I am loving this podcast! This one is set in Wisco?! 😱😱Even better!

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote. Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

There it is

251 years ago today: Britain passes the “Quebec Act,” which cedes control of the future state of Wisconsin (as well as much of the Midwest) to Canada. This act infuriated American colonists and fueled the anger that would build into the American revolution 6 months later.

Funding eliminated 👇🏼👇🏼

Probably not unless they’re facing a loaded firearm at close range but even then…doubtful

It is so incredibly weird and scary and disheartening to watch the world's most powerful nation being systematically dismantled and pilfered by a gang of ego-thugs led by a painted carnival barker who is literally famous for being a greedy crooked cheat.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Heads up Wisco 👇🏼👇🏼

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Tyranny isn’t American. Defiance of tyranny is. Trump might think he’s warming people up to the idea of authoritarianism, but he’s encountering patriotic resistance at every turn. From judges, governors, ordinary citizens…like us. True Americans will not go quietly into the night.

NEWS: The United States Supreme Court has declined to review Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal convictions for sex trafficking

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. No one, and I mean NO ONE, has done more harm to America than the president of Puerto Rico.

You may not be paying attention to this story, but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with. Kyren took his own life in April.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Reminds of this lyric 😉 ‘I’m only happy when it rains…I’m only happy when I’m constipated’

“So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.” - Ray Bradbury

Just returned from a weekend getaway to Lake Superior in Brimley MI. I was blown away by how clean the water was, but even more impressive was how clean the shores are. That is solid stewardship. If you haven’t seen it in person, you must. 💙💙💙

‘Pro-life’ crowd says…. 🦗🦗🦗

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first.

There are cops who go years without unholstering their weapon on duty. The faster someone reaches for their gun, the bigger the coward they are. These ICE fuckers cling to them like a baby’s pacifier.

Did you know that Diddy had a speaking engagement scheduled for next week? He thought he was going home. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison in case involving sex workers

Did you actually think I was serious? Lighten up friend. We’re trying down here. 🤷🏻‍♀️

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers. Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

Apparently this is Canada in the distance. Should I make a swim for it? 🤔

@upbeachbum.bsky.social It’s Lake Superior weekend! I’m surrounded by loveliness. 🌳🌊

Trump and Republicans spread lies and scapegoat immigrants to distract you from how they are picking your pockets. Do not be fooled.

FYI Folks are commenting with links for their merch - usually tee shirts. I am hiding and blocking those after seeing posts about sketchy links earlier this week. If you’re selling, kindly do it from your own account and posts. Not mine.

I would like to state for the record that I do NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK if undocumented people get healthcare through the ACA (they don’t BTW). Actually, that’s inaccurate… I WANT them to get affordable healthcare, because I want EVERYONE here to get good healthcare.

A federal court in Michigan threw out a claim by Moms For Fascism who wanted to ban lgbtq books in Lowell High School. All she needs to do is tell her kids they are not allowed to read those books. But she wanted to force her way into everyone's lives. michiganadvance.com/2025/10/01/f...

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Audacious! 😱 He stands to lose his pension. Beyond that he was treated as you would expect someone of his demographic and profession would be. You know, 2 tiers and all. 🙄

Very relieved to join others who are similarly confused by this gibberish. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Thought I was losing it here for a minute. We need a Danica to English translation tool, evidently.

A sixty-year-old couple in Mankato making $89,000 combined will pay an EXTRA $1500 every single month just to get health insurance if we don’t get a shutdown deal. That’s why we’re fighting so hard.

Is it time to start checking the feet for mottling??? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I wrote this piece about 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's murder. On the costs of speaking the truth in today's world. And how Jamal's memory still stalks Saudi Arabia--- and the Washington Post. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

History has many painful lessons.

I know it's popular to say if Stephen Miller got laid and/or wasn't picked on in school he wouldn't be like he is. As someone who didn't get laid and got picked on in school I'm pretty sure there is something more deeply wrong with him than tough school days.

Awww, UHC is broadcasting testimonials from satisfied insureds talking about how supported they feel by their giant healthcare gatekeeper. I wonder if they’ll show any people pleading for coverage or reimbursement. 🙄

state sanctioned murders 👇🏼👇🏼

Finally, a major media outlet will be headed by a true free speech warrior who got her start trying to get her professors fired

So if I start a riot and try to overthrow the country, will YouTube give me $24 million too?
