They'll investigate THIS for antitrust violations but not the mega media mergers that are destroying Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry? Mergers that destroy workforces and hike prices for consumers? God I'm so tired of being thru the looking glass. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10...

California holds the key to the House majority. But it also is slow to count slow late arriving mail-in ballots. Put your mail-in ballots into drop boxes instead or vote early in person, and we can remove Trump’s ability to leverage the lag after Election Day.

Sure, suggest a foreign power kill millions of American citizens. That's what a President of the US should do. I can't wait for the day when I can pop the champagne and celebrate never having to hear anything about this deranged, addled, hate filled bag of shit again. www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of the most talented, unique, beautiful humans ever born has left this earth. Not sure why death felt like it had to take one of the truly good ones when there's so much garbage to be taken out. Her gorgeous voice & warm spirit will live on. #RIPDolly deadline.com/2026/08/doll...

He wants an attack so they can declare marital law and cancel the mid-terms.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

The incredible WGA staff who supported us during the long months of our strike are now on strike. They deserve a fair & equitable deal. I urge the @wgawest.bsky.social to come back to the table & negotiate in good faith. Please show your support by contributing to their strike fund. #Solidarity

I've been wondering where the protest songs were. Of course it's The Boss who steps up. #jerseyproud

Bruce Springsteen@brucespringsteen.net

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

One of the ways I try to stay sane during all the horror, sadness and fury is working out. Jump rope HIITs and regular jumping have become some of my favorites. (Thank you Crossropes) Last week I hit a huge milestone. Who knew I could be so bouncy?

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

James Ball@jamesrball.com

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally. Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

Creatives starve and struggle to pay bills. The same creatives whose talent this studio conglomerate was built on. If you don't think there's a problem with wealth disparity in this country you're either a fool, willfully ignorant or like having the jackboot of corporate America on your throat.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

This is a brilliant idea! Come on Dems, let's go.

Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social When is California getting it's shit together on Covid vaccines?

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com

Maine Governor Janet Mills has issued a standing order that serves as a prescription allowing anyone to get a COVID vaccine at a pharmacy or clinic. The Maine Bureau of Insurance also issued a bulletin reminding insurers that they must fully cover the vaccine under state law.

I will vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate who promises to expand the Supreme Court. This court's corruption and blatant ignoring of the Constitution is sickening.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑@50501movement.bsky.social

BREAKING: The Supreme Court on a 6-3 ruling just UNDID a federal judge’s ruling to prevent stops based on your race. SCOTUS will rule on anything but releasing the Epstein files. SCOTUS no longer serves Americans or abides by our constitution. We need a complete re-work of our government.
