I know you all know what deranged, vile, propaganda nonsense this is. But for the record: Leaders of the regime are declaring the opposition party and all forms of political dissent as illegitimate - and large swaths of the population to be dangerous terrorists. This is incredibly dangerous.

This administration has been, by far, the most censorial administration in my lifetime. They're punishing people for speech about Palestine, about Charlie Kirk, about ICE, about the President. It's been nonstop attacks on speech.

Kinda seems like whether or not the president has the power to assassinate people with no due process, no input from Congress, no review, no oversight, and with no obligation to provide anyone with any information or evidence other than “trust me” is an important test of our democracy.

I have read the Bolton indictment. I am thoroughly unimpressed by these allegations. If this manages to make it to trial and a conviction, DOJ just opened a Pandora’s Box for future Administrations to go all out after all senior officials’ handwritten notes every time there is a change in power.

Remember when Biden bungled a comment and it sounded like he called all MAGA garbage, quickly corrected and it was still a 3 day news story?

Maybe he shouldn’t have fucking kidnapped them

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Kagan: "It's not about intentional discrimination because Section 2 isn't about intentional discrimination, it's about effectual discrimination." Again, this should be the winning argument. It won't be.

Nelson: "Section 2 requires neither a confession, nor an accusation of racism. It looks only at results." This should be the winning point, but it won't, because Republicans.

Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money. So much for America First!

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

We were actually getting somewhere, too. 😞 @sbmitche.bsky.social www.library.hbs.edu/working-know...

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The whites are literally arguing it's literally *unconstitutional* if they're not OVERREPRESNTED in Congress.

Yep. As I was saying last week.

Dude lies like he breathes.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them. If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January * 100s starved to death, including kids * Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel * US citizens murdered in the West Bank I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

Important

"There is, however, one big difference between Trump’s trade policy and China’s. Namely, the Chinese appear to know what they’re doing."

13. years. old.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Unprecedented corruption

Egypt has extremely strict gun control laws. Civilians are only permitted to own handguns -- no rifles or shotguns -- and only if they can prove they need the weapon for a specific purpose. Background checks for licensing are extensive and include vetting of family members and psych evaluations.

Great stuff here from @gregsargent.bsky.social

Reminder: When a deadly pandemic was raging and people were dying, these delicate flowers couldn't wear masks because *It restricted their breathing *It irritated their tender skin *They could get carbon dioxide poising 5 years later - masks? A badge of "honor"!

Trump just said online the "Biden FBI" placed agents into the crowd on January 6, but Trump was president on January 6.

Trump isn’t the first president to pit states against each other with hostile military action. There was also Jefferson Davis.

Miller seethes when people make fun of him online, so I do think ridiculing him is impactful. Better, though, would be to start calling him President Miller and telling folks he’s really in charge - that’ll drive Trump nuts.

R: may i be heard? J: yes sidebar [so DOJ invoking presidential communication privilege suggests this decision about where to send Abrego is getting pretty high up] /120

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

I mean, when you get right down to it, the No Kings march will be antifascist. I'd ask Johnson if he's pro-fascist.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value. This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025. Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment. Be warned.

AI is sucking up our water and our energy. They are going to build their AI data centers wherever they can find enough water and enough power to feed the beast. We will pay the price for this, we will lose our water, we will pay to expand the energy grid to feed them. Be warned

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying. It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy. It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.

Trump just got Letitia James indicted despite insiders leaking that the case against her is incredibly weak. He had to get his handpicked stooge to do it. This only shows how corrupt the whole thing truly is:

Brett Kavanaugh: “The Govt sometimes makes brief investigative stops …”

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

You inherited the best economy in the world, and you've wrecked it in a few short months.

The TRO in Chicago Headline Club v. Noem: - (mostly) no targeting of journalists or ordering crowds to disperse - restrictions on use of less-lethal munitions - two warnings before use of riot control weapons - must wear ID and uniform (or similar)

The federal government is making war on American cities. These people are fascist traitors.

Trump promised a health care plan TEN YEARS AGO and has never come up with one. Unless you consider it a "health care plan" when you cut health care and use the savings to give rich people a tax cut.

When the Supreme Court struck down Biden's policies, it was tempting to think: "At least these limits on executive authority will bind Trump if he comes back into office." But no—the court's skepticism of executive power vanished on Jan. 20, 2025. This dynamic is obvious to anyone paying attention!
