Something Jake Tapper won't ask Mike Johnson about, while schmoozing instead of hard journalism, "it's always a pleasure, Mike Johnson." ‪

Yes! This would be a welcome move. I get official government accounts have a responsibility to get information and messages to people and therefore need to be where the people are. But there comes a time when lines do need to be drawn. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

A tale of two headlines: EA games set to be acquired by Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner and Trump announces 100% tarrifs on all foreign-made movies Consolidating media, information, and entertainment while isolating people to make them more vulnerable to propaganda is pretty damn alarming.

We should be looking for the missing Alligator Auschwitz detainees at Fort Bliss in Montana. Why is not one allowed to do an audit of who is actually there?

Stephen Miller looks like he goes to his room with lube and tissues after one of these illegal and heinous murders.

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

EA just hopped into bed with a sovereign wealth fund called PIF that is chaired by a state leader linked with the murder of a journalist. Human rights groups also claim PIF is a culture washing tool that "has facilitated and benefited directly from serious human rights abuses." Fully story below:

Any government that starts shooting its citizens in the streets usually doesn't last long. Just saying.

The shooter at the Mormon church in Michigan today was MAGA. The silence from MAGA GOP leaders and “influencers” today has been deafening.

Today, Thomas Sanford murdered five people in Grand Blanc, MI + injuring many more after setting fire to a church. Sanford was a Trump supporter + signed various petitions supporting conservative causes. Seen here with a "Make Liberals Cry Again" Trump shirt. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-sign-s...

The Mormon church shooting in Michigan isn't the only mass-shooting of the day, unfortunately. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Obviously breaking an unjust law is not a sin. But I am also concerned/fascinated by how the sinlessness of Christ is doing some really reactionary work here. (I’m not opposed to the doctrine of Christ’s sinlessness *except* that it often gets in the way of seeing his real solidarity with humanity)

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

If you're a voter abroad or know one, it's time to start thinking about voting in November. ESPECIALLY if you're in PA, VA, NJ, and CA. www.votefromabroad.org

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

In my opinion, the 2nd most important election this November (after CA Redistricting) is the trio of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court retention elections. Many in PA are unaware, and we need to fix that. All 3 Justices MUST be retained. GIFT ARTICLE to read/share. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/u...

The last time Trump sent Feds to Portland; I was an emergency dispatcher for the city/county. It radicalized me; what I was seeing/hearing/dispatching didn’t match the narrative. Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer were the REAL issue. Abolish ICE. Oh, and there’s this: gizmodo.com/donald-trump...

You should post this on Facebook or wherever your ICE agent/Military/Cop cousin can see it

Delete TikTok. It is more going to be part of the US surveillance state, which I guarantee will include countries beyond its borders. I'm pretty sure they're already doing it with Meta and X, so kick those out, too.

"TikTok Is About to Go Full MAGA" This administration is in the final stages of a deal to hand over control of TikTok to pro-Trump, pro-Israel billionaire investors – and Joe Biden is to blame, argues @taylorlorenz.bsky.social for Zeteo:

I know y'all love TikTok, but that shit's about to become incredibly fucked. Seems like a good time to dump the app.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Michael Grynbaum, media correspondent for the New York Times, joins MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to discuss how Sinclair and Nexstar caving to pressure and returning Jimmy Kimmel’s show to all local stations shows that media conglomerates “can say no” to the Trump administration. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Apparently we have enough money to bail out Argentina so their economy doesn't collapse. But not enough to give our own citizens things they need, or provide aid to hungry children, or staff our government properly. What happened to the "America First" agenda. Oh. It was a lie, you say? Nooo wayyy

Seeing @erikaishii.bsky.social as real-life Atsu onstage at TGS is definitely a highlight of my year 😻⚔️ #tokyogameshow #ghostofyotei

This is SO important, but gets lost in the chaos of the day… she was FIRED for following the LAW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Added alt text with full quote. “When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”

Dems just released new Epstein files implicating Steve Bannon, Elon Musk & Trump’s shadowy tech backer Peter Thiel docs reveal meetings scheduled between the notorious archpedophile Jeffrey Epstein & Peter Thiel the shadowy tech fascist billionaire who is building Trump’s surveillance state for him

Jan 2023: -ChatGPT becomes the fastest growing app in history Mar 2023: - Silicon Valley Bank collapses in the wake of FTX debacle - Crypto at-large plunges - FDIC bails out EVERY SINGLE DEPOSITER in SVB - Peter Thiel and his ilk need a new growth sector Oh look... What an interesting chart...

Now you know at least part of the reason that Trump won't release the Epstein files. Elon Musk apparently went to Epstein Island, and Bannon and Peter Thiel are in this as well.

It's National Hispanic Heritage Month. To celebrate, we are featuring artists with Hispanic Heritage for Fine Art Friday. Next up is Humberto Ramos. These six covers, when combined, form one big piece. You can find more of his work here: www.humbertoramos.com

Star Trek Enterprise started 24 years ago today. 🎵It's been a long road, getting from there to here. It's been a long time, but my time is finally near. And I can feel a change in the wind right now. Nothing's in my way. And they're not gonna hold me down no more.🎵

In France an ex-president is facing jail time for similar.

The steering column in recalled vehicles may detach, increasing the risk of a crash, regulators said.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Meanwhile, of course, Trump's handpicked stooge prosecutor is scrambling to find some way to bring an indictment against James Comey, under direct pressure from Trump, even though career prosecutors found insufficient evidence.

I don’t know about you, but I’m still sort of processing that the US president stood up in the UN and declared that London is about to be under Sharia law, and the response has been “actually, that won’t happen” rather than “Jesus, that is insane.”

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Why are we giving the dictator of Argentina 20 billion dollars, even though he himself is to blame for the crash of his country’s stock market? english.elpais.com/economy-and-...

Huntington’s disease, a devastating degenerative illness that runs in families, has been treated successfully for the first time in a breakthrough gene therapy trial.

Took my cat to the vet today and asked the people at the front desk what the weirdest pet name they’d ever encountered was One of them said, immediately, “Well, nothing’s going to beat ‘Cocaine’”

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

So happy to hear that Maria Steen failed to get the nod to enter the Irish presidential race. For those of you who aren't aware, she is basically the Irish Catholic equivalent of an American evangelical. Be sickening if she even had a chance of getting nominated.
