Logged onto the CoveredCA exchange yesterday and confirmed what we’ve been warned about: On January 1, my monthly health insurance premiums will functionally double—an 87% increase. 😕

here we go.

It's happening here.

But I don’t think Elon Musk should have the command of a robot army.

Keep checking to see if the Constitution ends up on eBay

Looking forward to our future “lesser of two Nazis” elections

Not in a ROW!

Listen, we're never going to win over white, rural voters unless we're willing to reach out and screw them in favor of their Argentinian betters.

I’ve long been convinced the damage FoxNooz inflicts on this country comes as much from the stories they *don’t* report on as it does from the ultra right wing narratives into which they pour every news story they do broadcast.

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

Feel strongly there are some GRU guys taping up the White House demolition photos on their cubicles

Trump is plotting to loot the government for his personal gain and it’s going to be quite a thing to watch the msm clean up this version of pure gangster behavior www.cnbc.com/2025/10/21/t...

Really appreciate you sharing this bit as the journalist who spent hours researching and analyzing the info it would be great if you could link back to the original work: popular.info/p/ice-boosts...

“Vote for me and I will tear down the White House. I AM YOUR BULLDOZER.” — The part of Trump’s pre-election stump speech we all missed, apparently

Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

Subtle metaphor for America.

NEW RESEARCH confirms: Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right. (I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

America As No-Longer-Democracy and Not-Yet-Dictatorship Where does the country stand after the largest day of protest in U.S. history? Putting “No Kings” in perspective. Some thoughts from my new piece:

I can’t help but think the next year is going to be a battle royale between Trump’s impulse to cave to Stephen Miller’s fascistic fever dreams and invoke the Insurrection Act now to crush dissent versus waiting until much closer to the midterm elections to maximize its strategic benefit to him.

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people? Who could have foreseen this?

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Earth quietly updating its PlanetBook status from "mostly harmless" to "meat sack glut.”

That disturbing AI video Trump shared is batshit insane, but the wealth class needs Trump to keep populist anger contained and controlled, so everything is done to normalize it and obscure the obvious insanity. Meanwhile, someone calling for free public transit is covered like the antichrist.

Russia, Russia, Russia, as they say

“Break’s over. Everyone back on your heads.”

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

This is from San Diego #NoKings

No Kings San Diego

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Just when I’m on the verge of giving up on humanity, people have the nerve to go out there and be creative, funny, brave, and beautiful.

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

A few pics from the No Kings rally today @ Waterfront Park, San Diego, CA. ✊

Now, *that’s* a headline, AP. Good on ya for bringing the context.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity. But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

So dangerous that they must be blown into small pieces rather than arrested … unless they are actually captured in which case they may go home with a warning. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

spent the afternoon with a bunch of my friends, neighbors and other very good citizens who care deeply about this country and what it stands for it made me proud to stand next to my fellow Americans knowing that we are here for each other just as much as we are for ourselves

10/18/25💪No Kings – South Korea standing up, knowing first hand the dangers of authoritarianism🇺🇸🙏

Heads up, San Diegans: CHP is now reporting they WILL be closing I-5 at Camp Pendleton this afternoon after all. 😡

If you’re on the fence about attending a rally today, the uplifting, positive energy that I came away with after the first No Kings rally stayed with me the entire weekend. It’s unexpectedly gratifying to visually see that we’re not alone—a perfect antidote to the daily flood of despairing news.

Chilling.

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.

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
