This is the America that Republicans want. I don’t want this. I would like every person in this stadium to wake the fuck up or die quickly from measles. One or the other.

holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

Will someone, anyone, please stop these stupid, stupid people? They’re killing trees in D.C. They’re destroying historic landmarks. Instead, we’re getting crappy wading pools, whorehouse-level decor and a huge bill for the “improvements.”

Everybody there needed to yell out that Americans do not support the abuse of human rights. We all need to yell it at full voice, everyone. Scaring the fuck out of ICE is what they need to stop, and large volumes of opposing Americans is that force.

Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.

Hinojosa is "showing voters that Republicans represent heedless, exploitative oligarchs. “It’s 99 percent of us against, like, 15 billionaire dudes and the weak leadership that allows them to get away with whatever they want." Sounds like a winning argument to me. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/o...

NYC Rec Centers are a secret gem amongst the bougie gyms. A real deal for a year’s membership, and some have indoor pools. Not this one, but closed forever, so good to see it open. A few blocks away, they tore down the neighborhood library to build a new one. qns.com/2026/10/lost...

So for my last outfit of @thehenryford.bsky.social's #FabricofAmerica exhibit, here is this 1947 evening dress by Sophie Gimbel. She ran Salon Moderne, an exclusive boutique in Saks Fifth Avenue. The same year as this dress, she became the first woman designer on the cover of Time magazine.

Putin and his minions have demanded Zelenskyy's removal for years. To watch an American president echo Moscow's regime-change script is devastating. Trump is actively validating Putin's goals while Russia bombs Ukrainian families. A horrific betrayal of a democratic ally. [1/3]

After driving hours to visit her son in prison, Anita Wills was told she’d need to remove the underwire from her bra to enter. Prison officials didn’t have scissors, so they gave her a paperclip. “I did not get a chance to see my son that day,” she says.

If nothing else, just read the opening paragraphs of the new @vevalenz.bsky.social piece. This sort of casual cruelty, and worse, is so common in U.S. jails/prisons that to most it barely registers as scandalous—but it is, and this reporting really matters: boltsmag.org/california-p...

tRump is a criminal. Everyone working for him is a criminal. All of us are accessories to their crimes. They need to be removed from the White House tonight. Read what they have done:

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

The ACLU's letter cites my recent reporting on Deportation Depot. People told me stories about delays in medical care, living in extreme heat, and small portions of food. "The facility is designed to torture people and push them to their breaking point." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Each day the country degrades more and more. This unholy monster and his orcs have ripped the soul of America to pieces. It doesn’t seem repairable. I am ashamed. I am angry. Are you? What are we going to do about it?

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
