It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

One of the crazy things about the AI bubble bursting is that consumer sentiment toward AI has always leaned skeptical to outright negative but it’s an industry propped up by pure billionaire greed, sycophancy, and childish fantasy

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

This is an amazing photograph. But while it entertains and illustrates that the Portland mobilization is an invasion, not a peace force, moments later, the military force sprayed pepper spray into the ventilation holes of the frog suit. Cruelty and fascism is the point. Never forget that.

Greta Thunberg annoys the right because she's a reminder that it's possible to stay true to your moral principles even when it's inconvenient, and they fucking hate that

Conversion therapy is torture, plain and simple. It was outlawed for a reason.

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Fascism occurs twice: first as the tragedy of a Second World War started by men who fought the First and knowingly chose slaughter, then as the farce of an ignorant draft dodger trying to provoke a war against his own people.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

People in Chicago: Know your rights when faced with federal forces.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

…These people have quite actively tried to ensure that if they go down we're going with them. So I'm saying i want them stopped, but i want the equivalent of a controlled descent, the pilots and crew arrested on the scene, and a prolonged & public FAA investigation about how the fuck this happened.

Look, i know a lot of us live for the schadenfreude of the crash & burn but i don't think some of you realize just in how many ways we are all in the fucking plane. Some of the biggest buyers-into of this "AI" hype cycle have: your medical data, your identity data, control over the carceral system…

Red Hat told 404 Media it's aware of the breach. The list of clients potentially affected include the US Navy, Congress, Walmart, and several telecoms.

Any Democrat running for statewide or national office should be asked “will you commit to supporting the investigation and prosecution of ICE and members of DHS for systemic human rights abuses” and any answer other than “yes” should be instantly disqualifying

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

I'm so angry over all of this. Jewish people are being put in immense danger because the ADL couldn't stop defending a genocide and targeting critics of Israel. Their Center on Extremism resources kept so many people safe and were crucial in monitoring extremist movements in the US. It's all gone.

This was after the ADL bent over backwards to accommodate the far right and were utilized to go after colleges for spurious accusations of antisemitism over their criticisms of Israel. And now, the Jewish community is being put in immense danger because the ADL collaborated with fascists.

It's important to note that the ADL also helps coordinate the security and safety of Synagogues and Jewish community centers with federal law enforcement. Kash Patel ended that arrangement yesterday right before Yom Kippur and today there was an attack in the UK. www.axios.com/2025/10/02/k...

NEW: Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era. Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America. Today, at Law Dork:

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago. If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.

ADL *AGAIN* bends over backwards for Nazis, erasing a resource and database to appease antisemitic scum:

Cozying up to fascists never ends well. If anyone should know that, it should be the ADL.

The ADL thought it could fall in line with Musk and it would stop his attacks on them. Instead, it just made them complicit, legitimized Musk, and ultimately didn’t actually change him at all. This is how fascists work. Greenblatt tried being transactional: for fascists, it only goes one way.

I sure hope the ADL is proud that they stuck up for Elon Musk when he did a Nazi salute back in January.

Tl:dr Jimmy Fallon: i am a coward with no moral integrity

Dead End: Paranormal Park was a charming cartoon that deserved more than two seasons. If you haven't watched it, now is a very good time to check it out. (And if you have watched it, maybe do it again!)

Did you know the Trans Legal Survival Guide was updated this July? Whether you're trans or just believe that people should be free to be themselves without government interference, it's good to know what the current law is and how people can protect themselves. transequality.org/resources/tr...

This is a lie to cover up the Republican failings, but also to address the fact that the Supreme Court has already handed the keys to the kingdom to Trump by refusing to limit anything he does.

Starting a countdown clock until I start having to double and triple check every doc and spreadsheet that crosses my desk because someone let the "AI" mess it up.....

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

the Right has its tentacles in every facet of media, entertainment, technology, and social media right now and they STILL act oppressed

This is a fuchswerfer. It werfs fuchs.

Reminder that support for war crimes on TV was Hegseth's only qualification for the job; it's the only reason Trump knew he existed. Secretary of War Crimes is the job he was auditioning for during his career as a drunken talking head on Fox.

Waiting for the folks who were arguing that trans people were mentally ill after one trans person was involved in a mass shooting to follow their logic through after TWO Marine veterans went on shooting sprees today.

One fact is clear—ICE is afraid of us. ICE boarded up their buildings, put up fences, hid behind masks, forced us to move to a new location, & pepper balled peaceful protestors. They know their only hope is to divide us in culture wars. We cannot let them. www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-prote...

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Anti-ICE? Hey, you’re nice. Anti-trans? I’m throwing hands.

In just two days the Trump administration has rhetorically expanded their bogeyman term from ‘antifa’ to ‘antifa-aligned.’ They are not hiding their goal of equating protest with terrorism.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

This is one of the excellent points @tinavasquez.bsky.social makes in her @theflytrapmedia.com piece about Kristi Noem. DHS can barely buy a fucking drink at the bar. the-flytrap.ghost.io/ice-barbie-k...
