Quite a few chronically ill/disabled people are freelancers because they can't find full-time remote work. Health insurance premiums rising as work from home gets further rolled back feels extra cruel.

Agree. Mamdani is a powerful example of this. He did not make his support for Palestine central to his campaign, but his insistence on sticking to his core beliefs when asked to repudiate them, but also reassuring those who were fearful, actually helped demonstrate his sincerity and values.

For all the anger at the pitiful Democratic leadership, rank and file Democrats seem to be demonstrating that they are actually in charge of the party and will set its direction. That is a good thing. The GOP belongs to one man; the future of the Democrats is up to every Democrat.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

Trump having decadent Gatsby themed parties with showgirls while building a golden ballroom as he cuts off food aid to poor families sounds like fiction, and yet not a single word of what I just wrote is false.

He and the GOP should be hammered on it for the next 50+ years.

ICE agents hold teens at gunpoint at Dutch Bros in Hillsboro The group of teens told local police ICE stopped them twice on Oct. 3, part of a broader immigration enforcement surge across the Portland area.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

The antifa terrorist marxists are out

Of all the pieces Mike Johnson hasn't seen, the Politico Young Republican Nazis piece he will have not seen the hardest.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

Peter Thiel is the Lex Luthor of our universe.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Pretending every huge peaceful protest is worse than January 6th while also pretending January 6th never happened.

i wonder if fascism felt this stupid i the 1930s

YouTube video by Mousefiles Chicken Little

For no reason, just remembered this explicitly antifascist version of Chicken Little that Disney made in 1943. It's about the danger of following leaders who tell big lies. youtu.be/p_GaYdae4j0?...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It is super annoying to acknowledge, OK as a species we've had basically instantaneous access to all documented human knowledge for 20 years now and yet our collective decision-making sucks ass.

But faster access to wronger information at a higher cost isn't the move.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

"There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"
