When you hear "this is why we can't have nice things" thrown at a liberal /the left. It's echoes of maga justification for their b.s. "your p.c. stuff hurt my fefes, so we are going to go full fascist". Also ask: what nice things? Healthcare? Housing? Or is it, the ability to ignore suffering?

This is why we can't have nice things quiet riot

If anything, this story undersells Jenkins's right-wing links. He's a 2026 Claremont Sheriff Fellow, he was indicted in a machine gun corruption scheme (charges dropped), and he has long been a spokesperson for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Tanton anti-immigrant group.

Checks and balances are a myth

You don't need that Starbucks latte. 12,000 baristas have organized. They've spent years fighting for a fair first contract. They're demanding better pay, more hours, safe staffing and basic protections. Support the workers, not the corporation stonewalling them. Boycott Starbucks!

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

A Florida mayor was recently arrested after she reportedly funneled $50,000 in COVID relief grants to businesses owned by her family in 2025. https://fox59.com/news/national-world/mayor-of-kissimmee-arrested-for-funneling-covid-relief-grants-to-family-businesses-officials/

Saw “You Can See Everything.” Extraordinary film. Lives up to the hype, and do avoid spoilers. Also don’t let it leave you too unsure about Holmes—reality check on her from my pal @johncarreyrou.bsky.social, who broke the Theranos fraud. (But see the film first!) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/b...

Welcome to the world brought to us by consevative/gop policies.

My guess is this will accelerate other countries cutting dependence on u.s. weapons systems in general.

U.S. weapons makers gonna see a reversal of fortunes over the next 10 years.

So in a huge surprise to absolutely no one, it turns out that NIH director Jay Bhattacharya's new journal based on the premise of letting his friends and only his friends publish essentially whatever they want is full of crackpot nonsense from retired cranks.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Yup, this youtube.com/shorts/rvGAz...

F&$k OFF Friday - The winner is - Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for releasing most repugnant attack ad of the election cycle - F&$k off Vivek Ramaswamy, F&$k all the way off.

Think of all the time people like Schumer and Jeffries wasted insisting the real problem was the “super MAGA extra MAGA deluxe MAGA Republicans” because they were fucking so afraid of offending their Republican buddies on the Hill

I think Clinton, Obama and Biden did good things when they had Democratic majorities but if you compare it to what Reagan, Bush and Trump have done you can comprehend why we need to change this culture where we simply dont demand enough of the Democratic Party.

Greece has joined the European protests in France, Spain, Italy and Albania. We are sick and tired of billionaires and their blatant theft.

Inherited ultra wealth leads to incompetence. That's our current ruling class.

F musk F sociopath billionaires & F the republicans who increased their power exponentially.

Republicans don't care, they call it "capitalism", since their version has no rules or regulations.

They really are going for: "we are in charge, you will own nothing, and like it" Until people burn it all down, and try and hunt them like rabid wolves.

When democrats had a senate majority I said they should conduct hearings to reexamine all his contracts. The party punted. If they do it again they deserve extinction.

The gop created the exponential growth in the ultra rich's wealth that funds so much bad. It started in the 80s. So f*&k this "good republican" whose fighting Trump b.s., unless the see how the structure that created Trump was built.

We don't have a justice system, we have an injustice system

If only she was more respectful. By that I mean, if only she had a bottle of wine in her hand while she did this.

PSA: You are not alarmed enough about what Trump has planned🚨 🗳️ A Washington insider tells us keep an eye on Kevin McCumber — “if he gets forced out things get scary… legislative coup… Local reporters shld make sure they’ll respect certifications by states, oppose the Clerk overthrowing results.”

I doubt radiofree tom will wade into this one, his hero worship of Reagan knows no bounds.

To win Michigan, AES is campaigning with Obama, Bernie, AOC. That’s who you campaign with to win swing states. Not Dick Cheney’s daughter.

"We CAN'T defund ICE." IDK call Ro Khanna and ask him why he co-sponsored a bill to give DHS more money.

NEW: A ProPublica data analysis shows that delays resulting from USPS’ cost-cutting measures have endangered the validity of ballots mailed in rural areas. Counties that voted for Trump in 2024 have been most affected.

Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims. (Published May)

So ICE has a long track record of just scooping up and holding U.S. citizens. How many people do you think they are going too scoop up so they can't vote?

Lol, wait for it. Microsoft is going to start getting their software jailbroke, by a.i. tools and they will lose their damn minds. No more auto forced updates, backwards compatibility. Yeah software gaints are freaking out. See ps5 Sony be crying.

After losing countless cases. After being scolded and threatened by judges because of their blatant malfeasance. ZERO consequences for this administration. Checks and balances my furry butt.

Wisconsin rural media markets are dominated by right wing talk b.s., they blanket the damn state.

Institute, think tank and even university are often just fronts for billionaire viewpoint propaganda these days. As FDR would say the "economic royalists" must be reigned in, their power is antithetical to a functioning democracy. The gop is their b:tch.

The leader of the gop who has 76% approval of republicans praises the afd. The gop is nazi aligned. They became this way by the design of billionaires they gave power to. It was built over 30 years.

Economic engagement with authoritarian governments was the brain child of rich business f&cos, and its looking like it might be the death of western. democracy. The above is the issue, not immigration.

Or as trump calls him our bestie.

Good luck florida and gulf coast

A.i. is gonna Crack. Coreweave is screwed. Korean a.i. ipo lost 30% day of. Microsoft pulling out (likely cuz they say Playstation get cracked by people using A.I. tools and know they are screwed unless they make it expensive). The A.I. bubble gonna esssplode.

Corporations & cops can kill people in the u.s., with only rare consequences. Regular citizens? Sheeeeit We can't even walk down the street, drive or sit in the park with out cops screwing with us.

Republicans what a party

Confiscatory taxes and aggressive enforcement of antitrust laws

Narcissist thy name is boomer

A theme running through the progressive dems running this year is just going to voters and talking to them instead of listening to the consultants and focus groups who say they need to spend all their time peeling off disaffected republicans
