The forecast for the powerful and deadly storm that battered small communities in western Alaska over the weekend was likely made worse by a lack of weather data triggered by the Trump administration’s cuts.

Heavens, those messages. I knew a decent number of College Republicans (which, I guess is a different org but I'd assume lots of overlap) back in my undergrad and they weren't perfect, but they weren't Like This.

It will be a long time to get this poison out of the right. A very long time.

O'Hare and Midway airports won't show Kristi Noem video criticizing Democrats for government shutdown O'Hare and Midway airports in Chicago have decided not to show travelers a video of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticizing Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown.

Seeing multiple news orgs join together to reject the Pentagon's gag rules and now multiple airports refuse to air partisan govt propaganda.

There've been weeks when the wind is at authoritarians' backs. Let's hope these suggest a different wind direction this week. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Trump Administration Strikes Another Boat It Says Was Trafficking Drugs The president said that six were killed in the latest military action off the coast of Venezuela.

Who were the 6 people the Administration just killed without due process?

Were they children?

Were they victims of human trafficking?

WE DON’T KNOW—they refuse to show proof.

No one made Trump judge, jury & executioner. This is a gross violation of international human rights.

Full endorse. Also: The evidence is that it *does* matter. Trump is unpopular! Which is part of why he loses so often!

Most people don't like bigots and Nazi-lovers, but they also don't pay much attention to politics and are not inclined to believe stuff like this. So seeing hard evidence matters.

Better Schumer: We know these views are common among many young people in the GOP and that many of young activists have gone on to work in Congress, the White House and federal agencies.

I'm launching an investigation to root out Nazis from our government and I hope my GOP colleagues join me.

The pivot from “I’m building god” to “I’m building a jerkoff tool” is pretty funny

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

Federal Court Deals Major Blow to Indiana GOP’s Student ID Ban Read more here.

NEW: A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Indiana’s student ID voting ban — a major procedural win for young voters and pro-voting advocates who say the GOP-backed law was designed to suppress student voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The remedy is impeachment and removal and any member of Congress who does not agree is in violation of their oath of office and in any sane world ought to be ineligible to continue in office per 14AS3.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat.

Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

Showing up to No Kings with a sign reading “monarchy is an affront to human dignity but, when incorporated into a liberal democratic system, may nevertheless be a useful safety valve for nationalist and/or authoritarian impulses” and then getting clobbered by a Buttigieg-supporting grandmother

I really wish the FCC and FBI actually did something about phone spammers. I’m sick of encountering a pig-butchering scam nearly every day.

Hamas agreed to this same deal by Dec 2024. But “Baskin would soon learn that the Israelis had no intention of striking any agreement before a change of administration in Washington…”
Reminiscent of Reagan/Carter and a different hostage release…

Parking Signs If you want to print out a poster for October 18th, here are two; fully-guaranteed countrywide but maybe especially suitable for in and around New York. No King Anytime sign ...

A couple of parking signs for anyone who wants to print them out for this coming Saturday.

"Residents in Chicago and Portland are living in a police state where masked armed forces kidnap who they want to kidnap, where they have to listen to public officials routinely lie about what is happening in their neighborhoods." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Amid all the plaudits of Trump for getting this deal done, I've yet to see mention of the fact that Netanyahu has turned the Israeli govt into an arm of the Republican Party and manages relations with the US administration in power at any given time accordingly.

Top Stories All State Trending Top Stories Palestinian prisoners freed after Israeli hostages released from Gaza

Is there an explanation for why Palestinians are "prisoners" and Israelis are "hostages"?

Is the implication meant to be that the Palestinians were 'criminals' being punished through imprisonment?

No matter how thoroughly the legacy media debase themselves to please Trump, he will always be ungrateful, and he will always demand that they bow and scrape even more

In the last 70 years, federal jobs fell from 4.5% of all employment to below 2%.

Civil servants aren't what's driving government debt, and firing them won't address it.

And yet the entire Supreme Court emergency motions practice that's evolved in the last like, five, six years is itself bizarre beyond comprehension, and involves doing systematic violence to the concept of "irreparable harm." All of which leads inexorably to the conclusion that it's pure hackery

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The middle-aged white guy standing up in a crowd from Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting.

It's actually good to point out Bari Weiss's shitty inaccuracies, her lack of any real journalistic experience or original ideas, and the fact that she's failing upward, promoted by antidemocratic oligarchs who have no interest in reporting the truth.

Enrico Fermi. No one else even close. An actual Italian-American, unlike Columbus. Like Einstein, Fermi was one of the greatest theoretical physicists of all time. Unlike Einstein, he was also one of the greatest hands-on experimentalists of all time. Total badass. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_...
