Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

It will always be the Epstein Ballroom to me.

@kagrox.bsky.social I'm waiting for the picture of W standing on the white house wreckage....

Absolutely NO LIES TOLD......

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

The entire @openlibrary.org team would like to express our deep sadness at the loss of our friend Greg Newby who, for years, has seeded @gutenberg.org with public good, open access values worth continuing to follow. Thank you for your beautiful contributions. You are missed.

Never thought I'd see the day. AC/DC just announced they're raising the price of Dirty Deeds, effective immediately.

What a weird name for a dog. But sorry for their loss.

For nine months, there has rarely been a day when I was proud to be an American. Today changed everything. Participating and witnessing the courage and determination of millions of America-loving patriots is the hope we needed to persevere and survive the chaos and cruelty of fascism. #NOKINGS

Thank you bike brigade for keeping the No Kings march safe!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

tonight is the night I became Dale Gribble and blocked the feds

Tomorrow October 18 #NoKingsDay We have to come out in numbers MSM can’t ignore Peaceful but strong Resistance is not futile

Once you let him kill people he calls drug dealers without evidence, everyone he wants dead becomes a drug dealer and you have yourself the Khmer Orange

They would rather demand purity because it absolves them of the hard work necessary to build a winning coalition.

Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously. Mamdani isn't good enough for them. Nor is Rep. AOC. Nor is Sen. Sanders. No one is good enough for them. (thread)

Did Janette Scott fight the triffid? Did it spit poison and kill? #ScienceFictionDoubleFeature

It’s crazy we have to do this. #fifthamendment

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

So, imagine if you asked a stupid person who knows nothing about anything how to solve a really difficult problem. Now imagine that person is in charge of what is for now the most powerful country on earth.

DO NOT FOLLOW ME if you don’t think Antifa is good. I am proudly Antifa - If it was an organisation, I’d probably be the President of a Chapter. Antifa is AntiFascism. Fascism is evil. End of story. Not open for discussion. If you are not anti fascism you’re on the wrong side of history.

"just need to finish updating the firmware on my lightbulbs" is a sentence we just needed to say out loud the future is wild

Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent. I love kids but I can barely afford my pets. Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

Every day that Republicans keep the government shut down sends a clear message. The GOP would rather fight tooth and nail to give billionaires a handout than save health care and lower costs for working families.

The story fits a familiar pattern: The Trump family appearing to leverage the power of the presidency for self-dealing. But it's failed to get much coverage in the national media.

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2018...

Its awful that we need to protect ourselves from our own government , but here we are Check this guide- stuff to bring, stuff to not bring, how to respond if taken - be prepared. ❤️🇺🇸❤️ substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Gas utility bills are rising even though natural gas prices are down. That's because a much larger share of your gas bill now goes to infrastructure instead of fuel. n.pr/4nOJoKs

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

"Open the pod bay doors please, HAL." "I think you ought to know there are some great door sales now at Lowe's Hardware." "Just open the pod bay doors." "The new iPod can be pre-ordered now, Dave." "The doors, HAL! Open the doors!" "Spotify has many songs by The Doors. I can subscribe for you."

This whole thing has a staged, very odd look about it. 🤔

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House. And they love to remind us when it’s convenient for them. So it's on them to fund the government. If they want our votes, they have to come talk to us. They know what we want: extend the ACA tax credits so the healthcare system doesn't collapse.

Argentina got $20 billion this week. the Argentinian public healthcare system is free for residents and tourists, funded through taxes. America First, though, amirite??

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

#ResistanceUnited Piss Drunk Pete apparently thinks cybersecurity is a distraction from his "warfighting" manly man schtick. The Pentagon has cut cybersecurity training programs at a time of surging cyberattacks on U.S. military and infrastructure. Genius. www.esecurityplanet.com/news/pentago...

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Truth be told

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

"99.97 percent of families, even when given the option, chose to let their children learn about LGBTQ+ people." Nice result, and it reinforces everything Montgomery County said to SCOTUS before its theocrats made their dehumanizing ruling. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...
