Again, definitely not trans. Will we see his beloved messages to a roommate soon? What will the spin here be?

This is quite the parallel.

“The cost of flying and lodging the military leaders will be in the millions. “The event has also raised security concerns about having the top leadership in one place, and if the government shuts down, it could leave key personnel stranded from their units” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

He deleted the insane Medbed video. Just because it happened overnight, don’t miss that Trump just did possibly the craziest thing he’s ever done. He posted an AI video of what looked like a Fox News report showing Trump announcing new technology that would cure all ills. People believe this exists.

The Coast Guard did actually intercept and then release a fishing boat that it thought was smugglers in between the time of the first and second airstrikes, so Vance is fully aware of the very significant possibility that they're shooting innocent people.

America is such a messed up place that we have folks doing drive by shootings on boats. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

They did it, they did the meme www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

She was, it turns out, always a true believer, and for the autocrat, the lying insincere clever opportunistic courtier who doesn’t believe a word of it is more reliable than the true believer.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

"Democracy dies if prominent black writers don't frame their arguments around appeasing white voters in Wisconsin," or "Democracy dies unless liberal writers praise radical, hateful conservative activists" is the subtext. And it's worth thinking through who makes these kinds of arguments and why.

"Being respectful of our history" means not lying about it. There are not, actually, "a lot of questions" about this grisly massacre You should put your "confidence and trust" in the nonpartisan scholars who have studied this extensively instead of a right-wing Fox & Friends propagandist

If any media outlet in South Dakota would like to be respectful of our history by putting their confidence and trust in an actual historian, there are lots of great scholars who will explain why Whiskey Pete’s version of events is utter bullshit

it's a great interview, and what's striking is that at the end of the day both klein and coates believe in winning people over. the difference is that coates thinks you do this by telling them the truth, and klein thinks you do it by empathizing with them and recognizing their concerns as Real

Btw "everything is a distraction from Epstein" internet people & "everything is a distraction from health care policy" official Democratic accounts, eventually the overrepresented-on-Bluesky people who care most about collapse of the constitutional order & ethnic cleansing will lose our minds.

hi, it's me, I'm the one who just lost my mind from Hakeem Jeffries' official account's post, it's me.

And the admin is likely to try to deport him again once he’s out of the hospital.

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

gotta say, it’s not great that the belief that portland is an antifa gomorrah which must be destroyed has become a load-bearing tenet of conservative ideology

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence... Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

Basically, you can get fired as a government employee for doing what Jerry Jones and Jaime Dimon did in 2020

Important case to follow happening in LA. Three women who run activist Instagram accounts charged with conspiracy and doxxing of an ICE agent after posting a livestream outside the agent’s house. Details about how they threatened the agent are still murky. www.latimes.com/california/s...

you know things are bad if cops are complaining about other cops

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.” -Declaration of Independence

1964 was only 60 years ago. At that time we were a segregated society that treated Black citizens as not citizens and a large swathe of the country tolerated it. They only went into hiding but they never admitted defeat. We can't make that mistake this time around. No reconciliation w/o penance.

Also, if you DO post Portland at Peace, please indicate where we have permission to share them on Xitter.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

What if I were to tell you most well-adjusted people don’t have a favorite political commentator of any sort?

I feel seen.

The way the media spins stories like this is “look how the dogged cops cleared this terrible quadruple-murder 34 years later” and not “oh by the way they totally accused and convicted the wrong guys before, oops lol” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

this is just fucking insane. i feel like i'm hallucinating reading this. we just finished getting hot cocoa and blackberry thyme coffeecake and now we're taking the babies to an ancient forest to watch the old people doing tai chi. this could not be a calmer happier city

The sheer fucking condescension of the “things have always been bad, so things are no worse now” people is exhausting. And the only conclusion you can draw from the insistence on this shit is “… therefore, it’s hopeless and also you should give up”. It is, in fact, vital to point out the declines.

President Trump’s plan to impose a 100% tariff on branded and patented drug imports was greeted with a shrug by many investors.

Bessent, Vought, & Trump are giving Argentina a $20 billion bailout but will conduct massive firings in the US as they force a government shut down bsky.app/profile/judd...

Here are two of the most influential people in liberal media, David Remnick and Ezra Klein, telling each other outright lies about what the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said because years of exposure to conservative grievance media pounded the original facts of the case out of their skulls

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

There is no argument against birthright citizenship other than “I am incredibly racist and don’t like it” It is clearly and simply spelled out in the 14th amendment - if you are born here, you are an American citizen.

this woman has been working at Nintendo for almost 20 years and nearly a decade longer than the guy she is replacing how much more qualified does she have to be lol

the court is a solvable problem if they have the courage

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

What the fuck?

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files
