“Down by 12 runs, in a surprise move the NY Yankees send… a sea cucumber in to pitch.”

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

Personally I’m glad the demented old dope continues to blather on about his chintzy ballroom. Rub that greed and disconnect in everyone’s faces until even the dimmest MAGA bulb gets it.

Scrolling snack

Another attack on satire, this time by Melania Trump. And note that this is another example of trying to silence speech through control of the news media.

A Reuters investigation found a broader-than-previously known Trump administration effort to expand federal control over elections across at least eight states reut.rs/3OOM7Ht

Let’s make sure she stays there. Primary in June/ General election in November.

The next time we choose teams before a fascist takeover of the US government, let’s pick people like The Incredible Hulk & Batman instead of… whatever the fuck these guys are.

Kidnapper forces hostages to make a statement.

Threatening war crimes is in itself a war crime. That threshold has already been crossed. And there is no statute of limitations on war crimes.

Call now.

This is insane. We’re living in crazy world.

What a counter factual way to frame things.

Far too many NJ voters, especially voters of color, face serious challenges when trying to vote. With the federal Voting Rights Act at risk of further erosion, NJ must immediately act to protect and expand voting rights by passing the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act of New Jersey (S282/A1715).

How to Help Win The Midterms

Never forget how ignorant, incompetent and ridiculous they are.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Wow.

wrote about the president’s flagrant and destructive corruption in a column that references street fighter, the simpsons, machiavelli, and a host of revolutionary-era americans (gift link)

“One of the attorneys said part of the operational plan involves undercover ICE and FBI agents attending and documenting church security plans.”

Sergey Brin is even more MAGA than Bezos or Zuckerberg

To summarize: ICE Agents are indistinguishable from criminals.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor. I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

Really excellent @tressiemcphd.bsky.social this morning on Platner: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

Now would be a really good time to donate to or volunteer with your local food bank. You can start by looking here:

Montclair, NJ #NOKINGS

Cringe away, kids. My sign for tomorrow is done.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Keys to the office? Check! ✅ Sworn in as Congresswoman? Not quite 🙅🏻‍♂️

"The boy, who is Hispanic and African American, was held in a garage for five hours “without informing his family, stating any charges, or allowing him to call an attorney,” the statement said. He is a U.S. citizen, as is his entire immediate family, the release said."

Disney/Hulu: *cancelled* Paramount+: *cancelled* Amazon Prime: *cancelled* Spotify: *cancelled* T-Mobile: in process of canceling… they have their claws dug in. Facebook/Instagram/X: *deleted* (long time ago) Target/Walmart: *boycotting* Who am I missing? Feeling extra pissed off and feisty.

Let’s see how democratic leadership fucks this one up.

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

The person who wants to be the governor of my state just voted to honor Charlie Kirk. The Democratic Party is completely and utterly lost.

Old man yells at clouds.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Any predictions on how long until the fascists turn their evil regulatory eye towards BlueSky? I’m thinking next week.

I’ve always been against robbing artists of fair compensation for their work. But if your art supports the corporations that are robbing us all of our freedoms then I have an idea. Also, support *independent* artists, writers & journalists while you still can.

There’s a lot of things I have to do in this life, but giving my money to fascists isn’t one of them.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

D.C. A.G. Schwalb says not so fast, A.G. Bondi. "It is my opinion that the Bondi Order is unlawful, and that you [MPD Chief Smith] are not legally obligated to follow it."

Using force to displace unhoused people doesn’t make anyone safer.

Every single person involved in or collaborating with this fascist coup will need to be prosecuted for there to be any hope of restoring democracy. Any dem politician demanding any less needs to be tossed aside.
