Hey @electrifyamerica.com - we need double the units in Cincinnati. These are always full. I have been waiting 20 minutes. There are 2 more waiting near me and 3 other drivers have left, unwilling to wait longer.

In the immortal words of James Madison, “follow the money and see where it goes.”

It’s not that complicated, people.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

What the fuck year is it???

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires

Truman- the man who gave the order to drop the bombs- tried to build a national healthcare system after WWII but was dismissed as “socialism”.

Men who want to be pageant chiefs are inherently weird and probably don’t actually want to celebrate and/or elevate women.

Something I think gets lost in the debate over ACA enhanced premium tax credits: 65% of ACA marketplace enrollees have incomes under 200% of the poverty level ($31,300 for a single person). These are folks who make too much for Medicaid but don't have access to employer coverage.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

17 years ago today, my friends and I were watching as Obama got elected, sobbing and chain-smoking cigarettes, waxing poetic about the first Black president. In hindsight, it is a privilege to have believed in something so completely. I’ll never fault the person I was who believed in hope & change.

“When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” -Sinclair Lewis

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Cool cool cool so now the entirety of the US military is bought and paid for awesome www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." ―F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

We need a new version of “touch grass” but “talk to a stranger.” When we live in our algorithm lightboxes, we convince ourselves that everyone either thinks like we do or that we could convince anyone to think like us if we just had the time. Talk to a stranger. It’ll be good for both of you.

I love you, Cincinnati.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

As of today, more than 50% of all US federal government shut down days in history have happened during Trump presidencies

Them: I used ChapGPT to find a dinner recipe. Me: Oh, wow, so you like poisoning black neighborhoods so you can cook… *lowers reading glasses*…a roast chicken that’s still too dry. Wow.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Most military families are single-income due to frequent moves. Upwards of 25% of military families rely on some form of food assistance. But instead of increasing pay or providing more affordable food options, servicemembers are being offered a “deal” on a credit card…

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Cause the algorithms are increasingly shady and I don’t see much promotion, let me Gift Link this: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

Climate change claims another victim

Even beyond the grave the man is still out here doing good in the world. Blessings to Bob Ross and whatever happy little cloud he's sitting on right now.

American citizens sit injured in hospitals, shackled to the bed under pseudonyms every day in America. When we have ousted this authoritarian regime, let’s be sure to keep the momentum going and reform how law enforcement/corrections behave in hospitals.

As a millennial who recently walked away from an extremely demanding and highly lucrative job, this is bullshit.

Again, Kavanaugh justified racial profiling by claiming that this doesn't happen--a justification that becomes more preposterous with each passing day as Trump's goons terrorize more people based on the color of their skin ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

This weekend, Cincinnati independent booksellers are hosting the Cincy Book Crawl. I treated myself to 6 books from 5 stores, none of which I had ever been to before. Will go to several more tomorrow. If you don’t hear from me for the next several months, I’m reading and/or watching hockey.

overt nazi language in this DHS job listing (which i’m told is for a low-level but important job in adjudicating immigration applications and requires knowledge of the law)

Another Friday afternoon, another #SCOTUS grant of emergency relief to the Trump administration—this time to allow it to continue eliminating Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. The three Democratic appointees all dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

And this is truly all he ever cared about.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Hey, what’s Phase 2?
