Hakeem out there praising Eric Adams, a corrupt and incompetent mayor. Not a serious person. Needs to be primaried asap.

Oregon sues to block Trump from deploying state’s National Guard in Portland ”Local law enforcement has this under control,” the governor said.

NEW: State of Oregon & Portland sue to block Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to protect an ICE facility in that city. Governor says Trump may've acted on old videos from 2020 clashes at fed courthouse. w/@kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Me neither. Radical right wingers have moved the playing field. Why is affordable city living considered an extreme leftist position? Republicans and billionaires control the narrative.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES

DAY 28 SEPTEMBER 2025

THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES

TODAY
Another mass shooting
Our hearts break

Yet Trump sends troops to the beautiful city of Portland
He does nothing about gun violence
Clip from @elevenfilms.com and @nickknudsenus.bsky.social is the best of Portland

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.

This is not making anybody safer β€” it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday announced he will halt his re-election campaign, consolidating the field to a three-person race between Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa and front-runner Zohran Mamdani in a race that has attracted national attention: bit.ly/3INGy97

Ezra Klein is making money from telling comforting lies to right wingers and he should be shunned and ignored.

Clinton: Many of the people considering voting for Trump are decent people hoping for their lives to get better, and we should try to persuade them
Pundits: Hillary Clinton lost because she said that literally no potential Trump voters were persuadable and so she insulted all of them instead

Totally. I was thinking of it from a cyclist and pedestrian perspective. This isn’t enough to stop cars from going over it. Cops will not enforce so we need DoT to build more robust infrastructure.

Can We Actually Save America?

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.

Actually heard these two arguments from cranky speakers at a Community Board meeting back-to-back.

How is it that they are useless and empty but the next person says they are so crowded it is dangerous to cross the street?

Hmmm...

The open corruption of the Department of Justice into a tool of dishonest oppression against people who have crossed Trump isn't just on Trump or his minions. It's on every Republican in the Senate, in the House, and on the Supreme Court.

As someone who spent four weeks on a grand jury this summer, I find this pretty surprising.

Again I’m struck by how ridiculous it is that elections in this country always happen on … a Tuesday.

She's the real deal. Look out for Rossana statewide and probably nationally in the future.

He is holding wildly popular rallies and town halls all over the country. You don’t have to be in office to do that.

Hmmm okay but I meant his town hall tour of the U.S. you don’t have to be a sitting senator to do that. Trump kept holding rallies the whole time he was out of office.
