The image is a humorous meme titled "Every Graph About the US." It depicts a simplistic graph with two intersecting lines. - The horizontal axis is labeled "Some" on the left and "metric" on the right. - The vertical dotted line in the middle is labeled "Ronald Reagan." - The green line, labeled "Good thing," starts high on the left and trends downward as it moves right. - The red line, labeled "Bad thing," starts low on the left and trends upward as it moves right. - The lines intersect at the "Ronald Reagan" point

There is no single way to resist; only the courage to invent one. 👍

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

About 35 years late for knowing that Johnny Cash was cool as all get out

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

The Convicted FElon has finally united the people on one thing.

if this is what is going to pass for "news" why not just put up a screengrab of Sal's Pizzeria burning

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

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

They just want to kill Americans.

so is this the fight against "left-wing terrorism"?

ICE just gassed a group a civilians near the Rico Fresh supermarket intersection on Armitage in Chicago - bystanders say this was in response for being heckled from the street.

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism: 1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror 2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war 3). The single best way you can resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you constantly. Protect your mental health to ensure you are not constantly in a terrorized state 4). Keep connecting to who you are at your core. Your values, preferences, ethics, and beliefs. Build up capacity to resist 5). Remember they are like abusive parents: they only see us extensions of them. They have no clue how powerful joy and community and self-expression can be. We can use this to our advantage — we can be the strong-willed child they never saw coming. Spending time connecting to your true self is not selfish in these times — it’s intricately connected to a resistance movement that is tied to honoring our bodies, our communities, and to the land. We have to build capacity to resist by being exactly who we are!

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Europe 'no longer at peace' with Russia, Germany's Merz says "Let me put it in a sentence that may be a little shocking at first glance ... we are not at war, but we are no longer at peace either," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Sept. 29.

The trend I have noticed, particularly emblematic in Klein’s recent output, is that it’s never a “what” that people are willing to sacrifice in order to win hypothetical elections, it’s always a “who,” and it’s never themselves.

“Can the president tell what is real and what is not real” is a pretty simple and important question and I think the answer seems pretty clear

the amount of raw, unadulterated fear that many Americans have of even small cities is never going to stop being darkly hilarious to me

Unsurprising

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

Imagine it's 2002 and you're sitting around watching the Man Show and a time traveler appears in the room and tells you about the past 48 hours

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

About presidents and late night comedians: do you know what Gerald Ford did when Chevy Chase portrayed him as a klutz on SNL? Let his press secretary serve as guest host and recorded clip that appeared on the show.

they do a reverse Voight-Kampff test on potential ICE agents, asking questions like "you see a turtle on its back, what do you do?" and the correct answer is "step on it"

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
