🧵Shock Doctrine is a social control strategy that uses recurrent shocks to make people feel overwhelmed & easier to conquer. To inflict suffering, push us into submission, or prompt us to rise up against our oppression in a way the fascist regime can use as an excuse to institute martial law.

Israel's election is in 36 hours. Netanyahu just tried to launch some sort of military action in Iran. His minster of the Army refused! The military is no longer going along with Bibi's provocations. The two had a heated exchange at a military base with the minster refusing to obey illegal orders.

Earlier today Lieberman, a Netanyahu rival & former Defense Minister, formally asked the AG to launch an investigation into Netanyahu for TREASON. Apparently Bibi sent Israeli military fighter jets to the border of Iran to try to provoke Iran to attack. He's desperate to try to stall this election.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

What is something that brought you Joy today? For me it was this little bundle of mushrooms looking like the softest yummiest bread rolls growing at the foot of this plant.

Trump: "I looked at his ass... his ass is like, it's like a pile of muscle." People: "Trump sure is talking about men's asses and men's muscles a lot lately." Trump: "By the way I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass -- Nikki Minaj!

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

“Trump grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising. She described it as ‘brutal.’ After, Trump sat her on the edge of the bed, promised to arrange a visa and NYU admission, and made her promise to keep quiet, saying, ‘The show must go on.’”

Christiane Amanpour is leaving CNN after 43 years because of the Ellisons buying CNN. I think/hope she plans to try her hand at new media. This is a huge loss for CNN and her leaving tells us where things are headed at CNN. I wish her the best in her next venture. She's a brilliant, brave, bad ass.

Kegsbreath wants Blackburn to appoint him to her seat if she's elected Governor. He doesn't even live there. (Though he did for three years at one point.) These folks just move to states they don't even live in and then pretend to represent them while really only representing themselves.

More evidence that these AI creators are sociopaths. When coming up with three words that describe your child feels like "an impossible task", you are broken. Any loving parent has the ability to sing the praises of their child.

cool, cool

If I could animate, I would bring that second little piggy in the front row to life and insert Trump's "bleah" noise he made at that rally last week. When he stuck his tongue out, it looked just like that little piggy so I can already hear it in my mind.

Lula beat Bolsonaro in Brazil! This is a huge win for the rainforest, for indigenous people, for the Brazilian people, and for the whole world since their rainforests are the lungs of the Earth! This is GREAT NEWS!!!

What is something that brought you Joy today? I was unloading groceries, looked over, and one of the twin fawns, an adolescent now, was at the edge of the forest. We locked eyes and I turned away to signal I was no threat. That's when the other one leapt by, tail up, in the most goofy innocent way.

Hero!

I so hope Brazil elects Lula. Bolsonaro is Trump's pocket fascist. Lula protects the rainforest. Bolsonaro want to timber farm the rainforest. Lula protects indigenous people. Bolsonaro wants to wipe out indigenous people. Please oh please elect Lula. www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-lt-...

Vivek took out the part about Amy Acton's mother making them live in a tent because the tent is actually in the police report from when the police took the children away. Vivek knows all this stuff is true. He's telling the worst kind a lie a human can tell. www.joemygod.com/2026/10/rama...

I can't lie. Governor Pritzker dressed as Buzz Lightyear is delightful. I don't think I've ever seen another political leader dress up for Halloween. I love it. So many men are afraid of looking silly. Silly is fun. Kids respond to silly. And by "kid", I mean me.

I think the word you're searching for is 'Space Ranger.' It was truly out of this world to welcome trick-or-treaters to the Governor’s Mansion today — thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Business owners and event hosts have explicitly told Ohio republicans on Vivek's "bus tour" (more like bust tour?) that they don't want the horrendous publicity, angry phone calls, social-media attacks or customer complaints they would get for hosting Ramaswamy’s bus tour at this juncture.

While you're talking about metaphors, I'd like to address "Drain The Swamp". A swamp is a viable, important ecosystem that creates balance in nature. I feel a more apt term, say when talking about our current disaster of a political system, should be "Flush The Cesspool", seems correct to me... :D

Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand hoping things will go away or because they are scared. Ostriches stick their head termite mounds to gobble up termites. Ostriches are also very brave and confront things head on. We need a better metaphor for people with motivated blindness.

I have a friend who is a social worker doing the same work as this social worker. She has also told me stories of women like Amy Acton's mother.

Insiders at CBS are reportedly angry with Norah O'Donnell for selling out to Bari Weiss and sucking up to her in order to get a spot on the CBS morning show. Apparently Norah did get that spot ... but Bari Weiss was unwilling to pay for a good hair stylist for her.

Cher and Bob Mackie at the 1974 Met Gala. This dress was actually made by Mackie for a Vogue shoot and it was made from an illegal, highly flammable, ultra-fine, transparent silk fabric called soufflé. The same material was used for Marilyn Monroe’s famous “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress.
