“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

At least 61 people have now been killed by Trump/Hegseth's military blowing up vessels in the Caribbean Sea & the Pacific. @stevevladeck.bsky.social answers the question “Is this s—t legal?!” Added BONUS: We also discuss the latest unusual development from SCOTUS. youtu.be/s5UwTnXVX7c?...

they are trying to kill every trans kid in America when these rules actually come out, they will be open for public comment and all of us need to flood submissions, call our reps, make noise, everything including the kitchen sink unconscionable evil

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

A thought I never expected to have: House of Windsor currently beating the US government on transparency and accountability.

Mark Walter now officially owns the Lakers and the Dodgers. Just remember that a subsidiary of Walter's Guggenheim Partners owns a stake in GEO, Trump's private prison and ICE detention contractor. Walter is profiting off the surveillance, detention, and kidnapping of immigrants and US citizens.

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino) to the Aurora Police following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests So here it is!

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

How do you not love Chicago?

POLLS ARE NOW OPEN. Find out where you early vote ⬇️ 🗳️ findmypollsite.vote.nyc

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is. They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

CA: Voting on Prop. 50 starts today. Your vote is likely your best means of holding back tyranny in your lifetime. Mark your ballot (this is a one-issue election, so it will take about sixty seconds to mark, seal, and sign/date. Mail, drop off, or take to a Vote Center to scan, and you're golden!

The incident is marks the third straight day that federal agents have deployed tear gas against Chicagoans and the seventh time in 22 days. Video from a photographer for the @chicagotribune.com:

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

Tax the rich. Also, corporations aren’t people, and money isn’t speech.

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing. (📸 Getty Images)

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

Home Depot siding with ICE is not only fucked up but I hope it runs them out of business because I have to imagine that the contractors who hire these folks spend much more money on materials at the store than the federal government and ICE

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

HOME DEPOT is part of the coup. I’ve heard their name too many times. Bye bye 👋

christ almighty what is this guy doing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021. The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

This prof of art history at Hunter's old thread reminds me of a story that I'm too lazy to look up now: Fred Trump deliberately destroying early 20th century Coney Island attractions he promised he wouldn't destroy out of spite. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Real banana republic vibes, here

Let’s see…..

Exclusive: Trump's demolition of the White House East Wing is nearly complete. Photos obtained by Law Dork show the dramatic extent of the first step in Trump's purported plan to build a new ballroom on White House grounds with private funds.

The DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, as first reported by Bloomberg, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the General Requirements section that prohibit surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.

The man should be in prison. But sure, let's pay him a quarter of a billion for being a criminal.

Why should you care that the president’s appointees at DOJ, including his former personal attorneys, could decide whether he gets a $230M payout directly to him? Because that money is coming directly from all of us, the U.S. taxpayers. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

He is literally destroying the White House. #LawlessPOTUS #ImpeachAndRemove #WhiteTrashWhiteHouse

These fucking scumbags.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

News in Colombia reports that Alejandro Carranza, a career fisherman pictured below, was one of the people Trump killed when he blew up his boat.

Governor Pritzker spoke at the #NoKings rally in Chicago:

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them: MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING. This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.

In distress, no less? Good god.
