How to determine if you should get an e-bike: Do you like to bike? If yes: Buy an e-bike. If no: Are you sure. Rent an e-bike, then go back to the first question.

I feel like the thing none of us are really productively grappling with is that the Trump administration is all distraction and yet nothing is distraction. They absolutely want to do all these things, but they don't tell the truth about anything. They do whatever they can whenever they think of it.

You know what this also does? Absolutely kills the cheap generics.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This should be a red line. Trump is personally directing the indictment of @jamescomey.bsky.social based on personal animus even though Comey violated no law, as evidenced by the fact that the former US Atty looking into the case resigned rather than bring phony charges. Make Kimmel-level noise.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Isaac Chotiner has invited me to sample some delicious Amontillado wine and I don’t know guys but I think I’m going to come out of this interview seeming like *quite* the wine expert

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Hey does anyone know what time tomorrow the Rapture is supposed to be happening, I have a flight and am wondering if I should be checking to make sure my pilot is a heathen

Look! So pretty!

Amazing book now has amazing cover!

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

The sound of a bald eagle you hear in movies is almost always actually that of a red-tailed hawk. That's because bald eagles sound NOTHING like what you think. Don't say I didn't warn you:

Highly recommend this read

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

because we need to move past “don’t rank frey” and 2021 messaging, artist brain____________________heart has designed these posters that name dewayne davis, omar fateh, and jazz hampton in various ranking combinations! they are available here for download drive.google.com/drive/mobile...

Don't watch Farm Aid on CNN when there's a stream from Farm Aid that's professionally shot and very good.

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House. He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo. He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up. And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

lol. Emil Bove intervened. The guy that Senate Republicans just confirmed for a lifetime position on the federal bench. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

I am begging every male voice actor who reads books to stop choosing a whiny, insipid voice for the female characters. I just listened to _The Curse of Chalion_ and all the wonderful, bad-assed girls in it sound timid, thin, and insipid. Even when they are being defiant and angry.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

IJWTS that if I were the worker, I'd be having more feelings about being surveilled than I would about being vindicated. This feels really dystopian. Also, the idea that my employer wouldn't defend me without said surveillance would also feel bad.

The notion that any of these anti-trans voices give a wet slap about women's sports is a huge con. They don't care about women's sports any more than they care about women.

the notion that trans women have an advantage in sports is entirely made up and has no basis in science. it's based on the notion that trans women are cross-dressing cis men what little peer reviewed science that has been done shows that, if anything, trans women have a disadvantage over cis women

And I've cancelled my Hulu subscription. Sigh. Don't cower to fascists, Hulu/Disney!

If you're trying your absolute best to put into the world what you'd like to see more of and feeling completely overwhelmed, please read this: You are NOT wrong. It is NOT pointless. Fascism works exactly how it's making you feel: Depleted. Run-down. Recharge when you must. Then keep being you.

I was arguing with someone here, and they evidently said something cutting, and then blocked me. Except, since they blocked me, I can't see their closing argument. This is especially frustrating because i might have been wrong, and now I don't know.

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

I feel like that last sentence has the causality reversed.

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

This is true, and I'm glad he said it. But I do want you, Senator, to not only speak plainly but to act bravely. We need you, now, to meet this moment.

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

Big brass balls. If there’s some “crisis of masculinity” in America, it boils down to man-children who lack the cojones of this polite, soft-spoken, badass accountant and therefore fail to understand that “showing up for our neighbors” is what being a man means if it means anything.

Groups like Media Matters are more important than ever, but they're probably going to be driven out of business (either by Musk's lawsuits or the coming crackdown on liberal groups by the government).

Update on this: The teen's parents have been ordered to meet with ICE tomorrow in Burlington. Many activists think this is just an attempt to kidnap his parents (they are seeking asylum). People are gathering at the ICE field office in Burlington tomorrow at 9 a.m.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?
