This is next level authoritarianism.👇 "Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

My first political campaign I worked on was in 1988. In all the time since then I have never seen an endorsement quite like this one. 2025 man. What a fucked up year.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted 52–48 to overturn Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil. Five Republicans joined Democrats: Susan Collins (ME), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rand Paul (KY), and Thom Tillis (NC). The measure is DOA in the House.

If you're a Virginian, get out there and VOTE. No excuses. The message needs to be sent, the direction needs to be reset. #NativeVirginian #Virginia #ProgressiveVoter #Spanberger #VoteVirginia

This is horrifying, but I’m glad the Wikipedians are safe. It could have been far worse, given that the MAGA fascists have been trying to incite violence against Wikipedia editors, and trumpists are defenders of pedophiles like the gunman. gothamist.com/news/gunman-...

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint. They are all terrified of King Donald.

Today at Detroit Metro Airport.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses. “Mexican Cartels hmu [hit me up] we dropping all the doxes wheres my 1m [1 million].” www.404media.co/hackers-dox-...

Took a drive up to Ballston Lake/Round Lake area...where I haven't been since I was about 5 years old in 1990, when my grandparents lived in Clifton Park. I always remembered the apple cider donuts...so I grabbed six for the road. Autumnal feels! #UpstateNY #CiderDonuts #LakesideFarms

Well, nah...native Virginian here and I prefer it there. But, half my ancestry is from New York, so I guess I can't hate on it "too much" lol #EmpireState #Albany #StateCapitol

And yet I feel I'm seeing more of those ridiculous Earle-Sears ads as of late. And every one of them is like nails on a chalkboard. If she's not gonna take any responsibility on the Republican rhetoric, that Jay Jones "controversy" has little water to hold.

Uh no...there's more unity in this than you think. Fetterman is a huge disappointment to the party.

I've archival research to do for my next book series (one of several trips to NY necessary for it), but the NY State Archives and Library could be in a more interesting location. Alas, I'm in Albany. At least there's some fall colors to look at as well lol #Yawker #AllUpInYaAlbany #Genealogist

Love to see more of this!

Love this...

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

FCC boss Brendan Carr now says his 'easy way or the hard way' comments about Jimmy Kimmel weren’t meant as a threat to pull licenses if Disney didn’t suspend him 🧢

I'm back to work after a 13-day vacation in Spain. On my first walk break at the office, walking through #ConstitutionGardens, I couldn't help but notice they were cutting the grass with automatic lawnmowers. After 13 years walking these areas on my breaks, it's quite a first observation...

Camping at #WoodsCampground in the Poconos this past weekend. That fall crisp in the air (at night) was colder than I desired...

Polis is successor to Fetterman on the disappointment scale.

So, a National Guard soldier is just walking around inside our office building...carrying arms...while just inspecting rooms. So, it's not just them walking around outside around DC. They're actually walking IN buildings, too. F*ck all y'all who buy into this s**t from outside the DC bubble.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

Hey, #USA, thousands of $$ a day are spent to send your National Guards on vacation to walk laps in parks. DC isn't particularly touristy these days, cause, you know. Do you feel safer? If not, take them back. We don't want them here (these are my own pics). #UnFuckAmerica #WashingtonDC #resist

What the s**t is this timeline we're in?

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

As I've agreed as of late. If Republicans can get away with it, then Dems ought to as well, and Dems ought to be just as vicious about it. If Republicans cry foul over it, then maybe, just maybe, legally they can stop this practice altogether.

"My god, what have I done?" #TalkingHeads #OnceInALifetime #LettingTheDaysGoBy

These Coldplay concerts are getting out of hand.

We can see your voting record.

Nice legislative body you got there. Shame if anything happened to it. The ̶S̶t̶u̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶ Roberts Court.

After a nearly 4-year drought in my previously annual/bi-annual visits to Colorado, my man and I had a wonderful time exploring in Denver and the Rockies. From atop Chief Mountain, with Mount Blue Sky behind us. #rockymountains #Colorado #hikers #gayhikers #beardedmen

“Donald Trump’s administration is on pace to have one of the worst years for deaths in immigrant detention in decades following the recent deaths of a Canadian citizen and a Cuban man in federal custody.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It's a Tove Lo/Dirt Femme-kinda week. Bear with me... youtube.com/watch?v=K52k...

Been enjoying seeing all the "Democrats in disguise" release their thoughts on Zohran Mamdani. Congrats to y'all, you class of 2025! You were just racists in disguise. Amazing they jumped all arguments against him about his age and pounced on his faith instead.

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.” These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.

Where's Spicy Sean lying about the size of the crowds when you need him? #nokingsday #spicysean #spicy #tuckfrump

My partner and I decided last minute to get the hell outta dodge [sic: DC], but it's rather fitting the birthplace of American independence and freedom is the backdrop of one of the larger #NoKingsDay protests. Over 100K attending, all peaceful, but with clear messages to send #DontTreadOnUs #Philly

If you live in LA and you need a reminder of why voting matters Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

My Swiss trip has been amazing and absolutely love the country. This was up at the Oeschinensee this past Saturday...unfortunately, just on the otherside is where that devastating landslide took place, destroying the town of Blatten. I remember hearing the evacuations on the news days earlier...

I've never seen it so well put before.

As if she's had any water to drink since she was at least 11.

7 days into my Swiss vacation, and only had a few news leaks from stateside make it onto my phone...but enough of both to want to make me just stay here for good. Ugh. Meanwhile, me at Lauterbrunnen, SW...
