It’s almost as if fat-cat senators sold out the American people because they were bought off!

Gatsby-esque

November 9, 2025

Anti-ICE protesters held an 80’s-themed yoga class outside the Portland ICE facility.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Tonight was a very bad night.

Since it’s @scaramucci.bsky.social talking about how Tim Mellon is the “Epstein connection you don’t know about,” I kinda wish I’d made the connection 11 days ago. But alas, it was two weeks ago.

Our review of 700+ videos of the Portland protests shows a wide gap between the reality on the ground and the characterizations by Trump, Fox News and DHS, which said its office in the city was under “coordinated assault by violent groups.” By @robwdavis.bsky.social and Steve Suo

“Heather Cox Richardson Tells It Like It Is” is a sharp, witty hip-hop track celebrating historian Heather Cox Richardson as the voice of calm reason in a storm of political chaos. With humor and bite, the song calls out Trump’s bluster and ego while showing how Heather’s clear-eyed historical....

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Guess who the aggressors are in Portland? The frog says #Resist #Fascism. www.propublica.org/article/port...

Lots of hopeful news for #democracy (and bad news for #Fascists) in yesterday's elections. Look at what's happening in the deep South! www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

The erosion of journalism is so sad.

Adapted from a novella by Denis Johnson, Train Dreams is very plainly one of the most beautiful films of 2025. You've got two weeks to see it in a theater, preferably in the Pacific Northwest, before it ends up on Netflix.

The woman in this video had just had kidney surgery.

Remember when 60 minutes had journalists, and integrity?

New Radicals release “You Get What You Give” 27 years ago today — an “exuberant anthem about commodification, urging that kids who have ‘the dreamers’ disease’ have the power to change things,” The Guardian wrote. Said Gregg Alexander: “It was everything I’d always wanted to say inside five mins.”

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj

But they’re above the law…

saw two young foxes playing my backyard this morning! was able to get a good shot of this guy.

What do you mean, hypocrisy?

Great idea!

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

I’m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration. But if things keep going the way they are, I won’t be the last. That’s why I need to fight these charges with everything we’ve got. Help us do that here: katforillinois.com/legal

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Awesome response to a reporter’s nonsense over SNAP and the shutdown.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I’m going to win, in the courtroom and on Election Day. But I need your help to do it: katforillinois.com/legal

California, we have the power to stop election rigging, right now! Did you get your ballot in? I did and so did my entire family. Remind everyone you know. 👊🏽 #Prop50VoteYes

I hate to worry you, but... Do you have a plan to #Resist? Don't the violent sweeps by #SecretPolice frighten you? We have safety in numbers, though! www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

One of many reasons to #CancelSpotify! Tidal pays artists far better, yet still has Taylor Swift, all the Replacements’ live stuff, and every one of the Dead’s Dick’s Picks.

Here's my full interview with Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com.

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

MeidasTouch ad censored by Fox News! #cdnpoli It would be a shame if people kept reposting it over and over.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism @jama.com @ki.se jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls
