An indictment of how Rochester and Monroe County handle homelessness

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Four people arrested for allegedly gambling. Instead of just arresting them, federal agents terrorized hundreds of people, including children. www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...

this needs to be codified immediately

all these fuckin "tech bros" have their hands in trumps pie

BREAKING NYT: A shell fired during a live-fire demonstration at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, according to a patrol report.

Two tons of bronze ingots, from melting down Charlottesville’s statue of Robert E. Lee, are now on display in the LA Museum of Modern Art “Monuments” exhibit. The @jsaahccville.bsky.social Swords Into Plowshares project will select an artist to use the bronze to create public art for Charlottesville

Please note. CPD showed untitled. The police & protesters talk & protesters start to clear street. No issues. ICE then dispenser tear gas on a withdrawing crowd, knowing full well they are gassing CPD. ICE is intentionally trying to aggravate the crowd & cause harm to CPD.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT GUYS GUYS THIS IS IS SEISMIC GUYS I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU OPUS DEI IS THE SCIENTOLOGY OF CATHOLICISM THEY ARE THE ONLY THING "THE DA VINCI CODE" GOT RIGHT THEY ARE AWFUL AND THEY ARE EVIL AND THEY HAVE ENORMOUS POWER AND THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO TRADFASH CATHOLICISM

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

I'm 53 years old and I still don't know the difference between medium and mild. it all seems like a scheme by Big Adjective

On Lt Columbo Day never let us forget the episode where Columbo explains to a fitness guru how Mrs Columbo is thick, that he likes her thick, and how he will do anything within his power to keep her thick

Translation: they gave him a plane and filled his family’s pockets

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this* They don't give their opinion to the media They don't criticize how SCOTUS works This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Sure it's blobby, but this is our clearest look at two supermassive black holes in orbit around each other. The primary one is 18 billion times the mass of the Sun! The image was created using a space-based antenna that created a combined telescope 190,000 km wide. 🔭🧪 www.utu.fi/en/news/pres...

America, they aren’t trying to serve you. They’re trying to hurt the people who serve you. Bc then rich people can pay less taxes. Let’s talk about capital maintenance. Follow along.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized? TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

BREAKING: ICE agents just abducted a press camera operator in Chicago. WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape. What the hell is happening in America? (🎥 Original footage via Josh Thomas/FB)

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded. “A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected. “Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed” 🎁 www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Nice work Jim Watson, nice work.

gang, there are going to be between 20k-40k people at the portland NO KINGS rally, and at least half are going to be wearing inflatable costumes, i want you to think about how funny that looks for a minute

The Onion Investigates: Jeffrey Epstein

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.” Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom." This is a good time to revisit our guide to preparing for repression: crimethinc.com/Safeguarding

it’s all just a grift

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

Last Friday, USDA issued new info about how some of the Republican megabill’s deepest #SNAP cuts will take effect. This guidance goes beyond what's required by law, setting states up to fail with implementation & increasing the risk eligible people lose SNAP unnecessarily.🧵

UPDATE: I saw it happen! At the Birds Canada research station at the tip of Long Point I watched an expert ever-so-gently and carefully put one of these tiny tags on a monarch. Let me walk you through the steps (1/4)

o7

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Did you know that Rochester, NY used to have its own subway? It ran along the path of the Erie Canal after it was rerouted post-WWI. Here's a promotional film from 1956, its twilight years, showing what a ride was like. Most of the route is now I-490. #ROC #rochesterny youtu.be/SKE-Drry7O8?...

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."
