What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

The Democrats need to be anti-billionaire if they want to win elections.

YouTube video by Pod Save America Heather Cox Richardson on Why She's Still Hopeful Under MAGA and Donald Trump

Great interview with @hcrichardson.bsky.social & @danpfeiffer.bsky.social.

Dives into US history to find parallels with the MAGA movement - and optimism that we will survive this.

One thing to consider - who is our next Lincoln to rise up and lead us out of this?

You mean after seeing all the pictures of Trump with Epstein

And the incriminating statements about Trump from the victims

Followed by his refusal to release the files

And repeatedly calling the crimes a Democrat hoax

Mike Johnson has finally deducted that Trump WASN’T an FBI informant after all

What's next? From today: "Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

Trump needs the help of Senate Democrats to continue to fund the government should Congress fail to pass appropriation bills by Oct 1. They shouldn’t play along, not so long as there are troops on our streets and illegal impoundments of funds.

We're not just resisting, we're rising! Locate a #NoKings event on Oct 18 and join the fight for our rights, our communities, and our future! social.demcast.com/s/5pHCAb15

October 18 we have a simple message:

No thrones.

No crowns.

It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door. But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown. So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy. Rob Wilkins Wiltshire, August 2025

On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published.

To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:

Join our call to to tell Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, to kill this feature NOW!

Last week, Meta announced a new map feature which the company says is a "fun" and "lightweight" way to keep up with friends. But nothing about this feature seems fun. In fact, it's terrifying, especially for survivors, abortion-seekers, and children. app.sosha.ai/s/lw1yF2HX

Picture of the 🍊💩 looking through barbed wire (presumably at an internment camp). Text below reads: The Republicans are being referred to as the American Fascist Party by the media abroad and I'll be calling them this as well.

No more “GOP”; it’s the American Fascist Party or AFP.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
