On this #weirdpride day I’d like to thank some of the people who helped me get through my childhood. Anne McCaffery, Madeline L’Engle,Terry Brooks JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Raymond E. Feist, Niel Hancock, & Piers Anthony. These folks let Me escape. To Pern, Midkemia, Atlanton Earth & the rest.

He is on our ballots— Tenney = Trump Lemondes = Trump Buller = Trump Blakeman = Trump ❓How much more Trump can America stand❔

His integrity was purchased for a little over $3,000. www.propublica.org/article/depo...

There has always been a strong Indian-American contingent of Republican voters in Texas. But Republicans are becoming so damn racist that it might cost them Indian-American votes. Good @benjaminweiss.bsky.social piece. www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-in...

Huge if true. Dems in disarray.

MAGA Neighbor was asking about a contractor I used. I gave him name said he gave a cash discount. His text back to me: “I assume you used him because you’re Jewish?” I.e., the old racist trope of Jews being cheap. WTF I was shocked. I just can’t believe we are living in this world, still. Wtf

The reason Americans do not like history is because American history is nothing to like. So, they try to focus on everyone else's history.

My latest from MSNOW: The Republican Parties of Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona show this is your party on Trump. A decade ago, each of these parties were dominant. Now, they are getting their ass whipped. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

these people are shameless!

@doctorow.pluralistic.net have you patented Enshittification®️ yet?

As usual. Very good insight.

I think I may need to change my profile picture to dungeon crawler Carl. Or princess donut. What a fun series I’ve begun.

Shame!

Not here in ‘Merica though! We got them there internal combustion engines and we gonna keep drilling baby! Who cares if our grandkids’ll have to visit Alaska to see snow??

The clash between industrial agriculture and the organic food movement took center stage at this year’s Real Organic conference. With a world population expected to grow to 10 billion by 2050, how will we grow the world’s food? barnraisingmedia.com/can-we-feed-...

When JD Vance says Abdul El-Sayed should express "gratitude" for what America has given him, Vance is really saying he's lower on the American hierarchy than "heritage Americans" are. I asked El-Sayed to respond to this point. Here's his answer: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

i don't think we can come to a reasonable compromise with this

if i had my way, only people who've been right about how bad it could get—ideally since 2016—should be leading the coaltion that's a diverse group, both demographically & ideologically, it's not just like my faction. Rather, that should be the minimum regardless of faction

Won’t post the videos. But know that due to starlink hiccups, Russians are hunting people in cars, executing them with jet drones in Kyiv.

There have, of course, been times in human history that were even darker and more terrible. But never, it seems, have there been times so despicable and, above all, so stupid.

HEY @bsky.app I need some help. @ellmanforcongress.bsky.social needs some good mojo sent her way. She’s debating the MAGA puppet Claudia Tenney right now.

This has been the fundamental mechanism through which political media operates my entire life. The right makes a bunch of noise about a fake scandal, the mainstream media "covers the controversy," & normie voters get the vague impression that Dems are constantly involved in scandal.

counterpoint: HE NEVER MASKED IT THOMAS

For over 40 years, Marcy Kaptur has represented the people of Toledo in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District. But on November 3, Kaptur is running for reelection to a new seat that picks up several red, predominantly rural counties. @lizskalka.bsky.social barnraisingmedia.com/2026-electio...

A sobering truth. One man has upended 80 years of western security for reasons that history will judge as treasonous.

Kremlin couldn’t have written it better. I also like that this time the translation was pretty on point, too. ALLEGEDLY.

it is very funny to me that we libs have become the pocket constitution party now

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

1/ The Musk-Trump decision to degrade Ukraine's Starlink access as a pressure tactic is a disaster not just for the United States' reputation but for the entire US defence industry. Musk's action may end up burning the whole industry. ⬇️

I have tried not to say anything about this because it would make me too sad. And I still can’t really think hard about this or else it would break my heart. People with disabilities and their parents fight so damn hard to get their kids a public education. And then this happens.

😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian ​President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by ‌restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile ​of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his ​WhatsApp channel…” 1/

Speaking to the DNC Women’s Leadership Forum on rural voters. Rural Democrats are here. We’ve always been here. ❤️

Who else thinks that both Trump and Musk are Russian agents for Putin… And, that they are on a mission to destroy our beloved democracy? WHO ELSE?! 🤚

I was telling college students this week that the most important trend in Southern states to watch will be what older Black voters and HBCUs will do in a post-Callais world.

Unbelievable. I couldn’t turn away. Such an important talk

it's pretty f'd up that the Trump administration is trying to deport my duly-elected member of Congress

Feels, I don’t know, illegal.

It’s so odd, in a “not odd because they’re all sick criminals” sort of way, that rapists and pedophiles keep showing up associated with anyone that has close ties to Donadolph.
