Make fun of the fascists. Show them you're not scared of their bully-boy tactics.

This storm trooper thug should be prosecuted and imprisoned for pointing his automatic weapon at a civilian for the offense of taking a picture. That would happen in a normal law-abiding country. We need to get back to the rule of law.

🚨🚨🚨 Portland Police Officer demonstrates law enforcement with ICE. This is how ICE must be treated. Driving through a crowd of people is NOT okay. Posted within the last 24 hours; occurred within the last 72 hours.

Hunter Biden Pursued a Deal to Sell Land Around the U.S. Embassy in Romania

Joe Biden's family - his brother, son - shamelessly cashed in on his name. The Trump sons and son-in-law are cashing in left and right. The crucial difference is that President Joe Biden was not corrupt, while Donald Trump is up to his neck in the corruption. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

YouTube video by Associated Press Trump on if he'd consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: 'I'll take a look at it'

Why on earth would Trump not immediately bat down the notion of pardoning convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell?
Only one reason I can think of: she has something on him.
And we all know what it is.

Opinion | How to Save the American Experiment

Gifting this one: interesting, important read on how the USA shook off authoritarianism of 1920s. Yes cataclysm is part of it.
But bolstering the WEB Duboises & Sidney Hillmans of today?
Pushing Grand Experiments for democracy?
BRING IT ON.

Two smiling, bearded men side by side, with ones arm over the others shoulder.

Two years since my friend @maozinon.bsky.social lost his parents when Hamas attacked Oct 7.
Maoz, a Jewish Israeli, had moral clarity: He didn't want a single Palestinian civilian to die in his parents' name.
Now he fights for peace & justice alongside Palestinian @azizabusarah.bsky.social.

Live Updates: National Guard Troops Assemble in Chicago Area as Trump Officials Make Visits

The Bozo Fascist is putting pieces in place for violent conflict. Do not go for the bait, Chicago. Massive peaceful protest - that is the way to force the fascists to back down. We may have to make sacrifices, take casualties. But we must resist w/ non-violent power. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Trump Administration Live Updates: Defiant Bondi Stonewalls Democrats on Epstein and Homan Investigations

The Attorney General of the United States is a shameless, absurd fascist tool beholden to the burn-it-down agenda of her Bozo Fascist leader. In other words, she's right at home in the Trump Administration. Resist this lawless regime with massive peaceful protest. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

OpenAI’s platform play Facebook's social graph went down in the flames of Cambridge Analytica. Will the AI graph fare any better? PLUS: Our new approach to links

Heads up, world: ChatGPT wants to become the new Facebook. Except it will be much, much more intrusive and socially corrosive. Insiders warned us about Zuckerberg; we didn't listen. Altman is 1,000 times worse. Anyone paying attention? www.platformer.news/openai-dev-d...

Ezra Klein Argues for Big-Tent Politics The writer and podcast host on the Charlie Kirk discourse, Barack Obama’s distance from politics, Bari Weiss’s Gaza coverage, and the Democratic Party’s future.

Ezra Klein admires Bari Weiss. SO counterintuitive: "I think Bari... is an insane talent spotter. If you look at what she’s built at The Free Press, she’s very, very good at finding people, at pulling them in, at networking with them. She’s sort of an impresario." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

Yes -- very good. Really funny.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

“.. Lower population growth as the president presses ahead with mass deportations will knock between 0.5 and one percentage points off America’s GDP growth between mid-2025 and mid-2026, according to S&P Global Ratings.”

The manosphere influencers have a chance to man up and admit that they helped create a monster. If they own it and steer their fans back toward reality, they can help begin to repair the damage. We're going to need EVERYONE to turn back the Bozo Fascist, Little Goebbels Miller & the rest of MAGA.

Do NOT trust Altman. He is Zuckerberg on steroids.

Ed has this exactly right. Watch this space. More mayhem coming.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Kinda obvious, not exactly courageous...but hey, League of Women Voters, glad to have you on board! LFG, everyone! Peaceful, massive protest! Stop the fascists!

I'd rather not share a FB link, but this is important.

I was editor of a weekly newspaper. This writer simply reported the facts. I'd've published his column in a heartbeat.

The devolution of CBS News A network once revered for fact-based reporting is embracing right-wing pseudo-journalism

New CBS News chief Bari Weiss is a MAGA propagandist. In her view, the “political left… makes war on our common history, our common identity as Americans, and fundamentally, on the goodness of the American project.” Dressed up Trump rhetoric, i.e. lies. popular.info/p/the-devolu...
