Right wing men: being a wife and a mother is the most important job in the world. Also right wing men: that bitch should have gotten a “real” job instead of taking my money.

This is called rent, except you’re responsible for all the expenses, insurance and taxes.

"It is difficult to anticipate problems of readers who are inattentive." -- E. P. Thompson

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Folks really should read up on Jordan Wood. Mills isn’t the only other Dem running. Cons: - No prior elected office (same as Platner) Pros: + Congressional staffing experience + Under 70 years old (36, fwiw) + Not a former mercenary + No Nazi tattoos

Agency scientists speak out about the irreplaceable facilities, institutional knowledge and training opportunities that the USA is losing go.nature.com/3WB8bFS

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess). www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

They're STILL protecting the sexual predators who raped young girls procured by Epstein and Maxwell. And there's strong evidence to suggest one of those predators is currently the President of the United States.

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...

"If we had a contingency fund." You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded? www.notus.org/trump-white-...

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Graham Platner’s campaign thought they could silence me by offering me money and calling me a liar in the press. I was going to let it go. It has become increasingly clear they are unfamiliar with Maine women.

Apropos of nothing, this piece by @anildash.com is very, very good (and accurately reflects my views and those of many of my colleagues) www.anildash.com/2025/10/17/t...

These pundits show the same lack of humility and inability to own their mistakes that they complain about in politicians. Is it really too hard to say, “Pod Got Hoodwinked?” And honestly, their listeners would understand. These guys are pundits, not reporters. They got snookered. Just own it.

we dont know you, you worked for blackwater, youve never voted on policy. you have to earn trust man, go run for state house and vote the way youre talking for a decade and then we’ll talk

This guy is a progressive running for the Senate in Maine. He has a tattoo, too. But it's an Obama one, not a Nazi one.

Folks, Jordan Wood is running for the U.S. Senate in Maine in 2026. He’s a Democrat. He’s 36 years old. He’s a progressive. His campaign emphasizes anti-corruption, standing up against corporations and wealth, and pro-democracy reform. Check him out… @jordanwood.bsky.social

MAHA’s out here all smug with their lies about vaccines and sat fats while the same administration cuts nutrition benefits for children. Talk to me about removing food dyes when every kid in the U.S. has enough to eat. We are the richest country in dollars and the poorest in humanity.

The US actually supplies illicit fentanyl to Canada, not the other way around. But Trump would not be OK with Carney vaporizing random American fishermen on the Great Lakes on suspicion of bringing fentanyl into Canada.

All these people are saying “wait to you think he’s REALLY a Nazi,” and my response is “no I think it’s more likely he’s an irony-poisoned edgelord douchebro, another group that’s absolutely ruining the fucking country.”

I get it. Platner was exciting and Janet Mills is unbuttered toast, but we need to have some standards here.

I explained that Platner is not going to be a senator, we have other options, and he should get out of the race. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/graham-pla...

This is the project manager at the company, responsible for tearing down the east wing of the White House. It would be a damn shame if anybody called him. I mean, just anybody. #USDemocracy #ItsOurHouse

TruthOut: 'I Am One of 20 Million in US With Long COVID. RFK Pulled the Rug From Under Us.' 'RFK Jr. has shut down the Office of Long COVID Research and Practice, gutted funding, and derailed trials and studies.' By Jesse Hagopian truthout.org/articles/i-a...

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Oldheads remember how 5 minutes after obama's landslide victory/inauguration, CNN (not Fox) turned themselves into The Tea Party Network and Politico became the Sarah Palin Daily

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

You know what's interesting? When John Brown was captured, a number of prominent abolitionists (led by Thoreau) decided to sing his virtues instead of immediately denouncing his use of violence

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Let Kamala have her fucking book tour If y'all wanted to protest her, y'all should have elected her Stop blaming Kamala, she didn't tank the economy and send stormtroopers into US cities

I just feel y’all need to be aware of that the membership of Young Republicans is currently attacking the few Republicans who have condemned the group chat. These aren’t a few “bad apples.” This is who Young Republicans are. “I love Hitler” is the future of the GOP.

If you’re not following ProPublica, you’re missing out on great investigative journalism.

More unnecessary civility by Dems.🤦‍♀️ Also, can we stop calling it a “peace deal” and more accurately refer to it as a “prisoner swap”? Call me skeptical, but I don’t think lasting Middle East peace is anywhere within reach these days.

You can arrest us or pepper spray us or whatever, but we will make you look stupid and feel silly doing it because wanting to assert control is stupid. You want to assert control? Do it to an inflatable frog! So, it’s not just a meme thing, it’s a Portland cultural thing.

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious. Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.” “That sounds terrible.” “What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t. And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks. Did I get that right?

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.

JD VANCE: "My mother got the drugs that almost killed her from Mexicans." REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

“It’s Cracker Barrel all the way down” is my new go-to descriptor of GOP brain rot.

Strong statement today from UC's Academic Senate:

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

What Hegseth did today was inform an organization he’s unqualified to lead that (a) any area in which he believes he personally excels (e.g. physical fitness) is all that matters, and (b) any area in which he’s deficient (leadership, morality, ethics, record, experience, intelligence) is immaterial.

Serious question: why would the Democrats in Congress bother discussing anything about the budget with Republicans when the budget doesn't have to be followed?

This would be a good time to buy Laetrile stock.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

“Everybody has a lifespan, and eventually you do get into some sort of decline phase. The United States is still enormously powerful, we’re not on the verge of disappearing from the great power equations of the Earth, but is this thing pushing itself towards some sort of terminal failure? Yeah, “
