I’ll be discussing and signing my new book at the Kentucky Book Festival on Saturday, 11/1/25, at Joseph Beth Bookstore in Lexington, KY. Panel on Appalachia starts at 10 am. Hope to see you there!

So this is where Trump got his idea for the AI video where he dumps shit on protesters.

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care.

He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans.

Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry.

But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks.

Oligarchy in action.

Donald Trump’s father destroyed Steeplechase Park, the iconic amusement palace of Coney Island. Before demolition, he hosted a party for his rich fuck friends where bikini clad waitresses gave them bricks to throw through Steeplechase’s famous stained glass windows

I hate this timeline.

I know. I laughed so hard.

That’s what I thought of.

tech lords like Altman pretty clearly don’t think most other people really “exist” in any meaningful way - certainly not in any way that requires them to consider anyone else’s subjective experience. They see most humans as a bunch of NPCs in a video game where the currency is money and attention

As @joshkovensky.bsky.social has reported, CBP commander Greg Bovino is leading the Trump admin's campaign to escalate tensions in blue cities

This week, he was accused of violating a court order for launching a gas canister at a crowd of Chicago protesters

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump's DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents' anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.

“ICE, their secret police, is their tool,” said Michelle Brané, a human rights attorney who directed DHS’ ombudsman office under Biden. “Once they have that power, which they have now, there’s nothing stopping them from using it against citizens.”

Home Depot supports Trump. So, I’m not surprised.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

This is just straight-up treason by rubio, he's wrecking our ability to fight organized crime in order to help bukele cover up his apparently cozy relationship with MS-13 leadership and possible theft of us foreign aid, all so trump et al can get photos of us sending hairdressers to torture prison

No Kings Rally, Bloomington, IN. 10/18/25.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The truth hurts.

More corruption from the US fascist state.

Trump Is Accusing Foes With Multiple Mortgages of Fraud. Records Show 3 of His Cabinet Members Have Them.

This is investigative journalism—something Vance wouldn’t recognize if it bit him on the nose and caused tears to smear his eyeliner.

This is just so very, very illegal. And Republicans in Congress aren’t the least bit interested in controlling the purse. They’re just employees of trump org at taxpayer expense. This is a dictatorship.

I have been reading banned books this week. This weekend is Walk Among Tombstones.

This is so true.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

I got my notice that my Medicare Prescription Plan won’t be offered next year. I bet there are millions of us getting our health care screwed one way or another by the big, bad bill. Senior citizens, low income families, unemployed folks, everyday Americans getting hurt to benefit billionaires.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

SAFETY ALERT: S.C. confirms full-blown outbreak of measles South Carolina officially has a measles outbreak, even while Georgia deals with a cluster of cases as low vaccination rates in the region raise concerns.

Darwinism working as intended.
