Former academic. I’ve moved from Iowa to Wisconsin to Minnesota over four decades—the Midwestern hat trick. Glad to finally be home in a blue state.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT): “U.S. government is currently a state sponsor of terrorism. I understand that sounds political and hyperbolic, but it is factually true. Russia is deliberately carrying out large-scale strikes against civilians in Ukraine,while Trump is deliberately funding its actions.”

“The solace I take in all of this is minimal, of course, but a teaspoon of schadenfreude tastes so much better than the shovelfuls of shit we’ve been forced to swallow for the last ten years.” michaelianblack.substack.com/p/loser

michaelianblack.substack.comLoserWhile I do not wish to make fun of the demented, I cannot help but notice that our president spent ten minutes or so yesterday whining about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Trump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency

This is not how anything works. Vance knows this. But his fucking idiot followers don’t because higher ed is already the devil to them. I hate it here

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

I don’t give a damn if Theo Von and Joe Rogan change their tune and become full-out Democratic socialists. They will say whatever is deemed widely popular in the moment to retain their podcast audiences. They gave you Donald Trump.

More MAGANAZISM: For nearly 50 years, the federal government has said people with disabilities should live, work and learn in the most integrated setting possible rather than be segregated in institutions like nursing homes. Trump is reversing this policy. www.npr.org/2026/10/01/n...

Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly? No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game. A MAGAt undone by misogyny. Not at all surprising.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Moved to Minnesota three years ago. No regerts.

Yes. I remember this concept from the Beatitudes.

“If you’re evil you’re actually kind of good. Because you’re at least getting something done.”🤔 Y’all aren’t alarmed enough about what MAGA tech billionaire (Trump donor, J.D. Vance’s pimp, Epstein’s buddy) Peter Thiel is doing to our country.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Sophie Cunningham scored 0 points in 15 minutes for the Fever tonight. In those 15 minutes, her +/- was -20. Thought I'd share these stats, since she wants us to talk about basketball now.

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

I hope all the beef ranchers who voted for Trump are watching things go from bad to worse for them. They’re getting tossed under all the buses

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

If you put ten children in a room with a single large red button that launches all nukes, it would be a genuine threat to humanity. But it doesn't mean children are a human extinction risk. It means the person who puts them near the nuke button is a human extinction risk.
