Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

Online leftism is a powerful system of self-surveillance that effectively captures & counters righteous anger. People who want to fight fascism have to actually fight it & not be consumed by timeline wars, leftist influencer rage bait & manipulation by outside forces, warns @williamcson.bsky.social.

Anyway, I can't recommend reading Omar El Akkad's "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" enough. We're getting closer to that one day: penguinbookshop.com/book/9780593...

wow. with this announcement, all of ed sheeran's openers for this tour have pulled out:

Having to blast Thrift Shop was not how I wanted to spend 2026 yet here we are

For people thinking, what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production coming next week, that's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis and 1979 Iran war oil crisis. Each followed by a major recession. Prices and supply are global. And global oil stocks are already gone. It's a calamity. 1/

Massive layoffs today at McClatchy's local newspapers in Lexington, Kentucky; Miami, Florida; Sacramento, California; Charlotte, North Carolina and more. Reactionary politics depend on an uninformed populace and here we are: www.lpm.org/news/2026-09...

ICE just spent $1.5 BILLION to purchase two massive prisons in California it was already using for detention, in an effort to avoid oversight from the state, which has been pressuring the private prison company that owned them. CoreCivic will continue operating the facilities.

Pope Leo is a G and they're never going to let us have a Black American pope again

In 1770 Crispus Attucks was the 1st martyr of the American Revolution. Son of an African father & Native American mother, he'd liberated himself from slavery & joined the multiracial ranks of northeastern mariners b4 sacrificing his life, as G.W. Williams put it, “on the altar of a people’s rights.”

Today I learned influential photographer August Sander had a son, Erich, who was a socialist & activist imprisoned for high treason by the Nazis. Erich Sander smuggled a camera into prison where he took photos like this one of French Resistance member Marcel Ancelin weristwalter.eu/project/port...

if you have feelings about SCOTUS after today, and after the last week, and after the last months and years, remember that at least you can vote for state supreme courts in many places this year, and those matter a ton too my state-by-state guide to every state supreme court contest:

I love you Danny and all of San Francisco does too

Absolutely correct.

Even moreso than he LIKES the Fed, Roberts acknowledges the importance of the Fed to his top interest group, which is corporate interests. Same with mail-in voting: It would hurt Republican voters most, and Roberts needs them. All "good" opinions from him are best for his preferred Americans.

Three Great Society-style Democratic wins in NYC AND we get rid of James Carville????? Best political night I can remember in decades!

this is simply no longer a winning electoral strategy anywhere — not in PA, not in NYC, not in the USA, not on earth. the people of the planet are rejecting the us-israeli war machine. the only way this politics can survive in democracies is by subverting the will of voters and democracy itself.

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Could be a great thing to run on if there was anyone who still cared about serving the public

Up last night. Bless this family for this unbelievable loss over a disputed allegation of diaper theft. And bless the detailed and very human coverage by the @mississippifreepress.org reporting team. THIS is what we mean by people-centered journalism. It’s not less hard-hitting, it’s more.
