"the gruesome Badenoch-Jenrick double act, and the Putin-friendly chums of the oil lobby in Nigel Farage and Reform is where right wing politics is right now: as a naked and open defence of class relations and oligarchical interests.” averypublicsociologist.blogspot.com/p/about.html

Ukraine has pushed Russian forces out of the town of Maly Shcherbaki and have raised a flag.

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

"Trees will only grow in fertile soil, not up in mountains." This self-seeded pine, lodged in a crevice high up in a sheer rock escarpment in the Caha Mountains, begs to differ. It says that trees will grow just about *anywhere* sheep can't get at them.

GOP: "Do as I say, not as I do"'

🔥 Ukrainian OSINT channels write that it was at the site of the strike in Donetsk that the Russians set up their own workshop for the production of FPV drones, Molniya-1/Molniya-2 attack drones, and loitering munitions.

Today I took questions from more than a dozen South Asian news outlets and spoke about our agenda to make this city affordable for each and every New Yorker.

General Staff: Russia has lost 1,122,810 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022 #Ukraine

Nice recap

💥 Lots of Ukrainian drones struck Russian military assets in occupied Donetsk.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Disdain with a side of cranberry #Canada? When I consider the corrupt and incompetent #U.S.officials with whom #Canada has been saddled under this administration, it is astonishing what we have endured with grace. #Cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/theplane...

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

BREAKING: Ukrainian long-range drones just struck Russia’s largest oil refinery complex in Ufa. It’s located 1500 km (930 miles) from the frontlines.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

💥 Ukrainian drone swarms are striking the Russian military in occupied Donetsk right now.

Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸 #FuckICE

“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. — I’ve done all kinds of things I said I wouldn’t do and, of course, now I’m glad. Thrilled.” R.I.P. Diane Keaton, what a legend. 🕊️💫

One of those actors who not only had enormous talent and range but absolutely radiated charisma with it. A rare and magical thing.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit. Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union. But yes. It’s a start. www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

To summarize. If Trump wanted to send Ukraine Tomahawks, he could right now. If Trump wanted to sanction Russia, he could right now. If Trump wanted to seriously bolster Ukrainian air defense against Russia drones/missiles, he could right now. But he’s not, so he doesn’t want to.

Ukrainian drones currently hitting Belgorod again. #explodey

I’m a patriotic American, so I’m proudly anti-fascist. How about you? 🇺🇸

Dear Moscow, If you smell smoke, that’s us. If you hear buzzing, that’s us too. If you’re panicking - good. Sincerely, Ukrainian drone swarm P.S. We don’t knock.

Nutlick The Loser Threatens Canada. Our Answer? Bring It On. This isn’t a negotiation. It’s a threat from the sitting U.S. Secretary of Commerce, who thinks Canada will just roll over. He’s about to find out how wrong he is. #cdnpoli theplanetdemocracy.substack.com/p/lutnick-th...

Ukrainian drones have hit the Bashneft oil refinery complex in Bashkortostan, a whopping 1,400 km from the frontline. #explodey

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
