Opposition to fascism is rising everywhere. I hope Brazil and Israel are next, then our own blue wave.

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...

ADAM JOHNSON: “The raid on @repilhan’s home has thus far received zero of the above media interventions. No editorials, no opinion columns in the Times, Post, or Journal…” theintercept.com/2026/10/15/i...

The body language says - I don't respect you, so I'm not going to turn to face you.

AI doesn’t need to go rogue to destroy humanity. It only needs to be in the hands of rogue people. And it is.

Blackmail, plain and simple.

Notice the PLU number on the label. Is DOJ going to prosecute Safeway for Mexican squashing the president? 😉

I don't understand why more people don't connect Trump calling Somalis "garbage" with the Hutus calling the Tutsis "cockroaches" and the Nazis calling the Jews "vermin." We know where it starts, and we know where it ends.

Could have made it more catchy. Try Lake Mexico and Gulf of Ontario.

Talk about manufacturing an issue. The WNBA doesn't have a single trans player.

Is this Trump feeling abandoned and betrayed?

Every world leader thinks Trump is a pathetic joke. Now they’re doing things just to mock him and get under his skin. America has broken all its alliances, destroyed its influence everywhere, depleted its military power. We’re a paper tiger and everyone knows it.

And some of the Catholic + fundamentalist Protestant stuff about abortion is rooted in theological leftovers from a *mistranslation* of the Torah into Greek a long time ago sooo

What about the “no IRS audit” part of the fake settlement?

WHITE JEWS, I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU THINK THAT COLLUSION WITH WHITE SUPREMACY WILL KEEP YOU SAFE IT WILL NOT IT IS DISGUSTING YOU DESECRATE OUR ANCESTORS AND YOU WILL FIND OUT THE HARD WAY HOW THIS WILL END FOR YOU SOLIDARITY IS, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN, THE ONLY WAY HOME FOR ALL OF US.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

Question: Can the blue states in which Trump intends to invalidate the election by sending in federal agents, get restraining orders in advance against the federal government?

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: The 2026 World Cup has been thrilling, dramatic and at times deeply controversial. These are 10 of the highest-profile controversies that have dominated the build-up to the tournament and the competition itself.

The devil was told it's time to take Mitch. So he googled "senator who became a Trump lackey" and found Lindsey by mistake.

Messi the Magnificent.

Given the constant vitriol he expresses for Obama, Biden, and other presidents, he is the last person on earth who has a right to say that. The lack of self awareness is staggering.

Executive summary: 1. U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. 2. Iran blocked Hormuz. 3. Ceasefire. 4. In exchange for Iran reopening Hormuz, U.S. will remove all prior sanctions, pay $300B, remove all military forces, never threaten Iran again, force Israel to withdraw from Lebanon.

Biggest TACO on record. Trump declares an agreement with himself. Israelis surprised that he says they agreed. They know nothing about it. Iran says they didn’t agree to anything. The guy is a complete delusional joke.

"Black people make up roughly 13.7% of the U.S. population, but 10.3% of medical school students and 5.3% of physicians. Hispanic people are also underrepresented in medicine, making up 20% of the U.S. population, but 12.3% of med students and 6.7% of physicians. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

“If elected … I will not let that happen.” Sounds to me like a plan to steal the election.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit

The case against Comey will obviously fail, but a conviction isn’t the point. For Trump, the indictment: - makes clear that he can prosecute his enemies based on nothing but his whims, without regard for merit or evidence - scares other prosecutors into obedience - imposes hardships on a foe

What a disgusting moronic idiot.

In case you were wondering who's soft on crime.

If you can automatically register people for the draft, then you can automatically register people to vote. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

Here’s my theory. When Trump posted his “civilization will die” tweet he had already decided that he has to stop the war. He needed it to look like the Iranians were scared and decided to give in. So he bluffed. The guy doesn’t realize that everyone sees right through him.

"Donald Trump has managed to break the two-century-old grip of fossil fuel on the human imagination," writes @billmckibben.bsky.social: billmckibben.substack.com/p/oil-and-ga... 🔌💡 (1/2)

Someone whose complete spoken words or written comments cannot be quoted in a newspaper or on TV should not be the president of the United States.

The daily chaos continues.

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

In my new book The Owned Continent, I trace the history of Europe's efforts to create independent defence over the past decades and detail how Washington, with the dutiful assistance of London on the inside, blocked it. It's incredible Article 42.7 was able to sneak in at all. theownedcontinent.eu

They’re absolutely conditioning us to having ICE around before they start putting ICE at polling places

Over eight million Americans took to the streets today, which makes No Kings 3 the biggest single day of protest in the history of our country. #NoKings

The Trump prophesy.

America spent 80 years building the most powerful alliance network in history. We blew it up in 12 months so one man could feel important. China is laughing. Russia is relieved. Our allies are making backup plans. Let’s flush the toilet of bad history. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The UK’s Royal Airforce is apparently providing refueling services to aircraft attacking Iran.

The U.S. Supreme Court is well on its way to endorsing Trump's takeover of the midterm elections, in clear violation of the Constitution.
