SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation. youtu.be/9OBdjsGntQI?...

The un-American label haunts the party that reversed the great depression (caused in no small part by conservative governance) and won wwii. Wild stuff.

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

9. As a species, we have figured out war to an astonishing degree. We are still working on the ability to hold peace. Real peace requires self-determination and justice. It requires trusting that differences do not make us enemies.

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile debuts tonight on The Onion's YouTube channel at 7 p.m. ET. Finally somebody will release some dang Epstein Files if you know what I'm sayin'!!!

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

More Democrats need to follow JB Pritzker's lead and directly confront MAGA's ongoing campaign to crush our democracy. It's not a time for any Democratic politician to hide in their office making fundraising calls. Get your ass out there. Denounce the fascists. Be loud.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

What’s a good band you’ve discovered recently that not enough people know about? And don’t be like The Beatles you piece of shit, you ornery fuck

Russia’s targeting strategy is genocidal. Ukraine’s targeting strategy is very much in line with how state’s undertake conventional warfare, especially states defending themselves against invasion from their neighbors. 15 & end/

I love almost everything about @bsky.app. I don’t love that despite an admirable layer of open moderation, the company retains final power over setting and enforcing rules on its app. I propose separating @safety.bsky.app & @moderation.bsky.app from the Bluesky company, under community control.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

They want a fight. They deserve a clowning.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to. Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now controls the past Who controls the past now controls the future Who controls the present now?

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

The entirety of Congressional D messaging about the budget – 100% of it - should be: Rs control the White House. Rs control the Senate. Rs control the House. Rs control SCOTUS. A government shutdown proves they cannot govern.

Holy shit this opinion. Wow.

You don’t have to read between the lines. Trump is literally saying, publicly and out loud, that he is at war — actual, military-involved war — with Americans and American cities he personally dislikes. That impeachment is politically off the table is a national scandal.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

This whole section really.

When Democrats refuse to defend their actual views or immediately move to abandon them, it is hard not to conclude they (a) won't fight for you, the voter, if they won't fight for themselves and; (b) are unprincipled and didn't hold those beliefs anyway so why trust them at all?

If Democrats don't make this the biggest story in the country for the next several days - and either force Republicans to denounce it or not, what are we even doing here? Every voter should know about this. (Imagine what would happen if, say, Mother Jones wrote this.) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Yet again, the GOP supermajority steps in to allow Trump to break the law. The case will be decided on the merits later, it says, when the damage cannot be undone. But in the meantime it is giving the Trump administration a green light to engage in impoundment.

Just a reminder that the attorney general of the United States is our lawyer not his

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

Respectfully Senator: we ARE fighting. Leadership is not. It’s time to remove Schumer as the opposition leader. He is not up for this fight.

JUST IN: A new class action lawsuit challenges ICE's warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C., which they say are occuring without probable cause and based largely on perceived ethnicity. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

We just totally normalized & moved on from this, the greatest constitutional crime in 🇺🇸 history. Elon & a bunch of techbro fake government employees with no security clearances going in & dismantling large swathes of the government Congress created. They need to go to jail, some, like Elon, forever.

So many: No turn signals Slow in the passing lane Giving away right of way Rolling through stops Being on your fucking phone The stink of trucks Driving like you've got no place to be

👀 the WSJ describing Trump finding out about its story about the Epstein birthday book and telling aides "he would try to kill the story himself." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people stop working. It makes people stop panicking. Panicking about rent. Panicking about bills. Panicking about choosing between medicine and food. Imagine what America could build if survival wasn’t our full-time job. #UBI

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

hello, i made this bot. i am a trans autistic anti-fascist. you are following a work of trans autistic anti-fascist art. that is why it is screaming
