Squid Games IS NOT GOALS!! What a soulless tool.

inversion table! I remembered the name. it's called an inversion table and it's supposed to fix chronic back pain.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Stephen Miller is a school shooter who took control of a country instead

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

really need to emphasize the small cities part. i have mentioned this before, but you'll see people on facebook talk about charlottesville like its ridley scott's mogadishu

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

At this point, how is it even possible that weed is still illegal at the federal level?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Another way of looking at it

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

“billionaires: they’re great, amirite? this is the kind of bold, unorthodox thinking you just can’t find anywhere else”

"Bending over backwards to appease Trump for any reason — to protect yourself or your institution, to demonstrate your bipartisan apolitical bona fides, to secure a government deal — absolutely never ends well."

Can't have bad economic numbers if you don't have any economic numbers.

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

Coal's decline is primarily due to expanded production of natural gas, which is cheaper and cleaner, beating coal on the market. The other main factor in the decline of coal jobs is automation, as the dwindling industry relies more on mountaintop removal. This is cultural nostalgia, not economics.

Saw a guy on Reddit who worshipped the Greek pantheon and was trying to figure out if Hera would frown upon him jacking off since she’s the goddess of marriage and I really think there are rare cases where people are just better off staying Catholic

I am a well educated, pretty media literate person whose job it is to be professionally annoying. I cannot figure out if my cancer medication, which costs $17k a month (I do not pay anything thanks to a combo of insurance/access programs), is going to be tariffed 100%.

79-year-old US citizen & business owner in Van Nuys, CA, was slammed to the ground *twice* by masked ICE agents. He was just asking for his employees to be allowed to retrieve papers proving they're legal immigrants. He suffered multiple rib fractures & a head injury w/ possible brain damage.

Suing Donald Trump pro se for $40 trillion dollars is the way all Jan6ers should be spending their pardons, as the QShaman is. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/phoenix...

Masked ICE agents slammed a 79-year-old U.S. citizen to the ground during a raid at his Van Nuys car wash. Now he’s suing DHS for $50 million.

From the weekend, my piece on what appears to be the theory of the Jim Comey prosecution, and why that means the prosecution may provide more proof Kash Patel lied to SJC than that Comey did. www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/28/w...

🤷🏼‍♀️

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Please stop asking Donald Trump to please be reasonable. He is out to destroy you not cut a deal with you.

Gov JB Pritzker on DHS agents going into Chicago: "It’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses. We cannot normalize militarizing American cities and suburbs. Make sure you know your rights and stay alert."

According to Oregon, Trump got the idea that Portland is on fire because Fox News illustrated a September 5 story on protests of ICE with video from the George Floyd riots in 2020. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

he’s just cooked. going to be interesting i guess to see who manages to consolidate power within the administration while Granpa periodically flings turds over the curtain

"And they are adamantly opposed to recognizing bad faith, so they let themselves be used, over and over, in an endless attempt to find reasonable common ground with political forces bent on division."

I don't want him to bend the knee I want him to fucking resign

“At one point, agents were seen chasing a bicyclist who’d yelled at them.” Racial profiling + going after mouthy cyclists. Such a great use of our tax dollars.

The cognitive dissonance here is truly incredible.

"I don't know, your breath reeks of booze and you're apparently wet yourself, and last time you deliberately hit three of us with the car, but I guess if you pinky promise to drive safe I'll give you the keys."

Downtown Chicago, today. The little girl …

He didn't comment on my column directly but I think he didn't like it

I really don't like to pick on the same people over and over, but Hakeem Jeffries and Ezra Klein won't stop saying things.

The Governor Newsom Press Account is beyond good.

Suburban police standing up to Fed cops is a development I did not see coming, definitely reflects how DEEPLY unpopular the ICE aggression is/has become. Attn: all “kitchen table issue” Dems, bc this sure seems like something ppl are talking about at the dinner table.

White House Deputy Press Secretary seen here posting data showing how much more prevalent right wing domestic terrorism is than left wing domestic terrorism... while thinking she's showing the reverse. Apparently she can only read headlines, but not the actual graph with the data.

And now, our right wing graph laugh of the day.

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

S Wacker is literally in the middle of a business district. Not exactly a place where peoples' lives are in danger.

ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen just for filming—knocking her unconscious. "Agents took her to a side alley, beat her up, then called an ambulance," witness said. "Then they kidnapped her from the hospital—without a formal discharge—and took her to Downtown LA Detention Center."
