Next Nobel Awards season gonna be lit! Trump's Peace Prize pretty much already in hand. Physics? Read this word salad and tell me it isn't his too. Fucking magnets! Literature? Re-read that paragraph! Move over Ernest Hemingway, Toni Morrison, and Mario Vargas Llosa! Dude probably runs the table!

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?

gotta say i was expecting a bit more from the mamdani administration by now

My book The Great Work comes out today! Still can't quite believe this is a thing that is happening. Special thanks to my extremely talented editor @jesszimmerman.com and my wonderful agent @carolineeisenmann.bsky.social, both of whom were steadfast champions for this very weird novel.

This Day in Labor History: November 4, 1942. Copper miners in Butte, Montana went on strike to protest the use of Black miners on the job. Worse, these were members of the leftist Mine, Mill. Let's talk about hate strikes and white workers again choosing their racial identity over class identity!

This Day in Labor History: October 30, 1837. Nicholas Farwell, a train engineer toiling for the Boston and Worcester Rail Road Corporation fell off a train while at work and had his hand crushed by the train. Farwell sued the company for damages. Judge said, nope! Nothing for the injured workers!

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

This Day in Labor History: October 29, 1962. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference announced Operation Breadbasket, a boycott campaign against companies that refused to hire African-Americans. Let's talk about this core part of civil rights worker activism and the rise of Jesse Jackson!

Lots of you have been asking for the syllabus for the lecture course -- "America at 250" -- that I'm teaching with David Blight and Beverly Gage. Here you go: president.yale.edu/sites/defaul...

This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948. An air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel-owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Smog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. Let's talk about this horrible moment and how it spurred pollution controls!

Updated architect's rendering of interior of Trump's ballroom.

Welcome to the East Wing. Coffee?

FIGHT THE REPUBLIKAN DICTATORSHIP!🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

GOP Senators bring shopping bags full of cash on pilgrimage to White House, leave with same bags now holding only branded ashtrays and cocktail napkins from a bankrupt Trump casino.

My guess is Platner is a dude who's been marinating too long in military history without ever pondering the whole fucking WHY of any of it. Especially the Nazis. Just knows they were badass, outlaw, & shit. Kinda dude who'll talk your ear off about Rommel, tanks, and pincer movements

A US football field is 57,600 sqft. At 90,000 sqft the Washington Commanders could play home games at Trump's White House Stadium. Sure, seating for fans would be limited, but there is only ONE person the Commander-in-Chief is interested in pleasing.

!!!

live your life so millions of people are not inspired to march in the streets to express their disgust with you.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

No Kings march in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Good crowd, good people. Not a terrorist in sight. Just a large gathering of fellow Americans demanding their country embrace its core values and knock this shit off.

Trivia question: Who gave Trump the idea of building a massive triumphal arch in DC? Hint: This person has a lot of big fans in the Young Republicans chat.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Albuquerque, NM” join me! Sign up if you like or just show up! For more info & links: #aftvotes www.mobilize.us/aft/event/84...

Help me share to 100 (big number!) You know you want to 😀 #RecipesfromtheAmericanSouth youtu.be/G71MZynajjQ?...

So great!

This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1937. The Buchanan Dam, which dammed the Colorado River of Texas, west of the town of Burnet, was dedicated. Let's talk about how dams and electricity transformed the work lives of rural women!

Yes, Jasmine Crockett has started An Investigation into Chump's Failing Health.......

Oh gosh! It was just one of the kids, a young staffer. Shouldn't he just be reprimanded by one of the leaders of his local Hitlerjugend? www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Since the No Kings Oct 18 protest is on a Saturday, does that mean George Soros is paying weekend wages? Or regular scale? Been trying my ANTIFA union rep but no answer. Also, my check is late and the weed store is having a sale today. Thank you for your attention!

RFKjr (probably): Now if all of the men at this table would stand up, drop their trousers, and "release the dragon," I'll show you a thing of two someone else showed me in a video they saw online.

It seems to me that after a decades of convincing their base that government cannot help you without hurting someone else, the governing philosophy inevitably becomes “government will help you by hurting someone else.”

This pretty accurately describes an awful lot of Poli Sci analysis right now. It’s not OK, and it’s not going to be OK. It’s just a matter of how not OK it will be - that, we can still affect.

This is awesome.

What's gonna trigger this thing? Results from MLB playoffs, NFL showdowns, NBA games, betting app results, Trump's latest evil, or discussions of the appropriateness of candy corn as a Halloween treat? Thing's gonna light up like Stephen Miller's face watching a migrant family beaten and caged.

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

Trump (maybe): I am a very aesthetic person! Therefore, I want every captain on every ship to start gluing this gold bling shit to the sides of every US Navy vessel!

Finally got around to canceling my Disney+. Not really a "To the barricades!" act, but I did feel of moment of glee hitting that submit button.

Tom "FittyK" Homan is his rap name. Yo, wassup, FittyK?
