In advance of Black Friday in this era of AI slop, economic peril, and rising fascism, I encourage Blueskyers to shop from real artists. Link your work in this thread so everyone can find you! #craftiverse 🧶 #art I'm DustOnMyBoots on Etsy, selling bookmarks and pins. www.etsy.com/shop/dustonm...

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Mamdani rolls for Persuasion: "Natural 20! ...My total is... 41. Let's goooooo!" DM looking over the rims of their glasses, like their soul has left their body: "...Fucking Bards, I swear."

Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

I think maybe people want to vote for good people?

Reminder: Food banks need money more than food! They have access to buying things cheaper than you do, and they know what the community needs better than we do!

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

I love being able to cool down my feet mid hike (Slim Bay @ Charleston Lake Provincial Park) while keeping them totally dry! Thanks for the super comfy, 100% waterproof boots @keenfootwear.bsky.social !

I’ve maintained this from the get. A small handful of people will own the entire agricultural industry and the land in the US. It’s been the plan for many years. It’s also been no secret what was coming yet it mystifies me as to why farmers have predominantly supported the party that wants this.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

I refused to placate the bully. Then I refused to placate the institutions who placated the bully. Then I refused to placate the shills who placate the institutions who placate the bully. I'm still standing; the rest are down. Never placate the bully.

My latest on Russia’s weakness.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

A liberal academic cannot be trusted to talk about his area of expertise, but a conservative POLITICIAN, speaking directly to the ideological biases of his base, can get his unfounded claims right in the headline of an article no one clicks thru to see the evidence proving his claim unfounded.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

Would have been nice if folks had figured out the Dems are complicit enablers years ago and spent 2021-2024 planning ways to fight a predictable authoritarian onslaught instead of giving them a billion dollars...

In our latest for The Breach, Jared and I do a deep dive on how continued tax haven abuse is not just despite our government policy - it's because of our government policy.

Wonderfully clear framing of the issues. Looking forward to that book, @walkerbragman.bsky.social!

60 Minutes Australia ran a well-reported 20 minute segment on Trump & Epstein yesterday. But it’s been pulled from the internet. It would be a pity if this link to the report went viral archive.org/details/60-m...

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down — all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...

For the Epsteinth time, an 'underage woman' is called a CHILD. Thanks for coming to my Pred Talk.

Just wait. The comments after the post will confirm this post's truth.

This is why the consolidation of data is a big fucking deal and the changes I wrote about in Bill C2 will make this possible. As it stands, different government departments cannot access your data without permission. Now they can. Data will also become less anonymized so anyone can be targeted
