REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

I KNOW that aint the same Clay Higgins who owes almost $200,000 in back child support for the kids he never sees?!

Read the rucking foom.

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

There are people in office who are armored by incumbency who aren't a tenth as brave as this woman

I really miss the days when my mood was almost entirely based on how well the Giants and/or the Warriors were doing. So much better than my mood tied to the latest horrible news.

The Charlie Sheen doc gave me a deeply queasy feeling that we were witnessing a birth of Trumpist pop culture with the insane celebration of absolutely appalling LOSER behavior.

*10/28/2025 noncooperation thread* Amazing. This is something I'm going to do. "Let's be the village, together." 6/

Embracing Islamophobia is absolutely the worst way to combat antisemitism.

He doesn’t care about approval ratings!!! Do you think Putin cares about approval ratings?? Dictators could give a shit what people think of them. That’s the entire point.

Jfc. Soooo many cultures — including my very Anglo American family — use “aunt” and “auntie” as a term of endearment to note the special place non-mother but maternal figures play, both familial and not, in children’s lives. This attack is obnoxious and the straight coverage of it, too.

Like the rest of y’all sane folks, I have so many aunts and uncles I’m not blood-related to, not to mention cousins, that this entire non-story about the future mayor of New York is infuriating.

New red flag alert: Anyone who claims not to understand this practice, which is common among many cultures (in French, a parent's cousine is a "tante à la mode de Bretagne"), is to be avoided as they 1) have an agenda or 2) don't maintain contact with any family/friends with kids who respect them.

Bernie Sanders: "Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year. Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses. No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will."

Reason #428 I’m rooting for the asteroid at this point. Not joking in the slightest.

Such bullshit. What crushed the life out of London was Brexit championed by Conservative asshats. The entire financial district fled to the EU. Fckwits.

The warning here is that in the same way Khan is being blamed for things caused by Brexit and Tory governments, WaPo and others are going to blame Mamdani for things caused by Trump.

This “opinion” piece is wrong. The mayor of London has REPEATEDLY tried to reinstate the VAT refund scheme, not fight it. It was nixed when the UK left the EU’s VAT system Jan. 1, 2021.

Terrified.

Silencing dissent is now second nature to this administration. We have fully abandoned the premise of allowing public argument and debate and are instead entrenched in rote fascism. The thought police are entirely empowered, and they treat us no longer as citizens of a republic, but as sheep.

This Nick Mangold story is so incredibly sad.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

O Canada, was absolutely beautiful. #worldseries #WANTITALL

I remember a lot of discussion about the importance of understanding the “75 million” people (many commentators rounded up) who voted for Trump in 2020. Interesting to note that more than 75 million people voted for Harris, and yet I saw no such equivalent discourse after the 2024 election.

And even if they are not harmed politically by their authoritarian turn, the dangerous, unprecedented extremism of the GOP should be covered as the major story that it is. They are now the equivalent of a European far-right party, and I’ve seen remarkably little framing along these lines.

I have one slight disagreement with this post. There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy. And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

And as long as we collectively wait for the worst to happen before taking action, as we wait for someone with authority to save us, the worst will keep happening. Every day.

Chilling.

God I want to love sports again so desperately. Maybe this will be the year I get back to my Warriors. Check time that games start in east coast hours, sobs.

Playoff basketball in October is WILD.

There’s a reason so many artists keeping saying they’d rather than die than use generative AI: it’s not hyperbole, it would be the death of creativity, and for most artists, that’s too unbearable to live with

It’s an interesting experiment for myself, deactivating FB and Instagram in the last week. I pick up my phone quite often, still, compulsively twitching for the apps.

So who’s the hater and who’s the waiter?

A terrorist attack.

Shit even the stuff without tariffs is wild expensive now. I admit it was Whole Foods and organic stuff, but today one liter of half & half and a half gallon of milk added up to over $14.

Jesus this one horrific scene in THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR has me bawling. If you’ve seen this documentary then you know what I’m talking about. Those poor children.

We need to find the best political pressure points. And push. HARD.

stop fucking replying to this about headphone jacks. i don't give a shit about if you have to figure out bluetooth. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE WATCHING A VIDEO AT ALL TIMES. JUST FUCKIN PUT IT DOWN. READ A FUCKIN BOOK OR SOMETHING

I didn’t even know Kaitlin was writing this as I was putting my last few posts together. Glad to see many are thinking tactically this way.

I’ve been thinking about steps that will work to rein in POTUS. It seems most important that Republican senators hearing from their voters that they WILL vote for them again ONLY if they stand up to Trump.

Colombia officially accuses the Trump regime of murder after it exposed that Trump and Hegseth ordered the murder of unarmed civilians in order to score political points for themselves. This was civilian murder and a war crime. We demand a criminal investigation and Trump’s arrest.

I have a paid subscription, so I didn't know. VERY easily cancelled. Thanks to the real ones in mentions who let me know.

Hey @nytimes.com this is why people have given up on you. This headline NEEDED to say that the AI video had Trump dumping fecal matter over American citizens. You guys are absolute cowards.

Heather Cox Richardson said several times that having fun IS a rebellious and revolutionary act when authoritarianism is trying to stamp out liberty

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

No Kings NYC. As far as the eye can see. (pls note Camryn Manheim in lower left corner!)

Trying to imagine the hell that would break loose if another country started murdering small boats of Americans in international waters.
