Zohran Mamdani: โ€œOur Time Is Nowโ€ Last night at a campaign rally, Zohran Mamdani addressed his supporters: โ€œFor too long, we have tried not to lose. Now, it is time that we win.โ€

"In an age of darkness, New York can be the light."
This speech from Zohran Mamdani is high-octane hope.

nature NEWS 12 October 2025 Coral die-off marks Earth's first climate 'tipping point', scientists say A surge in global temperatures has caused widespread bleaching and death of warm-water corals around the world. By Jeff Tollefson

Warming waters cause corals to โ€œbleachโ€ when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors.

The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

Welpโ€”CDCโ€™s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)โ€”our health censusโ€”has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.โ€”is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, Iโ€™ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

MAGA Rage at โ€œNo Kingsโ€ Boils Overโ€”and It Quickly Backfires on Trump As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americansโ€”and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

Tweet from Pam Bondi: 

Today following outreach from 
@thejusticedept
, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target 
@ICEgov
 agents in Chicago. 

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

Itโ€™s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesnโ€™t want Congress to come back in session because they donโ€™t want the Epstein files released.

Love Field, DFW Airport won't show video blaming Democrats for government shutdown North Texas' two largest airports say the video, in which Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem says Democrats "refuse to fund the federal government," goes against their advertising policy.

Dallas Fort Worth Airport is refusing to air Kristi Noemโ€™s propaganda videoโ€”because itโ€™s illegal. All airports must follow suit and reject this misuse of public space. No platform for propaganda. No exceptions.
