Patti Smith 🥰

OMG RIGHT?

Sigh.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Supreme Court Live Updates: Justices Seem Set to Rule Against Colorado’s Ban on Conversion Therapy

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Rome calls on US to reconsider extra tariff on pasta imports With almost $800 million in exports, the U.S. is one of Italy's top three export markets for pasta, a staple of the country's culinary heritage and a substantial export commodity.

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

They just want to kill Americans.

The Conservative Men Who Are Scared of Cities have escalated to gassing civilians for being rude to them.

Now is the time to watch @eddiemuller.bsky.social on TCM. Noir is an enjoyable education on HUAC and the repercussions in American art and culture.

It's amazing how all these guys look so much older than they are but act so much younger than they are.

Face of a weathered geriatric, mind of a dim child.

Again, this is what the SCOTUS has sanctioned. On Sept. 10th @chrislhayes.bsky.social and I talked about Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion white-washing ICE raids in Noem v. Vazquez Perdomo. His fact-free opinion was either naive, lazy, or sinister. The Trump Admin read it as a green light.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

The feds are rioting violently in major cities

These people are sick in the head. Christianity is a disease.

"Young children we ought to have more control over" brought to you by the Grand Old Pedocons.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

JD Vance’s post is grade A misogynoir

He’s functionally saying she’s an ungrateful, uppity N word

We're witnessing a cornered rat, realizing he's weak and losing support, willing to chew through anything and anyone to keep himself in power.

In this case, it's the U.S. Constitution and the American people, and Trump is the rat.

No disrespect to rats.

‘Can I just be a kid?’ Students shaken by immigration raids seek help from school counselors Kindergartners repeat worries heard at home. Older kids text to check on parents during class. Therapists say mental health is at risk now and in the long term.

A whole generation of kids will be shaped by this experience of authorities harassing children and their parents at school and at home

That will be school for them

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

If you said this exact combination of words to a cop at a traffic stop, they wouldn't even waste time with the breathalyzer.

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

This hits all of my favorite topics, omg.

The top one per cent are the #parasiteclass

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”
