Heart!!!!

Lol

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.

Awwwwwww ❤️💙🩷🤍💚💜🧡💛💛🩵❤️‍🔥💖🤎🩶🖤

Exploiting the “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” brain shortcut with their repetitive blanketing of a message. It doesn’t matter if the message is false, what matters is tainting the subject w/ the idea that there must be something to it to attract all this attention. The only defense is offense.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Bring the United Nations to Montreal.

We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

someone on here the other day said it feels like we’re watching a baseball game where one team decides every inning to not take their turn at bat

Stay strong, Ray. It looks like food supplies are running short as people appear to be bargaining for heirloom vegetables.

Even against the very low baseline of the national GOP, the Oregon GOP distinguishes itself by being uniquely angry, violent, and stupid. So, so stupid.

“The number of necessary troops is zero.” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Excellent piece on the way Connecticut utilities drove one of the nation's best utility regulators out of office through a campaign of slander, lawfare, & intimidation. If the clean energy world were organized worth a flying fuck, it would have made this a high-profile national fight.

“I have seen the truth; I have seen and I know that people can be beautiful and happy without losing the power of living on earth. I will not and cannot believe that evil is the normal condition of mankind. And it is just this faith of mine that they laugh at.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881)

Trying to support zeee farmers at the market. Going ham on ingredients today!!! Curried cream of cauliflower soup, salad with amazing cherry tomatoes and an apple raspberry tart all from the farmer’s market.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

That’s not going to be good.

Apparently no one can scan or skim anymore either?? 🤷🏽‍♂️ (Noted exception for dyslexia/reading disability, for whom scanning is a bitch.)

The US conservative movement has organized & funded a massive anti-wind power campaign, based on lies & bullying. Researchers at Brown University have been investigating & revealing that campaign. Now cons are pressuring the university to shut the investigators down.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

This rules so hard. It's been a longstanding conviction of mine that the best way to convince people to replace car trips with ebike trips is by letting them try out an ebike for free. Love the Oakland Public Library. oaklandside.org/2025/09/25/o...

For the ability to buy loads of cheap a$$ crap, Americans traded away the collective good (universal health care, high speed rail, abundant housing, etc.) and embraced an increasingly unregulated free market economy. It will be quintessentially American to rebel over inability to buy cheap shit!

This is the very definition of concentration camps.

E tú Montreal????? Say it isn’t so…. You are my North American North Star. What is this anti bike lane madness infecting our cities… this collective insanity… please resist!

That escalated quickly.

@angrywhitebitch.bsky.social @mooter55.bsky.social @eulimnadia.bsky.social @evodaily.bsky.social @mariablack.bsky.social @thevirologist.bsky.social When you get that fishy feeling. 🙄

We gotta open up the North American elevator standard so that we have more options for this dumb meme. I wanna see people finding rhymes for Orona, Schmitt+Sohn, and whatever they’ve got going on in China

If you own a car, there's a good chance it's recording data about you every single time you get behind the wheel — and selling it to companies for their own profit...

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

It’s just full on pillaging at this point.

The scars and desolation caused by mountain -top removal coal mining in southeast Kentucky are visible to the unaided eye *from the Moon*

I did not realize there were 50 members of Chi council… a lot to wrangle… hmmm, NY has 51. Now I’m looking up London. They have a mayor and 25 member London assembly… sort of co executive branches works with the 32 boroughs of London that come together in a mega council: London Council. Huh.

Love these little workshopping jokes clips!!!

Wow, if PPB, who has a history of instigation, shooting rubber bullets and profligate use of chemical weapons outlawed by international convention, says federal agents are instigating, it must be bad.

We call a CSA “being oppressed by vegetables.” But if you commit to using it all, really stretches your repertoire — totally worth it. Basically, you look forward to the oppression. Brainwashing? Maybe.

When I work in the greater Sacramento area, they will shut down in process district tours (walking /driving) if we see a single rain drop fall on a windshield! I’ve also noticed a funny aversion to rain in a lot of the very snowy and cold northern Midwest, which I’m like, “You go ice fishing!?!”

NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court. The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on. The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

Honestly, WaMu was one of the few banks I enjoyed working with/banking with. I still miss them.

Yep, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are far too busy writing strongly worded statements around a kitchen table to actually USE THEIR POWER, even in the minority. Investigative power is a great example.

We are living in a violent police state. I hope everyone who knows this man socially ostracizes him. This is inhuman and it is assault.

Dr Volts doing the unpleasant tasks so we don’t have to. Appreciation.
