This looks peaceful to me...

The douchey face of utter incompetence.

Hell hole

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

Nice recap

Congrats to everyone who wanted Dantonio’s head on a platter. Clearly he, a proven winner, was not the problem.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

MIT refuses to accept White House terms for funding, other schools still mulling — Reuters Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth on Friday said she

Thank you, @mit.edu, for taking the lead.

"It's interesting that if you say the Constitution creates a separation of powers systems in which there are no kings, they think you hate America.” (David Noll)

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Could you not with the “well aCkShUaLlY, we host other countries at U.S. bases”? There’s a reason people are angry.

Other nations don’t bankroll or shelter groups trying to kill Americans while posing as mediators.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.

Doh!

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Diane Keaton, 1946–2025 The leading lady of the 1970s.

Diane Keaton made The Godfather, one of the greatest films ever made, work. And she did so much more over more than five decades. @sonnybunch.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/diane-keat...

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

And people tell me the libs have no knack for messaging.

American Gulag The brutal rollout of Trump's police state.

When it comes to Trump’s immigration policy, cruelty has always been the point, but anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

The first term we were a world laughingstock. This time, most of the world is pissed. First because we were stupid enough to let it happen again, and because this time his incompetence is harming the entire planet. We are running out of time to win our former allies back.
