Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

I wish the press would cover this more explicitly. It is right before US.

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Make America Great Again… GTF Out!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine. Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

The Union shall win once again. Donald Trump has ordered red states to invade blue — that's no exaggeration www.rawstory.com/trump-troops... #TrumpCivilWar #TraitorTrump #TrumpDidThis #RepublicansDidThis #GOPKakistocracy #AmericanFascistParty #Project2025 #NoRepublicansEverAgain #USPol

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Gotta love the Borowitz Report!

Goebles and Himmler would be impressed at this Manufactured Consent. Unfortunately they got caught in their lie. Watch @cbschicago.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/gxld...

I was staggered to notice this news article this morning: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

I agree with John Oliver.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Seen just now on FB:

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

President Thin Skin wants his face on a US coin, but the 1866 Act of Congress explicitly bans the portrait or likeness of any LIVING person on U.S. coins or notes, to avoid the appearance of a KING. #NoKings! (Besides...he already HAS a coin with his favorite slogan). ⬇️

Hey y’all! I’m FulcrumOut. Bios are so short. So here’s more about me! I’m a huge nerd. I’ve shared some of my favorite nerdoms throughout this post. Let’s connect if we share some! They say a lot about me. My profile is a safe place for all LGBQT+, Black and Indigenous people and all

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Jasmine Crockett: “Stop believing the lies they are putting out there. The only person that is harming you right now is the old white nepo baby that is sitting in the White House that is causing all the destruction, pain, and problems you are enduring”

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Stephen Miller accused of 'incitement to violence against judges' with new 'purge' comment www.rawstory.com/stephen-mill...

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Today, an Oregon judge stopped the Trump administration from sending the CA National Guard there. Today, the Trump admin appealed. Today, the judge not only threw that out but also has now declared that the Trump admin may not send any National Guardsmen from any other state into Oregon. Whew.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

Narrator: This is fascism.

Happy National Poetry Day to all those who celebrate. This year’s theme is ‘play’ so here’s a poem which plays with some letters. It’s called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’.
