Hey new followers! I got put on a couple of lists recently. I don't really mind, but I may miss following you back. If you're not a bot, just ask and I'll be happy to follow you back. I'm kind of busy right now so it's a bit hard to keep up. ❤️

@johnlegend.bsky.social: "When Vivek Ramaswamy hears of an indicted child abuser who fled the state rather than face charges instead of siding with the victim. He takes the side of the abuser…Do we want a man with this sort of depraved moral compass to lead our state?"

"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

Beatrice Keul, testified that she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald J Trump, who then brutally raped her in a hotel room in Atlantic City, NJ, and her claims were deemed credible by a panel of the House Judiciary Committee today. The NYT has decided that this is not reportable news.

If Brazil and Serbia can do it, we can do it too. joycevance.substack.com/p/live-on-de...

Trump is heckled for a third time at his speech in Mississippi: "SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!!"

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

Both false and racist

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

🍂 Bruce Springsteen; Letter to You (2020) Some albums just belong to a particular season, and this one feels made for autumn, a record that looks back on a lifetime of friendships, memories and loss, yet somehow sounds so wonderfully alive.

In case you didn’t catch this before, here it is and it’s wonderful. youtu.be/t1aPccIVl-8?...

During this year's AmericanaFest in Nashville, Rita Wilson shared the stories behind her new album, 'Sound of a Woman,' exploring everything from midlife and grief to marriage—and the advice from Bruce Springsteen that reminded her it’s never too late to pursue your passions.

this week in 1975, Bruce Springsteen appeared both on the cover of Time and Newsweek - #MusicSky.

Atlantic City ant just one of the greatest Bruce Springsteen songs. It’s one of the best American songs ever recorded. “Well now everything dies baby that’s a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City”

Jay-Z announced as headliner of the Super Bowl halftime show.

The right can't seem to see the distance between "I just see trans people as people" and "I will force everyone to become trans whether they want to or not, so help me God"

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

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.

The right firmly believes that they should be allowed to say whatever they want and you should not be allowed to dislike it in the slightest

One of the hallmarks of Trump is that he lies repeatedly about elections that he won.

As a GOP legislator in North Carolina, Sarah Stevens helped her party adopt gerrymanders and strict voter ID rules. Now she’s running to unseat Democratic Justice Anita Earls, who voted to strike down those laws.

In Brazil, it appears that voters who opted for eliminated first-round candidates roughly broke even in the runoff (even if the candidates leaned right). But the big difference was: Millions of voters who cast 'null' or 'blank' ballots in the first round then voted for Lula.

Every two years I look for @taniel.bsky.social's Cheat Sheet to the general elections. Here is the 2026 cheat sheet. I will be referring to this on election night. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

A single billionaire megadonor is propping up the Republican effort to stop Dems from flipping Pennsylvania’s Senate and gaining full control of government—to a much greater degree than Elon Musk is doing it at the federal level

Via @stephenjcaruso.bsky.social, who really should post here more than there, I'm counting $8.52M from Jeffrey Yass to try to preserve a GOP state senate majority in PA (candidate giving, SRCC, and State GOP) and another $1.1M to stanch the bleeding in the state house, where Dems lead 103-100.

Y’all. I’ve seen the heartbreaks of Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter. I felt the burn of a Stacey Abrams loss. And I’ve felt the energy before Biden, Warnock, and Ossoff victories. I can feel this one in my bones. Good things are coming to Georgia.

The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

Bill Clinton played the sax for 30 seconds on Arsenio Hall and stomped Bush sr after

This Administration is so profoundly racist that they see something vaguely Black and think, “punch line.” This government would make Woodrow Wilson blush.

More racism.

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves with these lies in service of an unconstitutional war that Congressional Republicans have let happen by abdicating their Article I powers.

Glengariff/Detroit News Michigan Poll Senate 🔵Abdul El-Sayed 51% 🔴Mike Rogers 45% Governor 🔵Jocelyn Benson 51% 🔴John James 45% 10/19-10/22, 600 LVs, MoE +/- 4%

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

Former Prosecutors and Human Rights Leaders Launch The Rule of Law Project ruleoflawproject.org/news/project...

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

Incredible — Trump tries to self-soothe about Obama’s Cheesecake Factory Line clearly hurting his feelings… for 2 full minutes 😬

Did brain worm just rat on no brain?

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
