Was a mistake to drop the "weird" attack

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

to hear our government say they consider the forces that tried to stop Nazi Germany as their enemy... they’re still mad they couldn’t seize power sooner more than 80 years ago.

On Jocktober 8th I got a haircut

i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"

Björk says her childhood friend Magga Stína has been kidnapped by the Israeli army: “She sailed on a boat following Greta Thunberg in trying to open the path for international aid to Gaza.”

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility. Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying. All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition? JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back R: Why not now? J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

WOW....👀👀👀

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

The wild, extremist lurch of the GOP is truly the only news story of the last 30 years. More or less every political story (SCOTUS, Trump, civil rights, COVID, Tea Party, climate change etc etc) in that time is a smaller story explained by, and demonstrative of, that one major trend.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

I spent so much money on this

the choice of anyone to use x more than bluesky at this point is super telling

maybe we should have given Rihanna more credit for becoming a billionaire and then deciding to stop singing

every republican president of my lifetime has completely destroyed the economy

Jocktober thread starts now!

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

I will be participating in Jocktober be warned now

drinking wine and buying Legos

tis the season

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

The spin is the the current president has lost connection with reality, and every Democrat with a mic should be saying that

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

it's a good night of cooking when I use all my oils

6'4 btw

not the only issue but I'm so over Democrats talking like Republicans "want to do good and are misaligned". These people want to do evil, and many are effective at it!

beach day 😎

I'm no lawyer, but I just don't think there's any way to understand the Court's majority as part of a coherent and legitimate tradition of legal interpretation. It's part of a conspiracy against the republic, happening out in the open and with impunity.

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I thought I looked hot there but y'all didn't respond I guess 🚮

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

Brands advertising v-necks oh the economy is about to CRASH crash isn’t it

it's just whoever buys the most heads of garlic, easy

Anyways, political violence is bad. Shutting down the Broadview Facility at 1930 Beach Street is good. And ICE agents should be prosecuted for their crimes.

it's always "Ben, your ass is so great, let me eat it",

Logan Lerman makes me so HORNY

Bi men are wonderful

HAPPENING NOW: Rep. @jayapal.house.gov hosts a shadow hearing to delve deeper into the cases of those lawlessly disappeared as well as the economic impacts of mass deportation.

The last couple of days have made it abundantly clear that Bluesky has two tiers of moderation (for any who missed the way they treat Palestinian accounts, Black accounts and trans accounts). White right wing voices will be prioritised, every single time. Bluesky Safety is a sham.

how about a little snack for #humpday

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.
