I love reading, Star Trek, and politics. We have a civic duty to be involved and further the lives of others. That means voting! #TeamPete she/her

Given the DHS talk of "remigration" and private chats revealing the overtly Nazi stances of the NY Young Republicans, it would be really good for those opposed to show up October 18 then continue to collaborate in their communities, because all this will get worse and worse until we act to stop it.

The bailout of a friend of Trump’s just cost as much as the annual budget of USAID.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Note that the people who typically participate in Black blocs know this. Contrary to the impression of tons of liberals,people generally do Black blocs strategically. David Graeber discusses this quite a lot in "Direct Action An Ethnography". There is a direct line to inflatable frogs from Ya Basta!

It's actually good to point out Bari Weiss's shitty inaccuracies, her lack of any real journalistic experience or original ideas, and the fact that she's failing upward, promoted by antidemocratic oligarchs who have no interest in reporting the truth.

I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a more repellent, subservient person than Vance. He's seems not to have a self at all. There isn't a boot in America he wouldn't lick if it would bring him an additional iota of power.

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failureβ€”their refusalβ€”to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not β€œgreat” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.
