The stakes of “Is this authoritarianism or not?” are high”; the stakes of “Is this Fascism™?” much lower

Mamdani winning Staten Island would be the funniest thing ever (or at least since Bloomberg made Cathie Black DOE chancellor)

Love that story! Hashtag jus ad bellum

This segment is fascinating and reflects different actors within the Trump administration pursuing different agendas in Venezuela.

Contrary to Gorka, SecState Rubio (the driving force behind the military build up in the Caribbean) very much is pursuing a regime change project in Venezuela.

This is completely unacceptable.

Yes, I know we’re long past the point of being shocked. I’m not even surprised. But for a president to give a partisan harangue to the military is still unacceptable.

It’s a small but significant victory for the broad American left that Van Jones is no longer among us being his TV sociopath self

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

I’m mean, worth trying? Certainly worked well for Blutarsky, career-wise IIRC

MAGA aims to corner its opponents into the role of the appalled schoolmaster. The role can feel a natural fit to most prog intellectuals. What new persone then are needed to break out of this role and the whole horrible drama?

Horrified to see cadets applauding this

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Ah so you pickle the habs, take them from brine then blend them with vinegar and other stuff?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT

The Husband & I got our NYC ballots in the mail and there are some hilarious party names

Eric Adams for "End Antisemitism Party/Safe & Affordable Party"
Curtis Sliwa for GOP + "Protect Animals Party"
Andrew Cuomo for "Fight and Deliver Party"
someone I've never heard of for "Quality of Life Party"

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Bizarre and narcissistic framing, but par for the NYT course on this ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

*Donald Trump says he is about to put 10 Marines in my home*

Wurman: Have you considered tort law?

My wife and I are trying to have kids. We're looking at the cost of childcare. Frankly, it's a nightmare.

Young people struggling with the financial realities of starting a family in this country deserve a voice in the Senate. I promise you, I will fight for universal childcare.

This isn’t fair to Mort Sahl.

Hell yes

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

I want to put this in my back pocket and carry it with me everywhere. What a powerful and beautiful message.

The great and the good dislike this platform because they get called out on their bullshit
