110,100 men gave their lives in battle fighting for the Union and to defeat the Southern Oligarchs. Don’t let their deaths be in vain 160 years later. #Resist #History #USCivilWar #MartyrsForFreedom #USA

i’m ignoring marist lv screens from now on.

Apparently bears repeating these days that the American scientific and technological dominance from the 1940s until the Trump Era was in large part a product of very smart people wanting to come here to work and us making that easy for them

Perfect

Republicans every fucking day:

Wow. Stephen Miller is about the change the rules on who can claim asylum.

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

DETAILS (as predicted): FT: Residents of Oleshky who want to evacuate to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia. Zelenskyy warned about exactly this scenario. My take: Russia will do a propaganda movie about people “saved” (not starved) by RU, amplified by DC.

Trump: I'm gonna fuck the flag. Vance (later, after being asked if Trump is going to fuck the flag): President Trump loves making jokes and respects America. Trump (that night): I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right here on this stage.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

October 27, 1962, was arguably the most dangerous day of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a day when human error, rushed preparations, aggressive tactics, and sky-high tensions could have set off World War III intentionally or by accident at least four separate times. Here’s what happened (a long thread):

Steve Schleicher: “Stop being the department of obstruction and begin being the department of justice” "I've never seen a family treated with such cruelty and disrespect".

The family says they've been at the memorial multiple times and visit when they’re in Minneapolis. With tears, they talk about their appreciation of the caretakers that have been tending to the memorial each day. Alex's mother says she saves every single post she sees about Alex.

“The federal government went on tv and lied about Alex. They tried to slander his memory to cover up their crime. Not only was it wrong. It was shameful, unfair, and unacceptable. We want our sons killers brought to justice once and for all.”

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

The press is covering up Trump's pedo rape scandal.

Does anyone know who the "William Barr" is who is mentioned in the FBI chart on page 22 of the House Dem staff Epstein report? democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

Sternberg Museum of Natural History is fighting for its life in Fort Hays. Donors stepped up -- for now. With higher education challenges, Fort Hays State Uni can't keep paying for the museum, so hopefully something is figured out to keep the doors open. kansasreflector.com/2026/10/27/f...

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

Extremely funny to go "I can't believe the Poles didn't insitute reforms that would have upset Moscow" with a header image of What Happens When You Upset Moscow

So Clay Travis, born and raised in the Nashville area between 1979 and 1997, is saying on his podcast that Obama is trying to ruin his precious childhood memories of happy family outings to Cheesecake Factory. The first Cheesecake Factory in Tennessee opened in 2005.

The parents of Alex Pretti are about to address the media for the first time since Pretti’s killing by CBP officers in January. Lots of memorabilia on display in front of photos from the day of Pretti’s killing.

Trump is heading back to Kansas. 3 rallies in 13 days by him and Vance

Texas Transgender Student Union, the anonymously registered LLC in Wyoming that sent the bogus mailers, has retained Ken Paxton's impeachment attorney, Chris Hilton, to represent them in a court cased filed by Transgender Education Network of Texas, the group that TTSU impersonated in the mailers.

Susan Pretti, Alex Pretti’s mom: “He was exceptionally kind and caring…he understood right from wrong. And he did not tolerate bullies.”

This is legit wild. One of the Trumpiest GOP kooks we’ve had holding high office here in Texas makes an absolute spot-on, beautiful, non-partisan call for government transparency against the governor’s attempt to hide his emails with Elon Musk.

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein
