…I’m not really arguing that this is the case but it’s just hard to explain the factional infighting and lack of competency at times.

I struggle w/understanding Dem failures. It’s hard to not adopt a pessimistic Chomsky-esque view that both parties are 2 faces of the same coin. GOP=in-your-face wrestlers. DEMS=Aikido experts just redirecting & fracturing our momentum away from meaningful change. Same end result…

This is low on the priority list of fucked up things… but I think this current era of poorly captioned videos is going to come back to bite us from a grammar / there / their / they’re perspective down the line. It’s reinforcing completely wrong words and concepts to a viewer.

The only thing that makes sense to me in Venezuela is that whatever is about happen is about oil. As long as the administration is tanking here at home their responses and actions overall are going to become more erratic and dangerous either here or abroad. Just a thought.

Probably something along these lines: “If you don’t hire me I’m telling my daddy on you…”

Beyond just the inappropriateness of this, what does this imply about our relationship with said donor at this point? Is there an expected ROI for this person? What do they want?

I have a hard time believing anyone donating that sum does so out of the goodness of their heart w/o strings attached.

This is also a GREAT argument as to why they should be taxed back to 1950s levels. The ability of the wealthy to donate should not be an easy decision to make over the objections of the people’s “purse”. If they wanna pay for the changes they can also pay the tax bill so we can change it back.

This is legit what the third verse of “Times they are a Changin” warns about. I’ll take it but they deserve to be replaced.

Kash Patel stands firmly at attention through gritted teeth as though holding in a rowdy bout of explosive diarrhea which, much like facts at the FBI, appear to frequently flow uncontrollably.

But it’s all good! Kash(me outside) Patel is there so we’re all good, right?…

Anyone else worried he just shat himself or do we all just assume that at this point?

Hands down you have the best explanations of wtf is going on legally in DC I’ve seen. A good balance between the technicalities, the human readable translation of those, and just having a fucking a heart about what’s going on. Still waiting on your companion podcast to come out w/Main Justice 😂 ❤️❤️❤️

Interesting and telling that the last line of the article implies “theater getting back to being theater” is somehow NOT political in nature.

Even the cheaply produced and poorly acted Easter Day pageants I’m sure the author is used to are political. 😂

“Trump must go” Signs taped to a light pole at the DTLA no kings protest

Incredible day for a protest here in SoCal #DTLA

It’s a stunning day in socal for sure. Hope you had some engagement out your way as well!!
Stay safe

Heya! DTLA starts in 10 minutes so headed to city hall now. (We live down the street)

Like the whole idea of them trying to argue that they should have the right to use this type of force is laughably fascistic. They are making themselves cartoon characters of evil militarized police that would be funny if press wasn’t actually at risk of being injured.

Please watch & share! @endcitizensunited.bsky.social

And please let it drag the tech broligarch down with it.

I worry that with Trump news 24/7, we're missing out on important trends, etc., that don't get enough traction in the daily news cycle. This feels like one of those stories.

…or… “The Kremlin leverages its asset Donal Trump into doing Putin’s dirty work of dismantling the country from within.”

(not actually arguing this)

My thoughts exactly. I get deploying PD would legally setup an armed standoff between IL & and the fed gov which Pritzker aims to avoid, but @ what cost? When does the level of danger to the public flip the equation and require police necessary to maintain order. I think we are very clearly there….

MacCALLUM: Margaret Thatcher said socialism is great until you run out of other people's money

MAMDANI: Well, what Andrew Cuomo said is that if you have $957m you give it to Elon Musk in tax credits

💯 racial and ethnic superiority is not something exclusive to whites or nazis.

And so clearly and repeatedly escalated by the masked ICE coward egging her on

WTF

A steal...
My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social

🚨After being tased and beaten by ICE, a man dies in a Chicago hospital. Date and location in following post. These are the horrors of 2025 and we cannot look away. 1/2

Unfortunately, in addition to appointing Weiss, Paramount/CBS acquired The Free Press for a wildly overvalued amount. So now all your CBS news is not only directed and filtered by Weiss in the role, the CBS well is also contaminated with questionably verified content from the FP.

Happy Monday! 😒

10/12/2025: The China Hack, Booms, Busts and Bubbles, The Road to Damascus

So exciting given one of the main stories in 60 minutes this evening on the next “Great Depression” around the corner.

No but you’ve piqued my interest and now I’m listening to the podcast version

💯 the entire point of the carefully chosen quote is to telegraph the fear the police say they have of a Mamdani win, with the intent that readers adopt that fear, instead of questioning the poorly founded or absurd reasoning behind it.
