The Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress so there's a "way out" of a government shutdown if they can only get their shit together. This isn't on Democrats, at all.

Soybeans are (were) Tennessee’s #1 cash crop 🧑‍🌾 😕 Trump is crushing our farmers. Why don’t @GovBillLee @RepChrisTodd @rustygrills @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @RepOgles @RepTimBurchett Sexton etc. care?

JD Vance is now using the term "blood libel" to describe criticism of ICE, saying, "The Democrats and the media — because they so hate the idea of a real border — are engaging in a kind of blood libel against ICE agents." Somewhere, our ancestors wept.

this is a real video eric adams posted today.. not sure he remembers he's running for mayor or what at this point

I just saw an influencer on TikTok say that they refuse to give their child Tylenol, and instead they only give them acetaminophen so I’m just logging off for the day

It's felt insane to see ads for this show get plastered across social media like none of this ever happened. Comments like "didn't this guy sexually assault someone?" get deleted asap. I used to think it was a self-aware show about an egoist; now I know it's actually an egoist thinking he's a genius

Bondi fires a Jewish lawyer while he was out of the office for Rosh Hashanah (and fires him for illegal reasons)

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.

Annoyingly my MacBook screen broke this week (waiting on repairs) so I’m gonna be behind on TV in general but especially sad I’ll have to wait for this week’s Peacemaker (sounds like it’s worth it though?)

My conspiracy theory is that the violent people on the right were hired by ICE this year and that's why their recorded criminal violence has dropped.

You get three guesses on the author and the first two don’t count

yes the nazis did. that was their first plan

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

In case AI art didn't made you mad already.

You know, it's like I've always said: if you can't trust someone who doesn't have an MD and can't even spell the name of a disease correctly for your medical advice, then, really, who *can* you trust?

This is what unity looks like.

we are all subsidizing a.i. whether we like it or not

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

At NYFF we go from a movie without an ending to a movie with too many endings. After the Hunt is tiresome.

I am so happy I got to see this movie and it is worth every bit of hype it gets. A wonderful, sad, funny, dark, weird, and emotionally powerful movie that really is one of the best movies of the year. #fantasticfest #filmsky #ausefulghost

If we ever win again and the new government is progressive it would be cool to have some sort of new deal situation where they hire tons of people to undo all the damage that’s been done, like fixing the govt websites and stuff. Huge public works stuff

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

The massive success of "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" is a clear sign that a new era has arrived for anime in American theaters.

A House of Dynamite is gonna be extremely divisive, not so much for what’s on-screen (it’s a tense, expertly edited thriller that flies by) but more for what isn’t. Hard to delve into without spoilers. #NYFF

With the rise of AI and... well, everything's that is happening, really—I urge you all to read. There's a dismantling of Humanities for a reason, so you should read: fiction, poetry, History, everything. Take with you the lessons of previous generations, make your life richer, learn new things.

“The Jews”

let’s hand it to president brain genius for raising the issue salience of prescription drug pricing right as his party is about to shut down the government rather than stop health care premiums from jumping by double digit percentages

TIL there's a huge major comedy show in Saudi Arabia happening and also that Zach Woods remains a king

Trump is bailing out Argentina’s economy to the tune of $20 billion while our farmers are enduring a crisis that he caused with his tariffs. On top of that, food, housing, health care and electricity costs continue skyrocketing. That’s not putting America first.

Imagine doing this in full view of all those cameras because you know you face zero consequences

I'm sharing this not because I care about Emma Watson but because I know how exhausting it is for trans people to wake up every day and find another person kicking you under the bus. I don't think that's what she's doing.

Loving someone unconditionally does not mean you support their views. I love my parents unconditionally. It hurts me deeply that they saw Trumps anti-trans rhetoric and voted for him anyway.

You can love transphobes and be sad that they're transphobes and still think their views are horrible and dangerous and wish they would change! Ask me how I know!

Guys can we please fucking read an article for once. Emma Watson did not say she supports JK Rowling or her views. She expressed regret that the person she'd come to think of as family *disowned* her for standing up for trans people. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Emma Watson is NOT selling out trans people. She’s politely yet passive-aggressively calling out her crazy cult aunt who won’t talk to her, while also taking advantage of her privilege as maybe the only person who SHOULD be talking Rowling down from her hatred.

Forget everything you already know about America's most notorious dead person. Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile is in select theaters October 2.

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

It appears that there is an increasingly high chance Israel will be banned next week from UEFA due to its genocide in Gaza, which would in turn effectively end its hopes of qualifying for the World Cup. I have heard this independently confirmed from another source. www.thetimes.com/article/11e9...

Also, significantly, she’s not saying any trans people should talk to her. But as a privileged ally with a past personal connection to her, she’s kind of the one person who SHOULD be trying to talk to Rowling?

The important context that makes her statements fine is that Rowling is NOT talking to her, and in Rowling’s case, being even willing to talk would mean she’s been deradicalized. This is “I love my aunt who left for a cult and my door is open when she leaves.”

Microsoft revokes cloud services from Israel’s Unit 8200, following +972 exposé The tech giant blocked access after we revealed the Israeli army had been using its servers to store millions of Palestinians' intercepted phone calls. Yuval Abraham reports. www.972mag.com/microsoft-cl...

They're trying to paint a 4chan edgelord who loved offensive online humor and shot a bunch of detainees being held by ICE as a leftist

Fuck this is so upsetting. I wrote about Bluestocking Books in my newsletter last year, bc it's an indispensable community resource and one of the last feminist bookstores standing. I hate that it ended this way. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I love this picture of Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima because it looks like they’re expecting.

“ICE shooting” is trending, and we have to stop using the right’s language and terminology. No one from ICE was shot. Detainees were shot.

Against all odds, looks like we’re announcing this tomorrow morning. (No, it’s not Infowars… yet?)

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
