I like finding ways to blame McKinsey, private equity and/or Robert Moses for most things. Black American woman living in the EU, mom of a Long Covid kid, AuDHD, social worker, teacher. I want love, peace, leisure and rest for all. Young hearts, run free❤️

The executive branch calling the enforcement of the law by judges "insurrection" is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

The AI Money Vortex OpenAI is worth $500 billion now. What are its investors getting back?

The AI doomsayers are warning of a bubble, but—at least for now—that doesn't seem to matter to AI’s biggest investors, Will Gottsegen writes in The Atlantic Daily.

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America.

They just want to kill Americans.

This is what I'm saying the U.S. needs but ppl say they can't. Of course not everyone can afford to miss work but a lot of people can and owe it to those who can't.

It's no longer education if it comes from MAGA. Leave that money right there on the table and teach these kids like you know you need to. The longer you lick his boots, the longer you will be out here licking his boots. Tell that man to take his doubloons and kick rocks.

Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide).
This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

1/ Judge Immergut just granted a restraining order that prevents Trump's mobilization of the Oregon National Guard in Portland.
IMMERGUT, District Judge.
This case involves the intersection of three of the most fundamental principles in our
constitutional democracy. The first concerns the relationship between the federal government
and the states. The second concerns the relationship between the United States armed forces and
domestic law enforcement. The third concerns the proper role of the judicial branch in ensuring
that the executive branch complies with the laws and limitations imposed by the legislative
branch. Whether we choose to follow what the Constitution mandates with respect to these three
relationships goes to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.

Stephen miller is actively calling for a civil war right now on Twitter.

I really do not think Americans are taking in the reality that the federal government is openly admitting to waging war against democratically held cities and states and what comes now that this is being openly said.

One of the stories that resonated - "I was able to venture out for an ice cream cone with a friend this day. I don't feel comfortable eating in restaurants or going to bars like most people my age. Spring and summer are nice beaches they give me more options to spend time outdoors with fewer people around - which means I get to see the people I love more often. Even short moments like this help me feel a little more like a "normal" 24 year old again

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

But so far the majority IS accepting it. They see it on their screens same as us. And for all the people duking it out with ICE in Chicago, there are droves of people downtown, shaking their heads like, "damn, that's messed up," as they get a coffee and go to pickleball. They don't know what to do

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“Is Bari Weiss considered objective or a journalist? Cronkite and Murrow would absolutely not think she is and would have tossed her out of the newsroom inside an hour.”

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.
