October 31st/November 1st

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

But you will in two weeks.

I'm being entirely serious when I say that this is one of the core commitments of reactionary politics: demand all the privileges, refuse any of the responsibility.

Simon Harris must be the only person on earth observing Keith Starmer’s leadership, saying, ‘yeah that’s a guy who knows how to handle the hard right.’

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

Christians are some of the most unchristian people you will ever meet.

Feels like they are preparing for something, like moving to high ground before the flood.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

Both the democrats and republicans are for a two state solution -USA and Israel call the shots in Palestine.

and uncritically supplied Israel with intelligence +weapons, not only to completely destroy and suppress Gaza, but also to launch attacks on multiple countries in the Middle East. Kamala Harris did nothing to even suggest that would change. Just vibes.
Rather a Hobson’s choice if you ask me . 2/2

Forgive me but that’s a rose tinted memory of Biden. The rights of free speech and protest were being curtailed in American colleges throughout the last year of President Biden’s presidency. He maintained many of trump’s tariffs, was meekly cracking down on immigration due to republican pressure,1/2

They’re firing fit, tough, uncompromising three star generals now Ted.

Unpeaced The U.S brokered, Highly acclaimed, Once in a generation, Unprecedented, Colonial betrayal called "peace" that was never peace, with no ceasing of fire Has been unpeaced; On cue And as predicted. The addiction runs deep.

Unpeaced

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

In a two party system, where both parties are vying for votes, but basically pursue the same policy agendas with slight, nuanced differences that voters strongly disagree with, that doesn’t leave voters with a voice to effect change. The least best option is not really choice.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

He didn’t see what you wrote so he couldn’t possibly comment.

Musk interpreting the meaning of Hobbits was not on my bingo card.

It’s like Gollum never lost his precious.

🌮🌮🌮🌮 for all!

Israel spat on Gaza’s hand when making their ceasefire pledge.

"No one asked me if I was the mayor."

That is incredible. As bad as you think the state of journalism is in this moment, it's worse. It's much much worse.

The level of brutality employed by federal authorities during the arrest of reluctant, non combative people seen on (countless personal videos) of US citizens gives lie to arguments of ‘antifa’ violence towards arresting officers.
Multi people would be dead if there was that kind of violence.

The triumph of bullshit Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Taxpayer is paying. They look cheap, are cheap but they cost a bundle.

3 panel cartoon of a figure demanding of a 2nd figure that they must move toward a nazi to win the center. in the third panel, the 1st figure moves to the right of the Nazi, and as he passes says "on your right." the first figure, who has not moved, looks back to see that he is standing the the right of the sign that says 'the center" with an arrow pointing off panel to the left.

When you're right, you're right.
