Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

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

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Anyone who has experience in an abusive household, or who has worked with people in them, or has read a lot about them, will be familiar with a particular dynamic: Dad is full of loud passions & intense moods, sweeping through like a thunderstorm, unpredictable, volatile, often violent. He is ...

I think the only surprise here is how quickly this is happening this openly. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Dutch late night TV has its take

This is why there's no point in highlighting their glaring inconsistencies. They gleefully argue in bad faith, knowing that doing so when the other side argues in good faith gives them the advantage.

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

The failure of libertarians to pick the right side in this has exposed their whole thought system. A principled libertarian attack on limiting government overreach would be welcome at this time. Put no such thing exists. Libertarian just means selfish.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

God dammit. Timing couldn’t be worse but here goes. Chuck Schumer and I are launching our new podcast “Soul Deep: A Weekly Deep Dive Into the Music of Collective Soul” tomorrow. I do NOT support his latest decision and want to make clear this is strictly a music podcast. Please check it out

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

Really interesting read about DeepSeek’s strategy vs OpenAI’s. It seems like the constraints placed on China’s access to chips just forced them to be more innovative.

The dystopian films never show the part where you're just hoping the bad guy is too stupid to accomplish his goals

Man, the number of times this thing is showing me pictures of retro-themed PS5 controllers is excessive. I get it, they exist. I don't need multiple, nearly identical, pictures of a PS1 controller next to a PS5 controller
