one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.

Absolute Catwoman. Che Grayson. @bengalart.bsky.social. Six issues coming in 2026.

Thunder bird⚡

Earlier this year, two Republicans were sworn in less than 24 hours after their elections. It’s been 16 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her race. Mike Johnson, swear her in.

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.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown. There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law. You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

CNN: “Republicans are strutting around — but who do Americans blame more for the shutdown? They blame Republicans.”

Behold! My Twi'lek Jedi Master and Shadow, Seela! Done my the amazing @elliezeekaye.bsky.social ! Go check out and support their work!

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

if your response to this - a basic statement of sympathy about an attack on a synagogue - is to bring up Israel, please delete your account

if you respect the law and the constitution, the trump administration has no use for you

🎯 SEN. YARBRO: “Historically bad decision by Gov. Bill Lee to voluntarily sign up for whatever in the hell this is.”

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

HARWOOD: “Each one has involved different politicians, issues, and electoral outlooks. But modern-era shutdowns stem from a common root cause: the extremism of today’s Republican Party.” zeteo.com/p/stop-the-l...

The people will boot you from your office, Mike “Moses” Johnson. May your party wander in a political desert long after.

Swear her in.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Video games releasing in October 🎮

Sure, shooters could be writing on bullets to send an explicit message. But has anyone considered they're just f**king with us?

Has fascist hyper-militarization ever sounded this cringe? Pete Hegseth plugging his book while demanding the country prepare for war they're not in is so on brand

jeffery epstein also liked his signature

Armstrong: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace are those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."

An entire generation of dumbs are getting themselves worked up into a fascist frenzy over inaccurate nostalgia videos they know are complete false and it is terrifying hot profoundly strong these feelings are for them despite being very aware it's fake and bullshit.

Trump Audibly Counting Non-White Generals

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

“The oath says enemies foreign and domestic… well, we also have domestic.” Trump tells the generals he plans to use the military against Americans

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

reminder that one of the first things Hegseth did was end DOD recognition of Black History Month.

reminder that this directive functionally massively discriminates against Black men and should be understood as part of an ongoing campaign to resegregate the military www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Secretary of Bravado Pete Hegseth brought the generals before him to fat shame them (and brag that he can do push-ups)

Oh EA's gunna go BANKRUPT bankrupt. Like...fast.

RFK Jr. Promotes Natural Immunity With Invitation To Touch His Festering Sore

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”
