If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

Local election night coverage sold to draft kings!! Every day America pushes beyond parody. Why not sponsored by Absolut vodka, why not sell special 3D glasses so you can be the only one on your block to see the real election map why not treat our republic like a negligible consumer good why

Trump has a new scheme to bribe farmers in swing states with welfare checks of taxpayer money because fuel has gone up so much because of his war. But only money for them, not for anyone else in the country. No, we have to keep paying higher prices AND we pay Trump’s voters.

I’m glad alito put in writing that originalism has nothing to do with rigorous historical research and is in fact just him talking to his imaginary friends bsky.app/profile/audr...

It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

🚨📣 PSA 🎃 📣🚨 Apple is making "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" available to stream for ANYONE in the US, whether you have an Apple subscription or not THIS WEEKEND: Saturday, Oct. 17 and Sunday, Oct. 18

I've convicted over 350 fraudsters, one every 8 days. Ron knowingly took donations from fraudsters who stole $1.6 million from the government. Who do you think is really serious about fighting fraud?

Russia continues to bomb Ukraine and kill civilians every single night. Meanwhile, the FBI director is in Russia tweeting “From Russia, with Love.” Absolutely disgraceful.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

All Trump’s overseas assets should be frozen. Hotels. Golf courses. Offshore accounts. Should not be permitted to enter the territories of the countries that are parties to ICC.

Trump: *says horrible thing* the media: he didn’t actually mean it Trump: no I definitely one hundred percent meant it

Alll of this. I started my career in construction, working office jobs alongside people who worked trades. Know how many 60-year-old guys I saw working as bricklayers? Doing demo? Zero. How many 50-year-old roofers there are? Zero. One reason unions fight for high wages is because careers are SHORT.

Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

I hope that young woman bankrupts Cornell University.

NEW: On Pope Leo’s World Day of Migrants, Cardinal McElroy told Catholics to “fight every dimension” of the Trump administration’s war on immigrants and to replace politicians who tolerate it. “In abandoning the words of Deuteronomy and of the Statue of Liberty, we are losing our soul as a nation.”

MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient? OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming O: 😊

I guess one way in which I differ from the Republican nominee for US Senator from Minnesota is that I love Minnesota and enjoy living here. Something I like about @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is that she likes the place she is running to represent. Seems like it may help someone in that job.

Mark Carney: “I would now like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.”

Straight-up extortion seems like a losing political strategy

Straight up confessing to war crimes now.

American troops ANONYMOUSLY sent photographs to CBS News to show the damage Iranian missiles and drones have done to the bases they are living on. The Pentagon is LYING about the war per Hegseth’s orders. He and the rest of Trump’s incompetent administration need to be impeached immediately.

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

I am driven to distraction by how *not angry* so many of my electeds seem. When they sit around and blab about policy this and policy that and blah blah blah, what I hear is "This is an interesting intellectual exercise for me." You should be barely able to contain yourself in public.

The same people who laughed when we said they'd repeal Roe v. Wade will probably laugh when we say that this shit will lead to people like RFK Jr. trying to ban abortion drugs because they're "poisoning America's water." subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

Stop calling this a DC makeover. This is an illegal desecration of our capital and a huge waste of American families’ money. DC is sacred ground, and we shouldn’t minimize the real damage being done.

Apparently Your City Government Can Legally Poison Your Water Jackson, Mississippi's water pipes are laced with lead. Officials knew it was poisoning 140,000 residents back in 2014 — and hid it. A federal appeals court just ruled the Constitution doesn't care. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Let me get this straight. If you are a fisherman and are even suspected of having drugs, the US has the right to blow up your boat. However, if you run one of the biggest drug rings in the United States, you get a Trump pardon and then a speech at the GOP convention. Make it make sense….

Your dad would be proud as hell of you, my man.

This man won his primary by 30 points.

$16 million later, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was supposed to be open by July 4. Instead, it looks like this.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

The culture of fear and intimidation instilled at the Department of Defense all stemming from Pete Hegseth’s incompetence and insecurities. A never ending quest to hide the truth from the American people and hunt down anyone who lets the truth leak out.

Just the worst people running our country.

“To avoid the White House’s rage…” The president as a classic abuser. Any victim of abuse has lived/lives this dynamic. Do whatever you have to do to avoid rage.
