround him, mock him, take photos of him and wait for security to show up.

The Trump Admin fired the Director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library over his refusal to provide an artifact from the Library’s collection as a gift for King Charles. What the everloving fuck. open.substack.com/pub/lastcamp...

My gorgeous mushroom wrist compression glove finally arrived! Bought from Bibipins, actually very pleasant to the touch and easy to wear! Now, I may be having trouble figuring out which direction to wrap it, but that's just me. @bibiblossoms.bsky.social is the owner of this business.

Boost Bibi. She's one of the best of us, and the stuff she sells has no good alternatives.

The UPS v. Hobbii 🧶 Part 2: yesterday the package was released for clearance by a govt agency! Then resubmitted for clearance 3x. Still no delivery date. Current hypothesis is there's no method in place on who or what tracks tariffs. And the govt has now shut down. So. Fucking. Sick of #winning.

States that didn’t vote for the president—which includes ones that pay the most in federal taxes and effectively subsidize the rest—will have federal outlays unconstitutionally canceled, in violation of law duly passed by reps from those states, among others. Taxation without representation, no?

This. I feel like I’m going insane. Whenever I criticize the party and a rando tells me that I’m an “online leftist” who wants to lose, I want to scream motherfucker WE DID lose I just WATCHED us lose and it’s CATASTROPHIC. bsky.app/profile/jaco...

New: Last night in the Senate, Ted Cruz blocked a bill that would have prevented data brokers from selling personal data on anyone in the United States, and not just federal lawmakers and government officials.

Muslims who wear hijab have started receiving “specifically a demand to know how long someone has worn the hijab and why not wearing it would be a burden to their free religious exercise” when they apply for US passports.

update: the FCC voted today to end this program

This passage nearly broke me.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect had become pretty well known. I purpose increasing our familiarity with the Gell-Mann amnesia effect, because that's exactly what we have here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Ma...

"As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."

Can we address the absolute cluster fuck that is intl shipping right now? I ordered yarn. I paid the $32 tariff. It took 2 days to get from Denmark through Germany and to Lexington, KY where it has been languishing for 2 weeks because there is no system. For yarn. From a yarn co. #Tariffs #FuckDOGE

Respectfully gov, Trump seems to have gone through you. What else you got?

Telling citizens to record and make noise is excellent, but it puts them at risk, as we’ve seen. (And some people more than others, if they’re targets of the regime.) So when do we see the power of your office start to protect these people? Or we supposed to understand that won’t / can’t happen?

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

The Deputy Chief of Staff... is in charge of military strikes? Do we even have a president?

S. #Wacker Drive, #Chicago, #Illinois. This is what #fascism looks like. #ICE agents meandering down a very safe street in the business district and serving absolutely no purpose other than intimidation and wasting #taxpayers $. You don't see them in a gang infested neighborhood. #Trump #Gestapo

So considering he reposted that AI medbed thing last night there's a nonzero chance his own advisors have been showing him AI Fox News clips in the oval office and he thinks they're real

Complying with the law, and their requests won't protect you. The violence, suffering, terror is the point. They are bullies who get off on bullying, that is the long and short of it.

Only in America can you say, “Did you hear about the mass shooting this morning?” and someone can reply, “Which one?”

I went to the ICE facility Trump claims is "under siege" by antifascists and "other domestic terrorists." There were four protesters there, one a thoughtful young man in a chicken costume www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

We have the power

In the last 6 hours, Trump has imposed: - A 100% tariff on medicine unless its producer starts building a new U.S. factory in the next 5 days - A 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities - A 30% tariff on upholstered furniture - A 25% tariff on “Heavy (Big!) Trucks”

The most extreme case I've come up with is CABELL COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA, where a 64-yr old couple earning $84,601 next year would see the benchmark Silver plan jump from $599/month to a whopping $5,268/month. That's 8.8x as much for the same plan. It'd be $63,216/yr, or 75% of their gross income.

this man has no mask on and is surrounded by people holding cameras and still feels complete impunity to violently throw this woman on the ground because he's wearing a badge abolish ICE

If you want the Forest Service to be anything other than just a logging company get in those public comments, people

If the victims weren't carrying IDs when ICE kidnapped them, DHS might not even know who they are. If the victims' families are afraid to come forward, it could take days, weeks or longer.

Ric Grenell, Kennedy Center president, organized a claque of Republicans to heckle a musician critical of Trump. It's like junior high school www.washingtonian.com/2025/09/23/l...

Find your local Sinclair stations and see who is advertising on them. Target THOSE companies and let them know their kissing the ring authoritarian bullshit will be met with closed wallets. The *ONLY* acceptable response to fascists is #FuckYouMakeMe

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Tomorrow! Quick! What are y'all wearing to the Rapture?

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Why is Kamala surprised? Her very own husband, Doug Emhoff, is STILL a partner at Willkie Farr, one of the law firms that capitulated!

this is up there with any of the worst things trump has publicly said in either term in office

So I ordered yarn. I appreciated them showing the tariff cost ($32 which, shocking no one, I the American pay). Package made it from Denmark to KY in 3 days and since been languishing at a UPS facility for two weeks, no delivery date. So much winning, even the fucking postal system is in shambles. 🧶

Absolutely my go-to recipe. The jar and immersion blender move is *genius*
