Yes, the president posted this.

A handy way to remember your rights when you're out and about in America today, and pretty much every day!

Stay safe, know your rights!

You don’t stage an intervention for someone you “hate” — quite the opposite. You do it for someone you love and want to see do better. 🇺🇸 #NoKingsDay

It's a good time to lean into using Wikipedia as your first point of call for researching stuff. It certainly shouldn't be your last, but it's always a great jumping-off point, with links aplenty.

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

Mark my words.

Side by pictures of George Santos, first in drag and then in a normal suit.

Well in the least surprising news of the day, apparently Trump has pardoned disgraced, mendacious fraudster, sex-pest, dog killer, and Only Fans star George Anthony Kitara Ravache Devolder Santos, who will be released from prison today.

A group of Herons is called;
A Siege
A group of Hawks is called;
A Cast
A group of Magpies is called;
A Parliament
A group of Ravens is called;

A group of Crows is called;

A group of Republicans is called;

Or brown.

This is level the Repugnant Party has fallen to. I think they will go even lower.

Pay attention!

Finally, a MAGA Republican is telling the truth regarding what they think and what their policies are. Nothing new, discrimination against everyone who is not an Anglo.

When you finally run out of fucks to give.

Republican lawmakers are moving to rewrite America’s landmark 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act — a shift that could loosen safeguards for whales, seals, and dolphins and ignite a fierce battle over the future of ocean life.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Words to live by…

The new Supreme Court term begins and one of the rulings they're going to be deciding is the legality of Trump's tariffs, which are the largest tax increase on working class Americans in decades. 😳👇

What’s Up With Peter Thiel’s Obsession With the Antichrist? The tech mogul is amping up his apocalyptic rhetoric—and adding a dangerous dose of extremism into the already-fraught culture war.

Okay, #PeterThiel, tech mogul, capitalist overlord, & now- wait for it... self-appointed Antichrist scholar? WTAF is this? 🤯Claiming you’re deep into “political theology” while funding Palantir surveillance is like hiring Hannibal Lecter to cater a vegan brunch. #AntichristWatch #ThielMadness

Democrats are just better people than Republicans.

Please, please…

This is the reason why Rs are acting with such impunity.

His parents must be very proud of what they have fostered and nurtured this boy to become. What great parents could achieve if they just tried a little harder, you too can create a real life evil douchebag.

How’s it going, Bluesky?

Jane Goodall, Eminent Primatologist Who Chronicled the Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91

My heart is filled with bittersweet sadness and admiration for the end of a life truly well-lived.

Rest in Power, Jane Goodall.

Thank you for embodying the best of humanity. Your imprint on the planet and its creatures is indelible.

'Sad But True' I firmly believe firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell will be the last stop on the autocratic autobahn we’ve all been barreling down these last nine months, with a drug-addled madman behind the wheel.

“The U.S.A. will soon be viewed by much of the world as not only an anti-democratic aggressor but as the largest purveyor of the myopic, misinformed views and intellectual laziness that is killing our planet. We live in an age of absolute unaccountability when it comes to the Trump administration.”
