From nationalizing voter suppression to flooding the streets with federal agents, the president and his allies are using all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to tilt the midterms in their favor.

Fifty years ago, on Sept. 26, 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show flopped at the U.S. box office — then became the longest-running theatrical release in history.

I sadly don't have a scan of the clipping but my father made it into our local newspaper for buying a VHS copy of Rocky Horror when it came out (for like $150?!). We'd watch it every Halloween and do all the callbacks as a family, throwing toilet paper at my dad's projection tv in the basement.

Make it crystal clear for everyone in your life.

Probably the best video I've seen on how Project 2025 is now reality.

Never burn yourself out to make any institution brighter.

With just days left, Ohio’s Redistricting Commission is stalling while fair maps have already been on the table since Sept. 9. This isn’t delay — it’s deliberate sabotage of Ohio voters.

Oh yes

1. In a groundbreaking legal filing, transgender patients, represented by Women's Law Project, have filed a legal complaint against UPMC for capitulating to Trump and dropping trans care. Federal funding threats do not override state law. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Out today: Students went on strike, and 8,000 of them marched in a mock funeral procession carrying a coffin with a banner that read “academic freedom” from campus to the Capitol and the governor’s mansion.

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

oh fuck put it in my veins; it’s getting better known DNC shills: GWAR

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Not to like, be on the side of big pharma but…Tylenol has gotta be getting a lawsuit prepared after this, yeah??

"In the name of 'fighting antisemitism', the Trump administration is publicly making an example out of arguably the most famous Jewish public intellectual in the country today."

VT just closed its religious studies department.

This outlines the structural problems in history and all humanities scholarship. Do more with less and then be shocked when people have to leave to make money and everyone left is overwhelmed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump uses platform of presidency to promote unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without new evidence.

Here are my top 10 fall dogs!

1. The Trump administration has filed an emergency motion with the Supreme Court to reinstate its transgender passport restrictions. The filing in the much-criticized shadow docket could cast trans travelers into chaos, with a decision likely soon. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people. conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...

good morning, super friends.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

If you want an example of what dictators and their minions do to satirists, look to the great Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat. As the Bashar Assad regime started to crumble in 2011, Ferzat produced a series of a scathing cartoons. He was severely beaten by secret police thugs. They broke both hands.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

For those keeping track at home.

After Trump administration officials baselessly claimed that liberal nonprofits fund and promote violence in the U.S., over 100 progressive organizations came together to push back. The groups asserted they will continue to carry out their missions.

good morning

None of the most prominent people talking about universities have any real idea what does and doesn’t happen in classrooms.

Gretchen Felker-Martin has returned to BlueSky and revealed that, along with Red Hood, there is a creator-owned horror comic with DC that likely will never happen now.

By my count, at least 7 universities have fired faculty or staff for social media posts about Kirk. Clemson, University of Mississippi, U of Tennessee, Newport News, Cumberland University, Middle Tennessee State, UT Knoxville Add to the thread if I've missed some

With the possible rumor of Deadpool/Batman only being a physical print, I want to explain why this is seemingly a positive thing... It's because comic book stores should be supported. Going to your local comic book store whether for the first time or not can always be a great experience! 1/?

What happened at Texas A&M where an instructor was fired and chair and dean removed from their posts is only the latest illustration that college administrations are not reliable protectors of academic freedom. Faculty must organize around their own interests. open.substack.com/pub/academic...

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...
