Religious freedom to be shoved face forward into pavement.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

This is a scorching article on the absolute state of The New York Times, and much of the rest of the media.
Not just the billionaire media, note, but also the billionaire-*compliant* media, which both-sides every issue with purchased junktank talking points.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Tunisia boat accident leaves 40 migrants dead, officials say All the victims and those rescued were from sub-Saharan African countries, an official says.

Forty *people*, including infants, die as boat sinks off Tunisia

…

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

What I learnt from Irish folk singing sessions Fame means nothing; sing for the room you’re in; slow down and listen. Patrick Freyne’s lyrical lessons for life

I’ve a piece in the Financial Times magazine about the stuff I’ve learned from singing sessions www.ft.com/content/3954...

U.S. Military Kills Another 6 People in 5th Caribbean Strike, Trump Says In a social media post, the president said the people aboard a boat were suspected of smuggling drugs for an unspecified group his team had labeled terrorists.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Please do not let it be true that D’Angelo has died. That cannot be possible.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

Kamala Harris: "I think he has a vengeance campaign, which is really exposing the petty nature of who he is and his deep level of insecurity."

1) I once again take this opportunity to remind you: to keep its basic functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

2) is...is it happening?

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th”

The great thing about being a Trumpist is that Speaker Johnson can make the most absurd, evidence-free, ideologically-extreme claims imaginable about the democratic opposition, and media outlets will note the aggressive nature of his claims ("slams") and amplify his lies in the headline.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Editorial: We need our leaders to stay cool as ICE-related chaos gets hot Provocateurs on the right and left were the story of a chaotic weekend in Chicago. Our political leaders need to reclaim the narrative and cool things down.

A fascist dictator is ordering armed troops from another state to invade the city of Chicago, and the Chicago Tribune editorial board reacts by warning Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson to avoid injudicious language. Really.

Abolish ICE.

Pass it on.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

One of the most effective things you can do to damage Christianity is to stand before the world, with a crucifix around your neck, and lie.

New York Times: "Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference." The White House asked nine top universities to pledge support for President Trump’s agenda to help ensure access to research funding.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY.

CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
