Physics says that all things fall at the same rate, but I don't think anything could match the downward velocity of the writing on the last few episodes of Strange News Worlds season 3.

Nearly 7 Million Attend Overwhelmingly Peaceful No Kings Day of Action WASHINGTON, DC - In one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, nearly seven million Americans gathered today, 2 million more than June, in over 2,700 cities and towns for the No Kings Day of Peaceful Action, standing together in nonviolent defiance of authoritarianism and affirming that this nation belongs to its people, not to kings. With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, today's mobilization was 14 times larger than both of President Trump's presidential inaugurations combined, marking a historic moment of unity and resistance. From rural communities to major metropolitan centers, the message was clear: America will not be ruled by fear, force, or one man's power grab. While the Republican-led government shutdown continues to wreak havoc, forcing hundreds of thousands of families to go without pay and cutting off critical services, the people they represent are stepping up to lead. Across districts, neighbors are organizing, marching, and demanding a government that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.

the american public in 2025 thinks the republican party in 2025 is less bad than the american public in 2017 thought the 2017 republican party was, and there is really no good answer for why besides "republicans run every company that decides what your phone shows you"

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

I do not suggest "drink when Mike Johnson pretends not to know something" as your drinking game, as you will likely not survive

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

Repost if you have more followers than the Official White House BlueSky Account

Pardon Moi Even I had to shake my head at the news that Trump commuted the sentence of former congressman George Santos this evening.

"What’s rotten at the top filters its way down. Which is why ICE agents feel emboldened to shoot pastors in the head. They know no action they take is too extreme for their boss, dog murderer Kristi Noem, or her boss, Jeffrey Epstein murderer Donald Trump." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/pardon-moi

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

As long as we don't think about all the people who lost jobs for tweeting, "hey, this Charlie Kirk guy seems to have been a racist?"

A GOP attack ad deepfakes Chuck Schumer with AI The 30-second video from the National Republican Senatorial Committee is raising alarms among many observers who warn it crosses a new boundary in politics and could unleash a flood of AI-generated deepfake attack ads.

Think of how many top-notch artists, engineers, writers, etc., you could hire if you paid one CEO just a couple million less.

If you have ADHD, there is a huge, sometimes insurmountable gap between the "just" and the Thing You Should Be Just-ing. Just get off the couch, just take a shower, just stop interrupting people, it's not that hard you just need to try harder you just need to try harder you just need to TRY HARDER.

A tweet from FactPost reads: “Gov. Newsom has announced California will be the first state to sell insulin through a state-backed program. It will cost just $11.” Below the text are two images side by side: on the left, California Governor Gavin Newsom standing in front of an American flag; on the right, a close-up of a gloved hand holding a vial labeled “INSULIN (rDNA origin)” with dosage and storage instructions.

California leads the way!

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Good.

A tweet from Zohran Kwame Mamdani reads: “tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren’t working.” Below it, a retweeted post from Politico says: “Pro-Trump billionaire Bill Ackman gives $1M to anti-Mamdani effort” with a shortened link. The tweet implies Mamdani is responding humorously to the news article about financial opposition to him.

He’s good at this. Like Newsom level good.

If people have to work themselves to the bone to afford to live, they don't have energy to stand up and fight against the bullshit. Fascist regimes depend on a downtrodden populace to ignore what's going on around them, and Capitalism needs starving workers.

Mike Johnson wants us to think he's the least informed man in DC. That's his best-case scenario, that someone believes him when he says he's just a innocent ignoramus.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Salesforce Offers Its Services to Boost Trump’s Immigration Force

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to both avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Republicans: "Let's make having a child ruinously expensive. Let's block child care, utterly destroy our education system, kill head start and Sesame Street, increase childhood poverty, and strangle food stamps and medicaid."

Also Republicans: "Why aren't people having more kids?"
