RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

Three detainees have died at ICE’s Camp East Montana, one in a death ruled a homicide. Federal auditors found evidence missing or destroyed, and inspectors documented 52 violations. ICE is now pursuing a $2.8 billion no-bid contract through 2028.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

This cop chased two women who had allegedly shoplifted diapers; gun drawn. When the mother lifted up Kohen to show the cop she had a baby in the car, he fired - killing the baby. Shoplifting charges were never filed. Mississippi ruled the shooting “justified”.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

A president saying clearly and with his full chest “I am directing the Department of Justice” to do … anything, would have been a five-alarm scandal in previous years. Now? It’s just a Tuesday.

Homeland Security’s investigators lost their wiretaps for months under Kristi Noem after the agency “inadvertently” switched internet providers. “I truly cannot comprehend how a law enforcement agency could drop the ball in such a catastrophic manner,” a former agent said.

We are sensing a pattern

Once again, an American has been viciously assaulted by Trump’s ICE thugs. We can’t keep funding this terror. Abolish ICE now.

A few months into President Donald Trump’s second term, political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it. 😳

She was murdered by transphobia 😥😥😥

It's almost like we shouldn't let a small group of the most venal people on earth control the internet

META “sincerely apologizes” for disabling the @No_Kings Instagram account at exactly the perfect time 🤔 @ezralevin.bsky.social : “This is strikingly reminiscent of what we saw in Brazil… We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime and collaborators on the outside.”

Tucker Carlson: "If you look at pornography enough or bestiality videos all day, after a while... it's kind of an attractive horse, I get it."

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Fox News keeps trying to make Michigan congressional candidate Abdul El-Sayed sound scary, but everything he says just keeps making sense.

A few weeks ago when Chris Rufo devoted a podcast episode to "The Indian Question," Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi denounced the racist "question" as dangerous. On Sunday, Krishnamoorthi was inside a Hindu temple when a white supremacist attempted to mass murder Indian Americans inside

It’s true…

Former “free speech” crusaders have ushered in an unprecedented campaign of censorship in Texas universities, resulting in pulitzer winning books being banned, medical and scientific facts being suppressed, and entire fields of study deemed “woke” being eliminated www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Why would a physical search of Omar’s home in 2026 be relevant to or necessary for an investigation into whether her dad filled out a form incorrectly decades ago?

Everyone’s mad at Danny Trejo for signing on to Ben Shapiro’s pro-ICE movie but now his son reveals how Shapiro’s team tricked an old man into doing this 😡

What actual DOJ weaponization looks like. We are very far off the cliff.

Columbus Day has become one of Trump’s obsessions on his anti-woke warpath. Should we be surprised that the U.S. president has a soft spot for a racist leader who engaged in war crimes and sexual abuse? Read 7 things about Columbus’ horrible record: zeteo.com/p/7-reasons-...

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Trump: I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap

NEW: Anthropic's AI model submitted a false homicide tip to the Philadelphia Police Department in July, authorities say. The Silicon Valley company discovered the unintended interaction two months later and alerted police officials this week. www.inquirer.com/crime/anthro...

Inflation on many everyday items was entirely due to tariffs, NY Fed says

Still the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history: the Oct 8, 1871, Peshtigo, Wisc., fire killed as many as 2,500. Same day as Chicago fire, but with many more deaths and no cow to blame. Slash-and-burn land management resulted in too much burn. A museum and graveyard for the victims stands in town.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

ICE agents have shot yet another person in the street, this time a man in his car in the Bronx while his small child sat in the backseat. www.reuters.com/world/us/per...

“…most commonly carried out in a handful of countries including Iran, North Korea and the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan. “releasing video of executions is most often associated with extremist militant groups like the Islamic State...” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war

Trump during the 2024 campaign promised to bring mortgage interest rates down to 2%: “We’re going to bring it down really fast. We will drive down the rates so you will be able to pay 2% and you will be able to finance and refinance your homes at much lower cost.”

A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

The grammatical 'colon' and the anatomical 'colon' are not etymologically related. The anatomical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kolon’ which means “large intestine.” The grammatical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kōlon’ which means “limb.” Both are a means to an end.

The alarmists have yet to be wrong 😕🇺🇸
