This anecdote from Miles Taylor about Stephen Miller allegedly suggesting drone strikes on boats of migrants during Trump 1.0 seems relevant given the recent US lethal strike on a vessel in the Caribbean. www.treason.io/p/read-one-s...

Holy shit

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

BREAKING: SCOTUS will hear a case over whether it should overrule Humphrey's Executor — in a shadow docket order that also allows Trump's firing of Rebecca Slaughter as an FTC commissioner to take effect while the appeal is considered, which should not be allowed under Humphrey's Executor.

A win is a win and a big takeaway for the progressive movement: when it comes to corporations - money (from the majority) talks.

Sure hope Disney shareholders and board remove Bob Iger and any other cowardly executives who helped bring on this self-inflicted brand destruction. Unlike Tesla, the Disney board isn't hand-picked Iger toadies. Maybe they'll exert some oversight here. #boycottdisneyabc

SCOTUSblog had long called the shadow docket by its neutral term, the “Emergency Docket,” but the site has just switched to Kavanaugh’s new preferred term, “Interim Docket.” Dispatch Media’s helping Brett make fetch happen.

Need a Monday pick-me-up? Here's what you get if you look up the Tesla showroom where we held Seattle's first #teslatakedown protests ✊🙌 Remember: Every act of rebellion pushes our lines forward. And you have friends everywhere.

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Olivia Rodrigo headline new ACLU letter with 400+ signers against government threat to free speech, citing Kimmel. Also signed by comedians including Nimesh Patel, Mary Beth Barone, Sam Morril, Gianmarco Soresi, Anthony Jeselnik, Pete Holmes

For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law

Old enough to remember the shitfit Republicans threw after Paul Wellstone’s funeral, when they characterized some of the oratory from the dais as incendiary libels. Let’s stay tuned for the gentle rhetoric we’ll hear about Dems today.

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact. www.courts.state.hi.us/wp-content/u...

The #teslatakedown Seattle crew is taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming to defend the first amendment at our local ABC affiliate, and to make sure our neighbors know to #boycottdisneyabc! 🧵 of my favorite signs and outfits @troublemakers.bsky.social @defundmusk.bsky.social

Democratic resistance to the keep giving Trump blank checks at end of this month is already yielding tangible results - it has made the MAGA plan to move another big ugly reconciliation bill even more difficult - this is why legislative resistance is useful. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

NEW: As Trump and his friends make deals, ordinary Americans are on the menu – to be divvied up proportionately to how well different oligarchs serve Trump. Catch up on the biggest corruption stories of this week with our latest Corruption Calendar newsletter:

In July 2024, @golden.house.gov wrote Bangor Daily News oped stating Trump would win, rejecting the premise that he's a "unique threat to our democracy." Mocked those worried about that threat as "pearl-clutchers" Well, here we are and Golden is doing his part to aid and abet Trump For what?

Maine's Jared Golden just voted to give Donald Trump's regime blank checks. #MEPolitics

Strong read on just how little courage is required, yet missing: www.theringer.com/2025/09/19/p...

It is remarkable how few national Dems have been willing to put themselves on the front lines here.

Just the paramilitary secret police manhandling an opposition political candidate.

We're tracking how Trump is degrading the systems that protect us from tragedies!

For regular updates on aviation safety, news, and crashes, follow our Aviation Disaster Tracker.

Fume events have particularly spiked on Airbus aircraft, which loosened maintenance requirements in 2016. These fume events can be incredibly damaging to the health and safety of pilots, flight crew, passengers and maintenance workers—causing brain damage, nervous system damage, and more.

The FAA also needs to contend with skyrocketing incidents of toxic fume exposure. According to WSJ reporting, there were 108 fume events per million departures in 2024, far higher than the 33 per million the FAA previously estimated. Internal industry documents suggest it could be as high as 800.

Announced last week, the pilot program will allow new aircraft to operate without certification. It comes in the wake of proposed deregulatory actions that could drastically expand the use of commercial drones. The already overburdened and understaffed FAA will have its hands full.

AVIATION UPDATE: The Trump admin announced a pilot program to allow electric air taxis to conduct test flights carrying cargo and passengers before vehicles are certified by the FAA. Plus, toxic fume exposure is on the rise, moving FAA headquarters will come at a huge cost, and more. 🧵

Cancelling Disney+ is fine and well, but here's another strategy that will really get the local affiliates' attention, and thus ABC's attention. CALL. THE. LOCAL. ADVERTISERS.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

🚨 JOIN US TODAY AT 12:00 PM to protest ABC and demand they bring back #jimmykimmellive. 🚨

President Trump nominated EJ Antoni to serve as BLS Commissioner. If confirmed, he’d have significant power over US economic data. From 2019 to 2021, he ran a Twitter account that frequently posted conspiracy theories, as well as sexist, bigoted, and far-right views. 🧵THREAD🧵

FEBRUARY take from @daveweigel.bsky.social that really captured what key Democrats thought at the time--and BOY were they wrong!!!! "Actually, the #Resistance is working," www.semafor.com/article/02/1...

Headlines on the Bloomberg Terminal from Air Force One: *TRUMP: TV LICENSES SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY IF BAD PUBLICITY FOR ME *TRUMP: IF TV SHOWS 'HIT TRUMP' SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON LICENSES *TRUMP ON TV SHOWS CRITICIZING HIM: THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

Has he ever debated or engaged with an environmentalist he disagrees with? I've seen nothing in any of his articles, podcasts, or book.

DISNEY: Wins 5 Emmys for ANDOR, a show about resisting fascism ALSO DISNEY: Bends the knee to the federal government and suspends Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel for resisting fascism

1. C'mon man! 2. I challenged Ezra and Derek to debates the day their book was published--my organization had obtained a review copy and we had been writing about Abundance for 18 months. While I was attacked by them, CRICKETS about a debate! Like, Ezra has no commitment to debate whatsoever!

yeah man nobody on the left goes into conservative strongholds to have real conversations with real people

Gunshots fired at the home of Democratic State Sen Meg Loughran Cappel in the south suburbs of Chicago.

if the former host of "The Man Show" is too woke for you, that might be a personal problem

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

#BoycottDisneyABC is really happening! Join in.

In 2021, I warned that “family offices”—investment firms that manage the $ of tech titans & other billionaires—have more assets combined ($6TN) than all of private equity ($4TN). Unlike PE, the public has NO insight into where they put that money. Zero. www.nytimes.com/2021/05/18/o...

Hello, senator, two questions: WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE COURTS? Have the justices in charge been big on protecting democracy lately?

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
