Fine: 1) What’s happening to the U.S. is part of a transnational far-right, autocratic wave and it cannot be treated as a purely domestic issue 2) A major subset of these dynamics is globalized kleptocracy/oligarchy; tackling that requires rebuilding & enhancing int’l anti-corruption mechanisms

it's going to be like when we got rid of smoking in restaurants and on airplanes and within a matter of maybe a year everybody was like "we allowed WHAT?"

This is FASCISM. youtube.com/shorts/fXR1t...

Stop doing Nazi shit if you don’t want to be called a Nazi. Easy peasy.

bsky.app/profile/paul... 93 of 100 U.S. Senators are controlled by the Israeli lobby. The great noticing is happening. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

🤣👊🏻

Time to keep boycotting any company advertising on Fox.

I look forward to a planet devoid of these believers.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Blessed the studio with fresh white sage, bought this past Saturday from the local Pow Wow. Ready for more music making!

Rather than a resistance, the concept of an opposition is more comprehensive and durable. It recognizes that there are no time limits to the effort. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

Hey! I’m sharing my kiddo’s bday list. She’s turning 7 and of course she wants a K-pop Demon Hunter themed birthday party. I’m putting a lot of effort into hosting a trick-or-treat candy treasure hunt for her friends. Please consider fulfilling her bday Amazon list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

One dynamic that national coverage of campus speech has understated is the degree of surveillance for the purposes of punishment. In this case, the student wanted anonymity. In other cases, students are trying to build a brand. Few students but big effects. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-to-bec...

Texas Democrat Greg Casar spent his summer fighting for his job—and plotting a progressive revival. Over a tumultuous but pivotal week in August, @timothypmurphy.bsky.social tagged along as Casar juggled the dictatorial present and an uncertain future.

Let's be clear: No other scientific or public health body agrees with Trump's autism conclusions. But they conveniently line up with RFK Jr.'s attacks on the pharmaceutical industry. They also appear to take inspiration from a long string of bonkers wellness myths.

You do know that if you can strong-arm a corporation like Disney into reversing its decision to bend the knee to trump, you can likely do it to the others, right?

Kimmel represents a whole bunch of folks…. And I’m tired of searching for work . I’m tired of people telling folks “it’s connected” It is and if you believe that move and help us with the same power Black women have been getting hosed since 2020 . When is it the time

A moment of patience in anger saves you a hundred moments of regret.

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

I hope we never lose the recipes of making memes in photoshop. These will always be funnier than AI.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Republican Sunday: YOU HAVE AWAKENED A DRAGON OF WHITE RAGE WE WILL SWIM IN THE BLOOD OF OUR TERRORIST ENEMIES AS THEIR CHILDREN WORK OUR SLAVE CANPS Republican Monday: we’re sweet widdle puddy tats what never hurted a fly and the mean man’s post fwightened us so bad we cwosed up our widdle eyes

Centrists, pay attention. We do not debate fascists.

Wow. After being fired from @washingtonpost.com, my Substack, The Golden Hour, has been #1 rising bestseller in Culture for three days. Thank you all for the support!! Please subscribe! substack.com/@karenattiah...

Today’s “One First” looks at the status of the birthright citizenship cases—and their broader lessons for what we miss when we ignore the cases in which the Trump administration is both (1) losing; and (2) *not* seeking emergency/expedited appellate relief. It turns out that those are the majority:

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people? That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago. He still has his job.

Absolutely required reading. We all know that centrist politicians and the media are doing this -- we can see it -- but if you need a cogent explanation for someone questioning how, here it is.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

⚡️Ukraine brings back 16 children from Russian-occupied territories. "Today, they are all safe in Ukraine, receiving psychological support, restoring their documents, and taking their first steps toward a peaceful new life," Presidential Office head Andriy Yermak said.

Red states always find the budget when it’s to silence voices…

So many Trump voter origin stories begin with something involving liberals being mean to them or looking down on them, but no one on this planet has more contempt for the average Trump voter than MAGA influencers. Trump voters are the most cucked people in America and it's not close.

Damn right — lock him up!!

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Damn, that’s crazy…

“No one, absolutely no one, should die as Ethan Schmidt did,” Professor Don Allan Mitchell said. “We all have a choice: the violence of words or the pathway of love. May we continue to show love to as many people as we can for as long as we can.”

They are putting in effort to make the world worse. Their delusions don’t matter. Look at the horrid shit people do with a sincere devotion to a religion that tells them to love their neighbor and give away their own wealth You don’t need to make excuses for them. In fact, you should not.

Deactivated my Facebook account. Too toxic over there, even though I have family and friends on there. Some have moved here.

Javier Bardem and Hannah Einbinder join a Hollywood boycott of Israel's film industry over Gaza, as Israel's culture minister also moves against its film academy.

Here is an in-depth privacy and security guide by @fightforthefuture.org that goes beyond the basics, answering questions about VPNs and how to run an anonymous blog. There are also quick references but I recommend reading the 43-page PDF. www.turnoffyourphone.org

First of all, how dare you.

In 1983, 50 companies controlled 90% of the U.S. media market. That number is now down to 5.
