Inside tech billionaire Peter Thiel’s off-the-record lectures about the antichrist The political svengali and investor has been giving lectures on ‘an evil king or tyrant … who appears in the end times’

“Peter Thiel “drew on a wide swath of religious thinkers, including… the **Nazi jurist** Carl Schmitt, whose work he said helped create the core of his own beliefs” … 1/ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Feds tackled clarinetist mid 'Ghostbusters’ tune — now she faces felony charges A social worker and American citizen was tackled by a federal agent while playing her clarinet with a brass band — with most of the players dressed in Banana costumes — and now faces felony charges on...

TBF, it's possible to hurt someone with a clarinet, as I learned in 5th grade when I tried to jokingly pretend to bonk my friend on the head with mine, and the weight of it caused me to hit him harder than I intended. I still feel guilty about it. But this is not that.

Folks, please note this. The top military official overseeing Trump's boat bombings recently resigned with no explanation, and now Republicans in Congress are refusing to press for his testimony even in a classified setting.

Lots of new behind-the-scenes reporting in this piece:

Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover Nearly nine months into Trump’s oversight, sales for the three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been since the pandemic, according to a Washington Post analysis.

it's almost like they're ideas and plans aren't popular with the American people or something.

note how the messaging has shifting from "we're targeting criminals" to "we're deporting everyone"

Heritage Foundation Staff Revolt Over Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes The conservative think tank behind Project 2025 has joined the Republican civil war over Tucker Carlson’s softball interview with a neo-Nazi.

“The Heritage Foundation is facing a staff rebellion over its president, Kevin Roberts, expressing support of Tucker Carlson following his softball interview with… Nick Fuentes.”

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.

This means ANYbody he wants.

Loads of families are currently trick or treating from business to business and parking lot to parking lot along 26th Street in Little Village. There’s also loads of rapid responders with vests and whistles patrolling making sure families can enjoy the holiday in peace.

Armed and dangerous thugs roaming this country and abusing people, with the full backing of the White House and entire Republican Party.

Yes, they can detain American citizens and turn them over to local police. At that point local police decide what they’re going to do. And yes, I know that being undocumented is a civil offense; but evidently ICE didn’t get that memo.

Can they even arrest? They can detain. Don’t forget, being undocumented is an ADMINISTRATIVE offense in law.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

For Americans needing help during the cruel GOP shutdown, ripping away of health care subsidies, and refusal to fund SNAP which keeps millions of people from going hungry.

Editorial cartoon with a man in - blue suit and red tie on the bow of the Titanic ship dancing as the ship goes down with the caption below that reads: “King of the World.”

Impeach the SEC guy, clean sweep of Crazy Eddie Lutnick & Cantor Fitzgerald crooks along with Bessent and the crypto boys. Rightsize this damn ship now America.

Gilded Age my a$$. Cabinet members will all end up in prison at this rate. They are all putting all Americans in soup kitchen lines.

As I was saying:

SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.

The Trump Administration’s assertion that it can't use SNAP’s contingency reserves for SNAP benefits is contrary to:
▪️The plain language of the law
▪️Their own (now deleted) shutdown plan
▪️Guidance from prior Administrations

We have the receipts:

By the Numbers: Harmful Republican Megabill Takes Food Assistance Away From Millions of People The harmful Republican megabill, enacted on July 4, will dramatically raise costs and reduce food assistance for millions of people by cutting federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance...

Reminder: This is happening at the same time some of the biggest cuts from the Republican megabill are also taking effect, meaning millions of people will soon lose SNAP benefits on a permanent basis. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Largest protest in US history a few days ago.

The SNAP and Medicaid cuts will trigger even larger ones in 26.

Today’s rulings confirm what’s been clear all along: the Administration has been sitting on billions of available dollars that it is legally required to use to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 Americans who need SNAP to afford their groceries.

This week at CBPP, we focused on #FoodAssistance and #health. www.cbpp.org/blog/in-case...

DC: Join us TODAY from 3-5 PM @ the USDA HQ to kick off The People's Pantry. Fired & furloughed federal workers are collecting food for families in need + demanding the release of $6 billion frozen emergency SNAP funds. While Trump builds ballrooms, we feed people. actionnetwork.org/events/peopl...

That's why we're demanding Trump release $6 billion in emergency SNAP funds. Federal workers, members of Congress, partners & allies gathered outside the USDA headquarters to demand immediate relief for working families across the nation. No one should go hungry while a dictator builds a ballroom.

SNAP makes America stronger. Support @fedworkersunited.bsky.social: bit.ly/PeoplesPantr...

Will the Trump administration again ignore the judiciary?

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

There's a slightly famous poem that makes this point.

They have a copy on the wall of the US Holocaust Museum.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

A huge caterer’s receptacle of whistles and other containers with other supplies.

Come join us putting together whistles at the Maker’s Outpost (609 S Boulevard) from 7-9!!

the heritage foundation shifting gears into full rabid ethnonationalism in opposition to the current regime's kleptocrats and technofeudalists is the beginning of the custody fight over the right wing's future. both think they've won, and are now maneuvering to get rid of the other in 2028.
