I really need for you to read these Robin Wall Kimmerer books. You won’t regret it, and reading these books will make you a better person. 💚

Beam me up😇

This is hard to believe. These bishops didn't realize that the photo op is the entire point of the President's team setting up stuff like this? Did they think Trump just wanted some private prayer cuz he's such a spiritual guy? I won't insult these bishops by believing they're that effing stupid.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

American “peacemakers” are not doing their jobs. Oleksandra Matviichuk draws attention to the humanitarian crisis in Oleshky. Excellent read. skywriter.blue/@avalaina.bs...

This Day in Labor History: October 24, 1975. Women in Iceland went on a one-day strike to protest both the unequal pay conditions they faced in the country and men’s refusal to recognize the reproductive labor they did at home. This is the largest protest in Iceland's history! Let's talk about it!

Very proud of my onetime student, Professor Sara Silverstein, whose innovative and timely book "For Your Health and Ours" was just published by Oxford UP. Anyone who is interested in health and democracy should read her book. @sarasilverstein.bsky.social sarasilverstein.org/for-your-hea...

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

The President of the United States is a liar.

The obvious here: the Tiitanic sunk—never recovered. #NotTooBright

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Trump just claimed the United States had done “a lot” for Ukraine, but that Ukraine has done “nothing” for the United States. This is unjust in the highest degree. And not just untrue in the normal sense — it is a big lie, designed to bring about horror and chaos. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-big...

His midterm message is “My life of luxury is just incredible”

Per Bloomberg, since 2025 began, initial US jobs reports have been revised down in 16 of 20 months, erasing 793,000 jobs. That’s nearly 40,000 jobs a month that were reported, then quietly erased. They just vanished like the donations for the Kennedy Center. unusualwhales.com/news/us-jobs...,

In other words: “You brown people should be grateful to live in a country where the vice-president calls you weasels in public”

Trump’s worldview is that it is good for evil to prevail and wrong for the righteous to resist.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

“Considering the fact that we are in the heart of one of the most economically prosperous regions of the country for the upper echelons, I just feel like it’s a stark demonstration of the inequality that exists in our society.”

Dave’s not wrong

A Resistance History of the United States by Tad Stoermer Smiling ear to ear, last night, I cracked opened the book and began to read. The book is brilliant. The writing is so good—suits my brain. Tad is a gem and a thinker. #history #books #power #abuse #resistance #read #nonfiction

Every election cycle for ten years has had some version of this narrative: Will evangelicals prioritize party and right-wing values to vote for the devil or will they stay home this time? And every time they choose the devil. Surest bet in politics. www.cnn.com/2026/10/13/p...

Things I learnt after meeting Palestinians/Settlers in the West Bank today, I believe it radicalised me even more. 1. There's a total seperation between Israelis and Palestinians, in roads, checkpoints, infrastructure, income, EVERYTHING. It's systematically an Apartheid system. It's so bad that

i have been following this (unbelievably stupid) discourse and it really seems like a bunch of racists think the world works like a game of civilization

trump out here pretending he doesn't know kimberly guilfoyle like he didn't have her dancing in his tent on insurrection day.

I think we may have a social problem understanding depiction and agency.

E.Potomac is everybody's golf course -- ALL ages & incomes Trump wants it Trump-style, so 400+ trees came down after the court said NO material changes The judge's review: "You're trying your worst" @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are fighting to keep it everybody's course @cnn.com👇 -TN

Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King #Horror #fiction Cycle of the Werewolf is a fun, spooky read that delights & entertains the inner child. With rich symbolism for the adult self. You might be too square, but you’re not too old to read this book. This #book is classic. I loved it! #read

Pink Slime by Fernanda Trías (climate dystopian novel) Toxic algae bloom poisons the air of a South American seaside city, causing a plague. The narrator (the protagonist) tells her story of life under the plague. The storytelling is engaging, gentle & beautiful. Loved it! #books #fiction #read

Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

Why conservatives shrug off sexual assault

Bless this LEGO designer in particular.

Pete Hegseth is giddy, animated, and euphoric at the prospect of a public execution. It’s almost as if he is high out of his mind. It is beyond wild. It is downright creepy.

Your boss was trying to incite a racist pogrom yesterday, Markwayne

💔

reading this, recalling how quickly the killing of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman slipped out of the news

Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .
